S T A R T - U P O P E R A T I O N
BEFORE INITIAL USE:
Interior oven surfaces must be heated to remove
surface oils and the accompanying odor produced
during the first use of the oven.
1. Wipe all wire shelves, side racks and the full
oven interior with a clean, damp cloth. Install
the oven side racks, oven shelves, wood chip
tray, and external drip tray. Shelves are
installed with the curved edge toward the back
of the oven. Insert the drip pan on the interior
bottom surface of the oven.
2. Close the oven doors, press the power switch
to the ON position, and set the thermostat to
300°F (149°C).
3. Allow the oven to cycle for approximately 2
hours or until no odor is detected.
PREHEATING:
Always preheat the oven for a minimum of 20
minutes before cooking product. Follow the
operating instructions indicated on the next page
of this manual.

COOKING OVEN CHARACTERISTICS:
The oven is equipped with a special, high heat
density, heating cable. Through the Halo Heat
concept, the heating cable is mounted against
the walls of the cooking cavity to provide an
evenly applied, thermostatically controlled,
heat source. The design and operational
characteristics of the oven eliminate the need
for a moisture pan or a heat circulating fan.
Through even heat application, the quality of a
food product is maintained for many hours.
