Initial Preheat

Prior to putting any oven into full time operation at normal cooking temperatures, it must be thoroughly dried
out. Moisture absorption in the closed spaces, in the insulation, and even inside the heating elements can	OVEN
cause future trouble if not properly treated.
To “dry out” the oven, set the thermostat to 250°F and turn on the power switch. Allow the unit to cycle at
least 15 minutes at this heat level. Reset the thermostat to 350°F allow the same time. Reset the thermostat
to 450°F and allow the unit to maintain the temperature for a minimum of 4 hours. More time may be	CONVECTION

If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be used, especially
when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
NOTICE: During the first few hours of operation you may notice a small amount of
smoke coming from the oven, and a faint odor from the smoke. This is normal for

General Operation
The convection oven roasts and bakes in shorter time and at lower temperatures with less shrinkage than
conventional commercial ovens.
A blower in the convection oven circulates air within the chamber to heat the entire space evenly and
transfer heat efficiently to the product, even with stacked loading.
The airflow continuously removes the thick layer of moist, cool air that otherwise would surround the
product. When properly loaded and operated, it maintains this airflow throughout the chamber to eliminate
hot spots and roasts or bakes with minimum power consumption at twice the output capacity of a
conventional oven.
The power switch on the lower portion of the control panel energizes the fan motor and activates the
thermostatically controlled circuit for the oven heating elements. When this switch is in the on position, the
red indicator light will illuminate.
Rotating the thermostat control knob from “off” position to selected temperature causes the indicator light
to illuminate and closes the contactor that feeds power to the heating elements. This light will cycle “on
and off” as the thermostat calls for heat in the oven. The blower, however, operates continuously while the
power switch is in the “on” position.
The black knob operates a damper in the oven vent stack. The damper is open when the vent knob is
pulled outward, this will remove moisture from the bake and will provide a dryer bake. Close the vent to
contain the moisture in the bake.
Circuit breakers behind the control panel protect the electrical components from overload. On 208/240V
units the circuit breakers are located in both the range top and oven, 480V units all circuit breakers are in
the oven.
