Vulcan-Hart GH, ML-52168 Convection Oven Cooking, Suggestions for Care and Cleaning, Weekly

Convection Oven Cooking

If you have a convection oven, reduce your normal recipe temperature by 25°F (-3°C). Cooking time in a convection oven will vary slightly from your normal recipe time.

Cooking starts immediately in the convection oven. Yeast breads do not usually rise as much in the convection oven. It is, therefore, usually necessary to allow fuller proof, two-and-a-half to three times increase in volume for the best results.

When baking pies in your convection oven, put three or four pies on an 18" x 26" (457 mm x 660 mm) sheet or bun pan. This procedure helps the bottom crust to bake, makes handling easier and reduces the possibility of boilover, which would spoil the appearance of the pies on the lower racks.

Pies and cobblers, fruit, custard and pumpkin pies in tins should be placed on 18" x 26" x 1" (457 mm x 660 mm x 25.4 mm) pans for baking.

CLEANING

WARNING: (CONVECTION OVEN MODELS ONLY) DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.

Suggestions for Care and Cleaning

Vulcan equipment is strongly constructed and is designed to give you long, satisfactory service at low cost, provided you give it proper care. Frequent cleaning and occasional adjusting should reward you with low operating and maintenance costs and faster, better service.

After cleaning cast-iron tops, any even-heat tops and griddle plates, reseason following the seasoning procedures described in BEFORE FIRST USE. If your range(s) will be shut down for an extended period, put a heavy coat of grease on the surface(s).

Open-Top Burners

Daily

Remove grates and clean under and around open burners.

Weekly

1.Clean each burner thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. A detergent may be used for cleaning. To remove discolorations, use a nonabrasive cleaner, always rubbing with the grain of the metal.

2.Clean bottom drip pan. To remove drip pan, reach under and lift rear of pan about 1" (25.4 mm), slide pan to the rear about 1/2" (12.7 mm) and drop front end of pan free. Slide pan forward between the front legs. To replace pan, reverse this procedure.

3.Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.

4.Main burner ports must be kept clean. To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye water for 15-20 minutes, then brush with a wire brush. A coat hanger may be used to clean out particles in burner ports.

5.Open burner pilot flash tubes and burner ignition port must be clear for burners to ignite properly from the pilot.
