MARATHONER GOLD & SILVERSTAR GAS CONVECTION OVENS | OPERATION |
Operation of Models with PROGRAMMABLE Controls
Models with Programmable Controls can follow a recorded sequence of timed cooking periods, with an option of the last period being an indefinite hold time. Each time period begins with an “event” that specifies what conditions will be maintained during the period that follows.
To cook WITHOUT using a recorded cook program, do the following:
1.Turn the oven ON using the Power Switch at the top of the control panel.
2.Set the cooking temperature by turning the Temperature Knob. The setting appears in the top right corner of the control panel display. The displayed temperature will flash while the oven preheats.
3.Select the desired fan speed during cooking by pressing the Cook Hi/Lo Fan button. The setting (COOK for high fan speed or ROAST for low fan speed) appears in the control panel display just below the temperature setting. The appropriate fan speed depends on the type of food being cooked.
4.Select the desired fan mode by pressing the Fan Cont/Cyc button. The setting appears in the control panel display just below the fan speed setting. In continuous mode (CONT), the fan will run when the power switch is ON and the doors are closed. In cycle mode (CYCLE), the fan will run only when the doors are closed and the burners are operating.
5.Turn the Time knob until the desired cooking time appears on the control panel display.
6.If you want the oven to enter Hold Mode after the timed cook period, press the Hold button. The Hold indicator (the word “HOLD” in the control panel window) will appear. Turn the Temperature knob until the desired holding temperature is displayed. Select a fan mode for the hold time by pressing the Fan Cont/Cyc button (as you did for the cook time in Step 4). The fan speed is always low during Hold Mode. Note that when Hold Mode starts the actual oven temperature will not immediately drop to the holding temperature since it takes time for the oven interior and the load itself to cool.
!CAUTION
Care should be exercised in holding products over extended periods of time or at very low holding temperatures, due to possible bacteria growth. A competent authority on food bacteria growth should be consulted if there is doubt regarding safe holding times and temperatures.
7.Wait until the oven has reached cooking temperature (when it does, the temperature display will stop flashing and the oven will “beep” once).
8.Open the oven doors and insert a load into the oven. Close the doors and press the Start Timer button. The time display will start to count down the remaining cook time.
If you open the oven doors, the fan and burners will temporarily shut off, and the time display will pause until the oven doors are closed again.
To turn on the oven interior light, press and hold the switch located at the bottom of the control panel. During the cook time you can start or stop having the fan cycle
If necessary, you can adjust the remaining cooking time and/or oven temperature using the corresponding control knobs. You can also disable or enable Hold Mode.
To cancel a
9.What happens when the cook time runs out depends on whether Hold Mode is enabled.
•If Hold Mode IS NOT enabled, the oven will start “beeping” and the time display will flash “:00”. Press the Cancel button to silence the alarm. Promptly remove the load from the oven OR open and leave open the oven doors. If the oven doors are shut, the oven will maintain the set cook temperature. To rapidly cool down the load, open the doors, switch the Fan Mode switch to COOL, and switch the Fan Speed switch to high (COOK).
•If Hold Mode IS enabled, the oven will beep for 2 or 3 seconds to alert you that the cook time has completed. The time display will start counting up to indicate how long the load has been in Hold Mode. Later, after removing the load, press the Cancel button. The oven will then heat up to the specified cook temperature in anticipation of the next load to be cooked.
