INTRODUCTION

The Roller Grill by Equipex Full Size Convection Ovens — Models FC-100, FC-103,
FC100 G and FC103 G, are uniquely designed to offer quality baking and cooking, with
the “G” series also adding broiling and finishing. These ovens are constructed of food
service quality stainless steel and are equipped with a rear mounted reversing blower
motor and convection heating element. The ovens have a momentary switch for the
manually controlled steam feature and another switch to select full or half fan speed. The
ovens are thermostatically controlled up to 570°F and include a 120-minute timer.
Indicator lights show when the oven is on and when the element(s) is(are) heating, in
addition to two interior lights which operate when the oven is turned on. All models
are equipped with four (4) wire shelves and will accommodate up to four full size
sheet pans (pans not included). Oven air is constantly refreshed, helping to ensure
flavors and tastes are not transferred in the oven between products, allowing several
different dishes to be cooked at the same time. The unit is protected from voltage
spikes and surges by three external fuses located under the rear cover.

The “G” models ha ve all the same features at the standard models, in addi tion to four

(4) top mounted infrared elements that operate at over 1800F when activated. The

“G” model s have a mode switc h to sel ect this feature. When the “G” mode is

activated, the top infrared elements are energized, while the fan continues to circulate
hot air to the lower shelves. In this way, foods on the lower shelves continue
baking/cooking, while the other foods are finished or broiled on the upper shelf.

INSTALLATION

Initial Set-up

Before operating your Equipex Convection Oven, remove all plastic film covering the unit. Failure
to do so may result in melted plastic damaging external parts, which is not covered under warranty.
Clean the unit with warm soapy water using a clean cloth or sponge. The racks and rack holders may
be removed and washed in a pot sink or dishwasher. DO NOT place the unit in a damp area or near
steam sources. Make sure the exterior back cover is not blocked, especially the steam vent. Maintain
four inches clearance at the rear, and at least two inches at each side and top of the oven. Do not
place anything on the oven top. It is mandatory to install the four-inch legs supplied with the oven

before operating. If you wish to use the steam feature, connect the cold-water supply using a ¾ inch
NPT connector (not supplied), to the inlet at the rear back left corner of the oven, under the rear
enclosure. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Connect the oven to the proper dedicated
circuit. Congratulations, your oven is now ready for use!

OPERATION

Preheating

To preheat the convection oven, select the temperature by rotating the thermostat knob clockwise to
the desired temperature setting and then turn the timer knob to the right to at least 20 minutes, or turn
it left to the “constant” on position, designated by the hand symbol. For “G” models, turn the mode
switch to the convection setting, designated by the circle around a fan symbol. A green light will turn
on indicating power, and an orange light will turn on until the heat reaches the set point and then turn
off. It will take 20 minutes to reach saturation temperature with the steel retaining heat during opening
and closing the oven door.

Convection Cooking

This mode uses the rear heating element. For convection cooking or baking, once the oven is
preheated to the desired temperature, turn the timer knob to the right to the desired time setting, or to
the left to the continuous setting indicated by the hand symbol. You can choose to run the convection
motor at full or half speed, by pressing the button below the indicator which shows the switch pressed
in for low speed, and left out for high speed. Low speed is typically used for cooking more delicate
products. During operation the motor will spin in one direction, free spin for 30 seconds to slow down
and then spin for two more minutes in the opposite direction, repeatedly. This ensures the convection
air flow over and around the product is even and consistent, avoiding hot or cold spots possible with
a single direction fan. If using the timer, when the time has expired the timer bell will ding, and the
oven motor and heating element(s) will turn off. The internal timer board will continue to chirp for
several seconds after the oven shuts off as an additional notification of the time expiring. The
continuous setting will allow the oven to run until it is manually turned off. If the oven door is opened
during operation, the motor will shut off to preserve the heat in the oven chamber.

Steam Feature

This feature is typically used at the beginning of the baking cycle to create a perfect crust on products
such as bread. Pressing the momentary switch located beneath the rain cloud symbol will release a
burst of water onto the turbine fan, only after the internal temperature has reached or surpassed 200°F
and the fan is spinning. If the button is pressed when either of these conditions have not been met,
the oven will remember the request and then initiate the function. Moisture not absorbed by the
products will vent through the steam outlet located at the rear of the oven.

Broiling and Finishing

For the “G” models, four quartz tubes are mounted in the top of the oven. This mode is selected by

turning the mode switch to the second position indicated by a fan with triangles over it and setting the
temperature and timer as above. If broiling, preheat the oven first; if finishing, no preheat is necessary.

Defrosting

The “G” models offer a fan only position, indicated by the fan alone symbol. This mode can be used

to run the motor, independent of heat, for the purpose of defrosting products more quickly using the
convection airflow.

CLEANING

WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning

Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. Use a clean cloth dampened slightly with a soap and water
mixture to clean the housing and glass, and all interior parts. The racks and rack guides may be
removed for cleaning in a pot sink or dishwasher. Clean the oven thoroughly at the end of each day.
Failure to do so may cause hard to remove food or grease build up.

The oven door may be removed for cleaning using the following procedure.

OVEN DOOR REMOVAL

Your oven is equipped with a double glass door which is easily removable for cleaning. For cleaning, remove
the door following the steps below:

1. Open the door completely

2. Apply gentle downward pressure on the top of the door while moving each hinge lock to “UP” position, engaging
the “J” hook of the long arm (one lock per hinge)

3. Tilt the door up at a 45-60-degree angle (hinge lever arm will be released)

4. Pull the door out of the hinge slot

*NOTE: What hinge looks like in the open position

Upon removal, the door can be washed or cleaned, both on the inside and on the outside.

OVEN DOOR INSTALLATION

1. Ensure that the notch on the bottom of the hinge fits onto the lip in the opening of the oven frame

2. Move the hinge lock to the “down” position to restore proper hinge operation

3. Do NOT leave the Hinge lock in the “UP” position at the end of installation

NOTE: Incorrect hinge installation positions

OVEN DOOR INSTALLATION COMPLETE

NOTE: Door should be level at the top edge to verify it has been installed properly

DO NOT spray the unit with any cleaning liquid before unplugging it
DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing or around the electrical components
DO NOT immerse in water for cleaning
DO NOT attempt to clean oven until cool

You should inspect all parts on a regular basis to ensure that all is in proper working order. If a part is damaged,
have the unit repaired by an authorized service agency prior to returning the unit to operation. If you have trouble
locating a service agency in your area, please consult our website at www.equipex.com or call us at 1-800-649­7885 and ask for customer service.
