An oven is an enclosed compartment for heating, baking or drying. It is most commonly used in cooking
Use
1. Select and make the proper rack arrangement for the product to be cooked.
2. Turn or push the main power switch on (gas oven—turn burner valve on). Set the thermostat to the recommended temperature. The thermostat signal light will light when the power goes on.
3. Preheat oven until the thermostat signal light goes out indicating that the oven has reached the desired temperature.
(NOTE: To conserve energy, do not turn on the oven until absolutely necessary— approximately 15 minutes before actual cooking is to start.)
4. Open the oven doors and load the oven quickly to prevent excessive loss
of heat. Load the oven from the top, centering the pans on the rack toward the front of the oven. Place partial loads in the center of the oven. Allow 1 to 2 inches of space between the pans and along
the oven sides to permit good air circulation. Remember— overloading is the major cause of
non-uniform baking and roasting.
5. Close the oven doors and set the timer for the desired cooking time. Check periodically until the product is ready for removal.
Care and Cleaning
Keep the inside of the oven and racks clean. If food particles or carbon accumulates so that doors cannot be tightly closed, heat is wasted and the oven will not operate properly.
Poorly closed doors permit a constant escape of steam and vapor around the door. The vapor will condense and deteriorate the finish around the oven front and door lining. The rule for all electrical appliances is to make sure the proper tag-out procedures have been followed.
When cleaning the interior of the oven, it is important to bear in mind that the aluminum coating, though tightly adherent, is still a coating.
To preserve the coating and to make maintenance easier, clean the interior daily when the oven is cold with a mild detergent or soap and water. This will prevent food and dirt from “baking on” and will frequently be all the cleaning that is necessary. If soil resists soap and water cleaning, use a wooden tool to loosen spillage from the cold oven. Follow with a none touching cleaner that is specifically recommended for aluminized steel. Use clear water to rinse; dry with a soft clean cloth. Avoid using wire brushes and caustic solutions such as lye, soda ash, or ammonia.
