The Pause mode can be utilised in several functions
To delay the starting of the appliance (remember that you have 6 phases each
with up to 8 hours of controlled time) so in theory you could use 5 phases,
giving 5 x 8 which = 40 hrs of pause mode (which means only the timer is
operating, no power to elements or fan) then the 6
th
phase could be used to
pre –heat the oven ready for use.
To give a “rest period” within a cooking cycle, for example if cooking a large
Turkey you may select to start the cooking cycle with convection at a higher
than normal cooking temperature to “adhere” the spices to the skin. Then you
may wish to allow the oven temperature to fall slowly so the second phase
could be a pause mode for 10 minutes. The third phase could then be a
combi cycle which then introduces steam into the oven chamber etc.
As a Safety feature at the end of cooking cycles, important when appliances
are installed in “Chain operations” where unskilled young adults are working.
This allows the cooking time for example, Muffins which may take 18 minutes,
the 1
st
cooking phase would be set at 16 minutes and the second phase
would be a pause mode set at 2 minutes.
At the second phase the oven heating elements and fan turn off, as the fan
takes approx. 1
1
/
2
minutes to stop rotating it is still circulating hot air around
the food being cooked thus not affecting the final result.
When the timer goes off and the audible alarm sounds indicating cycle has
ended, when the operator opens the oven door there is no rush of hot air
being blown out as the fan has already stopped.
