9
Have a CLASS C fire extinguisher close by and know how to use it.
Consult with your local fire department regarding proper operating
techniques and procedures for using this class of fire extinguisher.
CAUTIONS
1. To prevent burns, always use a dry pot holder for moving a hot pan or
skillet.
2. Do not touch a hot burner.
3. For oven fires in a pan or skillet, smother flames with a tight
fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray. Turn off and be careful to not
burn yourself. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate the
premises and call the fire department.
4. Never use water to put out a grease fire; never use a wet rag or towel
to smother a fire.
5. Cooking with high heat should always be attended; do not leave the
oven unattended. Food can boil over and hot grease in a pan can
ignite.
6. Caution should be used when small children are around the oven
while cooking. Treats and toys should not be stored around or in
the oven. This could attract children to climb on or around the
oven to reach the item. Children should not climb, stand or sit on
open oven doors or on any part of the oven.

10
USING THE OVEN
Before baking or broiling:
Independently, turn the oven burners on for 20-minutes respectively.
This will burn off the manufacturing oils used by the factory.
•Turn the selector knob to Bake and set the thermostat knob to 450°F. Run
the oven for 2-hours.
•Allow the oven to cool for 10-minutes.
•Upon completing the oven cycle, turn the selector knob to Broil. Turn the
thermostat knob to broil and allow the broiler to run for 20-minutes.
•There may be an odor during these respective functions
All model ovens have three cooking methods available:
•INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION
•Traditional Bake
•Broil
•Fan – Cool Down (used to cool your oven temperature rapidly)
WHAT IS THE CONVECTION COOKING PROCESS?
•Convection is the process of cooking with hot air that is mechanically
circulated by a fan in a continuous pattern around the food
•Cooking results can be faster than cooking charts suggest and food
should be checked for doneness perhaps 5 - 15 minutes early.
•Oven temperatures should be lowered 25°F in most cases.
•Multiple racks of food can be cooked at the same time with even browning
and even cooking times.
Other Features:
•This oven can also be used at low temperatures to dehydrate food, warm
plates or for very slow cooking at a low heat.
•The fan only can be used to defrost frozen foods.
The thermostat on every oven is factory checked for accuracy.

11
AMERICAN RANGE PROFESSIONAL WALL OVENS
•INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION is the unique, proprietary convection
system created by American Range engineers.
•INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION uses two fans at the back of the oven to
circulate hot air more evenly around the oven. Air is also vented into the
oven through side vents to create a more uniform and fast cooking
process. Circulating hot air reaches all areas of the oven and eliminates
any hot or cold spots.
•The bake burner is rated at 2,200 Watts, the broil burner is 3,500 watts.
OVEN FEATURES:
•Your new Professional Oven is equipped with state-of-the-art bake and
infrared broil burners.
•Each oven has its own temperature control knob that cycles the burners
off and on to maintain the proper heat.
•All models have 6 rack positions and the large 30“ oven includes 3 racks.
•When cooking with INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION, any rack is suitable.
HOW TO COOK WITH INNOVECTION-CONVECTION:
1. INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION fan-circulated hot air browns all food
surfaces quickly.
2. The circulating hot air seals in juices in meats and vegetables.
3. This cooking process eliminates the need to baste with additional fat or
juices.
4. Meat and poultry are roasted in an uncovered shallow pan that allows the
circulating hot air to quickly brown all food surfaces.
5. This roasting process enhances flavors and keeps the inside of food moist
and juicy.
6. Some recipes or meats adapted to INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION will
cook faster than the expected time in a recipe or chart and should be
checked about 5 to 10 minutes early.
7. For best results when cooking with INNOVECTION® -CONVECTION we
recommend that low sided pans be used.
8. The circulating hot air needs to reach all sides of the food for the
best cooking results.
9. It is suggested that the oven temperature be lowered 25° for all recipes
and to reduce the cooking time by 10 to 15%.
10.Multiple racks of food can be successfully cooked at one time such as
three racks of cookies or breads.
11.A meal of meat and vegetables can be cooked on different racks
concurrently while conserving energy.

12
12.For best results always preheat the oven before INNOVECTION® -
CONVECTION baking.
13.Condensation occurs during cooking and water could appear on the cooler
panel outside of the oven door.
14.Caution should be used when opening the oven door during the cooking
TO BEGIN COOKING
1. Adjust the racks for the best cooking position before turning on the oven.
2. Insert rack with the back safety rail in the up position towards the rear of
the oven. Lift and slide the rack into the desired position.
3. Push in and turn the Oven Selector Knob to the bake, convection or broil
position. This will activate the respective heating elements.
4. Turn the temperature setting knob clockwise to the correct oven
temperature.
5. The blue indicator light on the oven panel glows indicating the burner is on
and cycles off when the oven is at the correct temperature.
Turn the oven temperature knob and the selector switch
knobs to the off position when finished cooking; be sure
the two knobs are completely in the off position
TRADITIONAL BAKE:
•Traditional Bake is the standard way to bake and is best when one rack of
food is cooked at a time.
•Any food item can be baked in the traditional manner but some foods can
only be baked in the traditional way for the best results.
•Traditional baking is best for foods that need to be covered and or cooked
for a long time, such as casseroles, and slow cooked roasts in liquid.
•Traditional bake is best for custard pies such as pumpkin, quiches, or nut
pies such as pecan.
•Traditional baking is also best for recipes that call for very high
temperatures, such as meringue toppings.
For best results use a single rack for traditional baking.
•Before turning on the oven, position the oven racks to the desired baking
position for the food being cooked.
•Most single rack baking of cakes, pies and cookies will be in the center of
the oven. Numbering the rack positions, start from the bottom rack
position which is one, to the top.
•Most roasting will be at rack position one or two depending on the size
and quantity of food being roasted.
•A cake will usually be baked on rack three or in the center rack position of
the oven.

h
ole, unstuffed, poultry such as chicken and turkey should be placed on rack 1
or 2 with the legs and cavity opening pointing towards the back of the oven.
TO USE THE BROILER:
When using broil, the rack position depends on the food, and the thickness of the
meat. Rack position one is at the bottom of the oven, and the positions number
up as a ladder with six being at the top.
•The oven door should remain closed during broil
•Most broiling uses rack positions three or four counting from the bottom.
•Push in oven knob and turn to the broil setting;the blue indicator light will
come on.
•When inspecting the food, open the oven door no more than 2 inches.
•For best results, broil small, flat cuts of meat such as steaks, hamburgers,
chops or boneless chicken breasts.

KEEP YOUR OVEN CLEAN
To keep your oven operating properly, clean after each use. This prevents build-
up of soil and grease. Grease and soil will be more difficult to clean if it has been
allowed to sit and cook onto the oven.
TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR OF THE OVEN
The exterior is brushed stainless steel.
1. Wash all exterior surfaces with hot water and dish detergent such as
Ivory Liquid, or Joy.
2. Rub stubborn spots with baking soda or liquid cleaner such as Windex
All Surface Cleaner or 409.
3. Do not use abrasives on stainless steel. Use rough towels, sponges or
soft plastic scrubbers. RUB ONLY WITH THE “GRAIN”.
4. Mild scouring cleaners can be used, such as Bon Ami or Cameo.
5. Do not use steel wool pads or green rough Scrubee’s.
TO CLEAN THE OVEN
The oven cavity is porcelain with steel rack guides and racks. The infra-red broil
element and bake elements both have glass shields that are easy to clean. Most soil is
burned off by the intense heat, here's how to handle the remaining:
1. Turn the unit off.
2. Wash the interior with soap and water. For stubborn stains make a
paste with baking soda and water and rub with a sponge or nylon pad.
3. Use mild scrubbing compounds designed for glass ceramic cooktops.
4. Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive sponges or scrubbers.
5. If necessary, spray oven cleaner can be used. DO NOT SPRAY
OVEN CLEANER INTO THE CONVECTION FANS OR ONTO
THE BAKE OR BROIL GLASS SHIELDS.
6. Do not use scouring powders on the glass shields; windex may be
used on the window.
