5. CLEANING YOUR NEW OVEN
• WARNING: Before starting any maintenance or cleaning operation, it is necessary to disconnect
the electrical power supply and wait for your oven to cool down.
5.1 BEFORE USING YOUR NEW OVEN
♦ Clean the metal parts with hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
♦ With cooking cavity empty, heat the oven for about 30 minutes at a temperature of 350°F to “burn it in”.
♦ Never wash the cooking chamber with acids, abrasives, or aggressive detergents.
♦ The oven should never be cleaned with direct water from a hose. Never use anything more powerful than a
spritz bottle to clean your oven, to avoid damaging the electrical components and voiding your warranty.
5.2 CLEANING THE COOKING CAVITY
♦ Make sure to wipe up any and all spills as they occur.
♦ At the end of the day (or as needed), clean the cavity using only proper products.
♦ Never clean the stainless steel with acids, caustic detergents, abrasives or any products containing
chlorine.
♦ The appliance should never be cleaned with direct water from a hose. Never use anything more
powerful than a spritz bottle to clean your oven, to avoid damaging the electrical components and
voiding your warranty.
5.3 CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR OVEN
♦ Wipe up spills, as they occur, with a damp cloth.
♦ Never use a spray of water to clean the outside of your oven. This may damage the electrical
components and void your warranty.
6. TURNING OFF IN CASE OF BREAKDOWN
If you encounter any kind of problem while your oven is in operation, or if you notice anything out of the
ordinary, follow these steps:
♦ Unplug your oven immediately.
♦ Consult BroilKing at 860-738-2200.
Failure to do so may result in a hazardous condition and void your warranty.
1. COOKING MODES
• CONVECTION COOKING
Food products bake in hot, moving air. This moving air removes the cool air barrier between the cool
food being cooked, and the heat of the oven chamber. It also helps your food products to cook evenly and
quickly. Foods cook faster with convection.
• UNIFORM BAKING
This oven is designed to bake evenly on all levels. Please be sure that the oven is preheated to the proper
temperature and the baking recipe has been adjusted to the lower temperature required for convection
oven baking.
2. COOKING VARIABLES
• TEMPERATURE
♦ The exact setting of your oven temperature assures proper cooking of your food, both inside and outside:
Too low – your food cooks too slowly and will dry out.
Too High – your foods burns and cooks unevenly.
♦ If you are new to convection cooking, BroilKing suggests setting your Convection Oven to a
temperature of about 30ºF - 50ºF lower than what you would have set it at in a conventional oven. Let
the food tell you what it needs; if it browns too fast, turn the oven temperature down.
♦ If you experience uneven cooking, the solution is usually as simple as turning the oven temperature
down a few degrees (10ºF – 25ºF).
