• TIME
♦ The higher the temperature, the quicker your foods will get done and the more shrinkage you will realize.
♦ The quicker foods cook, the more moisture they tend to lose (especially protein products).
♦ Most bakery products can withstand higher temperatures better than protein products.
• HUMIDITY
The more humidity in the cooking cavity, the harder it will be for your food products to brown.
• QUANTITY OF FOOD
♦ One piece of chicken will take less time to cook than 2 or 3 pans of chicken. That’s “Mother Nature”
pure and simple. Convection cooking is fantastic, but it’s NOT magic.
♦ Overloading the oven can result in uneven cooking.
• Avoid placing baked goods touching each other on the pan before baking.
3. USE OF WIRE GRIDS AND SHEET PANS
• It is recommended to use wire grids for meat items. This will elevate your food items and allow air to
circulate all around during the cooking process. Place your wire rack in a sheet pan to collect the juice.
This also reduces clean-up time.
• Use sheet pans for bakery items such as pastries, bread and rolls, and cookies. Shallow sides on a pan or
bake sheet will enhance the air flow to your foods.
IV. MAINTENANCE 1. ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
• All maintenance operations must be done only by trained qualified personnel.
• Before starting any maintenance operation, disconnect your oven from the electrical power supply and
wait for it to cool down.
• The parts that need ordinary maintenance can be reached by removing the front control panel and the
back of the oven.
2. SPECIAL MAINTENANCE
• All maintenance operations must be done only by trained qualified personnel.
• Before starting any maintenance operation, disconnect your oven from the electrical power supply and
wait for it to cool down.
2.1 REPLACEMENT OF INTERNAL LAMP
To replace the internal lamp:
• Disconnect your oven from the power supply system and let it cool down.
• Remove the side rails.
• Unscrew the glass cover and replace the lamp with an identical bulb.
• Screw the glass cover back on.
• Reassemble the side rails.
2.2 RESET THE SAFETY THERMOSTAT
• This oven is equipped with a manually resettable safety thermostat designed to protect the oven against
overheating. If this occurs, it completely deactivates the oven to avoid permanent damage.
• To reset the safety thermostat, remove the black cap positioned at the bottom
of the back of the oven by unscrewing it counterclockwise, push the reset
button under the cap, and replace the black cap.
• If the safety thermostat shuts your oven off, before turning your oven back on,
be sure to check your entire circuit to verify that the total amps being drawn by
all the appliances, lights, etc. on that circuit do not exceed the amps available
on that circuit.
