GAS CONNECTIONS
Gas supply connections and pipe joint compound must be suitable for sealing piping for propane or
natural gases.
The oven is provided with a regulator integral to the gas solenoid valve and requires no external
regulator.
The manual gas shutoff valve is located at the bottom of the front control panel.
The oven should be connected to the gas line after leveling. The gas supply line must be at least the
equivalent of 3/4" (19mm) iron pipe. Make sure piping is clean and free of obstructions, dirt or pipe joint
compound.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
The oven and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The oven must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the manual shutoff valve during
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

Gas Pressures and Orifices
Natural Gas
The burner orifices are sized to deliver the nameplate input rating (40,000 Btu/hr) at a gas manifold
pressure of 3.5" W.C (0.8 kPa). The gas pressure regulator is integral to the gas solenoid valve
and is factory set to supply 3.5" W.C. (0.8 kPa) as required for natural gas.
Propane Gas
The burner orifices are sized to deliver the nameplate input rating (40,000 Btu/hr) at a gas manifold
pressure of 10" W.C (2.5 kPa). The gas pressure regulator is integral to the gas solenoid valve and
is factory set to supply 10" W.C. (2.5 kPa) as required for propane gas.
BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
The HGC40D oven burner has fixed, factory-adjusted air openings and requires no field adjustment.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
Ventilation requirements will vary with each installation and must comply with applicable portions of
NFPA Standard #96, "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," and with local codes. Keep in mind
that:
The oven should be located under a hood which has an adequate connection to an exhaust duct
and extends 6" (152.4mm) beyond the oven sides.
Clearance above the oven flue should be adequate for the flue products to escape so that there is
no interference with the heat circulation in the ovens.
Ovens may use an optional down draft diverter flue method. This optional down draft diverter must
be purchased from the oven manufacturer and vented to the outside; otherwise, the installation of
any such device will void all oven certifications and warranties. When the diverter is supplied, it
may be connected to a Type “B” vent.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the oven for the first time, it must be "burned in" to release any odors that might result from
heating the new surfaces in the chamber.
Using a clean damp cloth, wipe the inside of the oven, including the racks.
Close the oven doors, turn the ON/OFF/COOLDOWN switch ON, turn the thermostat to
300°F (149°C) and allow the oven to cycle for 6 to 8 hours before turning the switch OFF.

LIGHTING THE DGC1 AND HGC40/HGC60 OVENS
Turn manual gas valve ON. Turn ON/OFF/COOLDOWN switch ON and turn thermostat to its maximum
setting. Both the ON and HEAT lights should come on. If HEAT light is not on, make sure door is closed.
After 5 seconds, the spark ignition system will start and the solenoid valve will open, allowing gas to
flow to the burner for 7 seconds. This 5-second purge and 7-second ignition trial will repeat up to two
more times if the burner does not light within the first 7-second ignition trial. During this 5-second
prepurge, the red NO IGNITION light will be lit.
When the burner gas ignites, a slight "roar" will be heard. This "roar" is a normal condition of the power
burner and will become almost undetectable in the normal operating mode after warm-up. The NO
IGNITION light will go off when ignition occurs.
If the burner fails to light after three trials, the red NO IGNITION light will be lit and remain on. Turn
ON/OFF/COOLDOWN switch OFF for five minutes before repeating lighting sequence previously
described.
If the burner does not light after three trials, turn off the manual gas valve and call a qualified servicer.

Pulse Button
Selects the pulse time setting. A cook time must be set first. The pulse time can then
be set equal to or less than the cook time. The pulse time will be the portion of cook time
to operate in the pulse mode. Pulse mode will start first. When pulse time elapses, the
remainder of the cook time will be in the non-pulse mode.
Use when cooking delicate product, such as strudel, muffins, cupcakes, meringue pies,
etc., to keep product from forming "waves" on the top.
Use the Pulse Button to switch between the selection of pulse mode and no pulse mode
time setting. A pulse mode time of zero means no pulse mode will occur.
The light in the Pulse Button will be lit when in the pulse mode.
In Pulse Mode:
1. The fan cycles (45 seconds ON and 45 seconds OFF) for the duration of the
pulse cycle time.
2. The fan stays on while the heat cycles in hold mode.
3. The fan stays on while heat cycles at 100% power when not timing.
4. Can be switched at any time.
Stop/Start Button
1. Initiates timing a product in the mode selected if a cook time has been set.
2. Stops timing of a product if a timing sequence has already started.
Hold Button
Selects Hold mode.
1. Allows selection of hold temperature.
2. Temperature indication of ---°F (---°C) indicates no hold mode.
Hold Button Light
Is lit when in the Hold mode.

COOK AND HOLD OPERATION
Cook and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage Cooking, the oven temperature is
regulated by the Cook thermostat for the amount of time set on the Cook Timer. After the lapsed time
counts down to 00:00, Second Stage Cooking begins. During Second Stage Cooking, the burners are
off as the temperature in the oven declines to the Hold Temperature. The doors should remain closed
during Second Stage Cooking.
When the Hold temperature is reached, cooking is done. The Time Display counts up the Hold time
and flashes "Hold." Temperature in the oven will be maintained at the Hold temperature until the oven
is turned off.

PROPER UTENSILS
The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and light weight pans allow the
product to warm faster. Roast meats in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices yet allow free air
circulation.
CONSERVING ENERGY
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Turn off unused equipment.
Adjust menu patterns and cooking/baking schedules for optimum equipment use.
Reduce thermostat settings in slack periods since gas equipment heats up and recovers quickly.
Preheat only to required cooking temperature for specific food — not higher.
Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary.
Keep area around the oven door clean and free of food particles.
Any obstruction that prevents the door from closing completely will adversely affect oven efficiency.
OPERATING HINTS
When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness
periodically before the suggested time has elapsed, to make sure the desired doneness is achieved.
Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide
consistent, repeatable results.
The convection oven is a bit faster than conventional deck-type ovens; temperature settings are lower
and cook times are shorter. Since recipes and foods are subject to many variations and tastes, the
guidelines regarding Times and Temperatures in this manual are SUGGESTIONS ONLY. Experiment
with your food products to determine the cooking temperatures and times that give you the best results.
CLEANING
WARNING: TURN OVEN OFF AND UNPLUG ELECTRICAL CORD BEFORE CLEANING.
Clean outside of the oven daily by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
Clean porcelain oven interior daily with soap or detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
with a soft clean cloth.
Optional Stainless Steel Oven Interior
Soap or detergent and water usually handle routine cleaning. Rinse thoroughly, dry with a soft clean
cloth.
For burned-on foods and grease which resist simple soap and water cleaning, an abrasive cleanser
(scouring powder) mixed into a paste may be used. Apply with stainless steel wool or sponge, always
rubbing with the "grain."
This treatment is equally effective for "heat tint" (slightly darkened areas caused by oxidation). Again,
remember to rub in the direction of the polish lines. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft cloth.

FOR BEST RESULTS
Product to be cooked should be centered on the oven rack, and the racks should be spaced evenly within the
oven cavity.
It is best not to rotate the product or open the doors during the cooking cycle.
Preheat oven to 50°F (10°C) higher than desired cooking temperature. After the oven is loaded, close the door
and set thermostat to desired cooking temperature.
Make adjustments in the time, temperature and fan speed settings until the desired results are obtained. Adjust
only one setting at a time. For example, if the product is too dark on the outside and not done on the inside, it
is cooking too fast. Try reducing the temperature by 25°F (-3.9°C).
These cooking charts will be helpful in arriving at time, temperature and fan speed settings for products commonly
cooked in convection ovens, but since each user’s perception of how a particular product should be finished
will be different, it may be necessary to make adjustments in the settings until the desired results are obtained.
When the desired results are obtained, make a note of the settings used for a particular recipe and product
load. For example, if the user typically bakes four 18" x 26" (45.7cm x 66cm) sheet cakes using 5 lb. (2.26 kg)
of batter for each cake, that would constitute a typical product load for that recipe. If the size of the load is
changed, it may affect the final results. If the user changes either the weight of the cakes being baked, or the
number of cakes being baked at a time, it may be necessary to make further adjustments in the time or
temperature settings to achieve the desired results.
