Vulcan-Hart Before First Use, Seasoning Oven Models Only, USING THE BROILER Preheating, Grid

When the thermostat is turned on, it provides power to the two 3-heat switches, which in turn, according to their setting, independently turn the top and bottom heating elements on and off. Thus, while the thermostat controls and maintains the oven temperature around the desired set temperature, the 3-heat switches control the rate of temperature build-up.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using for the first time, clean the broiler or oven with detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

Seasoning (Oven Models Only)

Lightly, but thoroughly, coat the oven steel deck with cooking oil and allow it to season in the oven at 450°F (232°C) for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This seasoning will lessen sticking of spillage and inhibit rust.

USING THE BROILER

Preheating

At full input, the elements will heat to broiling radiance in approximately 5 minutes. The broiler will saturate for full loading in 10 to 15 minutes at full input.

Grid

The grid is the V bar type, which permits easy scraping with a steak turner during operation. Drippings from the broiling food go through the grid onto the drip shield and into the grease collector.

Grease Collector

The grease collector collects grease and waste which is diverted by the tilt of the drip shield. DO NOT allow the grease collector to overflow. The grease collector should be emptied when three-quarters full to reduce the possibility of spillage.

USING THE OVEN

Preheating

Set top and bottom 3-heat switches to HIGH. Set thermostat to desired baking temperature. The indicator light will light and remain lit until the oven reaches temperature. The oven may be loaded when the indicator light goes off the first time; however, it is desirable to allow the indicator light to go on and off at least twice so the oven is thoroughly heated and will brown baked products evenly. After the first cycle (oven indicator light on and off), set the 3-heat switches as desired for baking. (Refer to TIME, TEMPERATURE & SWITCH SETTING CHART FOR BAKING.)
