Pre-Operation Checkout
Giles takes pride in quality of workmanship. Every effort has been made to ensure that a new unit is in perfect
operating condition when received; each unit must pass rigorous quality control testing prior to shipment. To further
ensure that the appliance operates to expectations, it is recommended that a brief operational checkout be performed
prior to using it for the first time.
Before attempting to perform these checks, please refer to Section 3 and become familiar with the various controls
and their function. After fully understanding the information provided in Section 3, perform the checks described in
the following sections to check and confirm the unit’s functionality. Perform these checks precisely as described;
failure to do so could lead to equipment damage, or malfunction.
Be sure that the unit is set-up as follows before proceeding with each function check.
1. Ensure that the Power Switch
①
and the
Selector Switch ② are in the [OFF]
position.
2. Open the Cabinet Door and remove the
