How to Use a Rational Commercial Oven

The Rational Self Cooking Center not only makes cooking easy, but it also has some helpful features for technicians who service the equipment. Perhaps one of the best features is the machine's ability to offer diagnostic codes. Each code will tell you what's wrong with the oven, allowing you to tackle the issue quicker. Below are lists of certain Rational SCC service codes along with their potential causes and remedies.

Service Codes – SCC whitefficiency

Service Code

Cause

Solution

Service 10

SC pump has high water level

 Drain SC pump hose

Service 11

CDS sensor sending too many pulses

Check for leaking in the level electrode and water path to the steam generator

Service 12

CDS sensor without signal

Check if the CDS sensor's signal is blocked of there is low water pressure

Service 13

Steam generator isn't refilled during steam mode

Check the level electrode's 0-1 signal to the PCB

Service 14

Level electrode isn't recognizing water

Water conductivity is too low and needs reverse osmosis treatment

Service 17

Repair or replace the faulty probe

Service 32.0-1-2

Faulty ignition box:

  • 32.0: Ignition box top
  • 32.1: Ignition box bottom (floor models only)
  • 32.2: Both ignition boxes

Change the ignition box that appears in error code

Service 33.1-2

Faulty ignition box:

  • 31.1: Ignition box bottom (floor models only)
  • 31.2: Both ignition boxes

Check the ignition wiring or ignition box gas valve and supply

Service 34.xx

COMBINATION OF BUS SIGNAL PROBLEMS CAN DISPLAY

See if the bus cable plug and cable connection are connected or damaged

Service 35

Bus signal can't be processed due to disconnected ultravent

Connect the ultravent

Service 36

Defective differential pressure sensor P1

Repair or replace the sensor

Service 37

Differential pressure sensor P1 isn't in expected range

Check the connection of hoses

Service 40

Care pump is broken or doesn't fill enough solution into the steam generator

Check if the hose from the care pump outlet isn't kinked and reset error by completed a successful rinse program

Service 41

Defective solenoid valve Y3, blocked moistening valve or CDS isn't sending pulses

Resolve issue and reset error by completed a successful rinse program

Service 42

Defective solenoid Y4 Care, hose to Care container blocked/kinked or CDS isn't sending pulses

Resolve issue and reset error by completed a successful rinse program

Service 43
