IDLE MODE

The Thermo-Finisher features an "Idle" mode. Once the unit
reaches the mode, the upper heating element(s)
automatically go into a programmed idle power setting. (The
display will still show during the idle mode). The unit will
stay in this mode until one of the five Program buttons is pressed,
or the unit goes into auto-shut off.
NOTE: Begin by setting the idle mode power setting at 30% and
adjust the program accordingly to achieve optimum performance.
To change the idle mode power setting, follow these steps:

and hold the ENTER
The display will show the current programmed power value

2. To adjust the idle mode, press either the UP
arrow until you reach the desired setting. See 7B . Each time
you press an arrow, the setting will change by 10.
3. To accept the new value, push the ENTER
a second time. See 7C .
NOTE: If no adjustments are made within 15 seconds,
the controller goes back to its original settings without accepting
the change. Pushing any of the numbered program buttons will
also take the controller out of programming mode without accepting
the change.

AUTO-OFF MODE

The Thermo-Finisher features an Auto-Off mode that turns
all the elements off if the unit has not been used for a programmed
length of time. This feature can be adjusted from 1 - 60 minutes

PROGRAMMING HINTS:

• On menu items in which internal temperatures are critical
(such as chicken or pork), the primary heat source comes from
the bottom. On menu items in which the surface temperatures
are critical (such as cheese melting), the primary heat source
comes from the top. See Recommended Food Finishing Guide
for specific menu examples.
• When performing product testing, use three plates with
the same product and run through the unit in succession. Adjust
program accordingly to achieve optimum product temperature.
• When testing a menu item not listed in the Recommended Food
Finishing Guide start by dividing the conventional cooking
time by three and use that number as your cooking time.
Set top and bottom heat at 50% and adjust from there. Program
setting will vary based on model and food product.
2. Turn the Power Switch to the "ON" position. See 5 . The unit
will make an audible beep, automatically go into "Preheat"
and the display will indicate
press one of the five product selection keys to put
the unit into "Preheat" mode.
Do not place any objects on the metal rack during preheat.
Doing so will most likely over-cook the product.
3. When the Finisher has reached temperature and is ready
for product, the unit will display
food product on the center of the metal rack when unit
is in mode.
4. Select one of five preprogrammed finishing cycles. Unit will
beep and the display will begin counting down the programmed
finishing time.
NOTE: If you make an incorrect selection it can be cancelled
by selecting any of the buttons on the Control Panel.
