Installation, Operation, and Care of WKG SERIES GAS CONVECTION OVENS KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE GENERAL Models WKG and WKGX are equipped with a mechanical KX thermostat. Models WKGD and WKGDX feature a solid state temperature control. Models WKGC and WKGCX feature programmable controls. One hour dial timer and buzzer and two-speed 1/2 HP (0.37 kw) blower motor are standard equipment. Porcelain interior is standard on all models; stainless steel interior is optional.
LOCATION The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. When installed, minimum clearance from combustible construction must be 1" (2.5 cm) at the left side, 4" (10 cm) at the right side, and 6" (15 cm) at the rear. Minimum clearance from non-combustible construction must be 0" (0 cm) at the left side, 4" (10 cm) at the right side, and 6" (15 cm) at the rear. The oven may be installed on combustible floors.
Assembling the Legs to the Oven BACK The legs must be installed on the bottom of the oven. Gently position the oven on its side, taking care not to scratch or damage it. Attach each of the four leg assemblies to the bottom of the oven with the 24 bolts and lockwashers (6 per leg). Carefully raise the oven to its normal position. ASSEMBLING THE STAND TO THE OVEN FRONT Attach each of the four leg assemblies to the bottom of the oven with the 24 bolts and lockwashers (6 per leg).

(0.87 kPa) (2.49 kPa) WKG WKGD WKGC WKGX WKGDX WKGCX Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases. Location of the gas inlet is at the rear of the oven. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas line ahead of the oven.
VENT SYSTEM DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the oven. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel. Ovens may use an optional down draft diverter flue method. This optional down draft diverter must be purchased from the oven manufacturer and vented to the outside; otherwise, the installation of any such device will void all oven certifications and warranties.
OPERATION WARNING: THE OVEN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING, OR PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. CONTROLS (Models WKG, WKGX, WKGD, WKGDX Without Roast & Hold) Models WKG, WKGX Without Roast & Hold (Fig. 4) Models WKGD, WKGDX Without Roast & Hold (Fig.

Roast & Hold (When Equipped) 1. Turn the oven ON. 2. Set the oven Cooking temperature to the desired setting. 3. Position the function switch on Roast & Hold. 4. Set the Roast & Hold Timer to the desired time. • The oven will roast the product for the time set on the Roast & Hold Timer at the temperature set by the oven Thermostat. After the time has elapsed on the Roast & Hold Timer, the oven control will automatically switch to the Hold temperature of 160°F (71°C).
PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLS (Models WKGC, WKGCX) Always displays [HR:Min] when setting the Time. Displays [HR:Min] if the countdown Time is more than 1 Hour. Displays [Min:Sec] if the countdown Time is less than 1 Hour. Displays Temperature in °F. Indicates the oven is in the Roast and Hold Mode. R&H MODE OVEN READY R&H MODE OVEN HEATING Indicates the oven is preheated and ready for cooking. OVEN READY MENU SELECT PRIMARY SECONDARY Indicates the oven is preheating.
MANUALLY SETTING THE TEMPERATURE AND COOK TIME To Set the Temperature • Press the SET button. Press the TEMPERATURE button; StPt displays to indicate Setpoint. • Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease the displayed Temperature value. • Press the SET button again to save the Temperature setpoint in the computer. To Set the Cook Time • Press the SET button. Press the TIME button. Tine displays to indicate TIME.
Always Set the Temperature Before Setting the Time • Press the SET button. Press the TEMPERATURE button; StPt displays. Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease the Temperature. To save, press the SET button again. At startup, the display will initially show a GROWING BAR. When the oven temperature reaches the Set Point, the set temperature displays.
ROAST AND HOLD OPERATION — (When Equipped) Roast and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage Cooking, the oven temperature is regulated by the Temperature setpoint and the Roast & Hold Timer setting. After the time counts down to 00:00, Second Stage Cooking begins. During Second Stage Cooking, the heating elements are off as the temperature in the oven declines to the Hold Temperature. The doors should remain closed during Second Stage Cooking.
RACK ARRANGEMENTS All models are supplied with five racks and have a maximum operating capacity of six racks per oven. The eleven-position rack supports provide for maximum flexibility and proper rack spacing. The following arrangements are recommended. The position numbers are in numerical sequence starting at the bottom (Fig. 8). Arrangement #1 — Five racks in Positions #2, #4, #6, #8, and #10 for cookies or reconstitution of frozen lunches at maximum capacity.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES AND TIMES FOR ROASTING Meat roasting is most satisfactory at temperatures of 225 – 325°F (107 – 162°C) for beef, lamb, poultry, and ham; 325°F (162°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.
