This equipment is designed and sold for commercial use only by personnel trained and experienced
in its operation and is not sold for consumer use in and around the home nor for use directly by

the general public in food service locations.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Unpack the oven and all components from the container. Thoroughly inspect the oven for
damage. If damage is discovered, immediately initiate a claim with the carrier that handled the

shipment. Be sure to remove all the paper protection and packing material prior to heating.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

The ovens are shipped with adjustable feet detached. Install the feet by placing the oven on
its side and screwing the feet into the threaded holes on the bottom of the unit. Contact the

factory for alternate installation methods.

WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection
against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug.

CAUTION
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, SERVICE, OR
MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH. READ
ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS
EQUIPMENT.

The oven is equipped with a thermostat that interrupts power to the heating elements if the
temperature in the control compartment is excessive. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings

on the side panel. These provide cooling air for the controls. If airow to the fan is obstructed,

the thermostat will need to be reset by pressing the reset button on the upper left side of the
rear panel.

CAUTION
DO NOT INSTALL WITHOUT FEET PROVIDED.

The ovens are equipped for the voltage indicated on the nameplate mounted on the bottom
panel. They will operate on alternating current (AC) only.

CAUTION

DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (DC).

-IMPORTANT-

The installation of the oven should conform to the NATIONAL ELECTRIC
CODE AND ALL LOCAL ELECTRICAL ORDINANCES AND THE LOCAL
ELECTRIC COMPANY RULES AND REGULATIONS.

CAUTION

DO NOT PLUG THE OVEN INTO AN OUTLET SUPPLYING ANY VOLTAGE OTHER
THAN WHAT IS INDICATED ON THE NAMEPLATE.

OPERATION

All models are in HOLD mode when initially energized. The case fan will come on and the
heaters will be at 1/4 power. Full power is activated when the timer is set to the desired
cooking time. When the set time has elapsed, the oven will return to the HOLD mode. For fast
heat-up, set the timer to 3 minutes. Once the oven is at operating temperature, it takes only 10
to 15 seconds to get from HOLD temperatures to FULL POWER.

Cheese melter models are supplied with an adjustable shelf and two upper heating elements.
Changing the shelf position an vary the intensity of the heat. The top position is best used for
fast melting of cheese or butter on breads or sandwiches. Center and lower shelf positions are
best suited for more delicate cooking such as seafood. Food products should not be placed
directly on the shelf. A plate tray or sizzle platter should be used.

Warming and toasting ovens are supplied with upper and lower heating elements and a single
position pull-out rack and crumb tray. Food products can be placed directly on the rack. The

rack and crumb tray are removable for easy cleaning.

DAILY CLEANING

Turn the power switch OFF and allow the oven to cool completely. Remove the rack, shelf,
and/or crumb tray. Clean these items with hot soapy water. Clean the interior and exterior
surfaces with a damp cloth and wipe dry.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

If maintenance or service is required, contact your local service company, a factory representative,
or Star Manufacturing..
