Operating instructions

SECTION 3 OPERATION
3.1 OPERATING CONTROLS AND
INDICATORS
All the controls required to operate the oven are
listed in Table 3-1, with a short functional description
of each. Figure 3-1 shows the physical location of
each control and indicator.
3.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES
Before attempting to use the oven for cooking, be
sure that proper electrical connections have been
made, and fan guard and deflector are properly
mounted. (See Figure 6-1).
3.2.1 Preheating
1. Arrange shelf positions according to the item to be
cooked. Refer to Test Kitchen Bulletin #41 for
correct positioning.
2. Place ON-OFF switch in the ON position and
close doors. Fan will begin rotating. If not, reset
circuit breaker.
3. Set thermostat dial to desired cooking temp-
erature. Element indicator light should come on.
4. Allow oven to preheat for about 15 minutes.
Preheating is complete when indicator light
goes out. Do not waste energy by turning the
oven on too early,
3.2.2 Cooking
The oven is ready for cooking use when the
element indicator light goes off. The load should be
adjacent to the oven so that the doors will be open for
as short a time as possible.
1. Load oven.
2. Close doors and set timer for desired cooking time.
Buzzer will sound at end of preset interval.
3. Unload oven and proceed as follows:
a) If oven is to be turned off, place thermostat dial
and ON-OFF switch in the OFF position.
b) If oven temperature is to be lowered, reset the
thermostat to the desired temperature and close
the right door. Fan will continue to operate with
left door open. When light comes on, oven is at
lower temperature. Right door is then closed until
light comes on to show that temperature is
stabilized.
4. Place thermostat dial and ON-OFF switch in OFF
position for daily shut-down. For extended shut-
down, place dial and switch in OFF position and
leave doors ajar.
