Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for manufacturing a device, comprising: a plurality of temperature regulators each of which is configured to regulate a temperature of a component associated with manufacture of the device; a controller configured to control the plurality of temperature regulators; and a console configured to send command information to the controller upon receiving an input regarding start of an electric power saving mode of the plurality of temperature regulators, the command information including a parameter which specifies one of a plurality of electric power saving mode settings each of which is set in advance for the plurality of temperature regulators, and a command for causing the plurality of temperature regulators to operate in one of the plurality of electric power saving mode settings, which is selected by the parameter, the console being configured to provide a user interface to determine the parameter in accordance with input from the user interface, the console being configured such that the plurality of electric power saving mode settings are set, in accordance with input from the user interface, to be different from each other in at least one of i) a temperature regulator, to be shifted to an electric power saving state, of the plurality of temperature regulators, ii) whether temperature regulation by a temperature regulator, to be shifted to an electric power saving state, of the plurality of temperature regulators stops, and iii) whether a target temperature of temperature regulation by a temperature regulator, to be shifted to an electric power saving state, of the plurality of temperature regulators is changed.
