Convection Oven with Standing Pilot
1. To light the oven pilot, close the door. Push the oven control knob in and turn the knob to the
P pilot position. With the oven control knob remaining depressed, ignite the oven pilot. Continue
to depress the oven control knob for 1 minute or until pilot remains lit. Once the pilot ignites,
release the oven control knob. Push the power switch ON. Turn the oven temperature dial to
desired setting. If ignition fails, push the power switch and oven control knob OFF, wait 5 minutes
and repeat the above procedure.
2. For temporary shut down, push the power switch OFF(I), depress and turn the oven control
knob to P pilot position.
3. For extended shut down, push the power switch to OFF(I), depress and turn the oven control
knob to the OFF position.
Note: The pilot is accessible for lighting through the lower burner box area. Before proceeding with
the lighting instruction drop kick panel down. Use the rectangular opening in burner box to gain
access to the pilot for lighting.
OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
Open-Top Ranges
Open-top ranges are quickly lighted and require no preheating time. Light only as many burners as
needed.
Open top burners have a wide low to high burner flame adjustment range. This allows for better
simmering performance at the lowest possible stabilized setting. When simmering, turn the burner
valve knob down until you reach the optimum lowest burner flame setting to maintain the desired
simmer point.
Griddle Top Ranges
Heat top thoroughly before using. The top can be kept hot with burners turned partially down. During
off periods, turn the burners down or heat only half the top.
Standard Oven Cooking
Allow time to preheat ovens before using (25 minutes to 400°F [204°C]). The oven thermostat
regulates temperature from a low setting at approximately 300°F (149°C) to high setting at
approximately 550°F (288°C). If properly used, the automatic temperature control will cut gas and
food costs. Do not turn on maximum heat all the time. Turn thermostat down to LOW when oven is
idling, or turn the oven control to "P" when not in use.
This oven gives you double capacity because you can do pan work on both shelves. If you are
cooking high roasts, the entire height of the oven can be utilized by removing a rack(s) and placing
roast pan directly on the insulated oven bottom.
Moderate oven temperatures will produce better food, reduce shrinkage and keep maintenance
costs down. Using a low temperature for roasting (recommended 325°F [162°C] or lower) will
reduce meat costs by reducing shrinkage.
A pan of water (approximately 12" x 20" x 1" [305 mm x 508 mm x 25.4 mm]) may be placed in the
oven bottom. This water supplies humidity to reduce shrinkage. If necessary, add water during
roasting.
