INTRODUCTION/INSTALLATION
The SE series Vectaire gas convection ovens are very similar to the Vectaire ovens
Montague has produced for years. The most significant difference is that solid-state electronic
controls are used instead of the electro-mechanical ones commonly used. The result is the most
accurate, responsive, and predictable ovens we have ever offered with the recognized dependabil-
ity of solid-state components.
This special manual is meant to be used as a supplement to the main ―Vectaire Gas
Convection Ovens‖ instruction manual, which should be referenced first for special instructions.
INSTALLATION
Montague’s general installation instruction should be followed. In addition, since solid-state
components have a very short life span when exposed to temperatures above 185°F, (85°C),
certain installation precautions are necessary. The SE ovens have been designed to operate well
below this temperature when installed properly and the following cautions are observed:
SPECIAL CAUTION:
DO NOT PLACE HIGH HEAT PRODUCING EQUIPMENT ADJACENT TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF
AN ―SE‖ VECTAIRE CONVECTION OVEN. EXCEEDING 185°F (85°C), SURFACE
TEMPERATURE CAN CAUSE PREMATURE COMPONENT FAILURE NOT COVERED UNDER
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY. THE OVENS NEED 6‖ MINIMUM CLEARANCE ON THE
RIGHT SIDE BETWEEN SIMILAR OVENS OR OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT. OPTIONAL
INSTALLATION KITS ARE AVAILABLE THAT REDUCE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE
BETWEEN SIMILAR OVENS TO 1‖ AND BETWEEN OTHER EQUIPMENT TO 2‖. CONSULT
FACTORY.
CAUTION
1. Do not obstruct the air out of the vent holes at the top of the
oven, or the flow of fresh room air to the oven bottom or lower
front portion of the burner access cover.
2. Do not mount the oven on a solid curb unless it has been
modified at the factory for this type of operation.
3. When stacking ovens, never reverse the top and bottom ovens.
4. Never stack an SE convection type with a standard Vectaire, or
any other type of oven without first consulting the factory.
Certain ovens are not compatible, or a stacking kit may be
required.

COOKING
ALL SE SERIES MODELS — See Fig. 1
The ―I‖ portion of the control power switch must be depressed for
the oven to operate. The oven display will illuminate (allow for a
short time delay).
The fan side of the ―FAN/OFF/COOL‖ switch should be
depressed in order to begin cooking. The COOL side is only
used to cool down the oven with the doors open and the fan on.
STANDARD MODELS with SUFFIX A
Select the desired cook time by turning the ―TIME‖ set dial
clockwise until the correct time appears in the control display.
The display shows minutes and seconds up to an hour (―MM‖ will
appear in the display), and automatically switches to hours and
minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours, (―HR‖ will appear in the
display). Before starting, the time digits will flash in the display.
Start the timer by momentarily depressing the ―TIMER START/
CANCEL‖ key. The time digits will now count down while only
the colon will flash. When the timer reaches zero, a repeating
beep will sound until the ―TIMER START/CANCEL‖ key is
depressed. Time can be adjusted, if desired, during a timed cycle
simply by rotating the ―TIME‖ set dial.
Select the desired cook temperature by turning the
―TEMP‖ set dial clockwise until the correct temperature appears
in the upper right hand portion of the display window. A tempera-
ture from 150°F to 500°F can be selected in 5°F increments.
Once a temperature has been selected, the fan will come
on, a ―COOK‖ symbol will show in the display window, the red
cycle indicator light will come on and the oven will begin preheat-
ing to the set temperature. The set temperature will flash in the
window until the oven has reached temperature, at which time it
will become constant and the cycle indicator light will go out.
To change the set temperature at any time, simply turn the
―TEMP‖ set dial until the new temperature appears in the display
window. To turn the oven off, turn the ―TEMP‖ set dial counter-
clockwise until the temperature display shows 000°.
The actual measured oven temperature can be checked
by depressing and holding the ―TEMP‖ key. The actual oven tem-
perature will be displayed in the set temperature window until the
―TEMP‖ key is released, and the display will show the previously
set temperature.

COOKING
EXAMPLE 1– Cook at 345°F for 2 hours and 15 minutes:
1. Turn ―TIME‖ set dial clockwise (past 59:55 MN) until 2:15
HR appears in the display.
2. Turn ―TEMP‖ set dial clockwise until 345° appears in the
display.
3. The oven will come on and begin preheating. The display
will flash.
4. Once at temperature, the oven can be loaded and the
―TIMER START/CANCEL‖ key pushed.
5. When time has expired, push the ―TIMER START/
CANCEL‖ key to turn off the beep alarm.
PROGRAMMABLE Models with AUFFIX AP
Programmable models have all of the manual
operation features of the standard models plus the ability to
store up to six different cook times and temperatures for
future use. The key pad is shown in Fig. 2. In addition to the
six program keys, there is a separate ―TIMER START‖ and
―CANCEL‖ key. The ―CANCEL‖ key is now used to cancel
the timer beep alarm and to clear our any preprogrammed
information on the display.
In addition, these models also include a repeat feature
that resets the prior time period when the ―TIMER START‖
key is used to cancel the beep alarm instead of the
―CANCEL‖ key.
To program a time and temperature, depress and hold
down the desired ―PGM‖ key. The program number of the
key depressed will appear in the bottom of the display
window. With your other hand, turn the ―TIME‖ set dial until
the correct time appears in the display window. Do the same
with the ―TEMP‖ set dial until the correct temperature
appears in the upper right hand corner of the display win-
dow. Release the program key and this information is now
stored.
Upon releasing the ―PGM‖ key, the oven will automati-
cally begin preheating to the set temperature. If you do not
wish to cook at this time, simply push the ―CANCEL‖ key to
clear the program from the display and then zero out the
temperature display by turning the ―TEMP‖ set dial counter-
clockwise. The oven will then shut off.

and 325°‖.
5. To shut off oven instead of preheating, zero out
the temp and time displays with the set dials
and press the ―CANCEL‖ key.
To recall a program for future use, simply depress
the desired ―PGM‖ key. The stored time and tem-
perature will appear in the display along with the
number of the program selected, and the oven will
begin preheating.
EXAMPLE 3— Recall program 1:
1. Depress ―PGM 1‖ key.
2. Display window will show ―PGM 1, 35:00 MN,
325° and COOK‖.
3. Oven will begin preheating.
During a programmed cook, once the timer has
been started, the ―TIME‖ and ―TEMP‖ set dials
become inoperable to prevent accidental tampering
until the programmed cook cycle has been
completed.
To remove or purge a program from the memory,
simply depress and hold the desired ―PGM‖ key
while turning the ―TIME‖ and ―TEMP‖ set dials
counterclockwise until these displays show zero.
Release the ―PGM‖ key and momentarily depress
the ―CANCEL‖ key to clear the program from the
display window.

COOK-N-HOLD Models with Suffix AH
Cook-n-Hold models have all the standard and
programmable model features plus the option of
selecting the fan speed and cooking mode. A
continuous high speed fan is used during the COOK
mode, a continuous low speed fan is used for the
ROAST mode and an intermittent low speed fan is
used during the HOLD mode.
The Cook-n-Hold key pad is shown to the left. The
―COOK/HIGH FAN‖, ―ROAST/LOW FAN‖ and
―HOLD‖ keys are positioned on the right side.
An important difference with the Cook-n-Hold
control is that you must first select the cooking
mode before you dial you desired temperature.
This is done by momentarily depressing the ―COOK/
HIGH FAN‖, ―ROAST/LOW FAN‖, or ―HOLD‖ key and
then immediately (within 3 to 5 seconds) begin turn-
ing the ―TEMP‖ set dial until the correct temperature
appears in the display window. The cook time is set
in the normal manner.
EXAMPLE 5– Set a roast temp of 275°F for 45
minutes at low fan:
1. Depress the ―ROAST/LOW FAN‖ key.
2. Immediately turn the ―TEMP‖ set dial clockwise
until 275° appears in the display window. The
oven will begin preheating.
3. Turn the ―TIME set dial clockwise until 45:00 MN
appears in the display.
4. The display will show ―45:00 MN, ROAST, and
275°‖.

If no cooking mode is selected, or if more than 3 to 5 seconds
elapse after depressing the ―ROAST/LOW FAN‖ key control
will automatically revert to the ―COOK/HIGH FAN‖ mode and
the word ―COOK‖ will appear in the display window.
To program either a COOK or ROAST time and temperature
into memory, proceed as with the programmable models, only
select the cooking mode before depressing the program key.
EXAMPLE 6– Program 225°F bake at low fan for 40 mins into
PGM 2:
1. Depress the ―ROAST/LOW FAN‖ key. The word ―ROAST‖
will appear in the display.
2. Immediately depress and HOLD the ―PGM 2‖ key. The
word ―PGM 2‖ will appear in the display.
3. Turn the ―TEMP‖ set dial clockwise until 225° appears in
the display.
4. Turn the ―TIME‖ set dial clockwise until 40:00 MN appears
in the display.
5. Release the ―PGM 2‖ key. This time and temperature are
now stored in ―PGM 2‖ for future use.
6. To shut off oven instead of preheating, zero out the temp
and time displays with the set dials and press the
―CANCEL‖ key are previously described.
Programming in the COOK mode is identical except you
would depress the ―COOK/HIGH FAN‖ key and the word
―COOK‖ would show in the display. Either a ―COOK/HIGH
FAN‖ or a ―ROAST/LOW FAN‖ temperature can be stored in
any ―PGM‖ key but not both in the same key.
The Cook-n-Hold feature can be used in either the manual or
programmable modes. The HOLD mode cannot be used by
itself but must be preceded by either a COOK or ROAST
cycle.
A Cook-n-Hold cycle consists of three distinct cooking phases
linked together. In the first phase, product is cooked at select-
ed time and temperature where the fan runs continuously at
either high or low speed. The second phase begins as soon
as the cook time reaches zero and continues until the oven
reaches the HOLD set temperature. During this phase,
neither the fan nor the burner is operating. The third phase
begins as soon as the HOLD temperature is reached. Several
intermittent beeps are signaled by the alarm and the timer will
now begin counting up from zero to a maximum of 24 hours,
During this phase, the fan speed automatically switches to
low and only comes on when burner ignites.

To manually set a Cook-n-Hold cycle, first momentarily
depress either the ―COOK/HIGH FAN‖ or ―ROAST/LOW FAN‖
key and immediately begin turning the ―TEMP‖ set dial until the
desired temperature appears in the display window. Next, set
the desired time using the ―TIME‖ set dial. The oven will come
on and begin preheating. The display will show either the word
―COOK‖ or ―ROAST‖ and the set time and temperature will
flash.
Now momentarily depress the ―HOLD‖ key and the word
―HOLD‖ will appear in the display. Immediately begin turning
the ―TEMP‖ set dial until the desired HOLD temperature is
displayed. HOLD time does not need to be set. The display will
return to the COOK or ROAST information after a short delay.
The word ―HOLD‖ will blink on and off as a reminder that a
HOLD temperature has been set. To review the HOLD set
temperature, momentarily depress the ―HOLD‖ button at any
time.
EXAMPLE 7–
Manually set a Cook-n-Hold cycle at 325°F on high fan for 2
hours and 45 minutes followed by a hold at 155°F:
1. Momentarily depress the ―COOK/HIGH FAN‖ key.
2. Immediately begin turning the ―TEMP‖ set dial clockwise
until 325° appears in the display.
3. Turn the ―TIME‖ set dial clockwise (past 59:55 MN) until
2:45 HR appears in the display.
4. The display will show the word ―COOK‖, and ―2:45‖ and
―325°‖ will be flashing. The oven will then begin preheating.
5. Momentarily depress the ―HOLD‖ key.
6. Immediately turn the ―TEMP‖ set dial clockwise until 155°
appears in the display. The display will show ―HOLD, 00:00
and 155°‖.
7. The display will automatically revert back to the COOK
mode after a short delay and display the COOK time and
set temperature. The word ―HOLD‖ will blink on and off.
A Cook-n-Hold cycle can also be programmed into a
program key. First momentarily depress either the ―ROAST/
LOW FAN‖ or ―COOK/HIGH FAN‖ key. Immediately depress
and hold the desired ―PGM‖ key. With your other hand, turn the
―TEMP‖ set dial clockwise until the desired temperature is
displayed, and the ―TIME‖ set dial until the desired time is
displayed, release the ―PGM‖ key. The oven will now begin pre-
heating and the display will show the program selected and ei-
ther the word ―COOK‖ or ―ROAST‖ while the time and tem-
perature selected will flash. To continue programming, next
momentarily depress the ―HOLD‖ key and then immediately
depress and hold the same ―PGM‖ key. Use the ―TEMP‖ set
dial to your desired HOLD temperature in the display. The
display should read ―00:00, PGM(#), HOLD, (and the HOLD
temperature)‖. Now release the ―PGM‖ key.
