RACK ARRANGEMENT
The oven has eleven rack positions and five
racks are furnished with it. Additional racks are
available as optional accessories. The rack ar-
rangement to be used for a cooking run will be
determined by the height of the particular product
being cooked. Thus the racks on which the prod-
uct will be placed may have one, two or more un-
used positions between them. For example,
cookies which have very little height can be
placed on 18 x 26 pans on each of the eleven
rack positions. Turkeys and other roasts with
considerable height would be placed on the
lowest positions (#I) and the half-way position
(#5
or #6).
PREHEAT
Followin are the steps to be followed in pre-
R
heating t e oven.
1.
The proper rack arrangement should be made
for the product to be cooked. (Refer to the
previous section.)
2.
Your oven operates only when the doors are
"
closed. An electric interlock is provided that
de-energizes the blower and the burners
whenever the oven door is opened.
3. Set the thermostat dial to the temperature at
which the product will be cooked. Regarding
the temperature setting, the following Is
suggested. Since the oven chamber opening
is large and loading to capacity necessitates
keeping the doors open longer than Is usual
with standard ovens, temperature drops will
take place. To offset this it Is suggested that
while preheating, before the food is intro-
duced, the dial setting be 50°F hi her than
the temperature at which the foo s will be
cooked.

4.
Set the load control to HI.
6~
5. Turn the Power Switch to "ON".
6.
The slgnal light will come on and stay on
until the set tem erature Is reached. Thls
preheat time is
1
g
mlnutes at a setting of
350°F. The oven should be allowed to cycle
twice before loading for baklng to assure
f@-)
good heat saturation of the oven chamber.
k.
NOTE: Remember to set the thermostat to
desired cooking temperature if a higher
temperature was used to preheat the oven.
7.
Under normal operating conditions, the
blower will continue to operate at all times
when the oven is on, except when the oven
doors are opened.
LOADING
With the oven preheated as noted above, it is
ready to proceed with the cooking.
1.
Open the doors (the fan will stop) and load
quickly. The pans should be centered on the
racks.
2.
When loading has been completed, close the
doors. 'The blower will resume operation. In
all cases, the oven should be loaded as
quickly as possible, keeping the door open
for the shortest possible period.
3. With the food in the oven chamber, reset the
temperature dial setting to what is appropriate
for the particular food product.
4.
Set the load control to the recommended
setting for the product and load to be cooked.
Refer to the Suggested Cooking Chart for
specifics.
5. Set the timer to the suggested time. A ain

timer Is strict1 a mechanical one

CONTR~LS
THE FUNCTION
OF THE
OVEN OR TURNS IT OFF. To insure that it
will ring when the time at which it was set
has elapsed, wind the timer to the maximum
setting. Then back-up to the desired setting
for the product. This will result in spring
tension sufficient to activate the alarm.
6.
When the cook time has elapsed, check for
proper doneness. If the food is done to your
satisfaction unload; if not set for additional
time and cooking as required.
UNLOADING
1.
Since convection ovens are high production
devices, consider the space that will be
needed to accommodate the food to be un-
loaded from the oven.
2.
Unloading should be fast to minimize the
heat loss while the doors are open
-
an
essential practice if consecutive cooking
loads are to be made.
3.
If consecutive loads are to be cooked, it is
suggested the doors be closed between each
load so the oven can recover to the preset
temperature.
