EXPLOSION HAZARD

In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shut off valve. Immediately call
the emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
! CAUTION
To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the e vent of main burner ignition
failure a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-esta blishing ignition source.
NOTICE
For an appliance equipped with a convection oven, no attempt should be m ade to operate oven
during a power failure.

LIGHTING, RELIGHTING, AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

To light the oven, just 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. T here is no pilot to light.)
If the burners fail to ignite within four seconds, the oven will aut omatically 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 f ail to
ignite after three such attempts, the oven will stop trying, even though t he 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” positi on. For a complete shutdown, also open
the control panel and turn the manual shut-off valve to the “OFF” positi on.

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 ov en require some learning. However, the
operation of the oven is not difficult to understand or control once you have some practice.
The oven will have one of the four types of control panels:
• Models with Standard Controls are the most similar to a standard (non-convection) oven. Instructions
for operating this type of oven begin on page 24.
• Models with Cycle/Cook and Hold Controls enable you to have the oven automatically enter a “hold
mode” after a timed cooking period. Instructions for operating this type of oven begin on page 26.
• Models with Programmable Controls enable you to have the oven change temperature and other
settings while cooking, then optionally enter a “hold mode.” You can recor d up to five “cook programs”
which can then be re-used later. Instructions for operating this t ype of oven begin on page 29.
• Models with Rack Timer Controls provide five separate timers that independent ly time the cooking of
food on each rack of the oven. The oven will tell you which rack will finish cooking next, and how much
time remains. Instructions for operating this type of oven begin o n page 32.
