cooking technology. The baking process is so fast that food retains its natural juices. Bread products
brown and become crisp while vegetables retain their color and texture.
Flash
Bake ovens use visible and infrared light energy to cook by radiative heat transfer. The infrared
energy browns the surface of the food, while the visible light energy penetrates and heats it internally.
Using the proper combination of visible and infrared light energy, the
efficient, high-speed baking and high quality food.

Bake oven may be ordered with a 6 foot (1829 mm) power cord for receptacle
INSTALLATION
Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the rating plate
located on the rear of the oven. If the supply and specifications do not agree, do not proceed with the
installation. Contact your dealer or your local Hobart-authorized service office immediately.
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the oven is found to be damaged,
save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Check to make sure you have the following items:
1. Oven (1) 5. Cooking guide (1)
2. 16" (406.5 mm) stainless steel grill (1) 6. Lamp shield scraper (1)
3. Upper lamp shield (1) 7. Menu cards (3)
4. Instructions Manual (1)
LOCATION
When deciding oven placement, be sure to consider clearance and available air for oven cooling. If the
inlet air is obstructed or heated, the oven will not operate properly.
Install the oven on a level countertop.
There must be a 3" (76 mm) minimum clearance on each side of the oven. The area behind the oven
around the blower must be kept clear of obstructions and allow free air circulation.
Make sure the cord can be plugged into the appropriate outlet.

The HFB6
Bake oven must be installed in accordance with:
In the United States of America:
1. State and local codes.
2. National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ASSEMBLY
Install the upper lamp shield into the oven cavity. Be sure the shield is pushed all the way back and
is lying flat in the channels. Refer to REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE TOP LAMP SHIELD, page
13.
Place the grill on the rollers.
EXHAUST DUCT INSTALLATION
A length of flexible exhaust duct may be attached to the oven to vent hot air out of the area. Attach
the duct to the blower assembly (Fig. 1).
The other end of the duct can be vented into an existing hood, or to the outside in a manner consistent
with local building codes.
The exhaust duct must not be less
than 4" (
10.1 cm) diameter, and a
recommended maximum length of 6
182.9 cm). The duct should be
feet (
made of metal, suitable for high
