of cleaning. The rotor system, spits, chicken racks or baskets and combination
convection and radiant heat provide thorough cooking and even browning yet
eliminate hot spots. Oven controls provide “Manual” operation where the END TIME
or PROCESS TIME can be preset.
Model TG50-M:
The grease drawer can be completely removed for cleaning. A tempered glass door
on the operator/customer side, and quartz lighting promote visual appeal and
stimulate customer interest.
Model TG110-M, TG330-M and TG550-M:
The grease drawer has a drain plug for elimination of excess fat and can be
completely removed for cleaning. Tempered glass doors, both front and back, and
quartz lighting promote visual appeal and stimulate customer interest.
Doors can be re-hinged; contact your local service agency.

INSTALLATION
Immediately after unpacking the oven, check for possible shipping damage. If oven is
found to be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the
carrier within 15 days of delivery.
TG550-M and TG330-M are secured to the skid with four screws which must be
removed.
WARNING
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the
specifications on the machine data plate located on the right side panel near
the controls. (for the TG50-M on the upper right if you face the back of the
oven)
LOCATION
The oven may be placed where cooking may be observed to enhance customer
awareness, but must be installed on a level surface if the oven or warmer is not on
casters.
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and for proper
operation of the front and rear doors.
WARNING
A minimum wall clearance of 10” (254 mm) from any glass, and 4" (102 mm)
from each side panel must be maintained.
Keep the space around the bottom and the ventilation openings in the top of the units
free of obstacles to guarantee a good air flow in the electrical compartment.
LEVELING
1. Place oven in the installation position and place a carpenter's level on top of
the oven.
2. Turn the adjustable legs to level the oven front-to-back and side-to-side.
WARNING
The oven should not be accessible to the customer. Hot glass and parts can
cause burns.
LEGS/CASTERS
Counter models, TG110-M, TG220-M and TG330-M , are furnished with 11/2" legs.
TG550-M is furnished with 2 swivel and 2 locking swivel casters.

7
ASSEMBLY
Place the two bottom plates in the oven. The two plates slant to the middle to allow
fat to drip into the grease drawer.(See the above figure).
The TG5500-M bottom plates are the same size and equal to the TG330-M.
NOTE: Bottom plate on the customer side is smaller in the top unit of the TG550-M.
The model TG50-M does not feature removable bottom plates.
SUPPLEMENTAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(For model TG550-M)
WARNING
Safety standards require that, when this appliance is properly connected to the
electrical power supply using flexible conduit, adequate means be provided to limit
movement of the appliance without depending on or transmitting stress to the
electrical conduit. This means that, as part of the installation, the unit must be
secured to the building structure (typically either wall or floor) to limit the
movement of the appliance and, thus, helping to prevent damage to the conduit
during cleaning, maintenance and service operations.
A tether bracket, as shown in the figure below, is installed along with the caster to
one corner of the unit. The remaining open hole in the center of the tether bracket is
to be used to secure one end of the tether (locally supplied chain, cable, etc.). The
other end of the tether is to be secured to an anchoring point in the building structure.
Note: Length of tether must be shorter than the flexible conduit to make sure that
during appliance movement, no stress is transmitted to the conduit.
Following installation, check to confirm that, when the appliance is
moved to the limits of the tether in each direction, no stress is
transmitted to the electrical conduit.

8
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
In the United States, all STG series ovens and STW series Warmers or combinations
must be installed according to the following codes:
State and local codes.
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
In Canada, all STG series ovens and STW series Warmers or combinations must be
installed according to the following codes:
Local codes.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable
portions of the national electrical code and / or other local electrical codes.
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch
indicating that you are working on the circuit.
WARNING
Appliances equipped with a flexible electric supply cord are provided with a
three- or four-prong grounding plug. This plug must be connected into a
properly grounded three- or four-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the
proper grounding type, contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding
prong from this plug.
Access the electrical connection point by removing the side panel(s) where the
controls are located.
WARNING
Ensure that the electrical power supply agrees with the specifications on the
oven's data plate and complies with the wiring diagram, located behind the
oven side panel and under the drive motor

BEFORE FIRST USE
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power before cleaning.
Oven must be "burned in" to release any odors that might result from heating the new
oven surfaces.
1. Clean accessories, oven both inside and outside, with warm soapy water. Refer
to "Cleaning" in this manual for further instructions.
2. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Avoid water contact with
quartz lamps.
3. Operate oven at maximum temperature setting of 480°F (249°C) for 45 minutes.
Smoke with an unpleasant odor will normally be given off during this burn-in
period. Provide adequate room ventilation and avoid inhaling.
WARNING
Refer to "Cleaning" in this manual for further instructions how to clean
the quartz lamps.
OPERATION
WARNING
Hot glass, grease, and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating and
servicing the oven.
WARNING

OVEN CONTROLS TG50-M
Thermostat
The thermostat has 2 functions: (A) it activates the quartz lamp, and (B) it controls
the oven temperature. The thermostat knob is graduated from 0 ºF to 480°F (250 ºC),
and the temperature can be set by turning the thermostat knob in a clockwise
direction.
Timer
The timer has 2 functions: it is (A) the power ON/OFF switch, and (B) the timer. Oven
time can be set between 1 and 120 minutes (maximum) by turning the timer knob in a
clockwise direction. When the timer is set between 0 and 15 minutes, only the rotor
will operate so that the oven may be loaded without the fan motor and the healing
elements being on. When the timer is set above 15 minutes, the following two
functions can be selected:
When the thermostat knob is in off position ( ), only the quartz lamp will switch on
for the time selected.
When the thermostat has been set at the required oven temperature, the heating
elements and the fan motor will switch on immediately. The heating elements,
quartz lamp and fan motor will continue to operate for the amount of time you have
selected.
Cooking
1. Refer to Loading accessories into the oven.
2. Close the oven door and keep it closed during the whole process.
3. Set thermostat to the desired temperature.
4. Set the timer to the desired cooking cycle time.
If greater than 15 minutes, set to desired time.
If less than 15 minutes, turn timer past “15”, then turn to desired time.
The oven will begin cooking immediately. After the preset temperature has been
reached, the heating elements will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

12
The quartz lamp, fan and heating elements will turn off when the timer reaches "0."
The rotor will continue to turn until the timer reaches the OFF position (approximately
8 minutes), at which time the bell will give a signal.
