BEFORE FIRST USE
Disconnect electrical power supply. Clean all stainless steel parts with a soft cloth and mild detergent and warm
water to remove any shipping dust and the protective oil film. Refer to CLEANING in this manual.
Reconnect electrical power and turn the thermostat on Models CO1717 and CO1717E to 500°F (260°C) for 45
minutes to burn off all protective oils from the heating elements. For Model CO1717P, turn thermostat to 680°F
(471°C) for 45 minutes.
INSTALLATION HINTS FOR HEARTH STONES
Hearth stones are to be used for bread, dough, and pizza contact only.
When breaking in a new deck oven with stone hearths, follow the information placed on the label attached to each
stone. If these instructions are not followed, the risk of warpage of the stone is very great. The label on the stone
reads as follows:
"To minimize warpage and maximize the life of the stone, it is strongly recommended that the stones be predried
following the process below:
"Preheat deck oven for one hour at 100°F (38°C). Each hour thereafter, gradually increase the temperature at
100°F (38°C) intervals until the maximum baking temperature is reached [500°F (260°C) for Models CO1717
and CO1717E, or 680°F (471°C) for Model CO1717P].
"A slight odor/outgassing occurs during the initial heat-up. This is normal, as the stones are adjusting to their
environment.
"Do not clean upper and lower stones with high abrasive brushes or cleaners. Wipe clean with a rag or soft
brush."
The stones should be reversed periodically to equalize wear. Exercise care to avoid breaking the stones when
reversing.

Thermostat — Turn clockwise to set the temperature. The electric heaters will stay on until the set temperature
is reached. It may require 20-45 minutes for the set temperature to be reached. When the electric heaters go
off, place the product in the oven.
Timer — Set the timer for the desired time. When the timer bell sounds, remove the product from the oven. The
timer is not part of the heater circuit. Turn the thermostat counterclockwise to OFF when done.
CLEANING
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY WHEN CLEANING THE OVEN.
Clean the outside of the oven daily with a cloth and mild detergent and warm water. Shelves may be removed
and cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not clean decks with high abrasion brushing or water as they may crack. Do
not place frozen foods directly on hearth decks. The thermal stress may cause cracking. Liquids should never
come in contact with the decks. Wipe clean with a dry cloth or stiff bristle brush.
SERVICE
To obtain service on this oven, contact your local Hobart Service Agency.
