Each day, before starting up the oven, prepare it
for the day’s cooking.

The oven must be clean before starting.  (It should
be cleaned at the end of each day, per procedures
given later in this guide.)  Make sure the oven
window is clean – use a mild detergent or an
approved glass cleaner.  (Also, make sure the
fireplace glass is clean in fireplace models – use
razor blade scraper supplied.)

If not done the previous night, before starting the
oven, we recommend you spray all interior
stainless steel surfaces, including inside of the
rotisserie drums, jet plate, and convection fans,
with Jef-Guard or another oven coating: this will
make cleaning the oven much easier at the end of
the day.  DO NOT SPRAY BURNER SURFACE.

In single-door models, a hanging metal burner
shield is installed inside the oven for use during

There is a drip pan at the bottom of the oven.  The
water in this pan has two functions: 1) it helps keep
oven moisture at a constant level, and 2) it catches
food drippings, keeping them from burning onto the
bottom surface of the oven.

The pan must be drained at the end of every
cooking day and refilled at the beginning of the

Make sure the door is closed, then turn the oven
power ON.  The oven controller first displays
“SYSTEM INIT,” which indicates the cooking
controller is functioning properly.  If burner does
not light, a buzzer will sound.  Reset controller by
turning power switch OFF for 5 minutes and then
back ON.

The controller will then display “PREHEAT”
“XXX

°F.”  This message indicates that the Preheat

mode has started.  The current oven temperature

When the oven has reached the programmed
Preheat temperature, the alarm tone will sound for
5 seconds and then go off.  The display will show
“READY” and approximately “300

°F” (or another

temperature if programmed differently).

spraying.  This must be lifted to cover the burner
while the interior of the oven is sprayed with the
protective coating. Make sure this shield is used
every time the oven interior is coated. (Two-door
models are supplied with a loose shield for this
same purpose.)

Inspect the oven to make sure all interior parts are
in good working order and in place.  Make sure
the “jet plate” (which guides the convection air)
is NOT hanging down but is in its normal
position.  (See the drawing in Operator’s Daily
Cleaning/Maintenance section of this manual.)

Make sure the oven is located the minimum
required distance from other equipment and
walls.  There must be a minimum clearance of 3
inches on each side and 3 inches at the back.
(Two door models require 36 inches rear
clearance, except for hearth installations, where
back of unit may be in contact with non-
combustible hearth wall opening.)

next cooking day.  (Refer to Daily
Cleaning/Maintenance later in this guide for
cleaning instructions.)

The drip pan holds 3 gallons of water.  Use fresh
water at the beginning of each day.  Before filling
the pan, make sure the drain valve located below
the oven is closed.

is also displayed (which, if the oven has been idle
for some time, will be room temperature).

In the Preheat mode, the burner will fire at high
heat, the convection fans will be on, the rotor will
turn, and the oven light will be off.  If unit has a
fireplace, the fireplace will be off.

As the oven burner continues firing, the
temperature readout on the control panel will
steadily rise.

The oven is now ready to be loaded.  Refer to the
loading instructions on the next page for loading
details.
