1.1 Product description
Vcolor 368 M & L controllers manage all the most up-to-date functions of electric combination ovens for gastronomy and pastry-
making. Additional optional modules also make it possible to control ovens with an external boiler and gas burners.
Their innovative programmable platform enables the OEM, completely independently and without the use of additional software or
hardware, to personalise the user interface graphics to an advanced degree, to set up the recipe book with high quality photographs
and to add new machine interface languages.
Available in a 5 or 7-inch version with a capacitive colour TFT touch-screen graphic display, it can be installed flush with the panel thus
making it fit perfectly with the design of the unit.

nstallation precautions
- ensure that the working conditions for the device (operating temperature, humidity, etc.) are within the set limits. See section 17
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.
- do not install the device close to heat sources (heaters, hot air ducts, etc.), equipment with a strong magnetic field (large diffusers,
etc.), in places subject to direct sunlight, rain, damp, excessive dust, mechanical vibrations or shocks.
- any metal items close to the control module must be at a sufficient distance so as not to compromise the safety distance; any cabling
must be placed at least cm away.
- in compliance with safety regulations, the device must be installed properly to ensure adequate protection from contact with electrical
parts. All protective parts must be fixed in such a way as to need the aid of a tool to remove them.

3OPERAT NG THE DEV CE
3.1 Switching the device on/off
After having connected the power to the device, wait for the system to load. On the Stand-by page, touch the icon in the centre to
access the Home page. To switch off the device, make sure that there are no processes running and then touch the icon that
appears below.
NB: if boiler expansion is enabled, the water loading relay is switched on when the device is switched on and the water discharge
relay is switched on when the device is switched off.
3.2 Power failure
If the power supply is interrupted when the device is switched on or off, when power is restored the device will return to the status
before the interruption.
If the power supply is interrupted during a cooking cycle and the interruption lasts for a shorter time than that set by parameter r1 ,
when power is restored the cycle will be resumed from the start of the phase in which the power failed (if the interruption lasts longer
than the time set by parameter r1 , the cycle will be interrupted when power is restored).
3.3 Silencing the buzzer
To silence the buzzer, proceed as follows.
1. Ensure that no procedure is in progress.
