OPERATION WARNING: THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, SERVICING AND CLEANING THE RANGE. WARNING (CONVECTION OVEN MODELS ONLY): WHEN USING CONVECTION OVENS, DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF OVEN WHILE OPENING DOOR. ALTHOUGH OPENING OVEN DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE FAN, SOME HEAT ESCAPES. STEP AWAY TO AVOID HOT AIR.
Oven Controls Thermostat — (located on the right side of the switch panel) controls and maintains oven temperature around the desired set temperature. Temperature range of the oven is from 175°F to 550°F. VRC Oven ON-OFF Switch (Convection Oven) — a rocker-type switch that works in conjunction with the electric supply of the thermostat and heating elements operating the oven. This switch must be in the ON position for the oven to operate.
French Hot Plate French hot plates are designed for bulk cooking and stock pot work (up to 20 Qt. stock pots or 9-10" dia. pans). Stock pots of over 5-gallon capacity are not recommended for continuous use on French hot plate sections. 208/240 volt units are controlled by infinite heat switches. 480 volt models are controlled by 3-heat switches. Optional High-Speed Units High-speed units furnished in lieu of French hot plates on 208 and 240 volt models are controlled by infinite switches.
To operate the convection oven, arrange oven racks as required, turn the power switch to ON and set the thermostat dial to the desired temperature setting. Allow the oven indicator light to cycle on and off at least twice to ensure that the oven has reached the preset cooking temperature. Load product as quickly as possible. Place pans on center of racks. After cooking is completed, open oven door and unload product.
CLEANING WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING. Daily (Or As Necessary) 1. Empty and clean grease drains and troughs. Do not line trays or trough with heat reflecting foil. 2. While still warm, wipe surface tops with a cloth or other grease absorbing material (or scrape if necessary) to remove spillover, grease, etc., before they burn in. A crust on top of the range will interfere with the cooking capabilities of the range. 3. Keep oven areas clean to prevent smoking.
