OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Continued
Oven Operating Controls Centigrade
B Since the blower wheel is in the oven cavity it is at the
same temperature as the oven If the motor is stopped
while the oven is hot, the heat from the blower wheel is
conducted down the shaft and into the armature of the
motor This action could shorten the motor life
C We recommend, at the end of the bake or roasting period
or before shutting down completely, that the doors
be left open Set the fan switch to the“COOL DOWN”
position The fan should run for at least 20 minutes The
“FAN”should never be turned“OFF”when the oven is
“HOT”

The motor on your range convection oven is maintenance
free since it is constructed with self-lubricating sealed ball
bearings It is designed to provide durable service when
treated with ordinary care We have a few suggestions to
follow on the care of your motor
A When the motor is operating, it cools itself internally by
air entering the rear of the motor case, provided proper
clearance has been allowed
Part # P153 Rev 1 (02/21/08)

PRODUCT APPLICATION
The top of the range is designed for flexibility and the
preparation of numerous types of products
1 Pot bottoms must be flat This increases the heat transfer
to the pot Do not use pots with convex bottoms or
concave bottoms with more than 1/32”(1mm) concave
Griddles
2 Use pots with the same diameter as the element where
possible This will reduce heat up time
Griddle tops are designed to have food cooked directly on
the surface Do not put pots or pans on the griddle surface as
this will scratch or nick the surface and will result in improper
cooking or sticking of the product Never salt food over the
griddle since this will build up gummy residue making it
difficult to clean
3 Do not preheat the element Elements are protected with
a high limit, which will automatically reduce the element
to a lower power It will increase heatup time if this
occurs
Avoid hitting the surface of the griddle with the edge of a
spatula, since this will cause nicks The most frequently used
temperatures are 300° F to 350° F (149° C to 177° C) After one
firing, the griddle plate will discolor This is normal and will not
affect cooking performance
4 Use a lid on pots when boiling water
Standard Ovens
The temperature is automatically controlled by the
thermostat so satisfactory cooking can be repeated For best
performance the following instructions should be followed:
Solid Hot Tops
Grid shelves: There are three shelf positions The shelf
position is governed by the size of the product cooked
Always push the shelf back into the oven until it pops making
contact with the rear of the oven
Recommended where long term stock pot cooking is
required for soups, sauces, or stocks Pots can be placed
anywhere on the hot top The maximum recommended
stock pot size is 12”(305mm) diameter
Tray size: A cake tray may be used on each shelf Single trays
or dishes must not be allowed to overhang the shelf in any
direction, since this will adversely affect the heat circulation
The recommended pre-heat time is 30 minutes This will
thoroughly saturate the plate Pots must have flat bottoms
for maximum contact with the hot surface Roasting pans
with straps should never be used on a hot top since only the
straps touch the surface and heat transfer will be minimal
Loading: Allow at least 45 minutes after turning the oven on
from cold, with the thermostat at the desired temperature
before loading the oven Put the food in quickly and close
the oven door
Preparation of soups, stocks, or sauces are done on the hot
top where slow even cooking is desirable Heating larger
quantities of food can be done more efficiently than heating
small quantities Pots and pans should be covered whenever
possible to reduce the energy consumption
RC Convection Ovens
The forced air range oven improves heating efficiencies by
circulating the heated air within the cooking chamber This
reduces the temperature rise time and baking time The oven
elements are interlocked with the door When the fan switch
is in the heat position the elements will only operate when
the door is closed When the fan switch is in the cool position
the fan will only operate when the door is open
High acid sauces, such as tomato should be cooked in
stainless steel vessels rather than aluminum since stainless
steel will not react chemically Light colored sauces may be
discolored by the aluminum especially if stirred with a metal
spoon Salty water may pit aluminum if used frequently
Sealed Hotplate (SS/SU Models)
Operating suggestions for convection ovens:
All-purpose sealed top elements provide and easy-clean top
They are intended for broiling, sauté, and other range top
cooking
1 As a general guide, set the oven temperature 25-50°
F (10-20° C) lower than temperature used in standard
ovens
Operation practices are very important for efficient use of
these elements:
2 Cooking times may be 2% to 3% less

PRODUCT APPLICATION Continued
3 Keep a close check on any product being prepared for the
first time The size of the load, temperature of the product
going in, and moisture content are major factors that
influence necessary cook times and temperatures
7 Never place pans directly on the oven bottom
8
Do not use a deep pan for shallow cakes, cookies, etc as
heat circulation across the top of these items is essential
for browning
4 Record successful times and temperatures for future
reference
9 When rethermalizing frozen products, preheat oven to
50° F (10°C) higher than the cooking temperature to
compensate for heat loss before and after loading Return
thermostat to the cooking temperature after loading
5 Preheat the oven thoroughly before use (at least 30
minutes)
6
Allow air circulation around the product Center pans on
oven racks
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
General
Enameled Surfaces
Grease the door hinges and check for loose fasteners
Tighten as necessary
Establish a regular cleaning schedule Any spills should be
wiped off immediately The unit should be allowed to cool
down before cleaning any exterior surfaces Wipe exposed
cleanable surfaces when cool with mild detergent and
hot water Stubborn residue spots may be removed with a
scouring pad Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth
Cleaning
WARNING: this appliance must not be cleaned with a water jet
Stainless Steel
Salamander
Stainless steel should be cleaned using mild detergent, a soft
cloth and hot water If it is necessary to use a non-metallic
scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the grain in the
metal to prevent scratching Wash a small area at a time and
rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped into a
disinfectant and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth before it can
dry
1 Clean the salamander racks as soon as possible after
cooking with tomato or vinegar based products, which
have a high acid content These foods can cause pitting of
the rack surface
2 Drain and clean drip tray frequently Excessive oil drain off
can cause spillover
Use only stainless steel, wood, or plastic tools to scrape off
heavy deposits of grease or oil Do not use ordinary steel
scrapers or knives as particles of iron may become imbedded
and rust NEVER USE STEEL WOOL
Ovens
Clean the oven racks and guides with hot soapy water and
dry thoroughly Clean the oven interior with oven cleaner

Griddles
Griddle Do’s & Don’ts
After Each Use
Do’s
1 Using a traditional 2 1/2”– 3”(64mm –76mm) scraper
or spatula, scrape the griddle surface (to remove food
particles and oil residues) towards the grease trough
using even front to back strokes Deposit debris into the
chute
1 Season the griddle This will prevent food from sticking
and make it easier to keep the surface clean
2
Keep the surface clean Scraping the surface thorough
out production to clear foods and oils prevents build up
and will make it easier to keep the surface clean
2 Pour shortening or oil onto the griddle surface using
straight front to back motion Clean the griddle using a
griddle stone or grill screen Always wipe with the grain
of the steel, never sideways
3 Turn the temperature down during slow periods
Reducing the temperature or turning sections off during
slow times will conserve energy and prevent the plate
from overheating
3 Using a clean cloth, rub a thin and even layer of oil into
the griddle surface
Don’ts
1 Do not use salt to clean the griddle surface, Salt is
corrosive and can cause pitting of the griddle
4 Remove the grease drawer, empty and wash thoroughly
with soap and water Replace
2
Do not allow metal utensils (Spatula, scraper, etc ) to
nick and/or dent the surface of the griddle The edges of
these utensils are sharp and will create divots that oil can
collect and caramelize with will cause sticking
For Heavy Build Up
NOTE: After using cleaners and grease cutters, re-season the
griddle
Apply to a warm griddle for best results
3 Do not use the griddle as a hot top A large pan or pot will
trap heat and can cause the griddle plate to warp
1 Using a traditional 2 1/2”– 3”(64mm –76mm) scraper
or spatula scrape the griddle surface (to remove food
particles and oil residues) towards the grease trough
using even front to back strokes Deposit debris into the
chute
4 Do not over heat the griddle to preheat faster Preheating
only takes 15-20 minutes
Thermostat Calibration
WARNING: Turn off the electrical mains before
commencing any service work
2 Apply griddle cleaner evenly over the griddle surface and
let sit as directed Follow the procedures on the label of
the specific cleaning product
Oven
3 Using a traditional scraper or spatula, slosh around the
griddle cleaner to remove the build up
It is normal for an electromechanical thermostat to cycle with
a 45°F - 50° F (25°C - 28°C) range when checking calibration
allow the thermostat to cycle a minimum of two times
4 Scrape the griddle surface towards the grease trough
using even back to front stokes Repeat step 2 if
necessary
1 Place the thermocouple of the test instrument in the
center of the oven
5 Using mild detergent, clean the surface and rinse
thoroughly with water and vinegar solution Dry griddle
2 Turn the oven temperature control dial to 400° F (205°
C) In order to allow the oven temperature to stabilize,
the oven control must be allowed to cycle twice before
taking a test reading
6 Using a clean cloth rub a thin and even layer of oil into
the griddle surface
3 Check the temperature reading just when the control
cycles“OFF”as indicated by the cycling pilot lamp If the
temperature does not read with in 15° F (8°C) of the dial
setting, recalibrate as follows:
7 Re-season the griddle as detailed in initial cleaning The
griddle is now ready for use
