COUNTERTOP GAS DECK OVEN OPERATION MANUAL
9
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Baking Decks:
The baking decks are heavy and fragile. They should be
handled carefully.
The baking decks should be cleaned by using a long-
handled scraper and stiff wire brush. At the end of each
day, turn the thermostat up to its maximum setting and
let the oven sit at that temperature for at least 1/2 hour.
This will burn off the food spilled onto the baking decks
during day’s production and turn it into ash. This ash
can be brushed off the next day before turning the oven
on. The baking decks should be scraped and brushed
during the day also to help keep them clean. To remove
excessive crumbs or carbon, the baking decks and the
oven cavity may vacuumed when the oven is cold. Do
not use water or other liquids on the baking decks as
that may cause them to crack. After long use, heavily
soiled baking decks may be cleaned by turning over
after scraping down and brushing off. This will burn
off the heavily soiled side of the baking decks. This
procedure may be repeated as needed.
Burner Compartment:
Vacuum out any carbon, crumbs or residue in the
burner compartment and all around the doors. The
holes and louvers on the outer surfaces of the oven must
be kept free of obstructions to allow free movement of air
into the controls and for proper combustion. The burner
ports and crossover holes should be kept free of carbon
and other deposits.
