Convection Oven Cooking
If you have a convection oven, reduce your normal recipe temperature by 25°F (-3°C). Cooking time
in a convection oven will vary slightly from your normal recipe time.
Cooking starts immediately in the convection oven. Yeast breads do not usually rise as much in the
convection oven. It is, therefore, usually necessary to allow fuller proof, two-and-a-half to three times
increase in volume for the best results.
When baking pies in your convection oven, put three or four pies on an 18" x 26" (457 mm x 660 mm)
sheet or bun pan. This procedure helps the bottom crust to bake, makes handling easier and reduces
the possibility of boilover, which would spoil the appearance of the pies on the lower racks.
Pies and cobblers, fruit, custard and pumpkin pies in tins should be placed on 18" x 26" x 1"
(457 mm x 660 mm x 25.4 mm) pans for baking.
CLEANING
WARNING: (CONVECTION OVEN MODELS ONLY) DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.
Suggestions for Care and Cleaning
Vulcan equipment is strongly constructed and is designed to give you long, satisfactory service at low
cost, provided you give it proper care. Frequent cleaning and occasional adjusting should reward you
with low operating and maintenance costs and faster, better service.
After cleaning cast-iron tops, any even-heat tops and griddle plates, reseason following the seasoning
procedures described in BEFORE FIRST USE. If your range(s) will be shut down for an extended
period, put a heavy coat of grease on the surface(s).
Open-Top Burners
Daily
Remove grates and clean under and around open burners.
Weekly
1. Clean each burner thoroughly. Clean stainless steel or chromed surfaces with a damp cloth and
polish with a soft dry cloth. A detergent may be used for cleaning. To remove discolorations, use
a nonabrasive cleaner, always rubbing with the grain of the metal.
2. Clean bottom drip pan. To remove drip pan, reach under and lift rear of pan about 1" (25.4 mm),
slide pan to the rear about
1
/2" (12.7 mm) and drop front end of pan free. Slide pan forward between
the front legs. To replace pan, reverse this procedure.
3. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean.
4. Main burner ports must be kept clean. To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye water
for 15-20 minutes, then brush with a wire brush. A coat hanger may be used to clean out particles
in burner ports.
5. Open burner pilot flash tubes and burner ignition port must be clear for burners to ignite properly
from the pilot.
