PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION Continued
Center the load on the oven racks to allow for proper heat
circulation around the sides. The oven will hold three, 18" x
26" (457mm x 660mm) sheet pans, six 12" x 20" x 2.5" (305mm
x 508mm x 64mm) steam table pans, or one 17.75"x 25.75"
(451mm x 654mm), roast pan. Never place pans directly
on the oven bottom. Always use the lowest rack position
that will allow air to circulate within the oven cavity. Load
and unload food as quickly as possible to prevent excessive
temperature drop. For even baking avoid using warped pans.
Do not use a deep pan for shallow cakes, cookies, etc., as
heat circulation across the top of these items is essential for
browning. To prevent excessive shrinkage, roast meat at a
low temperature; 250°F to 325°F (121°C to 163°C).
CARE & CLEANING

Painted Finish

Establish a regular cleaning schedule. Any spills should be
wiped off immediately.
The oven should be permitted to cool down before cleaning
exterior surfaces.
1 Wipe exposed cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a lightweight non-metallic scouring pad.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
2. Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent,
a soft cloth and hot water. If necessary to use a non-
metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the
grain in the metal to prevent scratching. Use a water
based stainless cleaner if you want a high shine.

Stainless Steel

For routine cleaning just wash with hot water and detergent
solution. Wash just a small area at a time or the water will
evaporate leaving the chemicals behind causing streaking.
Rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped in a
sanitizing solution and wipe dry with soft clean cloth before
it can dry.
Use a paste (of water and a mild scouring powder) if you
have to, but never rub against the grain. All stainless steel has
been polished in one direction. Rub with the polish lines to
preserve the original finish. Then thoroughly rinse as before.
Part # 4500195 (02/20/08)
When rethermalizing frozen products, preheat the oven 50°F
(10°C), higher than the cooking temperature to compensate
heat loss during and after loading. Return the thermostat to
the cooking temperature after loading.
To conserve energy, turn the oven off when not in use. If you
cover pans with aluminum foil, be sure to crimp it tightly
around the edges to prevent the foil from blowing off in
the oven. Any food or other or other matter that becomes
lodged in the fan must be removed as soon as the oven is
cool.
To prevent fingerprints there are several stainless steel
polishes on the market the leave and oily waxy film. Do not
use on surfaces that will be in contact with food.
Stainless steel may discolor if overheated. These stains can
usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring
powder paste.
Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools if necessary
to scrape off heavy deposits of grease and oil. Do not use
ordinary steel scrapers or knives, as particles of the iron may
become imbedded and rust. STEEL WOOL SHOULD NEVER BE
USED.
