BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT Although main burner air is adjusted before shipment, it should be checked at the time of installation. Excessive air will cause flames to lift off a burner when cold or may cause flash-back during normal cycling of oven, particularly when propane gas is used. Insufficient air will cause flames to burn with a yellow tip and result in carbon accumulation in the flame chamber and heat exchanger tubes. Contact your local Vulcan-Hart servicer if required.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR BAKING When baking yeast breads, cooking starts immediately in the convection oven. Yeast breads do not usually rise as much in a convection oven as in a conventional oven. Therefore it is usually necessary 1 to allow fuller proof, 2 /2 to 3 times increase in volume, for best results. When baking pies in your convection oven, three or four pies should be put on an 18 x 26" (457 x 660 mm) sheet or bun pan. This procedure helps the bottom crust to bake, makes handling easier

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES AND TIMES FOR ROASTING Meat roasting is most satisfactory at temperatures of 225 to 325°F (107 to 163°C) for beef, lamb, poultry and ham; 325°F (163°C) for fresh pork as recommended by USDA and American Meat Institute. A pan, approximately 12 x 20 x 1" (305 x 508 x 25 mm) full of water, may be placed in the oven bottom. This water supplies humidity to reduce shrinkage. Water should be added if necessary during roasting. 1 Roasting pans should be no deeper than necessary
