INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Usage Recommendations
1. Pre-heat the oven thoroughly before use. Allow
one hour and fifteen minutes for pre-heat.
2. Pre-heat ovens @ 75°F (24°C) BELOW desired
cook/bake temperature.
3. Do not move baking location in the middle of a
bake, but spinning is okay.
4. Keep decks clean of flour, cheese, etc using a
deck/scraper brush.
5. During idle periods, reduce heat by 75°F (24°C).
6. Minimize water content of products for faster
cook/bake times.
7. For larger & thick products, reduce temperature &
increase bake/cook time.
8. Cooking times and temperatures will vary
depending upon such factors as size of the load,
temperature, mixture of products (particularly
moisture) and density of products.
9. 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.
10. When practical, start cooking the lowest
temperature product first and gradually work up
to the higher temperatures.
11. When loading the oven, work as quickly as
possible to prevent loss of heat.
12. Oven will continue to heat even though the timer
goes off. Product should be removed from the
oven as soon as possible to avoid overcooking.
13. When baking, weigh or measure the product in
each pan to assure even cooking.
14. Only bread and pizza may be placed directly on a
stone baking hearth.

will be reduced.
Rotate pies to unused areas of the bake deck that are hotter and
will cook the bottoms faster.
Bottom switch set too low.
Increase setting.
Top switch set too high.
Decrease setting.
Bottom of pies burn
before toppings are
cooked
Deck temperature too hot - especially during
slow periods
Reduce Thermostat setting by 50°-75° below normal bake
temperature. When decks cool begin cooking and immediately
increase the thermostat setting by 50° - 75°.
Bottom switch set too high.
Decrease setting.
Top switch set too low.
Increase setting.
Pies cook unevenly
Areas adjacent to oven walls are generally
hotter.
Rotate pies (180°), once during each bake or keep to the center
of oven.
Element defective
Replace element
Heat selector switch faulty
Replace heat selector switch
