Working Instructions & Operation

Lighting, Relighting, and Shutdown Instructions

• To light the oven, switch the power switch at the top left corner of the control panel to the “ON” position. (The oven is equipped with a direct hot surface ignition system. There is no pilot to light.)
• If the burners fail to ignite within four seconds, the oven will automatically shut off the gas, wait five minutes to allow the gas that was released to dissipate, and try to light the burners again. If the burners still fail to ignite after three such attempts, the oven will stop trying, even though the power switch is in the “ON” position. To continue to attempt to light the burners, turn the power switch “OFF” and then “ON” again.
• To shutdown the oven, switch the power switch to the “OFF“ position. For a complete shutdown, also open the control panel and turn the manual shut-off valve to the “OFF” position.

Operating the Controls
A convection oven is a different type of oven that offers many features and advantages to the food service operation. The additional capabilities and features of the oven require some learning. However, the operation of the oven is not difficult to understand or control once you have some practice. See the controls in the following feature:

Operation

Turn the oven ON and select a cooking temperature. Two additional controls are used to control the fan (as described below). The timer is a reminder to you of when to remove food from the oven. The timer does not control the temperature of the oven.

To cook, do the following:

1. Turn the oven ON using the Power Switch at the top of the control panel.
2. Select the desired fan speed using the Fan Speed switch. The appropriate fan speed (HI or LOW) depends on the type of food being cooked.
3. Switch the Fan Mode switch to COOK. The fan will run continuously when the oven doors are closed (the fan does not cycle on and off with the burners). (If this switch is set to COOL, the only difference is that the fan will continue to run when the oven doors are open.)
4. Set the cooking temperature by turning the Cook Temperature Control until the indicator mark on the knob is pointed to desired cooking temperature. The HEAT ON indicator will light when the burners are on and will remain on while the oven preheats.
5. Wait until the HEAT ON indicator has come on and gone out three times. At that time the oven will have reached the set cooking temperature.
6. Open the oven doors, load the product into the oven, and close the doors.
7. You can use the Cook Timer as a reminder of when to remove the load from the oven. If so desired, turn the Cook Timer knob until the indicator mark points to the desired cooking time (up to 55 minutes). The timer knob will rotate counterclockwise as the timer runs down, indicating how much time remains. You can turn the knob while cooking to increase or decrease the remaining time. When the timer runs out, a buzzer will sound for a short time, then turn itself off. (To immediately silence the buzzer, turn the Cook Timer knob to the OFF position.) The timer is a reminder to you; the timer does not control the oven. If you open the oven doors, the burners and fan will shut off until the doors are closed. However, the timer will continue running even if the doors are open. For ovens that are equipped with an oven interior light, to turn on the light, press and hold the switch located at the bottom of the control panel.

29Y-048 timer instructions:

1. If the set time is ≥ 5 minutes, rotate it clockwise to the required set time;
2. If the set time is ＜5 minutes, rotate it clockwise to the position indicating 5 minutes or a little more than 5 minutes, and then rotate it counterclockwise to the required set time.

Cooling down the oven:
Step 1: Turn the thermostat to minimum.
Step 2: Open the door then switch to COOL mode ,the fan will run to cool down the oven. For the most rapid cooling, switch the Fan Speed to HI.
Step 3: When the oven has cooled sufficiently, turn the switch to COOK Mode for the next cooking.

Caution : Please follow the upper steps to cool down the oven to avoid scalding.

When finished cooking, turn the Cook Temperature Control to the lowest setting (fully counterclockwise) and switch the Power Switch to OFF.

Steel surfaces must be cleaned with a dish washer detergent diluted in very hot water by using a soft cloth; for the toughest dirt, use ethylic alcohol, acetone or another non-halogenated solvent; do not use abrasive powder detergents or corrosive substances such as hydrochloric acid, muriatic or sulphuric acid. The use of acids can affect the unit’s operation and safety. Do not use brushes, steel cottons or abrasive disks made with other metals or alloys that might cause rust stains due to contamination. For the same reason, avoid contact with iron objects. Do not use steel cottons or stainless-steel brushes as they can cause damaging scratches to the oven.
4. Metal powder, metal shavings from working and iron material in general, when in contact with stainless steel surfaces, can cause rust stains. Superficial rust stain might be present on new appliances, and they can be removed with a detergent diluted in water and a Scotch Brite sponge. If dirt is tough, do not use sandpaper or rough paper, but use synthetic sponges.
5. Do not use substances for cleaning silver and be careful with hydrochloric or sulphuric vapors coming from floor washing products
6. Do not aim water jets directly on the appliance, it might be damaged. After cleaning, rinse properly with clean water and dry carefully with a cloth.
7. The appliances are made in a way that little maintenance is necessary. Despite this, we recommend that the user subscribes to a maintenance agreement to have the appliance checked at least once a year by the specialized personnel of our assistance service or by a specialized technician.
8. Before carrying out any maintenance or repair, disconnect the appliance from the gas network or cut off the main supply. Use only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer.
9. If the appliance is not used for long period of time, please clean the equipment and the surrounding areas properly. Pour a small quantity of cooking oil on the stainless steel surfaces. Carry out all maintenance operations. Cover all appliances with a suitable material and leave a few openings to allow air to circulate.
