LIGHTING THE HGC20 OVEN
Open the manual valve. Turn the ON / OFF / COOL DOWN switch ON and turn the thermostat to its
maximum setting. Both the ON and HEAT lights should be lit. If the HEAT light is not on, make sure
the door is closed.
After 5 seconds, the spark ignition system will initiate and the solenoid valve will open, allowing gas
flow to the burner for a period of 7 seconds. This 5 second purge and 7 second ignition trial will repeat
itself up to two more times if the burner does not light within the first 7 second ignition trial. During the
5 second prepurge, the red NO IGNITION light will be lit.
When the burner gas ignites, a slight "roar" will be audible. This "roar" is a normal condition of the power
burner, and will become almost undetectable in the normal operating mode after warm-up. The NO
IGNITION light will go off when ignition occurs.
If the burner fails to light after three trials, the red NO IGNITION light will be illuminated and remain on.
Turn the ON / OFF /COOL DOWN switch to OFF for five minutes before repeating the operating
sequence listed above.
If burners do not light after five trials, turn off the manual valve and call your local Hobart service office.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before the oven is used for the first time, it must be "burned in" to release any odors that might result
from heating the new surfaces in the chamber.
Using a clean damp cloth, wipe the inside of the oven, including the racks.
Close the oven door, turn 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 switch OFF.
