Installation, Operation and Care of
ELECTRIC CONVECTION OVENS
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
Your Electric Convection Oven is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance of your oven will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the
instructions provided.
GENERAL
The Electric Convection Ovens feature a 500°F thermostat, timer, porcelain interior and a two -speed, 1/2
HP blower motor as standard equipment. Ovens equipped with standard voltages are 208 or 240 V, 60 Hz,
single- or three-phase. Ovens equipped for 480 V, 60 Hz, single- or three-phase electrical speciflcations
are optional.
The Oven is a single cavity oven furnished with flve racks. Independently opening doors are standard;
simultaneously opening doors with chain mechanism underneath are optional. Oven lights with on-off
switch are standard on all models.
An open stand with lower storage rack is available as an option.
Stacked ovens are furnished with either Stacking Kit 426983G1 (8" LEGS) or Stacking Kit 426984G1
(CASTER) for mounting one oven on top of the other.
Additional racks are available as accessories.
Features of the models are shown below:

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the oven, check for possible shipping damage. If the oven is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the speciflcations on the oven data plate,
located on the inside of the top front cover.
Do not use the doors or their handles to lift the oven.
LOCATION
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. For solid
state and digitally controlled models, there must be 18" (45 cm) of clearance on the right side of the oven
from any open ‡ame.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
In the United States, install the oven in accordance with: 1) State and local codes; 2) National Electrical
Code, NFPA-70 (latest edition) and 3) NFPA Standard #96, Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment
(latest edition), available from National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
In Canada, install the oven in accordance with: 1) Local codes; 2) Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
Standard C22.2 No. 1 (latest edition) and 3) Canadian Standard for Commercial Cooking Equipment CSA
Standard C22.2 No.109 (latest edition).
INSTALLING BASIC OVEN
The basic oven must be installed on legs or mounted on a modular stand. Installations on concrete bases
or other supports restricting air circulation underneath the oven is not advisable and may void the warranty.
If using the modular stand, set the oven on the stand after unpacking.
ASSEMBLING THE LEGS TO THE SINGLE OVEN
The legs must be installed on the bottom of the oven. Gently position the oven on its left side, taking care
not to cause scratches or damage.
Attach each of the four leg assemblies to the bottom of the oven with the 24 bolts and lockwashers
(six bolts and lockwashers per leg). Carefully raise the oven to its normal position.
LEVELING
Adjust the legs to ensure that the oven racks are level in the flnal installed position.
CASTERS
If the oven is to be installed on casters, assemble the casters to the legs provided. Then attach the caster-
leg units to the oven at each corner using the 24 bolts and lockwashers (six bolts and lockwashers per
leg). Place the locking casters on the front legs and nonlocking casters on the rear legs.

– 5 –
ASSEMBLING THE STAND TO THE OVEN
Attach each of the four leg assemblies to the bottom of the
oven with the 24 bolts and lockwashers (six per leg). Carefully
raise the oven to the normal position.
Attach the undershelf to the legs with eight bolts and
lockwashers (two per leg).
Install the rack guides into the shelf at the desired locations
(for pan or ‡at rack), then attach the rack supports to the
top end of the rack guides. Attach rack supports to the leg
assembly by removing one middle bolt and reattaching the
back through the end holes in the rack support (Fig. 2).

Make sure that the electrical power supply agrees with the specifications on the oven data plate, the wiring
diagram on the oven and Electrical Data, page 5.
1. Carefully route these leads from the topoven through the bushing through the electrical
access knockoutholes common to both ovens.
 Connect wires X, Y and Z from the upper oven to the lower oven per the wiring diagram. Attach the
power supply conduit to the bottom of the lower oven. Connect the powersupply leads to the line
side of the terminal block on the bottom oven.
 Finally, inspect and check all wiring and terminal connections for tightness or pinch points (cover on
oven frame).
 Refer to reference drawing 426986 supplied with the stacking kit for electrical connection instructions.
 Refer to instructions supplied with the stacking kit for marking the combined electrical load information
to the electrical data plate of the bottom oven.
The ovens are commonly connected to separate power sources. When it’s necessary to connect both
ovens to a single power source, the VCE-STACKWIRES kit is used (00-961571-000G1). This is a
free accessory. It can be ordered with the ovens or separately.

BEFORE FIRST USE (All Models)
Before using the oven for the flrst time, it must be burned off to release any odors that might result from
heating the new surfaces in the chamber.
1. Using a clean damp cloth, wipe the inside of the oven, including the racks.
2. Close the oven doors, turn the MASTER SWITCH to ON, turn the Thermostat to 300°F (149°C) and
allow the oven to cycle for 6 to 8 hours before turning the MASTER SWITCH to OFF.
USING ELECTRICAL MODELS
Preheating
1. Turn MASTER SWITCH to ON. Amber ON light will come on, indicating that power to oven is on.
2. Set Thermostat as desired. Refer to COOKING GUIDELINES for suggested temperatures and times
for various products.
3. Prepare product and place in suitable pans. When white HEAT light goes off, oven has reached
desired preheat temperature.
Cooking
1. Open doors and load the product into the oven. Place pans in the center of the racks. Close doors.
2. Set the Timer. After the preset time lapses, turn Timer to OFF position to stop alarm.
3. When product is done, open doors and carefully remove cooked product from the oven. Care should
be taken when wiping up any spills, as oven is still hot.
End of Day
1. Turn Thermostat to lowest setting.
2. Turn MASTER SWITCH to OVEN COOL. Leave doors open while the fan is on to cool the oven.
3. When oven has cooled sufflciently, turn MASTER SWITCH to OFF and clean the oven.
