into the environment. ey must be kept free from
obstruction.

2. Oven Cavity

e cavity is construction mainly from stainless
steel and vitreous enameled panel on the door. It
must be kept clean (see CLEANING).

3. Convection Fan

e fan draws air over the heating elements and
into the cavity over the edges of the rear baffle plate,
producing perfect heat distribution for combination
cooking. e metal grill covering the fan must be
kept clean and free of debris (See CLEANING).

4. Air Inlet Filters (Left & Right)

Situated at the left and right hand side of the base
at the front. ese are part of the ventilation system
and must be kept free of obstruction and cleaned
on a daily basis.

is is a rigid bar which is pulled downwards and
towards you to open.

6. Control Panel

See section on control panel.

7. ON/OFF Switch

When switched ON, the control panel will
illuminate. e fan and ventilation system will also
operate.

8. Rating Plate

Found on the rear panel, this states the serial
number, model type, electrical specification and
Garland’s address and telephone number.

9. Door

is is a precision-made energy barrier with three
microwave safety interlocks. It must be kept clean
(see CLEANING section). e door should NOT
be used to support heavy dishes.

MAIN FEATURES Continued

10. Door Seals

ese ensure a tight seal around the door. ey
should be kept clean and checked regularly for signs
of damage. At the first sign of wear they should be
replaced by a Garland approved Service Agent.

11. Temperature Sensor

is monitors the temperature inside the oven. Care
should be taken when cleaning to prevent damage.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Precautions To Avoid Possible Exposure To
Excessive Microwave Energy.

a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the

door open since open-door operation can result
in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.

b) Do not place any object between the oven front

face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.

non-abrasive soaps, or detergents applied with a
sponge or soft cloth.See also cleaning instructions
for oven cavity and door.

16. To reduce risk of fire in the cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic

bags before placing bag in oven.

19. NEVER remove any fixed internal parts of the
oven.

20. NEVER tamper with the control panel, door, seals
or any other part of the oven.

Proper Utensils

IMPORTANT Garland Mealstream Series  oven will
accommodate / size bun/sheet pans. Metal sheet pans
may be used when placed on the special vitreous enamel
shelf rails ONLY, either in Convection only mode or
‘Microwave/Convection’ mode. Rotate pans halfway
through the cooking cycle to ensure microwave energy
completely and evenly reaches each tray. A single tray
will not need rotation.

e Mealstream  oven offers operators the flexibility
of three heating functions; microwave only, convection
only, and combination cooking.

Combination cooking enables high quality results to be
achieved in a fraction of the time taken by conventional
cooking, particularly when baking, browning, roasting,
grilling or producing gratinee dishes.

Once established, precise instructions for combination or
convection cooking of selected items may be programmed
into the ovens memory so that they can be repeated easily
and accurately.

Multi-Stage Programming

e Mealstream  offers even greater flexibility by
allowing multi-stage programming. is enables the
exact conditions required for quality results to be set
according to the food type.

is is only one example of an infinite number of possible
multi-stage programs that can be created and stored.
Programs can have one, two, or three stages.

NOTE: Remember convection temperature takes time
to change. Do not expect an instant response when a
different temperature is activated.

Routine Care

e instructions outlined in this guide are intended
to ensure the safety and long life of your Mealstram
oven.

Your new equipment should be given regular care and
maintenance. Periodic inspections by your dealer or a
qualified service agency are recommended.

Garland/U.S. Range products are not approved or
authorized for home or residential use, but are intended
for commercial applications only. Garland / U.S. Range
will not provide service, warranty, maintenance or support
of any kind other than in commercial applications.

A typical -stage program is shown. e Oven is pre­heated at °F. Stage  begins by applying a gentle
microwave power of % (ideal for defrosting) while
the convection temperature rises to °F. In Stage 
the microwave power increases to maximum (%). In
the final, browning stage the convection temperature is
increased to °F with no microwave energy applied.

Rating Plate

When corresponding with the factory or your local
authorized factory service center regarding service
problems or replacement parts, be sure to refer to the
particular unit by the correct model number (including
the prefix and suffix letters and numbers) and the
warranty serial number. e rating plate affixed to the
unit contains this information.

Before attempting the electrical connection, the rating
pate should be checked to ensure that the unit’s electrical
characteristics and the supply characteristics agree.
