There are 400 programs that can be edited and retrieved at the user's request. All of them
can have up to 9 cooking cycles. To start a cooking, it is necessary to define at least one
cycle.
In user programs, it is possible to change any cooking parameters (temperature, humidity,
time, cooking mode, etc.). To do this, you must select the button corresponding to the
parameter to be modified and adjust the parameter value.
There are several safety measures that prevent abnormal operation of the equipment, of
which the user must be aware during use.
In case of any error, the unit will stop and display the error code (see chapter 6.7.16).
The oven will not operate if the door is open.

Cooking modes:
There are three cooking modes: convection, mixed and steam. To select a particular mode,
click on the corresponding button.

The convection mode acts as a forced convection oven without adding or removing
moisture from the cooking chamber.
The combi mode allows intelligent and controlled regulation of the removal or supply of
moisture in the cooking chamber. To do this, press the humidity button and set the desired
value.

- The Smart Assistant will show usage optimization options; for example, in the
configuration of the cooking processes to improve performance. You can suggest,
when necessary, changes to the user settings.
- Safe Steam, if activated, removes steam from the chamber during the last moments
of cooking. In order to avoid burns or steam discomfort when opening the door,
Mychef ovens can remove steam from the chamber at the end of the cooking
process. Even when in convection mode, this extraction can be useful to eliminate
the steam that may be released from food in the cooking chamber.
When the oven enters the steam extraction process, a large amount of steam can
escape through the chimney, depending on the saturation level. The use of a
condensing hood is recommended for Mychef ovens.

Please note that steam extraction only works in the final moments of
cooking. Therefore, this action does not occur when the oven door is
opened during cooking.

The parameters report a very wide range of features ranging from the type of oven to fan
configuration, etc. and also allow the technical service to perform tests and tests to ensure
perfect operation.
Statistical logs primarily store runtime, cycle repetition, and wear and tear values of certain
elements to monitor the life cycle and maximize the efficiency of all oven components.

6.7.15. NightWatch

NightWatch allows the oven to automatically continue cooking after a power failure. This
functionality is especially useful for unattended cooking.

This function will only continue with cooking in the event of a power failure
and subsequent recovery of the power supply.

This function can be disabled by your dealer. Make sure that you fully
understand the risks involved in using it.

When a cut occurs and the power supply is subsequently restored, the oven recovers the
current cooking (if any) and continues it with the same parameters prior to cutting.
The following figure shows the oven display when the power is restored and just before
starting NightWatch functionality. Pressing the START/STOP key in this state will cancel
automatic recovery.
If it is not cancelled, the Mychef oven automatically checks the temperature of the cooking
chamber. If the temperature is below 56°C there may be a risk of bacterial contamination.
In this case, the oven will continue cooking but will display error 28 when pressing the
START/STOP button to end the cooking cycle. In this case, the final user shall decide the
fate of the food, taking into account the risks of possible bacterial contamination.

To minimize risks, analyse the food after such a low temperature warning
when it is automatically recovered from cooking or discard it (Error 28).

Use the HACCP data record to always check cookings.

6.7.16. Errors and alarms

During the preparation and execution of any of the programs available in the oven, errors
may occur. If an error occurs in the system during use, it will be displayed in the error list.
The table below shows the different errors and alarms, as well as possible solutions to them.

7. MAINTENANCE

7.1. Cleaning

It is the responsibility of the owner to carry out regular maintenance and cleaning. To
maintain the warranty, it must be possible to check that maintenance has been carried out
correctly and according to the instructions detailed in this manual.
One of the important parts in the maintenance of the equipment is its cleaning. Therefore,
the equipment should be cleaned more or less frequently depending on the area of the
equipment.
Below is a table showing the frequency with which the different parts of the equipment
should be cleaned.

Part of the equipment Frequency

Inside the chamber Daily

Compartment behind suction plate Daily

Table 11. Self-cleaning and rinsing programs (MK3 system)

When starting a washing program, it is necessary to know the instructions for use and
warnings of danger that appear on the MyCare "Cleanduo" washing tablets.
Before the self-cleaning cycle, remove any pieces of solid food that may be inside the
chamber by hand. To remove food residues from the cooking chamber, remove them
beforehand and prevent them from going down the drain. You should not place trays or
racks during the washing process. It must always be carried out without load, to ensure that
the equipment is cleaned properly.

Figure 58. Start of washing program

For the use of the washing processes in as much as for the handling of the
products used in the process, appropriate protections must be used.

Cleaning programs are specifically designed to use MyCare Cleanduo detergent. The
special formulation of this product stands out for having twice the concentration of active
product than that of most similar products available on the market. It also includes a
polishing additive for a perfect all-in-one finish. This allows you to use only one MyCare
Cleanduo tablet per wash, with the consequent savings and ease of use.
Once the selected washing program has been started, the display will show the oven user
the progress and ask him/her to perform the necessary actions to carry out the task correctly.

Figure 59. Washing progress information

At the end of a washing program, the chamber may be dried. To do this, it is necessary to
select the option "Dry at the end of the camera", at the beginning of the program, prior to
selecting START/STOP.

Figure 60. Endo of washing program

Before inserting the MyCare CleanDuo tablet, check that the cooking chamber temperature
is not too high. In certain cases, before the start of the washing program, it will be necessary
to cool the chamber by means of the Cooldown action in order to ensure that the washing
is carried out correctly. The oven will begin a cooling process that can be done with the
door open to make it faster. A dierct notification will display through the following screen:

Figure 61. Cooldown process

Once the right temperature is reached, insert the detergent into the dedicated housing.
Once entered, close the door again to start the cleaning program.

mychefcooking.com PRODUCT MANUAL 210208_A


SERIE L EVOLUTION - DT.MP.LE.2103.2 66
Before starting any cleaning process, make sure that the water flow to
the unit is open.

If cooling is not required, you can place the MyCare detergent directly in its assigned space
and start the cleaning or rinsing.

MK2 self-cleaning system


In this system, a single tablet must be used in each cleaning cycle.
The 10 GN 2/1 models must use 2 tablets to ensure proper cleaning, as the chamber size is
much larger.

Figure 62. Housing for MyCare detergent (MK2 System)

mychefcooking.com PRODUCT MANUAL 210208_A


SERIE L EVOLUTION - DT.MP.LE.2103.2 67
MK3 self-cleaning system
This system allows the use of 1 or 2 detergent tablets. It is recommended to use 1 tablet in
all washing programs as a general rule, use 2 tables exceptionally if the oven is very dirty.

Figure 63. Housing for MyCare detergent (MK3 system)

Before starting any cleaning process other than rinsing, make sure that the
detergent tablet has been placed in the oven.

To insert the detergent tablet into the chamber, it is essential to stop the
fan. It is important not to introduce the detergent while it is running in order
to prevent the detergent from being drawn into the air stream and
endangering the health of the user.

The duration of the self-cleaning programs specified does not take into
account any cooling time of the chamber.

mychefcooking.com PRODUCT MANUAL 210208_A


SERIE L EVOLUTION - DT.MP.LE.2103.2 68
Once you have started the automatic process do not open the door under any
circumstances, as chemicals used for cleaning and steam may escape. This situation would
pose a significant risk of corrosion and burns.

Never open the door of the cooking chamber during an automatic cleaning
process.

During the execution of a washing program, it may be necessary to interrupt it due to an


emergency. In this case, pressing START/STOP will stop the program and rinse to remove
all detergent from the chamber.

Figure 64. Message after pressing START/STOP

If the cleaning process has been stopped without the cleaning process
being completed automatically, it is mandatory to remove all undissolved
pieces of detergent tablet from the chamber before proceeding with the
final rinse.

If any of the automatic cleaning processes are completed and you detect that there is any
detergent residue in the chamber (even behind the fan cover plate), perform a rinsing
program or perform a thorough manual rinsing of the cooking chamber.
If there is a power failure during the cleaning process, an error message will be displayed
on the control panel (error 26) when the oven is turned on again. In this case, and in order
to prevent detergent and brightener residue from remaining in the chamber, run a rinse
program.

Always run a self-cleaning or rinsing program when error 26 occurs.

SERIE L EVOLUTION - DT.MP.LE.2103.2 69
7.1.2. Suction

The piece that separates the cooking chamber with the fan and the heating element can be
removed to clean that area. In order to remove this piece, it is necessary to turn 90 degrees,
using a screwdriver or similar, the tabs that hold it.

Figure 65. Suction plate fixing screws

Once the part has been removed, cleaning can be done either manually or automatically.

Extreme care must be taken when cleaning this part of the oven. Leave
the door ajar and wait until the chamber fan stops.

When this process has been completed, the chamber fan suction part must be replaced in
reverse.

7.1.3. Door gasket

Once the cleaning of the chamber has been completed, the washing process will continue
with the seal that ensures the watertightness of the chamber. It is important that this part of

mychefcooking.com PRODUCT MANUAL 210208_A


SERIE L EVOLUTION - DT.MP.LE.2103.2 70
the oven is clean and does not have any pieces of food embedded in it so that it can seal
the chamber well and heat, water, or steam cannot escape when it is in operation.
To clean this rubber seal, a cloth soaked in water and a little bit of dishwasher is enough.
Then the whole area is rinsed out and dried well.
The gasket should not be removed from its contour for cleaning, it should only be removed
when it needs to be replaced.

7.1.4. Outer housing

To clean the outer casing, use a cloth moistened with water and dishwashing soap or
specific stainless-steel cleaner. Then rinse and dry.
To clean the glass on the outside through the outer door, use glass cleaner and hand paper
to avoid scratching the glass.

7.1.5. Control panel

To clean the control panel, use a cloth dampened with water and dishwashing soap. Then
rinse and dry.
Never use agents with alcohols or solvents, as they may attack the metals or plastics in the
control panel.

7.1.6. Front water drain

This piece is the one that allows water drops that may fall from the condensation of steam
from the interior door to go to the drain, so it is important to keep this water collector clean
and unobstructed.
Remove any bits of food that may have fallen out before cleaning. Then clean with a cloth
wet with soap and water and finally rinse with plenty of water.

7.1.7. Interior/exterior door compartment

To clean this compartment, the outer door must be opened, and the inner door clips
opened so that the door can be opened and the chamber between the outer and inner door
can be accessed.

Figure 66. Inner glass clamp

It is advisable to clean the inside of the outer glass and the inside glass on the outside with
glass cleaning fluid and hand paper. For the inside of the inner glass, if the dirt is not
excessive, you can proceed in the same way as the other glass. If there is a lot of dirt, a semi-
automatic or automatic cleaning cycle can be done to remove this excess dirt.
Once cleaning is complete, the inner door can be closed and secured with the staples.

Cleaning the oven with a pressure washer is harmful to the equipment and
could result in breakage and void the warranty of the equipment.

Do not use the hand shower accessory on the door glass while it is hot, there
is a danger of breakage due to thermal shock.

For the stainless-steel housing use a cloth dampened in a mixture of water and detergent,
or specific detergent for stainless steel.

mychefcooking.com PRODUCT MANUAL 210208_A


SERIE L EVOLUTION - DT.MP.LE.2103.2 72
Never use cold water to wash the interior of the cooking chamber when it is
above 70ºC. Thermal contrast is harmful to the equipment and would void
the warranty of the equipment.

7.2. Preventive maintenance

Mychef ovens are designed for intensive and long-lasting operation. For this to happen, in
addition to regular cleaning tasks, preventive maintenance must be carried out. This
preventive maintenance is specifically designed to prolong the life of your Mychef oven,
minimize energy and water usage, and ensure excellent cooking quality without
interruption.
This maintenance program is segmented into four types of revisions, A, B, C and D, which
should be performed approximately every year or 2.000 working hours, whichever comes
first.

These periodic reviews should be carried out every 2.000h of work or every
year, whichever comes first.

These periodic checks must be carried out by an authorized service


technician.

The following table shows the operations to be performed on Mychef ovens at each of the
revisions. The table is circular, and from 20.000h of use or 10 years would start counting
again on the left of the table. That is to say, at 22.000h it would correspond to revision A of
2.000h.
