OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, DO NOT apply power or try to operate the unit
until the following preparation is completed.
PREPARATION
Prior to operation, the four legs must be attached to the base of the unit.
NOTE: A minimum clearance of 1 inch must be maintained between the oven and
surrounding surfaces.
LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF CONTROLS
Figure 1. Control Panel
1) MAIN POWER SWITCH: Provides access to the power main and actuates the
blower motor directly.The red lamp within the switch indicates when the power is on.
2) REGULA TING THERMOST A T : Regulates the desired inter nal temperatures,
ranging from 65 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
3) INDICATOR LAMP: Indicates when the desired temperature has been reached.
The lamp illuminates when the heating element is in an active mode.
4) TIMER: The mechanical timer ranges from 0–30 minutes. A single chime signals
the completion of the baking cycle – it does not shut off the oven.When setting
the timer, turn past the 5-minute mark and then to the desired time if less than 5
minutes (optional timer configurations may apply).

OPERATION (Baking Hints)
PREHEAT
Always preheat the oven before baking or roasting.Turn the power switch ON and set
the thermostat to the desired temperature.The red indicator light will turn off when the
selected temperature has been reached. For frozen products, the preheat cycle should
be set 50˚F–75˚F above the suggested cooking temperatures, then reset to the
suggested temperatures when the product is loaded.
TEMPERATURE
Most products require lower temperatures than suggested for deck or range ovens. A
standard temperature reduction of 50˚F is recommended as a starting point. Actual
baking will vary pending product weight and consistency. If the edges of the product
are done and the center is still raw, or if there is extensive color variation, reduce the
thermostat setting by 15–25˚F until the desired results are achieved.Excessive
temperatures will not reduce baking time.
TIME
Convection ovens generally bake 25–40% faster than deck or range ovens, even
though lower temperatures are used.
PRODUCT
Load the oven from the bottom up, centering the pans on the racks.To ensure even
baking, equal amounts of the product should be used. Different amounts of the product
in different pans causes uneven baking.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Wisco ovens are designed to be as trouble and maintenance free as possible.
However, to maintain optimum performance, a regular cleaning schedule should be
observed.
CLEANING OF OVEN
INTERIOR: The stainless steel can be easily cleaned with mild detergent and hot
water on a daily basis. For heavier buildup, a standard “non” abrasive oven cleaner
should be used.
EXTERIOR: The stainless steel and painted exterior should be cleaned with a mild
detergent, glass cleaner, or substitute cleaner that is not abrasive.DO NOT allow
grease or dust particles to accumulate in the louvers. Adequate airflow is essential for
proper cooling of the internal components.
GLASS DOOR: Use only “non” abrasive cleaners and pads.

608 SERVICE/REPAIR GUIDE (Service T echnicians)
NOTE: The ser vice technician should brief him or herself with the instr uctions relating
to the component in question prior to working on this unit.
The unit has been designed to allow access and replacement of most electrical
components by simply removing the outer enclosure, with the exception of the
regulating thermostat, heating element, and high limit thermostat.
CAUTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT PRIOR TO SERVICING.
OUTER ENCLOSURE REMOVAL
REQUIRED TOOLS: Phillips screwdriver
1) REMOVE OUTER ENCLOSURE: Extract the 8 screws on the bottom (4 per side),
13 screws on the back (not the 5 along the base), and loosen the 4 screws across
the top of the front control panel.With the oven facing you, remove the outer
enclosure by first lifting the left side out slightly and up, and then the right.Be sure to
flex the right side enough to allow the internal shroud to clear the cooling fan.
IMPORTANT ENCLOSURE REASSEMBLY NOTE: Check that the entire front flange
on the outer enclosure is between the primary and secondar y front panels, not behind
both of them (see Figure 3).When tightening the 4 screws across the front control
panel, put pressure on the enclosure, keeping it flush against the panel.

TIMER
REQUIRED TOOLS: 1/2" wrench/driver
Phillips screwdriver
1) REMOVE OUTER ENCLOSURE: See Outer Enclosure Removal.
2) REMOVE TIMER KNOB: Knob is a push on/pull off press fit. Pull knob out straight
away from control panel.
3) REMOVE PAL NUT: Use the 1/2" wrench to remove the pal nut, timer dial, and
timer.
TIMER REPLACEMENT NOTE: The timer must be installed with the “TOP” stamp in
the upright position to function properly.
Reverse steps 1–3 to install timer and reassemble oven.
POWER SWITCH
REQUIRED TOOLS: Phillips screwdriver
1) Remove Outer Enclosure: See Outer Enclosure Removal.
2) REMOVE WIRES: The three wires use quick connect terminals that simply push
on/pull off. See Figure 4 for correct wiring of switch.
3) REMOVE POWER SWITCH: Panel mount style, depress finger tabs on top and
bottom of switch and push switch through opening in control panel.
Reverse steps 1–3 to install power switch and reassemble oven.

2) REMOVE WIRES: The two wires use quick connect terminals that simply push
on/pull off.These wires are interchangeable between the two terminals.
3) REMOVE LAMP: Panel mount style, depress finger tabs on each side of lamp
body and push through opening in control panel.
Reverse steps 1–3 to install lamp and reassemble oven.
MOTOR
REQUIRED TOOLS: Phillips screwdriver
3/8" driver w/extension
1/8" Allen wrench
3/32" Allen wrench
5/64" Allen wrench
1) REMOVE OUTER ENCLOSURE: See Outer Enclosure Removal.
2) REMOVE MOTOR MODULE ASSY: Disconnect the 2 black motor leads from the
terminal block. Use the 3/8" dr iver to remove the 8 hex nuts anchoring the motor
module to the heat module and remove as a complete unit.
3) REMOVE MOTOR FROM MOTOR MODULE IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
A. REMOVE BLOWER WHEEL: Use the 1/8" Allen wrench to loosen the set screw
in the blower wheel, then pull the wheel off the motor shaft.When replacing the
blower wheel, there should be roughly 1/8" clearance between the back of the
blower wheel and the shield. The set screw must be aligned on the flat of the
motor shaft when tightened.
B. REMOVE MOTOR: Use the 3/8" driver to remove the 4 10-32 hex nuts holding
motor to motor module.
C. REMOVE COOLING FANS: Major: Use the 3/32" Allen wrench to remove the
fan.When reinstalling the fan, the hub should be flush with the motor shaft end,
and the set screw aligned on the shaft should be flat when tightened. (Minor):
Use the 5/64" Allen wrench to remove the fan.When reinstalling the fan, it
should have 1/16"–1/8" clearance between the hub and the motor end case.
Reverse these steps to install the motor and reassemble the oven.Note: The motor is
installed so that wires come out of the bottom between the fan shrouds.

DOOR HINGE & LATCH
REQUIRED TOOLS: Phillips screwdriver
small screwdriver
The door gasket should fit snugly against the front face of the control panel.The latch
should catch and lock solidly onto the strike plate, sealing the door gasket snugly
against the control panel.
HINGE ADJUSTMENT
1) REMOVE COSMETIC HINGE COVER: The hinge covers are a spring fit and
remove by sliding directly away from the door.It may be necessary to use a small
screwdriver to encourage them initially.
2) ADJUST HINGES: Loosen the 4 screws holding the hinges to the door just enough
to allow repositioning of the ribbed channel locks and door.The door must be open
during the adjustment process.The channel lock should be positioned evenly and
equally on the upper and lower hinge to avoid putting a twist in the door. Use the
number of visible ribs as your positioning guide.See Figure 6.
3) REINSTATE HINGE COVER: There is an offset on one side of the cover.That
offset must face outward toward the front when installed.
