Oven (Standard)
Lighting
1. Push in the valve knob, and turn it counter-clockwise to
the ignition position.
2. While holding the valve knob fully in, press the ignitor
button and observe that the pilot lights. If it does not,
repeatedly depress the ignitor button until it does.
3. When the pilot is lit, continue to hold the valve knob fully
in for at least 30 seconds, then release it. If the pilot goes
out, wait for five (5), minutes, then repeat from step 1.
4. When the pilot has been established, push the valve
knob in again and turn it counter-clockwise to the oven
flame position, then set the thermostat to the desired
temperature.
5. To turn the burner off, turn the dial to the circular “OFF”
symbol. The safety device will disengage within 60
seconds.
“RC” Convection Ovens
The forced air range oven consists of a food preparation
chamber completely sealed from the combustion area.
This eliminates the possibility of contamination from flue
products and permits an efficient method of circulating the
heated air within the cooking chamber.
During the cooking process in a conventional oven, a vapor
barrier and a layer of “cool” air covers the exposed area of
the product. In a forced air oven, the fan pushes the heated
air over and around the product, sweeping away the vapor
barrier and cool air, permitting faster heat penetration. This
action permits the use of lower temperatures and shorter
cooking times.
The rule of thumb for determining the cooking temperature
is to reduce the set temperature by approximately 80°F,
(28°C), from that which you would use in a conventional
oven, and that the product be checked at a point midway in
the time required in a conventional oven.

Refer to the section titled ‘STANDARD OVEN’ on the previous
page for detailed instructions.
Start Up
1. Set the power switch to the” COOK” position.
2. Turn the oven valve knob to the “flame” symbol.
3. Turn the thermostat to the desired setting.
Cool down
1. Turn the oven valve knob to the circular “OFF” symbol.
2. Turn the thermostat to its lower setting.
3. Open the oven door.
4. Set the power switch to the “COOL DOWN” position.
Shut Down
1. Turn the oven valve knob to the circular “OFF” symbol.
2. Turn the thermostat to its lowest setting.
3. Set the power switch to the “OFF” position.
Operating Suggestions
The motor on your range convection oven is maintenance
free since it is constructed with self-lubricating sealed ball
bearings. It is designed to proved durable service when
treated with ordinary care. We have a few suggestions to
follow on the car of your motor.
A. When the motor is operating, it cools itself internally by
air entering the rear of the motor case, provided proper
clearance has been allowed.
B. Since the blower wheel is in the oven cavity it is at the
same temperature as the oven. If the motor is stopped
while the oven is hot, the heat from the blower wheel is
conducted down the shaft and into the armature of the
motor. This action could shorten motor life.
C. We recommend, at the end of the bake or roasting
period, when the oven will be idle for any period of time
or before shutting down completely, that the doors
be left open, and by use of the cool-down position on
the fan switch, the fan continues to run for at least 20
minutes. The “FAN” should never be turned “OFF” when
the oven is “HOT”.
Fryers and Broilers
Range-Match Broilers
To ensure long life and service, it is imperative that the
cooking surface be carefully broken in or “seasoned” in the
follow manner:
1. Remove all factory applied protective material by
washing with hot water and a mild detergent or soap
solution. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
