Delivery and Location
OVEN LOCATION

The well-planned and proper placement of your oven will result in long-term operator convenience and satisfactory performance.
Be sure to place the oven in an area that is accessible for proper operation and servicing.
It is essential that ventilation air not be obstructed in any way if the proper operation is to be assured. A minimum of two inches (5 cm) must be maintained between both the sides and the rear of the unit and any wall.

Electrical Connection

Ovens are supplied for operation on 208 volts or 220-240 volt installation. The thermostat, indicator light, and related switches are interconnected through one power source supplied to the oven.
Before making any connection to this oven, check the rating plate attached to the body back to assure that the voltage, phase, and KW rating are compatible with the electrical supply. See diagram.
All ovens, when installed, must be connected and electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-Latest Edition, and/or Canadian Electric Code CSA C22.1 as applicable. Wiring diagrams are located on the body back.
The supply conduit enters through the rear of the oven and an electrical connection is made to the terminal block secured to the panel at the back of the control compartment. Electrical connection sizes for a double 1400 oven are shown in the “Electrical Connection AWG” column of the Electrical Specifications found on page 2 of this manual. The wiring is sized for 75_C copper wire at 125% of rated input. Reference is from the National Electric Code ANSI/ NFPA 70- Latest Edition.

Maintenance

Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance

  1. Allow the oven to cool.
  2. Saturate a cloth with mineral oil and wipe the oven.
  3. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Baked-on splatter on the stainless exterior may be removed with any non-toxic stainless steel cleaner:

  1. Follow the directions on your cleaning agent.
  2. Apply with a cloth, rubbing with the grain of the metal.

**CAUTION!!
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning cloths as this will scratch the finish of the stainless steel.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Deck Surface**

  1. Place the crumb tray on the oven door. See Figure 7.
  2. Using a scraper/brush (Figure 8), scrape the decks to remove the baked-on splatter.
  3. Using the brush, clean the deck until smooth.
  4. Using a damp cloth, lightly wipe down the surface of the deck.

**CAUTION!!
Stones must be at room temperature.
CAUTION!!**
Excessive water will be absorbed into the stone and the risk of cracking may result. In the event of water absorption, see Deck Stone Dry-Out Procedure on the following page to avoid cracking.

Oil Spills
If oil spills on deck, DO NOT WIPE:

  1. Pour Kosher salt on the spill.
  2. Allow absorbing.

Follow steps 1-4 under Deck Surface to remove the Kosher salt residue.

Maintenance

Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance

Interior Walls
The aluminized surface may be kept clean and in good condition with mineral oil:

  1. Allow the oven to cool.
  2. Large amounts of baked-on splatter may be removed with a brass scraper, and gently applied.
  3. Saturate a cloth with mineral oil and wipe the oven.
  4. Mild dish detergent and water may also be used to clean the interior walls but be careful not to spill water on the stone decks.
  5. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
  6. Remove residue from beneath the oven door with a small brush.

CAUTION!!
DO NOT use caustic solutions such as ammonia, lye or soda ash. DO NOT use domestic oven cleaners. Any of these products will damage the aluminum coating.
Deck Stone Dry-Out Procedure
If excess water is absorbed by the stone and then quickly heated, the boiling water expands and may crack the stone. To prevent cracking perform one of the following dry-out procedures:

  1. Dry stones overnight at room temperature with the door open.
  2. Set oven to 150ºF for 2 hours to slowly dry out the stone.

WEEKLY CLEANING

  • Brush out the control area.
  • In addition to the daily cleaning, it is necessary to clean the air intake on a weekly basis. Air intakes provide necessary cooling air to the internal components. They are generally located on the rear and sides of the equipment.

6 MONTH CLEANING

  • Clean secondary air ducts and air entry ports.
