Ventilating Hood
The ideal method of ventilating a convection oven is the use of a properly designed ventilating hood. The hood should extend at least 6‖ beyond all sides of the oven. The hood should
be connected to an adequate mechanical exhaust system.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the
―Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment‖, NFPA No. 96– latest addenda, available from
the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
It is also necessary that sufficient room air ingress be allowed to compensate for the amount
of air removed by the ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormal atmospheric pressure will
occur which may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish the pilot flame. In case
of unsatisfactory oven performance, check with the exhaust fan in the ―OFF‖ position.
Direct Flue Connection
If the oven is connected directly to an outside flue, a draft hood P/N 04391-5 or 04392-3 for
Model 70, 115, SE70 and SE115 series and P/N 03109-7 or 03099-6 for Model 2-70, 2-115,
SE2-70 and SE2-115 series must be used. (See Fig. 2 & 5) The flue should rise at least 10
feet above the roof or any surrounding structure. The flue must be terminated with an U.L.
listed vent cap or spinner.
Clearances
Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle and at the side and back to allow the doors
to open sufficiently to permit the removal of the racks and for serviceability. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided.

CAUTION
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
AIR TO THE OVEN. KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA FREE AND CLEAR
FROM COMBUSTIBLES
Solid state components have a very short life span when exposed to temperatures
above 185°F (85° C), therefore, certain installation precautions are necessary. The
―SE‖ ovens have been designed to operate below this temperature when properly
installed. The following precautions must be observed:
1. Do not obstruct the flow of air through the vent openings at the top of the oven, or
the flow of room air to the oven bottom or lower front portion of the burner access
panel.
2. Do not mount the oven on a curb unless it has been equipped with the No.555 Toe
Base (P/N:06024-0) for this type of installation.
3. When stacking ovens, never reverse the top and bottom oven sections.
4. Never stack an ―SE‖ series convection oven with a standard Vectaire or another
bra brand of oven without first consulting the factory. Certain ovens are not
compatible, or a stacking kit may be required.
SPECIAL CAUTION
DO NOT PLACE HIGH HEAT PRODUCING EQUIPMENT ADJACENT TO THE
RIGHT SIDE OF AN ―SE‖ VECTAIRE CONVECTION OVEN, OR ANY OVEN
EQUIPPED WITH THE IFO FAN CONTROL. SURFACE TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 185°F (85°C) CAN CAUSE PREMATURE COMPONENT FAILURE

INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting oven to the gas supply line, be sure that all new piping has been cleaned
and purged to prevent any foreign matter from being carried into the controls by the gas. In
some cases, filters or drops are recommended. A separate gas shutoff valve must be installed
upstream from the gas pressure regulator adjacent to the oven and be located in an accessible area.
It is important that adequately sized piping be run directly to the point of connection at the
oven, with as few elbows and tees as possible. Consult local gas company for proper piping
size and gas pressure.
Each oven is equipped with an appliance gas pressure regulator. This gas pressure regulator
is factory adjusted for the manifold pressure specified on the name plate.
THIS OVEN IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH A GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR. THE
REGULATOR SUPPLIES WITH THIS UNIT MAY BE USED.
For Natural Gas: This pressure regulator is factory adjusted for 3.5‖- W.C. manifold
pressure. The maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should not exceed 10.5‖ water column.
For Propane Gas: This gas pressure regulator is factory adjusted for 10‖ W.C. manifold
pressure. The maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should not exceed 21‖ water column.
Connect the gas supply line from the service gas shutoff valve to the inlet side of the gas
pressure regulator using 3/4‖ pipe. If flexible or semi-flexible connectors are used, an AGA
Listed flexible connector with an I.D. equal to 3/4‖ pipe must be used. DO NOT USE A
DOMESTIC APPLIANCE TYPE GAS FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR. Avoid kinks or sharp bends
that could restrict gas flow.
PIPE JOINT COMPOUND OR THREAD SEALANT THAT IS USED SHOULD BE
RESISTANT TO ACTION OF LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASES.
Turn gas shutoff valve ―ON‖ and immediately check carefully for gas leaks. Do this before
attempting to operate the oven.
TEST ALL PIPE JOINTS FOR LEAKS BEFORE OPERATING OVEN. THIS INCLUDES ALL
GAS CONNECTIONS THAT MAY HAVE LOOSENED DURING SHIPMENT. USE A RICH
SOAP SOLUTION (OR OTHER ACCEPTED LEAK TESTER) AROUND ALL PIPE CONNEC-
TIONS AND ALL OTHER JOINTS. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. ABSOLUTELY NO
LEAKAGE SHOULD OCCUR, OTHERWISE THERE IS A DANGER OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSION DEPENDING UPON CONDITIONS. NEVER USE IF LEAKAGE IS DETECTED.

INSTALLATION
Model R85 (Refer to Fig. 2, p. 4)
Uncrate oven and base as near to final location as possible. Remove all packing material
and accessories from oven interior. With help from at least two other people, tip the oven slowly
on its side. With the oven lying on its side, hold the front leg securely and align the threaded
stud on the leg with the nut located at the front corner of the accessible side. Insert the leg into
the nut and turn the leg clockwise. Tighten the leg to the oven securely. Rotate the leg counterclockwise slightly to align the two leg plate holes with the holes on the bottom of the oven.
Secure the leg using the provided 3/8‖ bolts and washers. Repeat the procedure for the rear
corner of the side off the ground. Tip the oven up on the secured legs and lean the oven
against a wall so that the legs on the remaining side can be attached. Install the remaining two
legs using the aforesaid procedure. Tip the oven back down on the newly installed legs and
re-tighten all the bolts securely.
A flue detector is supplied in Kit RS1 with the gusset legs. A Draft Hood is also available
as Kit RS2, and replaces the flue deflector. Either a flue deflector or a draft hood must be
installed on the unit. The flue detector is intended for use when the oven in installed under a
properly designed hood. When the oven is directly connected to a vent system, the draft hood
must be used.
When the oven is in permanent position, level entire unit by placing a carpenter’s level
on the oven rack and adjusting the foot on the bottom of each leg so that the oven is level from
front to back and side to side.
Model R2-85 Series (Refer to Figs. 4, 5 & 6, p. 6)

and start the standard timer for the overall cook cycle. Next, push the ―Start‖ switch on the IFO
control. The amber indicator light will come on, the fan will stop, and then cycle on and off every
30 seconds until the set time has expired. The amber light will remain on continuously until the set
time has expired.
Once the amber light is on, additional pushing of the ―Start‖ switch will have no effect. Also the
―Cycle Timer‖ knob does not count down during the IFO cycle, but remains at its setting for
repeat cycle if desired.
To cancel the IFO cycle once started, simply rotate the ―Cycle Timer‖ knob counterclockwise until
it stops.
Once started, the IFO time period can be readjusted by simply repositioning the ―Cycle Timer‖
knob. If the knob is turned counterclockwise to a setting that is less than the current time expired
during the cycle, the cycle will be terminated. To restart a cycle, simply push the ―Start‖ switch.
If it is necessary to open the door during the IFO cycle, the fan will shut off if it is running. The IFO
timed cycle will continue uninterrupted, however, until the set time has expired. If there is a loss of
power during the cycle, it will be terminated.

OPERATION
OPERATION
MOIST AIR CONTROLS & OPERATION (optional)
Moist Air (Steam) Option
The Moist Air option permits the operator to add steam to the oven chamber during the cooking cycle.
This is desirable during baking operations for crusting purposes or to maximize growth during the initial
bake period. It can also be useful for products requiring more moisture during the cook cycle.
Moist Air Components
The Moist Air option includes a water shut-off valve, water regulator/filter assembly, solenoid valve,
steel piping, spray nozzle, steam pan and Moist Air control cluster. During operation, activating controls
causes the solenoid valve to open and heated water to be sprayed into the hot oven chamber where it
is turned into steam. The steam pan converts any excess spray to steam and controls residue accumulation.
INSTALLATION
ATTENTION!
The Moist Air option requires a connection to good quality water that is low in total dissolved
solids and free of particulate matter. A water purification/treatment system must be installed if
harsh water conditions exist. If in doubt, have your water supply checked by a water treatment
company.
The water regulator filter assembly with shut-off valve (supplied with the Moist Air option) should be
wall mounted near the oven so that the four foot removable hose will reach the water connection on
the back of the oven. A permanent 1/2‖ cold water connection should be made at the shut-off valve.
This filter is meant to remove final traces of taint, odor, rust, and scale when used with good quality
water or a water purification/treatment system. It is not a substitute for a water treatment if harsh water conditions exist.
All other normal installation requirements for a Vectaire convection oven, as described in the
―Installation‖ section of the main Vectaire manual, should be followed.
OPERATION
The Moist Air control regulates the spray of water that created
steam in the oven chamber. The duration of the water spray can
be varied from .3 to 30 MOIST AIR seconds. The spray is initiated
by depressing the start switch.
To set the Moist Air controls, first set the ―Cycle Timer‖ knob for
the desired time period. Once the oven has reached temperature,
load the product to be baked and close the door. Immediately set
and start the standard timer for the overall cook cycle. Next, push
the ―Start‖ switch on the Moist Air control. The blue indicator light
will come on, and remain on continuously until the set time has
expired. Steam is being generated in the oven when the light is
on.
Once the blue light is on, additional pushing of the ―Start‖ switch
will have no effect. The ―Cycle Timer‖ knob does not count down, but remains at its setting for repeat
cycle if desired.
14
Page 15
OPERATION
CAUTION
Never attempt to open the oven doors while the Moist Air indicator light is on, and use caution for
at least 5 minutes after the light has gone out. The hot, moist air resulting from the steam
generation could cause serious burns.
Best performance from the Moist Air option is realized at temperatures of 300°F and above. The
Moist Air option is not recommended for use at temperatures below 250°F, and a low-limit control
will not permit activation at temperatures below about 200°F. A full preheat of the oven (1 hour) is
necessary before use. Once at temperature, as many steam cycles can be initiated as desired.
An oven vent control is conveniently located at the top of the control panel. Positioning the lever all
the way to the left closes the vent; to the right opens the vent. For best results, introduce steam
into the oven with the vent closed. After two or three minutes, open the vent to allow the steam to
escape and leave open for the remainder of the bake.
MAINTENANCE
Additional maintenance is required with the Moist Air option to insure trouble-free operation.
The filter cartridge should be replaced every 4-6 months. This can be easily done by closing the
water valve, then loosening the thumb screw at the bottom of the filter bracket.
The spray nozzle is located inside the oven behind the fan baffle. With the fan baffle removed, the
spray nozzle can be removed and disassembled for cleaning. The fine mesh monel screen should
be carefully cleaned with air pressure to remove debris and scale deposits. The grooved distributors inside the nozzle housing should be removed and both pieces checked with a wire to be
certain they are free from any build-up of scale or sediment. Reassemble the nozzle and install.
This should be done every 1-3 months depending on water conditions.
The oven interior should be cleaned daily with warm soapy water to discourage the build-up of
deposits. The use of an abrasive is not recommended.
SERVICE
If the Moist Air option requires service or becomes inoperative, contact the local Authorized
Service Agency.

USING A CONVECTION OVEN
The convection oven is a different type of oven which offers many features and advantages to
the food service operation. The operation of the oven is not difficult to understand or control.
The convection oven is the sealed type whereby the combustion products are separated from
the air inside the oven. The heat is transferred through the oven surface into the cavity. The
air inside the oven is continuously recirculated over the heat source and the product.
The moving air strips away the insulating layer of moisture on the products allowing heat to
penetrate faster for quicker baking and roasting. Due to these differences in the methods of
cooking in a convection oven, procedures and techniques may require some modification for
successful results. A general rule which will assist in better operation, is cooking time will be
less and temperatures should be 25 to 75 degrees lower than those called for in standard
recipes.
For convection oven cooking, reduce temperature 25 to 75 degrees from those
given in standard recipes.

Temperature Time
Baked Products
Cookies 25° 1/4 to 1/3
Cakes & Quick Bread 50° 1/4 to 1/3

GUIDE TO BAKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES
These times and temperatures were especially prepared and tested for use in a Vectaire
convection oven. Times, temperatures, and moisture contents may vary in other convection
ovens. The suggested times and temperatures may vary considerably from those shown.
They are affected by weight of load, recipe, type of pan, size of portion, and calibration of
thermostat. Differences in quality and age of meats and fowl, and quantities of shortening,
milk, fat, and other ingredients in baked goods affect both cooking times and temperatures.
These charts have been compiled carefully. However, they are only guides. You may want to
cook certain foods a little more or a little less according to your preference and your recipe.
Also, types and sizes of pans influence baking time and temperatures.
It is absolutely necessary to use lower temperatures. As a guide, set oven temperatures 2575 degrees lower than called for in your recipes using non-convection ovens.
Use this chart as a guide to develop your own cooking techniques.

Suggestions
Avoid recipes that would not be satisfactory in a regular conventional oven.
Times and temperatures will vary slightly with maximum to minimum oven loads.
Stagger pans in ovens as much as possible to allow the free flow of air.
Pans may be tightly sealed with sheets of aluminum foil. Do not let the foil touch
the food.
Convection ovens usually save 1/4 to 1/3 of the total cooking time. Check product
at one-half of the cooking time of the recipe. Add additional time as needed.
For most products, use a maximum of 5 racks for optimum results.
For less browning, lower temperature; for more browning, increase temperature. If
product cooks too quickly around the edges, lower temperature.
Level pans bake more evenly than warped pans.
Filling pans too full causes uneven baking.
When using frozen entrées, refrigerator-thaw for best results, and cover during
cooking.
Load and unload food quickly. Close oven doors promptly.
The type of pans used affect baking time and results. A shiny pan reflects heat, a
dark dull pan absorbs heat.
When baking fruit pies, use a baking pan on the rack and set pie tins on top of pan.
This will result in evenly cooked bottoms and also catch spillovers.
Baking Difficulties & Problem Causes
Good baking is a delicate operation and many operational factors enter into it.
Pans which warp or buckle under hear always result in poor bakes. Pans with highly polished
reflecting surfaces generally cause light colored bottom or sides. Muffin tin cups should all
rest on a flat surface, otherwise light or underdone bottoms will result. Pie tines that are
pocked or warped will give undesirable results.
Overproofing, working or dough in too high of a room temperature, overworking pastry dough,
absence of or improper scaling, cutting and uneven loading of pans are sure ways of getting
uneven baking.

The complete oven should be given a periodic cleaning. Lint and grease suspended in the air tend to
collect in air passages.
Remove burner compartments access panel and clean any dirt and lint from burner primary air
opening and all air passages and openings. Clean lint and grease accumulation from motor air
openings.
Exterior
PAINTED SURFACE: Allow equipment to cool after use and wash with a mild detergent or soap solution. Dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES: Follow instructions in Stainless Steel section.
Oven Interior
STANDARD FINISH (Porcelain Enamel): Frequent cleaning is required. Spillovers should be cleaned
as soon as possible to prevent carbonizing and a burnt-on condition. Wait until oven is cool for
complete cleaning. Usually a soap or detergent solution is strong enough to remove any grease residue. A mild abrasive nylon cleaning pad may be used for stubborn spillovers or stains. Non-caustic
commercial oven cleaners may be used, but do not allow cleaners to come in contact with the temperature probe. Wipe off all oven cleaner residue.
The racks and rack guides are readily removable for cleaning. Loosen retainer clips to disengage
rack guides for removal.
Foreign matter may collect on the fan blades and reduce circulation. When this becomes apparent,
remove the fan baffle plate which is secured by 4 thumb screws and pull plate up and forward. The
use a stiff brush on each fan blade.
CONTINUOUS CLEAN FINISH: It is readily identified by its dark brown and white speckled finish.
This coating is endowed with a unique cleaning ability that causes food and grease spatters to
gradually clean away automatically when exposed to normal oven temperatures.
Each day, after baking and roasting operations have been completed, empty the oven. Then turn the
temperature control up to high heat. This high heat will speed up the cleaning action and reduce the
time required to clean the oven effectively. The cleaning time necessary will depend up on the ―soil‖
condition the oven. As a general rule, allow from 45 to 60 minutes.
When the oven appears soiled due to heavy staining, we suggest preheating the empty oven each
day for one or two hours for most effective results. Also, ordinary household ammonia has proved an
effective method for removing baked-on build-up, and in keeping the microscopic pores of the
coating open and free to perform its cleaning action. Thus, an occasional light swabbing with household ammonia while oven is at room temperature can prove to be extremely beneficial.

MAINTENANCE
Excessive spillage or crust which is allowed to build up on oven interior surfaces will seriously
retard the continuous cleaning action. It should be wiped away as soon as possible with a
damp cloth.
Although the oven may appear clean, we recommend operating the oven at high heat for
approximately two hours once every month. This will prevent build-up of solids in hard-to-see
places or in the pores of the coating. Caution: Never use abrasives, powders, harsh liquids,
caustics, or dyes as they may leave a film or residue that will clog the pores of the special
coating, and retard the cleaning action.
Certain types of food may leave a stain that is slow to fade. These include flour-milk mixtures,
sugar, macaroni and cheese, cream sauces, and blood. It may take a slightly longer time for
the continuous cleaning action to clean this type of stain. Accelerate removal by using household ammonia while oven is at room temperature.
If excessive soils or spillovers have become carbonized, remove the charred potion with a hard
nylon brush. (Do not use steel or other metallic brushed or scouring pads). For any stubborn
stain or ―varnish‖ film, apply a good grade paste oven cleaner in the following manner:
(1) With the oven at room temperature, apply paste over the spill.
(2) Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes (read instructions on label of product); then wipe up spill.
(3) Reapply if not entirely removed (any film remaining over top of material will prevent self-
cleaning action).
(4) Remove loosened particles with a damp cloth. Note: Steam may be used where it is
available. It is not harmful to the special coating. Always be sure to wipe up any excess
water.
STAINLESS STEEL: To remove normal dirt, grease, or product residue from stainless steel,
use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
To remove grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment,
apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the
polished lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the direction of the
polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR
MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be
removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring
pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will rust
and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL
SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS, SCRAPER, FILE, OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS.
Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring
also increases the possibility of corrosive attack.
22

MAINTENANCE
TO REMOVE HEAT TINT: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces
where the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by
thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can
usually be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for
a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or
a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be
lessened by not applying or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.
Electric Fan Motor
The customized electric fan motor has been specially manufactured for this application and
should under normal conditions give years of trouble-free service.
The unit is supplied with permanently lubricated sealed bearings which require no additional
lubrication. A high temperature grease has also been used to increase bearing life and should
only be replaced by an authorized service station.
The motor is equipped with a built-in thermal overload protector which will warn of any over
heating.
The motor is of an open drip-proof type construction, and as such, care should be given to see
that the ventilation openings remain clear.
If problems do develop with the motor, contact your nearest authorized service station, do not
attempt repairs yourself. This is a special piece of equipment and should only be serviced by
competent persons familiar with the construction.
CAUTION:
CARE SHOULD BE USED WHEN WASHING DOWN EQUIPMENT TO KEEP WATER
AND CLEANING SOLUTIONS OUT OF THE MOTOR OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.

ADJUSTMENT
Main Burner
While your oven has been factory adjusted, it sometimes happens that the actual operating
conditions are different. Therefore, it may be necessary to make a field adjustment to
secure satisfactory performance. The air adjustment should give a medium sharp flame
without lifting or flashback. Air shutter is adjusted by loosening thumb screw and sliding air
shutter left or right. Tighten thumb screw after adjustment. The R85 sheet metal burner has
two air shutters, one for each burner tube.
The orifice on the manifold is the fixed type, sized for the respective gas supply.
Door Adjustment
Procedure:
1. Right hand door on oven does not close when left hand door closes. Loosen turnbuckle
―1‖ and tighten turnbuckle ―2‖.
2. Left hand door on oven does not close when right hand door closes. Loosen turnbuckle
―2‖ and tighten turnbuckle ―1‖.
Note: Half turn on turnbuckle equals approximately 1/2‖ adjustment. When through

WHEN SERVICE IS NEEDED, CONTACT A LOCAL SERVICE COMPANY, DEALER, OR
FACTORY TO PERFORM MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. THESE IN-
STRUCTIONS ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY COMPETENT SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION:
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE DOING ANY SERVICE WORK. EACH OVEN SECTION
HAS A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CONNECTION. TURN OFF GAS SUPPLY
WHEN SERVICING GAS CONTROL SYSTEM.
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
The calibration of the thermostat should not be changed until sufficient experience with
cooking results has proved that the thermostat is not maintaining proper oven temperature.
Before any recalibration is attempted, the oven temperature should be checked using a
good grade thermometer.
GAS THERMOSTAT—Models with suffix ―G‖
The Model FDO Robertshaw is a combination Snap-Throttle Thermostat. When the dial is
set at a temperature, the thermostat will open wide allowing maximum flame at the burner.
As the temperature begins to rise and reach the temperature setting, the thermostat begins
to throttle the gas, cutting down the burner flame to the amount of gas needed to hold the
oven at the set temperature. If the oven is empty or very lightly loaded, the minimum flame
of the burner will continue to rise. When this happens, the thermostat snaps the minimum
flame off. As the temperature drops, the minimum flame will snap on. It is possible to operate the oven at a low temperature and at the same time give you the advantage of a
throttling type thermostat.
By-Pass (Minimum Burner Flame)
THIS ADJUSTMENT MUST BE CHECKED AT THE TIME APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED.
26
Page 27
SERVICE
SERVICE
TO ADJUST BY-PASS (Be sure pilot flame is ignited):
1. With oven cold, turn dial counterclockwise slowly from ―Low-Stop‖ until by-pass seat just
snaps on.
2. Remove dial.
3. With a screwdriver, turn ―By-Pass Adjustment Screw‖ (see sketch) counterclockwise to
increase the by-pass flame to clockwise to decrease it until flame over entire burner is
approximately 1/4‖ high.
4. Replace dial.
CAUTION:
While making this adjustment, if the oven should become heated while the dial is set at a
low range (below 350), the bypass flame will shut off completely. If this occurs, turn dial
counterclockwise slowly until by-pass gas valve snaps on. Then check by-pass adjustment
as stated above.
Thermostat Calibration Check:
1. Place the thermocouple of test instrument or thermometer in the middle of the oven, or
medium to be tested.
2. Light the main burner.
3. Turn dial so 400 lines up with ―Pointer A‖ indicator mark.
4. Allow the oven to heat until flame cuts down to by-pass. After sufficient time, check
temperature. If the temperature does not read within 15 degrees of the dial setting,
recalibrate as follows:
5. Pull dial straight off without turning.
6. Hold calibration plate and loosen the two calibration lock screws until the plate can be
moved independently of the control.
7. Turn calibration plate counterclockwise if the test reading is higher than the dial setting, or
clockwise if the reading is lower than the dial setting. The temperature range between each
mark is 25°F (Between each letter is 50°F).
NOTE: If the adjustment is prevented by the two loosened calibration lock screws being in
contact with the ends of the screw clearance slots in the calibration plate, remove the screws
after turning the calibration plate to the proper location, reassemble screws in the other tapped
holes designed for them.
8. Replace dial.
ELECTRIC THERMOSTAT—Models with Suffix ―E‖ & ―EI‖
1. Place a pyrometer thermometer or a reliable mercury oven type thermometer at the center of
the middle rack.
2. Turn the dial of the cook thermostat to a temperature setting of 350°F.
3. The red cook indicating light will switch from ―ON‖ to ―READY‖ when the thermostat turns off
the burner.
4. Allow three (3) such cycles for the temperature to stabilize.
5. Read the pyrometer or thermometer immediately after the ―READY‖ light comes on for the
third time and again immediately after the ―READY‖ light comes on the next time.
6. If the average readings and the dial setting vary by more than 15°F, recalibrate by following
the instructions outlined below.
27

2. Turn off gas supply to oven. Remove single screw at front of burner on the left side.
3. Slide main burner to the left until venturi clears orifice and pull main burner and pilot
burner out far enough for access to the pilot burner mounting screws.
4. Remove mounting screws from pilot burner and pull main burner the remainder
of the way out.
NOTE: Special attention should be given to the condition of burner baffle (P/N 04344-3).
Due to the high input rating of this burner, after a period of time, the baffle will burn out.
The burner baffle should be replaced before the flame does any damage to the burner
box top plate located above the baffle.
PILOT SERVICE IN THE EVENT OF PILOT FLAME FAILURE
1. If pilot flame burns yellow, clean pilot orifice and pilot burner to insure a steady
blue flame. The orifice can be cleaned by washing in a solvent and/or blowing
out with air.

SAFETY PILOT VALVE
Model H15HQ-5 BASO is an automatic 100%
safety pilot which provides complete gas shut
off in the event of pilot failure. The safety valve
is half closed by spring pressure. When red button
is pushed by hand, gas flows to pilot. Pilot heats
thermocouple creating a very small amount of
electricity. This energizes a magnetic coil under
red button and holds valve open, permitting gas
to flow to main burner and pilot without holding
pressure on red button. In the event of pilot failure,
the flow of electricity will stop and spring will stop
flow of gas to both pilot and main burner.

COMBINATION SAFETY PILOT VALVE & AUTOMATIC GAS VALVE
Safety Pilot Valve Section
The 100% safety shutoff valve operates from millivoltage produced by a thermocouple
properly heated by the pilot flame. In the event of a low, unstable pilot flame or outage,
the safety valve provides complete gas shutoff. The safety valve is held closed by
spring pressure. When red button is depressed by hand, gas flows to pilot. The pilot
flame heats the thermocouple creating a small amount of electricity. This energizes the
magnetic coil under red button and holds valve open as long as thermocouple is heated, permitting gas to flow to main burner and pilot. In event of pilot failure, the flow of
electricity will stop and spring pressure will close valve shutting off flow of gas to both
pilot and main burner.
