4OPERATIONGENERALConvection ovens constantly circulate air overand around the product. This strips away the thinlayer of moisture and cool air from around theproduct allowing heat to penetrate more quickly.Cooking times can be shortened and cookingtemperatures can be reduced.To convert standard deck oven recipes, reducethe temperature 50 degrees and the time by 25%.Make minor adjustments as necessary.The lower the oven temperature the more eventhe bake.Check the product near the end of the initialcooking cycle by turning on the oven light andlooking through the oven door windows.Do not open the oven doors during baking as thiswill change the baking characteristics of the ovenand make it difficult to determine a finalprogram.If the product is overdone on the outside andunderdone on the inside, reduce the bakingtemperature.If the product is pulling away from the edge ofthe pan, the temperature is too high or thecooking time too long.Load each shelf evenly. Spaces should bemaintained equally between the pan and ovenwalls, front and back.For best baking results, load the oven from thetop to the bottom during random loading.CONTROL PANELThe control panel consist of the following items:LIGHT SWITCH Turns the oven interior lights on and off.POWER SWITCH Turns the oven on and off.STATUS READOUT Displays the oven status ( etc.) and is the count downtimer.TIER LIGHTS Displays the tier that the program is running, mainly used duringprogramming.PRODUCT BUTTONS Numbered 0 to 9 these buttons contain the programs that, when selected,will run the oven.SHELF BUTTONS Labeled A to E these buttons indicate which shelf the product is placedon, A being the top shelf."MAN PROG" Short for Manual Program, this button allows the operator to enter a timeand temperature without being required to enter the programming code.The program is lost once the oven is turned off."TEMP" When pushed this button will display the current operating temperature ofthe oven in the STATUS READOUT."READ/CLEAR" Pressing this button twice then pressing a Product button instructs theoven to "read back" the times and temperatures for that product button inthe STATUS READOUT. It will also switch the oven from a runningprogram to " " when pressed and held until " " appears in theSTATUS READOUT
