When any difficulty arises it is always a good idea to check that the oven has been connected to the type of voltage for
which it was manufactured. The serial plate is located on the inside of the lower front panel. It will list the type of voltage
for which the unit was manufactured. In addition, a wiring diagram is attached to the side of the fold down control panel,
as well as reproduced in this manual (see page 38).
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The typical time for the oven to heat from 75°F to 350°F is 7 to 8 minutes. The heating elements should come on when
the actual oven temperature drops to 10°F below the temperature setting.
