OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The information in this section is intended for the use of
qualified operating personnel. Qualified Operating
Personnel are those individuals who have carefully read
the information contained in this manual, are familiar
with the function of the oven and/or have had experience
with operating the equipment described. We recommend
following
these
instructions
to
insure
optimum
performance, long life and trouble-free service from your
oven.
The "E" & 6/13 Series of Convection Ovens
Convection cooking has been around from the 1960s. Its
advantages are well known. It differs from conventional
cooking by the movement of heated air within the
cooking cavity by means of a fan. This moving, heated air
helps to strip the cool air from around the product being
cooked, allowing the heat to penetrate more rapidly. The
results are that your product is cooked quicker and at a
lower temperature with the comparable product quality
found in conventional ovens.
The "E" & 6/13 Series of ovens represent the very latest
in energy efficiency technology with an appreciable
reduction in NOx emissions over other gas fired ovens, both
convection and conventional. The introduction of heat
directly to the cooking cavity precludes any undue thermal
loss due to the venting away of heated air before it has
utilized its energy to cook product. This results in lower flue
temperatures and hence, less heat loss to your kitchen so
your exhaust and air conditioning systems do not work as
hard. Also, the "over-sized" cooking cavity allows you to
cook more products in each load.
All of this in addition to superior cooking results means the
"E" & 6/13 Series of gas fired convection ovens are
outstanding values. In addition, lower NOx emissions
means it's environmentally friendly. Please take the time to
carefully read the operating instructions. They are important
in the successful use of your oven.
WARNING:
The "E" & 6/13 Series Convection Ovens rely on
electricity for powering the ignition system and the fan.
Do not attempt to operate during a power failure.
