OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT IS THE CONVECTION COOKING PROCESS?
• Convection is the process of cooking with hot air that is mechanically circulated by a fan in a continuous pattern around the food.
• Cooking results can be faster than cooking charts suggest and food should be checked for doneness perhaps ve to fteen minutes early.
• Oven temperatures should be lowered 25°F in most cases.
• Multiple racks of food can be cooked at the same time with even browning and even cooking times.
Other Features:
• This oven can be used at low temperatures to dehydrate food, warm plates or for very slow cooking at a low heat.
HOW AND WHEN TO COOK ON STANDARD BAKE MODE
1. Bake - The standard Bake mode is best used for roasting, or single rack applications. If you wish to cook on multiple racks, use convection for terric results.
Oven Racks: Each oven is supplied with two heavy chrome-plated adjustable oven racks.
Rack Supports: On each side of the oven, heavy chrome-plated rack supports allow ve positions, numbered from the bottom up.
Oven Control Knob: The oven control knob is used to set the Baking temperature or to select the Broil function. During baking, the convection fan may be activated.
Broil Burner Igniter: The igniter glows a very hot, bright red-orange color, reaching proper ignition temperature to light the Ceramic Tile Infrared Broil Burner.
ELECTRIC OVENS
Broil: Ribbon element located in the oven ceiling, becomes red hot in just a few seconds.
Bake: A ribbon element, below the oor of the oven when the element cycles "ON."
Selector Switch and Indicator Light: Rotate this knob from the OFF position and select Convection Bake, Standard Bake, Fan-Only, or Broil modes. In any mode position,
the Indicator Light glows indicating the Oven is ready to operate. When you’re done, always rotate the knob to the OFF position.
Oven Thermostat Knob: Thermostat Temperature Selection - Select your desired temperature.
On Indicator Light: Whenever an oven heat source is activated (either Bake or Broil), the “on” indicator will glow. It is normal for the indicator light to cycle off and on
during baking or broiling – showing that more heat is being applied.
Door Gasket: The door gasket is made from high temperature materials and creates a seal between the hot oven and the cool kitchen.
Convection Fan and Switch: Operated by the front panel switch, the convection fan circulates oven air, removing the “thermal boundary layer” on items being baked – and
in doing so – speeding up heat transfer and cook time by as much as 25%. Convection is active only during baking.
Oven Light and Switch: A single lamp is provided in the oven to illuminate baked and broiled food items, as well as shed some light on the wall to help during clean-up –
activated by the front panel switch.
OVENS 101
The oven is a temperature controlled cooking cavity which is highly insulated to keep the kitchen cool and the food hot. The oven contains two heat sources: Bake, positioned
below the oven oor, and Broil, located in the ceiling of the oven. Bake and Broil are very different cooking operations and the burners are designed to deliver energy in a
way appropriate to the task.
There are two types of baking - called Standard Bake (or conventional) and Convection Bake. Standard baking make the best use of Grandma’s cookie, cake or pie recipes
– such as Bake at 350ºF for forty-ve minutes – to get the job done. These recipes are tried and true – conventional or standard bake will deliver wonderful performance
for roasting.
In convection cooking, not only is the cook time faster, but also, the oven temperature is more even, top to bottom and side to side - so cookies on several racks will have the
same brown color and texture. Food does not need to be rotated to get uniform color. However, to best take advantage of convection, use low, shallow bake ware so that
moving air can get over the sides and up to the food surface.

TO USE THE “PROOF” FEATURE:
• The lower oven of a double oven unit is equipped with a "Proof" feature. When placed in the proof mode the oven maintains a warm, non-drafty environment
useful for proong yeast-leavened baking products. The oven is heated by a ceiling mounted electric heating element and specially designed reector assembly.
• It is recommended to proof on the lowest rack position, so place an oven rack on the bottom rack position before turning the oven to "Proof."
• To set the lower oven for proong, simply rotate the lower oven selector switch to the "Proof" setting. The indicator lights above the selector switch and
the thermostat dial will turn on. Turn the lower oven thermostat dial to "Proof".
• The ideal temperature for proong will be maintained until the selector switch is rotated to the OFF position.
• Set a minute timer for the minimum proof time and place the product to be proofed on the lower rack. Do not open the oven door unnecessarily, as
doing so will lower the oven temperature and increase proong time.
• Do not use the "Proof" mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proong feature will not keep the oven hot enough to hold foods at
safe temperatures (above 140ºF).
• If the "Proof" temperatures are too high, the oven cavity lamps can be used to create even lower temperatures - ranging from room temperature to 80ºF - 85ºF.
Simply turn on the lamp and close the door.

TO USE THE BROILER:
• When using broil, the rack position depends on the food, and the thickness of the meat. Rack position one is at the bottom of the oven, and
the positions number up as a ladder with six being at the top.
• The oven door remains closed during broil.
• Most broiling uses rack positions three or four counting from the bottom.
• Turn selector to broil.
• Push in oven knob and turn to the broil setting, the blue indicator light will come on.
• When the broiler is hot the light turns off.
• When inspecting the food, open the oven door no more than two inches. For best results, broil small, at cuts of meat such as steaks, ham-
burgers, chops or boneless chicken breasts.

DRYING AND DEHYDRATING
The United States Department of Agriculture advises: DO NOT hold foods at temperature between 40ºF to 140ºF more than two hours – and cooking
raw foods below 275ºF is not recommended. The low setting of the oven (ranging from 150ºF to 225ºF) may be used to keep food hot and in special
recipes, used to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.
During dehydration, the convection fans circulates hot air over the food, causes moisture to escape from the food surface – generally drying it out. This re-
moval of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and slows down the activity of enzymes. Starting with only the freshest, best quality food items, prepare
as directed and:
• Place the food on drying racks spaced evenly in the oven cavity.
• Set the temperature control to 200ºF and switch on the convection fan.
• Remember to periodically check the food items for dryness state.
DEFROST
It is best to defrost in the refrigerator, but sometimes it becomes an issue of speed.

It is always easier to clean as you go – and while some evenings you’d rather sit down with a good book instead of a Scrubbie, keeping your
appliance in a ready-to-go state for the next meal makes everything a little more tolerable.
When cleaning the extention:
0 Use the mildest procedure that will do the job efciently and effectively – and since some cleaners are harsher than others, it is best to try them on a small, incon-
spicuous area rst.
0 Use only clean, soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, plastic brushes, non-metal soap pads for cleaning and scouring.
0 When cleaning the oven door, control panel, curved sections or the at top area – always pretend it is made of wood – and
rub the nish in the direction of the grain. This is the most effective cleaning direction, to prevent marring the surface.
0 Any part of this appliance can be cleaned with hot, sudsy water. When rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly.
0 Always wipe dry immediately to reduce the appearance of water marks.
TO CLEAN THE OVEN INTERIOR
The oven cavity is porcelainized with Chrome rack guides and racks. The infrared broiler does not need to be cleaned. Any soil is burned off by the intense heat.
0 Place a medium glass baking dish lled with one quart of water, in the oven. Close the door and bake at 225
o
F for an hour or two. Allow to cool until safe, wipe
with a damp cloth, them dry. This process softens the soil for easier removal.
0 Wash the interior of the oven with soap and water. Make a paste with baking soda and water, and using a sponge or nylon pad, rub away stubborn stains.
0 Use mild scrubbing compounds such as Bon Ami or Cameo, if necessary.
0 Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive sponges or scrubbers.
0 If necessary, spray on oven cleaner can be used.
DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER INTO THE CONVECTION FANS OR UP ONTO THE INFRARED BROILER.
DO NOT LET SPRAY CONTACT THE STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR.
0 When spray on oven cleaners are used, follow using a 1/4 cup vinegar mixed with one quart of water to rinse the oven.
0 Do not use scouring powders on the glass window; oven spray may be used on the window. Rinse with vinegar and water solution.

INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION
• INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION is the unique convection system created by American Range engineers.
• INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION uses two fans at the back of the oven to circulate hot air more
evenly around the oven. Air is also vented into the oven through side vents to create a more uniform
and fast cooking process. Circulating hot air reaches all areas of the oven and eliminates any hot or cold spots.
• The 30" oven is 30,000 BTU/hr and the broil-only element is 15,500 BTU/hr.
• The 18" oven is 22,000 BTU/hr and the broil-only element is 13,000 BTU/hr.
• The Bake Burner is rated at 2,200 Watts, the Broil Burner is 3,500 Watts.
OVEN FEATURES:
• Your new Professional Wall Oven is equipped with a separate bake and a separate broil burner.
• Each oven has its own temperature control knob that cycles the burners off and on to maintain the
proper heat.
• All models have six rack positions and the large 30" oven includes two racks.
• When cooking with INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION, any rack is suitable.
HOW TO COOK WITH INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION:
INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION fan-circulated hot air browns all food surfaces quickly.
1. The circulating hot air seals in the juices in meats and vegetables.
2. This cooking process eliminates the need to baste with additional fat or juices.
3. Meat and poultry are roasted in an uncovered shallow pan that allows the circulating hot air to quickly brown all food surfaces.
4. This roasting process enhances avors and keeps the inside of food moist and juicy.
5. For best results when cooking with INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION we recommend that low-sided pans be used.
6. Circulating hot air needs to reach all sides of the food for the best cooking results.
7. It is suggested that the oven temperature be lowered 25° for all recipes and to reduce the cooking time by 10 to 15%.
8. Multiple racks of food can be successfully cooked at one time such as three racks of cookies or breads.
9. A meal of meat and vegetables, cooked on different racks, all at the same time saves time and conserves energy.
10. For best results always preheat the oven before INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION baking.
11. There is always a condensation that occurs during cooking and water could appear on the cooler panel outside of the oven.
12. Caution should be used when opening the oven door during the cooking. For best results, resist opening the oven door as it
lets heat escape, requiring the oven to cycle on more than necessary.
HOW AND WHEN TO COOK ON STANDARD BAKE MODE
1. Bake - The standard Bake mode is best used for roasting, or single rack applications. If you wish to cook on multiple racks, use
convection for terric results.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE OVEN(S)
The oven bake and broil burners have an infrared glow igniter and safety system that lights the gas. There is
approximately a thirty second delay for the igniter to heat up after the knob is pushed in and set before the
gas will ow. After the gas begins to ow it is normal for the burner to light within four seconds.
SINGLE GAS WALL OVENS & THE UPPER OVEN OF A DOUBLE GAS WALL OVEN UNIT HAVE THREE
COOKING METHODS AVAILABLE:
INNOVECTION
®
- CONVECTION
• Traditional Bake
• Broil
• Fan – Cool Down (utilized to cool your oven temperature rapidly)
THE LOWER OVEN OF A DOUBLE GAS WALL OVEN HAS THE FOLLOWING
COOKING MODES AVAILABLE:
• CONVECTION
• Bake
• Proof (used to "proof" bread dough)
• Fan – Cool Down (used to cool your oven temperature rapidly)
WHAT IS THE CONVECTION COOKING PROCESS?
• Convection is the process of cooking with hot air that is mechanically circulated by a fan in a
continuous pattern around the food.
• Cooking results can be faster than cooking charts suggest and food should be checked for
doneness perhaps ve to fteen minutes early.
• Oven temperatures should be lowered 25°F in most cases.
• Multiple racks of food can be cooked at the same time with even browning and even cooking times.
Other Features:
• This oven can be used at low temperatures to dehydrate food, warm plates or for very slow cooking
at a low heat.
• Use only the fan to defrost frozen foods.

Legacy Wall Ovens Use & Care Manual
MODEL AND PARTS IDENTIFICATION
Oven Racks: Each oven is supplied with two heavy chrome-
plated adjustable oven racks.
Rack Supports: On each side of the oven, heavy chrome-plated
rack supports allow ve positions, numbered from the bottom
up.
Oven Control Knob: The oven control knob is used to set the
Baking temperature or to select the Broil function. During baking,
the convection fan may be activated.
GAS OVENS
Bake: The Bake element or burner is located on the bottom of
the oven, below the oor and is activated by the Oven Control
Knob.
Ceramic Tile Infrared Broil Burner: Positioned in the oven
ceiling, burning gas heats the ceramic tile to a temperature of
1,550ºF – creating searing heat similar to the glowing coals of a
wood re.
Broil Burner Igniter: The igniter glows a very hot, bright red-
orange color, reaching proper ignition temperature to light the
Ceramic Tile Infrared Broil Burner.
ELECTRIC OVENS
Broil: Ribbon element located in the oven ceiling, becomes red
hot in just a few seconds.
Bake: A ribbon element can be seen below the oor of the
oven when the element cycles "ON."
Selector Switch and Indicator Light: Rotate this knob from
the OFF position and select Convection Bake, Standard Bake,
Fan-Only, or Broil modes. In any mode position, the Indicator
Light glows indicating the Oven is ready to operate. When you’re
done, always rotate the knob to the OFF position.
Oven Thermostat Knob: Thermostat Temperature Selection
- Select your desired temperature.
On Indicator Light: Whenever an oven heat source is
activated (either Bake or Broil), the "on" indicator will glow. It is
normal for the indicator light to cycle off and on during baking or
broiling – showing that more heat is being applied.
Door Gasket: The door gasket is made from high temperature
materials and creates a seal between the hot oven and the cool
kitchen.
Convection Fan and Switch: Operated by the front panel
switch, the convection fan circulates oven air, removing the
“thermal boundary layer” on items being baked – and in doing
so – speeding up heat transfer and cook time by as much as 25%.
Convection is active only during baking.
Oven Light and Switch: A single lamp is provided in the oven
to illuminate baked and broiled food items, as well as shed some
light on the wall to help during clean-up – activated by the front
panel switch.

Legacy Wall Ovens Use & Care Manual
OVEN OPERATION
To start the oven, push in and turn the thermostat to the desired operating temperature from 200ºF to 500ºF. On a gas oven, you may
be able to see a bright glow from the sides of the oven bottom - this is normal and indicates the hot surface igniter is activated. Once the
igniter is hot enough for ignition, the gas valve will open, allowing the ow of gas into the bake burner. This may take up to one minute. On
an electric oven, you will see the ribbon element below the glass on the oven oor glow.
During the rst few minutes of operation, a mild condensation may appear on the interior glass pane of the door window. Water vapor
is a normal by-product of combustion, and the condensation will disappear as the oven warms.
Allow the oven to preheat before use. The control panel light will turn off when preheat is complete. After preheat, the light will cycle on
and off whenever the oven is heating.
Never place any pan or food item on the bottom of the oven, always use an oven rack.
To use the Broil feature of the range, rst consider what type of broiling you would like to perform. The closer you are to the broil burner,
the faster you will evaporate moisture from the surface of food and the quicker the surface will brown. In a similar fashion, the further
away you place the food (on the lowest rack, for example) the slower you will evaporate surface moisture and the longer it will take for
the surface to brown. A good rule of thumb is to start about 6” away from the broiler and watch for how quickly the food is browning.
BROILER OPERATION
To begin broiling, push in and turn the thermostat to the position labeled BROIL on the control knob. In about twenty seconds, you will
see a bright glow in the oven - this is the hot surface igniter. Once the igniter is hot enough for ignition, the gas valve will open, allowing the
ow of gas into the broil burner. This may take up to one minute.
The broiler will have a blue ame that covers the ceramic tiles – after a few minutes, the tiles will glow bright red/orange and radiate infrared
energy. Remember the red surface is over 1800ºF in temperature and can be a source of serious burns or injury.
On an electric oven, you can see the ribbon element glow on the roof of the oven cell. This takes just a few seconds.
The Bake burner and Broil burner will not operate at the same time; the convection fan will not operate during Broiling.
OVENS 101
The oven is a temperature controlled cooking cavity which is highly insulated to keep the kitchen cool and the food hot. The oven contains
two heat sources - Bake, positioned below the oven oor, and Broil, located in the ceiling of the oven. Bake and Broil are very different
cooking operations and the burners are designed to deliver energy in a way appropriate to the task.
There are two types of baking - called Standard Bake (or conventional) and Convection Bake. Standard baking make the best use of
Grandma’s cookie, cake or pie recipes – such as Bake at 350ºF for forty-ve minutes – to get the job done. These recipes are tried and
true – conventional or standard bake will deliver wonderful performance for roasting.
In convection cooking, not only is the cook time faster, but also, the oven temperature is more even, top to bottom and side to side - so
cookies on several racks will have the same brown color and texture. Food does not need to be rotated to get uniform color. However, to
best take advantage of convection, use low, shallow bake ware so that moving air can get over the sides and up to the food surface. Foods
in covered dishes (like casseroles or pot roasts) do not benet from convection cooking.

Legacy Wall Ovens Use & Care Manual
TO USE THE “PROOF” FEATURE:
• The lower oven of a double oven unit is equipped with a "Proof" feature. When placed in the proof mode the oven maintains
a warm, non-drafty environment useful for proong yeast-leavened baking products. The oven is heated by a ceiling mounted
electric heating element and specially designed reector assembly.
• It is recommended to proof on the lowest rack position, so place an oven rack on the bottom rack position before turning the
oven to "Proof."
• To set the lower oven for proong, simply rotate the lower oven selector switch to the "Proof" setting. The indicator lights
above the selector switch and the thermostat dial will turn on. Turn the lower oven thermostat dial to "Proof".
• The ideal temperature for proong will be maintained until the selector switch is rotated to the OFF position.
• Set a minute timer for the minimum proof time and place the product to be proofed on the lower rack. Do not open the oven
door unnecessarily as doing so will lower the oven temperature and increase proong time.
• Do not use the "Proof" mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proong feature will not keep the oven hot enough
to hold foods at safe temperatures (above 140ºF).
• If the "Proof" temperatures are too high, the oven cavity lamps can be used to create even lower temperatures - ranging from
room temperature to 80ºF - 85ºF. Simply turn on the lamp and close the door.

TO USE THE BROILER:
• When using broil, the rack position depends on the food, and the thickness of the meat. Rack position one
is at the bottom of the oven, and the positions number up as a ladder with six being at the top.
• The oven door remains closed during broil.
• Most broiling uses rack positions three or four counting from the bottom.
• Turn selector to broil.
• Push in oven knob and turn to the broil setting, the blue indicator light will come on.
• When the broiler is hot the light turns off.
• When inspecting the food, open the oven door no more than two inches. The burner turns off but will
re-ignite in four seconds when the door is closed.
• For best results, broil small, at cuts of meat such as steaks, hamburgers, chops or boneless chicken breasts.

DRYING AND DEHYDRATING
The United States Department of Agriculture advises: DO NOT hold foods at temperature between 40ºF to 140ºF more than two
hours – and cooking raw foods below 275ºF is not recommended, the low setting of the oven (ranging from 150ºF to 225ºF)
may be used to keep food hot and in special recipes, used to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.
During dehydration, the convection fans circulates hot air over the food, causes moisture to escape from the food surface – generally
drying it out. This removal of water inhibits growth of microorganisms and slows down the activity of enzymes. Starting with only the
freshest, best quality food items, prepare as directed and:
• Place the food on drying racks spaced evenly in the oven cavity.
• Set the temperature control to 200ºF and switch on the convection fan.
• Remember to periodically check the food items for dryness state.
DEFROST
To speed the defrost process, place in oven and select FAN. This will defrost without cooking. Remember, it is best to defrost in the
refrigerator, but sometimes it becomes an issue of speed.

CARE AND CLEANING
It is always easier to clean as you go – and while some evenings you’d rather sit down with a good book instead of a Scrubbie, keeping
your appliance in a ready-to-go-state for the next meal makes everything a little more tolerable.
When cleaning the range:
0 Use the mildest procedure that will do the job efciently and effectively – and since some cleaners are harsher than others, it
is best to try them on a small, inconspicuous area rst.
0 Use only clean, soft cloths, sponges, paper towels, plastic brushes, non-metal soap pads for cleaning and scouring.
0 When cleaning the oven door, control panel, curved sections or the at top area – always pretend it is made of wood – and
rub the nish in the direction of the grain. This is the most effective cleaning direction, to prevent marring the surface.
0 Any part of this appliance can be cleaned with hot, sudsy water. When rinsing is required, rinse thoroughly.
0 Always wipe dry immediately to reduce the appearance of water marks.
TO CLEAN THE OVEN
The oven cavity is porcelainized with Chrome rack guides and racks. The infrared broiler does not need to be cleaned. Any soil is burned
off by the intense heat.
0 Place a medium glass baking dish lled with one quart of water. Close the door and bake at 225
o
F for an hour or two. Allow to
cool until safe, wipe with a damp cloth, them dry. This process softens the soil for easier removal.
0 Wash the interior of the oven with soap and water. Make a paste with baking soda and water, and using a sponge or nylon pad
rub away stubborn stains.
0 Use mild scrubbing compounds such as Bon Ami or Cameo if necessary.
0 Do not use steel wool pads or abrasive sponges or scrubbers.
0 If necessary, spray oven cleaner can be used.
DO NOT SPRAY OVEN CLEANER INTO THE CONVECTION FANS OR UP ONTO THE INFRARED BROILER.
DO NOT LET SPRAY CONTACT THE STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR.
0 When spray oven cleaners are used, follow using a 1/4 cup vinegar mixed with one quart of water to rinse the oven.
0 Do not use scouring powders on the glass window; oven spray may be used on the window. Rinse with vinegar and water
solution.
