FLUE CONNECTION  
Ventilation requirements will vary with each installation and must comply withVapor Removal from Cooking  
Equipment, NFPA-96 (latest edition) and with local codes. Considerations to be kept in mind include:  
• Flue connections should never be made directly to the oven.  
• The oven should be located under a hood which has an adequate connection to an exhaust duct and  
extends 6" (15 cm) 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 heat circulation in the ovens.  
OPERATION  
The oven and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing  
the oven.

LIGHTING THE GCO2D OVEN  
Open the manual valve. Turn the MASTER switch ON and turn the thermostat to its maximum setting. Both  
the ON and HEAT lights should be lit. If the HEAT light is not on, make sure the door is closed.  
After 5 seconds, the spark ignition system will initiate and the solenoid valve will open, allowing gas flow  
to the burner for a period of 7 seconds. This 5 second purge and 7 second ignition trial will repeat itself up  
to two more times if the burner does not light within the first 7 second ignition trial. During the 5 second  
prepurge, the red NO IGNITION light will be lit.  
When the burner gas ignites, a slight roar will be audible. 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 illuminated and remain on. Turn  
the MASTER switch OFF for five minutes before repeating the operating sequence listed above.  
If burners do not light after five trials, turn off the manual valve and call a qualified servicer.  
BEFORE FIRST USE

ROAST AND HOLD OPERATION — GCO2C OVEN  
Roast and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage Cooking, the oven temperature is  
regulated by the Roast thermostat for the amount of time set on the 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 door 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 are recommended  
since it is more economical to bake with lighter pans.  
Meats should be roasted in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices and allow free air circulation.  
CONSERVING ENERGY  
Turn off unused equipment.  
Adjust menu patterns and cooking or baking schedules for optimum equipment use.  
Reduce thermostat settings in slack periods since gas equipment heats up and recovers quickly.  
Preheat only to the required cooking temperature for the specific food, not higher.  
Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary. Use the window to observe cooking  
progress.  
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 lapsed 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  
procedures.  
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout  
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 and 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 inside  
the oven.  
It is best not to rotate the product or open the door during the cooking cycle.  
Preheat the oven to 50 F° (28 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 and temperature 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, the  
oven is too hot. Reduce the temperature by 25 F° (14 C°).  
These cooking charts will be helpful in arriving at time and temperature settings for products commonly  
cooked in convection ovens, but 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 four 18 x 26" (45.7 x 66 cm) sheet cakes using 5 lb. (2.26 kg) of batter for each cake,  
constitutes a typical product load and the size of the load is changed, the final results may be affected. If  
either the weight of the cakes being baked or the number of cakes being baked at one time changes, it may  
be necessary to make further adjustments in the time or temperature settings to achieve the desired  
results.  
– 19 –  
 
MAINTENANCE  
The oven and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing  
the oven.  
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout  
procedures.  
LUBRICATION  
The fan motor comes with sealed bearings and requires no lubrication.  
The door hinges and mechanism require occasional lubrication with mineral oil.  
DISCONNECTING THE GAS LINE RESTRAINT  
If this oven is placed on casters, it should be connected to the supply piping with the proper disconnect  
device and restraint. If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, first turn off the gas supply. Reconnect  
the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the oven to its original installed position.  
VENT  
Annually check the flue, when cool, to be sure it is free of obstructions.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the NO IGNITION LIGHT remains lit for more than 20 seconds after three trials (Model GCO2D), or if E-  
05 displays after three trials (Model GCO2C):  
• Turn oven off for 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.  
• Check gas supply valves to be sure they are open.  
• Check electrical power source and connections.  
• Call your local Vulcan authorized service representative.
