MINICHEF® 2000 Temperature Controller and Timer
Multiple Controllers in One Pre-programmed Cooking Computer Handle All Cooking Applications
MINICHEF® 2000 is an industry first in on-off or PID configurable temperature/time and machine-function controllers. This cooking computer is pre-programmed for multiple applications and ready to be installed. The food equipment industry can now rely on one product to provide control for many cooking devices including cook and hold ovens, convection ovens, deep-fat fryers, griddles and rotisseries. OEMs can easily switch the controller from one application to another or customize it to fit different applications by pressing a combination of keys.
MINICHEF 2000 withstands the rigorous conditions of a kitchen environment with an 80°C (176°F) ambient rating and superior immunity to electrical interference. This cooking computer/controller is tested to CE, UL®, C-UL®, CSA, NSF and AGA standards.
