Ovens
New ovens require a burn off period to break in the oven and eliminate unappetizing odors from
penetrating the food product. These odors are typically from curing of the porcelain enamel oven
cavity parts.
Turn on unit gas and set the thermostat to 475°F (246°C). Allow the oven to operate at this
temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.
NOTE: Under normal operation, the backsplasher and shelf will become hot to touch.
