Start a Cook Cycle

Press any product key to start a cook cycle. If the key is
programmed, the correct cooking time will be displayed
and will immediately start to count down in minutes and
seconds. DONE will display when the cook cycle has
ended.

The pressure solenoid will also close if programmed to
do so, or a basket lift will lower if so equipped. 

If DONE is displayed immediately and the unit starts to
signal,  the  product  key  being  pressed  is  not  pro-
grammed. 

Stop a Cook Cycle

Press and hold an active product key for 3 seconds. Tim-
ing will stop.

Respond to a DONE Alarm

Cancel the signal by pressing the same product key used
to start the cook cycle.

Action Alarms

If the controller is programmed for action alarms, they
will signal at a preset time during the cooking cycle. The
signal, a dual-rhythm beeping, will last 5 seconds and
then self-cancel. The display will flash the action alarm
time and the controller will start counting toward 0:00.

Holding Timers

If the controller is programmed with holding times, they
will automatically start counting upon expiration of the
cooking cycle. 

When there are active hold times, the HOLD indicator
light will be lit.

To View All Active Hold Times

, press and hold the

HOLD key. Upon expiration, the timer will display HOLD
and pulse with an audible tone. To acknowledge, press
the HOLD key.
