INITIAL START-UP (RFG)
INITIAL OVEN START-UP PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: If at any time you feel that either or both of the burners are not operating properly, turn the oven off and call for
service� Before servicing, disconnect the electrical supply at the breaker and turn off the gas supply at the appliance’s individual
gas shutoff valve� In the event of a power failure, no attempt should be made to operate the oven�
Your oven was cured at the factory� However in the course of shipment, storage on site, etc� the ceramic materials will have
absorbed moisture� It is critical that the procedure below be followed to ensure that this moisture is driven from the ceramic in a
controlled fashion� This will minimize cracking and prevent damage to the oven that could otherwise occur by bringing the oven to
temperature rapidly the first time it is used� This initial procedure need only be followed the first time the oven is fired and/or if the
oven has not been used for an extended period of time�
BEFORE GETTING STARTED
1.
Make sure main gas supply is on (valve parallel with gas line)�
2. Make sure that the venting system has been tested and approved for operation and is on�
FIRST DAY
1.
Remove the Night Heat Retention Door(s)� Push the ON/OFF button on controller� It may take awhile for the gas to purge all the
air from the gas lines�
2. Allow oven to operate at the factory settings for 1 hour with the radiant flame at its lowest setting�
3. After one hour, raise radiant flame to 25% (~16 cm (6") flame, “2” on the Flame Height Index Scale) using the Flame Height
Control Knob� Hold this setting for 4 hours�
4. After 4 hours at 25% flame, raise to 50% flame (~20 cm (8") flame, “3” on the Flame Height Index Scale) using the Flame
Height Control Knob and hold for at least another 4 hours or until the temperature reaches 260 °C (500 °F)�
5. Once the temperature reaches 260 °C (500 °F) the oven is ready for use� If you will be shutting the oven down, see the
instructions that follow�
TURNING OFF THE OVEN
1.
Push ON/OFF button� All gas will go off� Put the Night Heat Retention Door(s) in place to retain heat�
NOTE: Always wait 5 minutes before restarting the oven� Never run the oven with the Night Heat Retention Door(s)in place.
NOTE: Small “crazing” cracks will occur with normal heating and cooling� They will not effect the performance or durability
of the oven� If cracks of 1/8" or more develop, contact your local distributor for evaluation�
NEVER PLACE ANYTHING IN OR ABOVE THE RADIANT FLAME
