Performance Recommendations & Safety Precautions; Problem/Solutions - Garland Master Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

PERFORMANCE RECOMMENDATIONS & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Preheat oven thoroughly (approx. 20 minutes) before use.
2. As a general rule, temperature should be reduced 25°
to 50° from that used in a standard/convection oven.
Cooking time may also be shorter, so we suggest closely
checking the fi rst batch of each product prepared.
3. Use the chart of suggested times and temperatures as
a guide. These will vary depending upon such factors
as size of load, temperature, and mixture of product
(particularly moisture) and density of product.
4. Keep a record of the times, temperature, and load sizes
you establish for various products. Once you have
determined these, they will be similar for succeeding
loads.
5. When practical, start cooking the lowest temperature
product fi rst and gradually work up to higher
temperatures.
6. If you fi nd that your previous temperature setting is more
than 10° higher than needed for succeeding loads, COOL
DOWN to reach the desired temperature before setting a
new cooking temperature.
7. When loading oven, work as quickly as possible to
prevent loss of heat.

Problem
8. Oven will continue to heat even though the timer goes
off . Product should be removed from the oven as soon as
possible to avoid over cooking.
9. Center pans on racks and load each shelf evenly to allow
for proper air circulation within the cavity.
10. When baking, weigh or measure the product in each pan
to assure even cooking.
11. When cooking fi ve pans, use rack positions 1, 3, 5, 7 and
9, starting from the top.
12. When re-thermalizing frozen casseroles, preheat the oven
100° over the suggested temperature. Return to cooking
temperature when the oven is loaded. This will help
compensate for the introduction of a large frozen mass
into the cavity.
13. Never place anything directly on the bottom of the oven
cavity. This obstructs the airfl ow and will cause uneven
results.
Note: Moisture will escape around the doors when baking
products with heavy moisture content, such as chicken,
potatoes, etc. This is normal.
Solution
Lower oven temperature
Reduce number of pans or lower oven temperature
Raise temperature
Bake longer or raise oven temperature slightly.
Do not open doors too often or for long periods
Overloading pans or batter is too thin
Lower oven Temperature
Reduce number of pies per rack
or eliminate use of bake pans
Lower oven temperature
Lower temperature and roast longer.
Reduce time. Limit amount of moisture
Reduce temperature or place pan of water in oven.
Reduce number or size of pans.
