Oven Use - Fisher & Paykel DCS RGS Series Service Manual

OVEN BURNERS
Your new professional RGS range is equipped with bake and
broil oven burners. The oven broiler burner is 19,000 Btu/hr.
on RGS models. The oven baking burner is 30,000 Btu/hr.,
12" oven is 18,000 Btu/hr.
ELECTRIC GLOW IGNITER
The oven bake and broil burners are equipped with an
electric glow igniter and safety system which lights the gas.
There will be a delay of 30 to 90 seconds after the control
knob has been turned on to when you actually hear the
burner come on. The burner will ignite within 4 seconds
after the gas reaches the burner.
OVEN
Your large new oven can be used in three cooking modes:
convection bake, regular bake or broil. To help you decide
which way to cook your food, read this information fi rst.
Remember, this is a new oven, and the thermostat has
been checked for accuracy. Your old oven may have had a
thermostat that over the years got a little hot or a little cold.
Check your recipes for the correct time and temperature and
do not use the old time, or temperature you were using to
compensate for your old oven being off temperature.
Models RGS-484GG, RGS-486GL, RGS-485GD, and RGS-
486GD have two ovens. The oven on the right side is the
convection oven. The smaller oven, on the left side, can be
used in standard bake only. This oven is ideal for baking
small amounts of food, when you don't want to heat the
large oven.
SETTING THE OVEN
Decide if you are going to use BAKE or CONVECTION BAKE.
These cooking modes are for baking, roasting or warming
using one, two or three racks. If you are going to use regular
Bake, simply turn the control knob to the temperature used
in the recipe. To use Convection Bake, push the Convection
Switch (located on the control panel) and turn the control
knob to the temperature desired. Models RGS-484GG,
RGS-485GD, RGS-486GL and RGS-486GD have two ovens.
The oven on the left side can be used for regular bake only;
simply turn the control knob to the temperature desired.
USE AND CARE

OVEN USE

PREHEATING
Preheating takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the
temperature set. Preheating is usually necessary for foods
baked at high temperature for a short period of time, i.e.
drop cookies. The oven heating light will turn off when the
oven has reached temperature.
CONDENSATION
During any cooking process there is a certain amount of
moisture that evaporates from the food. The amount of
moisture that condenses on the oven depends on the
moisture content of the food. The moisture will condense
on any surface that is cooler than the inside of the oven,
such as the control panel or the top of the door.
OVEN RACKS
Models RGS-484GG, RGS-485GD, RGS-486GL and RGS-
486GD have two ovens. The oven on the right side has (2)
standard and (1) broil locator rack and 4 rack positions. The
left side oven has 2 oven racks and 4 rack positions.

CAUTION:
Aluminum foil should never be used to cover
the oven racks or to line the oven bottom.
The trapped heat can damage the porcelain
and the heated air cannot adequately reach
the food being baked.
