INTRODUCTION The Mealstream 501 oven offers operators the flexibility of three heating functions; microwave only, convection only, and combination cooking. Combination cooking enables high quality results to be achieved in a fraction of the time taken by conventional cooking, particularly when baking, browning, roasting, grilling or producing gratinee dishes.
MAIN FEATURES 8 7 6 1 2 11 12 3 13 9 4 10 5 7 ON/OFF SWITCH 1 AIR OUTLETS 2 3 4 5 6 These vents on the side and rear panels enable air which has been used to cool internal components to escape. It will not allow microwave energy to escape into the environment. They must be kept free from obstruction. OVEN CAVITY The cavity is constructed mainly from stainless steel and vitreous enamelled panel on the door. It must be kept clean (see CLEANING).
CONTROL PANEL MENU KEY SOCKET MULTI-STAGE INDICATOR PROGRAM PAD TIME/ERROR DISPLAY POWER PADS CANCEL PAD TEMPERATURE SETTING PADS CONVECTION PAD TIME/PROGRAM SELECT PADS COLON TIME/ERROR DISPLAY POWER PADS There are 4 Microwave Power Pads to select from: 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. A light will indicate the one in use. CONVECTION PAD This is used when foods only require browning ( no microwave ) Note: when cooking, the MICROWAVE and CONVECTION pads start the cycle and timer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: MANUAL MODE The oven can be operated in manual or programmed mode. It is important to understand manual mode prior to attempting program operation. WARNING: DO NOT APPLY MICROWAVE ENERGY WHEN OVEN IS EMPTY DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT CLEAN AIR FILTERS IN POSITION To familiarize yourself with the controls place a bowl containing approximately 2.5 pints of water in the oven.
AUDIBLE WARNING At the end of every timed cycle an audible warning will sound. The audible warning stops when the door is opened. On closing the door after interrupting the cycle the audible warning sounds as a reminder to start the timer (see PAUSE FACILITY). The audible warning can be stopped by touching the cancel pad but it is important to remember that food in the oven will continue to brown until removed. PAUSE FACILITY A cooking cycle may be interrupted by opening the door.
PROGRAMMING NUMBER PADS ( 01-99 ) Pre-programming allows repetitive cooking procedures to be stored for ease of use. Each program can comprise up to three stages, allowing at each, independent control of Convection temperature, Stage time and Microwave power level. However, programs must be used with caution, since if the food to cook varies in weight or density, adequately cooked food may not be achieved.
RUNNING A PROGRAM Using number pad keys to run a program Programs 01 to 99 can be recalled using the number pad keys. The following procedure should be used to activate these programs. 1 Pre-heat the oven to the required starting temperature by pressing a TEMPERATURE SETTING PAD. Wait until the selected temperature light stops flashing. You can check the oven temperature by pressing the Temperature pad again Programs can be halted and cancelled at any time by pressing the CANCEL key.
