INITIAL PREHEAT
INITIAL PREHEAT
Prior to putting any range or oven into full time operation at normal cooking
temperatures, it must be thoroughly dried out. Moisture absorption in the closed
spaces, in the insulation, and even inside the heating elements can cause future
trouble if not properly treated.
French Plates
To “dry out” the French plates, set the 6-heat switch to position three. Allow the unit
to operate at least 15 minutes at this heat level. Set the 6-heat switch to position four
and allow another 15 minutes to elapse. Set the 6-heat to position six and allow the
unit to maintain the temperature for a minimum of 4 hours. More time may be
required if the unit has to operate in a moist environment.
If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be
used, especially when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
Ovens
To “dry out” the oven, set the thermostat to 350
°F and turn both 3-heat switches to
the low position. Turn on the power switch and allow the oven to saturate until all
vapor and condensation has been eliminated. For best operating results allow the
range oven to thoroughly dry out. More time may be required if the unit has to
operate in a moist environment.
If the unit is out of use for three or more days, a one-hour preheat schedule should be
used, especially when exposed to high humidity and/or cool temperatures.
