BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the oven for the first time, it must be "burned in" to release any odors that might result from
heating the new surfaces in the chamber.
1. Using a clean damp cloth, wipe the inside of the oven, including the racks.
2. Close the oven door, push the ON / OFF / COOL DOWN switch ON, turn the thermostat to 300°F
(149°C) and allow the oven to cycle for 6 to 8 hours before turning the ON / OFF / COOL DOWN
switch OFF.
USING THE HGC20D OVEN
Preheating
1. Push ON / OFF / COOL DOWN switch ON. The HEAT light will come on, indicating that power
to the oven is on.
2. Set the THERMOSTAT as desired. Refer to SUGGESTED COOKING GUIDELINES for
temperatures and times.
3. Prepare product and place in suitable pans. When READY light comes on, oven has reached
desired preheat temperature.
Cooking
1. Open the door and load the product into the oven. Place pans in the center of the racks. Close
the door.
2. Set COOK temperature and time. Set HOLD temperature and PULSE time, if desired. PULSE
time may not be more than COOK time. PULSE will cycle the fan during the set time at the
beginning of the cook cycle.
3. Press the START / STOP button to start the cooking cycle.
4. At the end of the cooking cycle, the buzzer will sound continuously if the HOLD mode is OFF. If
the HOLD mode is ON, there will be a short beep at the beginning of Second Stage Cooking (oven
temperature will begin to decline to the HOLD temperature), and a long beep (20 seconds) at the
end of the cooking cycle. Refer to COOK AND HOLD OPERATION.
5. When product is done, open the door and carefully remove cooked product from the oven. Wipe
up any spills.
End of Day
1. Push ON / OFF / COOL DOWN switch to COOL DOWN. Leave door ajar while the fan is on to
cool the oven.
2. When the oven has cooled sufficiently, push the ON / OFF / COOL DOWN switch OFF and clean
the oven.
