I. INSTRUCTION FOR THE INSTALLER Congratulations! You have just purchased a new Cadco LineChefTM Manual Convection Oven. Let’s go over some of the basics before you start using your new oven. 1. DATA PLATE 2. CERTIFICATION 2.1 The “CSA” mark on our data labels and on our user manual refers to the following listings: Certifications are listed under UNOX S.p.A.
. INSTALLATION 4.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION • Connection to the electrical power source must be done according to all state and local codes. Before connecting your oven, make sure that the voltage and the amps comply with those stated on the data plate of your oven. Avoid using patch cords and multiple jacks. • The appliance must be placed so that the connection plug to the outlet can be easily reached.
3.2 TEMPERATURE DIAL • The cooking temperature inside the cooking chamber is set by the temperature knob (if you’re facing the oven, it is the dial on the right side of the control panel). • Turn the dial clockwise and set your desired temperature. At this time the green pilot light, located just to the right of the temperature dial will turn on. This indicates that the oven is preheating. • Always preheat oven before placing food into it.
♦ Choux, the product will gain in volume. Moisture also makes the heat seem hotter (similar to a humid day) and products may cook a little faster. 2. COOKING VARIABLES • TEMPERATURE ♦ The exact setting of your oven temperature assures proper cooking of your food, both inside and outside: Too low – your food cooks too slowly and will dry out. Too High – your foods burns and cooks unevenly.
2.2 RESET THE SAFETY THERMOSTAT • This oven is equipped with a manually resettable safety thermostat designed to protect the oven against overheating. If there is an intervention, it completely deactivates the oven to avoid permanent damage. • To reset this device, remove the black cap positioned to the bottom of the back of the oven by unscrewing it counterclockwise, push the reset button under the cap, and replace the black cap.
VI. Remove & Reattach Oven Door Open door completely as in Fig. 1 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Using a screw driver or other object, swing door safety lock down as shown in Figs 2 – 3 – 4 Fig. 4 Fig. 3 With door completely down and door safety lock in its down position, move door in a closing direction until door safety lock stops the closing action as in Fig. 5. ~~~~~~~~ Hold door as shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 6 Fig. 5 Slightly lift and swing door out of unit as shown in Figs. 7 & 8 Fig. 8 Fig.
VII. COOKING GUIDE The first and most important step will be: Have your new oven hooked up to the proper power and (if applicable) water source. If there is any doubt about the proper power or the connections, have the oven installed by a qualified electrician according to your local codes. Use this cooking guide to help determine which time and temperature works best for your specific food items. If your specific product isn’t addressed, you will probably find something similar.
• Cookies Baking Temperature One of the most common items baked in your Cadco Convection Oven will be cookies. There are dozens of cookie manufacturers, and their products all have different baking characteristics. Most of the cookie recipes suggest a baking temperature of 325º - 350ºF. I have found that “Lower is better”. Over the years we have found that cookies bake best in a preheated oven at about 285º - 300ºF, assuming a 1.5 ounce cookie from refrigerated/frozen dough.
• Muffins ♦ 15 minutes at 325ºF/ 20% humidity works well for most standard size muffins. ♦ For jumbo muffins set the oven temp at 300ºF/ 20% humidity and bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. ♦ The more dense your batter is the longer your muffins will take to bake. • Biscuits For the test we used a basic baking powder biscuit about 3” in diameter. Bake at 350ºF for 10-12 minutes. Some suggestions: ♦ A simple glaze can be made of powdered sugar and water.
• “Oven Fried” Chicken Let’s say that you want to serve fried chicken in your food service operation but you don't want all of the problems associated with a chicken program. You don't want to deal with an expensive breading program, the high insurance costs, constantly buying oil, employee training, the dangerous cleaning/filtering of French fryers, and the high cost of purchasing equipment. Cadco has the answer: how about "Oven Fried" chicken.
• Rare Roast Beef ♦ Rare beef is considered by most people to be 130ºF. ♦ The USDA states that full muscle beef when roasted to an internal temperature of 130ºF and maintained at that temperature for 121 minutes is considered safe to eat. ♦ Overnight roasting requires a roast that is 7 pounds or larger. ♦ Seasonings will penetrate the roast about 1/4” deep.
