PROPER UTENSILS
The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and lightweight pans allow the product to warm faster. Roast meats in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices yet allow free air circulation.

OPERATING HINTS

  • When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness periodically before the suggested time has elapsed, to make sure the desired doneness is achieved.
  • Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide consistent, repeatable results.
  • The convection oven is faster than conventional deck-type ovens; temperature settings are lower and cook times are shorter. Since recipes and foods are subject to many variations and tastes, the guidelines regarding Times and
  • Temperatures in this manual are SUGGESTIONS ONLY. Experiment with your food products to determine the cooking temperatures and times that give you the best results.

COOK AND HOLD OPERATION
Cook and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage of Cooking, the oven temperature is regulated by the Cook thermostat for the amount of time set on the Timer. After the lapsed time counts down to 00:00, the Second Stage of Cooking begins. During the Second Stage of Cooking, the heating elements are off as the temperature in the oven declines to the Hold Temperature. The doors should remain closed during Second Stage Cooking.
When the Hold temperature is reached, cooking is done. The Time Display counts up the Hold time and flashes “Hold.” Temperature in the oven will be maintained at the Hold temperature until the oven is turned off.

CLEANING

WARNING : TURN THE OVEN OFF AND DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.
Clean the outside of the oven daily by wiping it with a clean damp cloth.
Clean the porcelain oven interior daily with soap or detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

Optional Stainless Steel Oven Interior
Soap or detergent and water usually handle routine cleaning. Rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft clean cloth.
For burned-on foods and grease that resist simple soap and water cleaning, an abrasive cleanser (scouring powder) mixed into a paste may be used. Apply with stainless steel wool or sponge, always rubbing with the “grain.”
This treatment is equally effective for “heat tint” (slightly darkened areas caused by oxidation). Again, remember to rub in the direction of the polish lines. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft cloth.

POWER OUTAGE
In case of a power outage, the oven will automatically shut down. When power is restored to the lines, the oven will resume its normal operation. However, if the oven is to be left unattended during a power outage, push the master switch to the OFF position. When power is restored to the lines, push the master switch to the ON position, wait for the oven to preheat, then resume normal cooking operations.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING : TURN OVEN OFF AND UNPLUG THE POWER SUPPLY CORD BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
The fan motor comes with sealed bearings and requires no lubrication.
Annually check the flue, when cool, to be sure it is free of obstructions.

REPLACING LAMPS

  • Allow oven to cool.
  • Remove all racks by pulling forward, lifting up, and out.
  • Remove the right rack support by lifting it up.
  • Unscrew the glass dome(s) from the light body.
  • Replace the bulb(s).
  • Reassemble glass dome(s), rack support, and racks by reversing the disassembly procedure.
