Part # P125 Rev 2 (07/31/12)Page 10
OPERATION
Once the equipment has been installed and tested by
qualied professional personnel, the oven is ready for
operation. If the pilot is not lit, proceed as follows:
1. Check the oven gas valve. It should be in the “OFF”
position. If not, turn this valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the lower front panel by turning the special self-
retaining fasteners.
3. Ignition of the pilot is made by passing a lighted taper
through the access hole in the front air shield, or by
removing this shield while pressing in and holding the
red reset button of the oven safety valve. This button is
reached through the access hole in the centre section of
the side control panel. Release the red button after the
pilot has been lit, approximately 45 seconds. If the pilot
does not remain lit, repeat after waiting 5 minutes.
4. After the oven pilot is lit, replace the front air shield and
lower front panel.
Burn O – Deck Curing
Many of the parts used in the oven have a thin protective
oil covering. This oil should be burned o before the oven
is used for production of food. The following burn o
procedure will also service to “cure” the oven hearth. If the
curing procedure is not followed, there is a potential for the
deck material to crack.
Turn the oven thermostat dial back to the 300°F setting
and run the oven at this temperature for at least an hour.
Repeat at 400°F and 500°F. the total “curing” process is
accomplished in a 3 hour period of time.
The oven may now be shut down by turning the gas control
valve to the “OFF” position and turning the thermostat back
to its lowest setting.
NOTE: You cannot turn the oven o just by turning the oven
thermostat down. You must turn the gas valve to the “OFF”
position.
It will not be necessary to extinguish the oven pilot unless
the oven is to remain unused for a long period of time.
After the hearth is “cured”, the oven is ready for operation.
1. If the oven pilot has been extinguished, go through steps
1 through 4, as previously listed.
2. All models that have the corderite hearths should be
preheated for no less than one (1) hour. This will bring
the oven interior to the desired temperature and will
provide time for the hearth and the oven interior surfaces
to absorb and store heat required for optimum oven
performance. All models that have steel hearths will
require approximately 25 minutes to preheat.
3. After preheating, the oven is ready for use.
4. Distribute the load evenly on the deck. Space pans
equally from each other and the side of the oven.
5. Planning will avoid unbalanced baking as a result of
adding product after loading goods have started to bake.
6. Do not open door unnecessarily. Repositioning of
product is not required in most cases.
NOTE: Each oven has been factory tested and adjusted prior
to shipment. It may be necessary to further adjust the oven
as part of a proper installation. Such adjustments are the
responsibility of the installer.
Adjustments are not considered defects in material and
workmanship, and they are not covered under the original
equipment warranty.
Do Not Undersize The Vent Pipe! This can cause resistance
to ow and impede good eciency.
