TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY,
All clearances for a proper ventilation air supply
must be maintained to minimize fire hazard. Do not
locate the oven immediately adjacent to any other
heat-generating appliance.

READ THE INSTALLATION,
OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY
BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING
THIS EQUIPMENT.
A number of adjustments are associated with
initial installation and start-up. Adjustments
must be conducted by a qualified service
technician. Installation and start-up adjustments
are the responsibility of the dealer or user.
These adjustments include but are not limited
to thermostat calibration, door adjustment, and
leveling. The Platinum series oven burners are
factory-adjusted with fixed air openings and require
no field adjustment.
LEVELING
The oven should be leveled before
the gas supply is connected. Level the oven from
side-to-side and front-to-back with the use of a
spirit level. For ovens installed on a mobile stand,
it is important that the floor surface be level due to
the probability of frequent oven repositioning.
USE CAUTION WHEN MOVING OR
LEVELING THIS APPLIANCE.
RESTRAINT REQUIREMENTS
—MOBILE EQUIPMENT
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Appliance must be secured
to building structure.
Any appliance that is not furnished with a power
supply cord but includes a set of casters must be
provided with a tether. Adequate means must be
provided to limit the movement of this appliance
without depending on or transmitting stress to the
electrical conduit. The following requirements apply:
1. Casters must be a maximum height of 6" (152mm).
2. Two of the casters must of be the locking type.
3. Such mobile appliances or appliances on mobile
stands must be installed with the use of a flexible
connector secured to the building structure.
A mounting connector for a restraining device
is located on the lower back flange of the appliance
chassis or on an oven stand, approximately
18" (457mm) from the floor. A flexible connector
is not supplied or available from the factory.
We recommend checking the level of the oven
periodically to make certain the floor has not
shifted nor the oven moved.
Where automatically operated appliances are vented through a ventilating hood or
exhaust system equipped with a damper or with a power means of exhaust, provisions
shall be made to allow the equipment to operate only when the damper is open to a
position to properly vent the appliance and when the power means of exhaust is in
operation.

CHEF OPERATING TIPS
The Alto-Shaam convection oven will provide the best results and longest possible
service with the utilization of the following suggestions and guidelines.
NOTE: Moisture will escape around the doors when baking products with a heavy
moisture content such as chicken, potatoes, etc. This is a normal operating condition.
1. Thoroughly preheat the oven for approximately
20 minutes before use.
2. As a general rule, the cooking temperature can be set
lower than the temperature used in a conventional
oven. Cooking time may also be shorter. It is
suggested the first batch of each product prepared be
monitored closely to check for variances.
3. Maintain a record of the temperatures, times, and
load capacities established for products cooked on a
regular basis since they will be the same or similar for
succeeding loads.
4. When practical, start cooking the lowest temperature
products first and gradually work up to products with
a higher cooking temperature.
5. If the cooking temperature setting for the previous
product is more than 10°F (5°C to 6°C) higher
than the temperature needed for the next load,
use the FAN COOL-DOWN feature to decrease
the oven temperature before setting the oven to a
lower temperature.
6. Work as quickly as possible when loading the
oven to prevent heat loss.
7. When the audible signal indicates the time has
expired, remove the food product from the oven
as quickly as possible to avoid over cooking.
8. Pans should be centered between side racks and each
shelf should be loaded evenly to allow proper air
circulation within the oven compartment.
9. To assure even cooking when baking, weigh or
measure the product in each pan.
10. ASC-2E: When cooking five pans of product,
start from the bottom of the oven and use side
rack positions 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9.
ASC-4E: When cooking six pans of product,
start from the bottom of the oven and use side
rack positions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
11. Do not overload the oven. Refer to product/pan
capacties indicated in this manual.
12. To obtain an evenly baked product, muffin pans
should be placed in the oven with the short side of
each pan facing the front of the oven.
13. When rethermalizing frozen casseroles, preheat the
oven 100°F (38°C) over the suggested temperature to
compensate for the introduction of a large quantity of
frozen product into the oven compartment. Reset the
oven is loaded.
14. Use a pan extender or two inch (51mm) deep,
18" x 26" pans for batter-type products that weigh
more than 8 pounds (3 to 4 kg), i.e.; pineapple upsidedown cake.
15. To avoid obstructing airflow that would result in
uneven cooking, never place anything directly on the
bottom of the oven cavity.

CARE AND CLEANING
The cleaning function can usually be accomplished
scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scouring
CAUTION
CLEANING AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
It is important to guard against corrosion
in the care of stainless steel
surfaces. Harsh, corrosive,
or inappropriate chemicals
can completely destroy the
protective surface layer
of stainless steel. Abrasive
pads, steel wool, or metal implements will abrade
surfaces causing damage to this protective coating
and will eventually result in areas of corrosion.
Even water, particularly hard water that contains
high to moderate concentrations of chloride, will
cause oxidation and pitting that result in rust
and corrosion. In addition, many acidic foods
spilled and left to remain on metal surfaces are
contributing factors that will corrode surfaces.
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and
methods are vital to maintaining the appearance
and life of this appliance. Spilled foods should be
removed and the area wiped as soon as possible
but at the very least, a minimum of once a day.
Always thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a
cleaning agent and wipe standing water as quickly
as possible after rinsing.
CLEANING AGENTS
Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for
use on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents
must be chloride-free compounds and must not
contain quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric
acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel surfaces.
Always use the proper cleaning agent at the
manufacturer's recommended strength.
Contact your local cleaning supplier for
product recommendations.
CLEANING MATERIALS
with the proper cleaning agent and a soft, clean
cloth. When more aggressive methods must be
employed, use a non-abrasive scouring pad on
difficult areas and make certain to scrub with the
visible grain of surface metal to avoid surface
pads, or scrapers to remove food residue.
