OPERATION (Baking Hints)
PREHEAT
Always preheat the oven before baking or roasting.Turn the power switch ON and set
the thermostat to the desired temperature.The red indicator light will turn off when the
selected temperature has been reached. For frozen products, the preheat cycle should
be set 50˚F–75˚F above the suggested cooking temperatures, then reset to the
suggested temperatures when the product is loaded.
TEMPERATURE
Most products require lower temperatures than suggested for deck or range ovens. A
standard temperature reduction of 50˚F is recommended as a starting point. Actual
baking will vary pending product weight and consistency. If the edges of the product
are done and the center is still raw, or if there is extensive color variation, reduce the
thermostat setting by 15–25˚F until the desired results are achieved. Excessive
temperatures will not reduce baking time.
TIME
Convection ovens generally bake 25–40% faster than deck or range ovens, even
though lower temperatures are used.
PRODUCT
Load the oven from the bottom up, centering the pans on the racks.To ensure even
baking, equal amounts of the product should be used. Different amounts of the product
in different pans causes uneven baking.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Wisco ovens are designed to be as trouble and maintenance free as possible.
However, to maintain optimum performance, a regular cleaning schedule should be
observed.
CLEANING OF OVEN
INTERIOR: The stainless steel can be easily cleaned with mild detergent and hot
water on a daily basis. For heavier buildup, a standard “non” abrasive oven cleaner
should be used.
EXTERIOR: The stainless steel and painted exterior should be cleaned with a mild
detergent, glass cleaner, or substitute cleaner that is not abrasive. DO NOT allow
grease or dust particles to accumulate in the louvers. Adequate airflow is essential for
proper cooling of the internal components.
GLASS DOOR: Use only “non” abrasive cleaners and pads.
