Single-phase version of the oven (Model fe-lOa) comes equipped with cord and
plug assembly. To energize the unit, please connect it to the appropriate power
source through a NEMA-6-50R receptacle. Three-phase version (Model Fe-103) is
designed to be direct wired. The terminal block connection diagram for both
single-phase and three-phase units is attached
to the inner side of the cover
located in the right bottom quarter
of the rear enclosure of the unit. To access
the terminal block of the oven, remove the abovementioned cover.
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before
accessing terminal block
To connect the oven to the cold water supply, please use either 0/4" or Y2" NPT
female hose connector. In case of Y2" NPT, use the reducing bushing enclosed.
The cold water inlet is located in the

OPERATION
PREHEATING
To preheat the convection oven, select temperature by rotating the thermostat
knob clockwise to desired temperature setting and then
tum the timer knob that
also acts as an ON/OFF switch clockwise to the maximum setting (120 minutes)
or set timer at continuous position marked by a hand icon on the timer dial.
Green and red indicator lights will be lit. The red light will stay on until the oven
reaches the desired temperature. The green light will stay on until
the timer
reaches the indicated time setting. Allow up
to 18 minutes for the preheating
process.
COOKING WITH CONVECTION
After the preheating process is completed, select the desired cooking or baking
temperature (unless it is already set) and tum the timer knob clockwise to select
the time setting. The red indicator light will go on and will stay on until the
desired temperature is reached. When the set time is elapsed, the heating
element and the blower fan will be switched
off and the green indicator light will
go out. At the end
of the cooking cycle, the timer produces a repetitive buzzing
signal until
it is depressed.

The timer can be used in continuous mode . To do so, turn the timer
counterclockwise from the 0 position (continuous mode position is depicted by a
special hand-like marking on the timer dial).
The oven is equipped with aturbine reversing blower fan . Per factory settings,
the
fan cycle consist of 2-minute spin in clockwise direction followed by 30 -
second slow down to full stop part and then 2-minute spin in counterclockwise
direction.
NOTE: The settings can be changed by an authorized service technic i an only
The oven is equipped with a 2-speed motor. To switch between two speeds,
press the speed button.
Opening the door of the oven will result in stopping of the fan motor operation,
which will be resumed automatically after the door is closed .
The SODlR convection ovens can be used for a wide variety of foods . Cooking
times will vary depending on food products, temperature settings and desired
results.
STEAM FEA TURE: For Crusting Pul710ses
This feature is generally used at the beginning of the baking cycle. It works only
when the oven is operating at the temperatures over 200F and the fan is on. To
add steam to the baking chamber, press ONCE the push button located on the
control panel (far right). Pressing the steam button will result in spritzing water
on to the fan for app roximately 5-second time period . Use steam feature to
create perfect crust on the products you are baking off. Moisture not absorbed
by bread products will evaporate through the steam outlet in the back of the
oven.
The steam button has a" memory " feature. If the button is pushed when the
oven is on, but either not at a temperature over 200 F or with the fan motor
stopped, the "smart" steam button will remember. When the proper conditions
occur, the steam feature will automatically be activated without the need to
depress the button again.
