4.2 Operation procedures
4.2.1 Before cooking
The oven must be preheated to cooking temperature before actual cooking begins. This is
to heat the whole oven to the correct temperature so as to ensure the best possible cooking
results.
• Put the guide rails in place.
• Turn the main switch on. The green light turns on.
• Set both thermostats at 250ºC, if the oven is loaded to max. capacity with cold
products. (After loading the oven, required roasting temperature is set.) If smaller
amounts of products are roasted, the preheating can be done with the roasting tem-
perature.
• When the door is closed, the oven will remain hot for a long time, even though it
is not switched on.
4.2.2 How to select cooking temperature
Cooking time depends on food quality, weight and thickness. The shallower the food to
be cooked is, the shorter the cooking time. See “Cooking tips” later in this chapter.
4.2.3 Using the oven
If the oven is used on board a ship, the oven guide rails must be positioned inside the oven
so that the clip which prevents the ovenware from sliding out of the guide is on the door
side. Should the clip be against the rear wall inside the oven, remove the rails and swap
them around.
There may be a main supply disconnection switch fitted near the oven (usually on the
wall) when the oven was installed. Ensure that this switch is in the ON position.
Oven functions are operated from the control panel (see Figure “Control panel switches”
in Chapter “Functional description/Operating principle”).
4.2.4 Cooking
• Carefully preheat the oven as instructed in “Before cooking”.
• Turn the handle to open the oven door. To close the door, push the handle until you
hear a distinct click.
• Put the food in the oven.
• Set both thermostat switches (see Figure “Control panel switches”) at the required
cooking temperature.
• When the products are ready, you can take them out of the oven.
• Switch the power off at the main switch (see Figure “Control panel switches”)
• Open the door.
