PREHEATING
Standard Oven
Turn thermostat control to the desired cooking temperature and preheat oven for 25 minutes. To save on gas
consumption, do not operate oven at maximum heat when it is not necessary. Turn thermostat down to 250°F
(121°C) or OFF when oven is not in use or during idle cooking periods.
Convection Oven (90 Series Only)
With power switch in the ON position, turn oven thermostat knob to the proper cooking temperature and allow
oven to preheat for 15 minutes. To save on gas and electrical consumption, turn thermostat to one-half the
cooking temperature or completely OFF during idle cooking periods.
Hot Top Burners
Turn burner ON to highest heat to heat hot top section quickly. Hot top will be ready to cook on in about 10
minutes. After top section has reached operation temperature, turn some of the burners down. You will save as
much as 80% of gas consumption and notice very little difference in cooking performance as long as you have
allowed the entire hot top section to preheat properly.
Open Top Burners
Open top burners ignite quickly and do not require any preheating time. When food comes to a rolling boil, cut
back to slower boil to conserve energy, yet continue boiling. Turn burners ON only when in use.
Broiler/Griddle
Turn the three manual gas valve knobs to full ON. After preheating for 5 minutes, turn valves down until desired
flame or heating level is achieved. Position the removable broiler grid into one of the two slide positions,
depending on which will achieve the proper product results.
LOADING AND UNLOADING STANDARD AND CONVECTION OVENS
WARNING: WHEN USING CONVECTION OVENS, DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE OVEN
WHILE OPENING THE OVEN DOOR. ALTHOUGH OPENING THE OVEN DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY
SHUT THE FAN OFF, SOME HEAT ESCAPES. STEP AWAY TO AVOID HOT AIR.
Open the door and load as quickly as practical to conserve heat. Take care to avoid spilling liquids while loading.
Close the door and refer to recipe for cooking time.
Provide adequate space for product unloading. Rapid unloading will conserve heat and reduce preheating for
the next load.
