PERATION
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD
In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shut off valve. Immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.
CAUTION
To eliminate gas build up which could result in an explosion, in the even of main burner ignition failure a five
minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.
NOTICE
For an appliance equipped with a convection oven, no attempt should be made to operate oven during a
power failure.
L IGHTING, R ELIGHTING, AND S HUTDOWN I NSTRUCTIONS
To light the oven, just switch the power switch at the top left corner of the control panel to the “ON” position. (The oven is
equipped with a direct hot surface ignition system. There is no pilot to light.)
If the burners fail to ignite within four seconds, the oven will automatically shut off the gas, wait five minutes to allow
the gas that was released to dissipate, and try to light the burners again. If the burners still fail to ignite after three such
attempts, the oven will stop trying, even though the power switch is in the “ON” position. To continue to attempt to light the
burners, turn the power switch “OFF” and then “ON” again.
To shutdown the oven, switch the power switch to the “OFF” position. For a complete shutdown, also open the control
panel and turn the manual shut-off valve to the “OFF” position.
O PERATING THE C ONTROLS
A convection oven is a different type of oven that offers many features and advantages to the food service operation. The
additional capabilities and features of the oven require some learning. However, the operation of the oven is not difficult to
understand or control once you have some practice.
The oven will have one of the two types of control panels:
• Models with Standard Controls are the most similar to a standard (non-convection) oven. Instructions for operating
this type of oven begin on page 21.
• Models with Cycle/Cook and Hold Controls enable you to have the oven automatically enter a “hold mode” after a
timed cooking period. Instructions for operating this type of oven begin on page 23.
