carbon monoxide can be released around the oven. Asphyxiation or suffocation can
occur if gas is not ventilated properly.

Before using this appliance for the first time, contact your local gas supplier for
instructions about what to do if you smell gas. Post those instructions somewhere
near the oven, so that everyone who uses or works near the oven knows what to do
if they smell gas.

Clearance to Combustibles

Observe proper clearance to combustibles as noted on the oven rating tag. Never
place anything on top of the oven. The flues on top of the oven should be a
minimum horizontal distance of 6 inches from any combustible material. Never
place any combustible materials above the top of the oven. Never use any solvents
near the oven. The open flame inside the oven could ignite solvent fumes, resulting
in a fire or explosion.

Controller Operation

The DRG-40 contains a single-stage cook and hold timer/temperature controller that has 5 cook program s and 5
modes of operation. This section explains the operating modes and programming of the control ler.

Modes

Ready Mode

This mode is used to inform the operator that the oven temperature is at the initial temperature (Ready Range) for
a particular program. Ready mode is entered following the initial warm-up period after power-up or when a new
program is selected. In case of changing to a new program the oven may have to cool down or warm up to reach
the initial oven temperature for the newly selected program. When the oven temperature enters the Ready Range
for the current program, the display will flash “rEdy” and an audible alert will sound. At this time the display will
alternate between the ready message and the current oven temperature. With the oven temperature in the Ready

Range, a cycle may be started by pressing the START/STOP button.
Stop Mode

To enter the stop mode while a timing cycle is not in progress, press and hold the START/STOP button for one
(1) second. The display will alternate between “STOP” and the oven temperature.

To enter the stop mode while a timing cycle is in progress, press and hold the START/STOP button for two (2)
seconds. The controller will enter the ready mode after one (1) second. Continuing to hold the START/STOP
button for an additional (1) second will put the controller in the stop mode.

To exit the stop mode, press the START/STOP button. If the oven temperature is in the Ready Range, the
audible alert will sound. If the oven temperature is not in the Ready Range, the display will show the “too Hot” or
too CooL” message as applicable. When the oven temperature again reaches the Ready Range, the audible
alert will sound and the oven will be in the ready mode.

Cook Mode

The cook mode may be entered at any time. Press the START/STOP button to begin a programmed timed cycle.
While timing the cooking cycle, the display will alternate between the time remaining and the actual tempera t ure.
When the time remaining reaches zero, the controller will alarm and flash the message “donE”.

If hold mode is disabled for this program, the unit will continue to alarm until the START/STOP button is pressed,
which will then cancel the current cycle and the controller will enter the stop mode.

If hold mode is enabled, the audible alert will sound for five (5) seconds or until a button is pressed. The unit will
then go into hold mode.

To cancel a cycle in progress, press and hold the START/STOP button for one (1) second. To restart a cycle with
the same programs, press the START/STOP button.

Hold Mode

When the unit enters hold mode, the display will show “HoLd” for one (1) second, the accumulated time for two
(2) seconds, and the oven temperature for one (1) second. The oven temperature will be regulated to the
programmed hold temperature setting.

When the accumulated hold time reaches the hold time setting, the display will flash the message “HoLd donE”
and alarm until a button is pressed. The control will now enter the stop mode. The hold cycle may be canceled by
pressing the START/STOP button for one (1) second.

Review Mode

While a cycle is in progress, the operator may enter the review mode and review and/or change a setting for any
program. This is done by momentarily pressing the REVIEW button, then pressing the ITEM SELECT button for
the desired item program. The display will be blank, and the program LED will flash. The operator may then press
the function button and review/change the setting. If a button is not pressed within five (5) seconds, the controller
will exit review mode. The cycle will continue to count accordingly (up or down) while in review mode.
