Ramp Rate ((°C/min)/min) – This is the rate programmed in °C/min per minute
the bake temperature will increase after the initial hold time has expired to the
desired final temperature set point. The temperature can be programmed in
1°C/min to the final temperature set point 1°C/min increments.
Final Temperature (°C) – This is the ending temperature programmed in °C.
The temperature can be programmed from 35°C to the recommended bake
temperature in 1°C increments.
Final Hold Time (min) – The final hold time is not a value to be entered by the
User. The final hold time is the calculated difference of the final bake time taken
from the sum of the initial time and the ramping time needed to achieve the final
temperature.
For Example: Total Bake Time = 10 minutes
Initial Temperature = 200°C
Initial Hold Time = 2 minutes
Ramp Rate = 10°C/min per minute
Final Temperature = 260°C
Final Hold time = 2 minutes.
Explanation: Since it takes 6 minutes to ramp from 200°C to 260°C at a
rate of 10°C/min per minute. The final hold time is calculated to be 2
minutes.
10 minutes – (2 minutes + 6 minutes) = 2 minutes
