Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your oven will result in many years of satisfactory performance. It is suggested that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.
INSTALLATION Before installing, verify that the electrical service and type of gas supply (natural or L.P. gases) agree with the specifications on the rating plate, located behind the top trim panel on the front of the oven. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Hobart Corporation immediately.

BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT Although main burner air is adjusted before shipment, it should be checked at the time of installation. Excessive air will cause flames to lift off a burner when cold or may cause flash-back during normal cycling of oven, particularly when propane gas is used. Insufficient air will cause flames to burn with a yellow tip and result in carbon accumulation in the flame chamber and heat exchanger tubes. Contact your local Hobart servicer if required.

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES AND TIMES FOR ROASTING Meat roasting is most satisfactory at temperatures of 225 to 325°F (107 to 163°C) for beef, lamb, poultry and ham; 325°F (163°C) for fresh pork as recommended by USDA and American Meat Institute. A pan, approximately 12 x 20 x 1" (30.4 x 50.8 x 2.5 cm) full of water, may be placed in the oven bottom. This water supplies humidity to reduce shrinkage. Water should be added if necessary during roasting.
