LOW TEMP ALARM OPERATION
Unit has a built in “Low Temp Alarm”, allowing the operator to have
an audible and a visual indicator that the heated cabinet
temperature falls below the "Low Temperature" set point for more
than two (2) minutes.
1) Adjust Set Point: Press and hold “Low Temp Alarm” for six (6)
seconds. Rotate dial to desired set point between “ " and from
90°F (32°C) and 190°F (88°C). Display will beep and show "LTA"
for two (2) seconds release button to accept adjustment. When the
internal cabinet temperature falls below the desired "Set Point" for
more than two (2) minutes, the audible and visual alarm will alert
you to this condition.
2) Recall Set Point: Press "LOW TEMP ALARM" key.
Display shows LTA set point for three seconds then reverts to
normal display.
3) Acknowledge: Press any key to cancel beeping
For Every ten (10) seconds, the display will show LTA for one (1)
second until temperature increases above LTA set point.
Note: The Low Temp alarm will auto-reset once Oven Setpoint is
reached again. The idea is if the user has perhaps left the door
open, the LTA alarm sounds to remind them to close it, with the user
pressing either key to stop the beeping. Once the door is closed and
the oven temperature rises again to oven setpoint, the control
re-enables the LTA alarm in case the user fails to close the door
again.
4) Disable: Follow the adjustment steps above.
A rotation of the dial "down" below 90°F (32°C) turns the alarm
feature off.
