This valve regulates the rate at which the burner operates and it should be set so that the burner is on high flame
about 80 percent of the time with full baking load.
(17) Keep minimum or pilot flame as large as possible without building up oven temperature on low setting. Observe
flame in combustion chamber thru sight gage (16).
(18) For initial operation, set pointer adjusting knob (17) of temperature control (18) at 560 (293.3 ), which is the flue

(19) If the magnetic valve (19) fails to function, control the oven temperature by means of the emergency bypass valve
(5). When operating the oven by means of the bypass valve, keep constant watch to see that the oven temperature
does not go beyond the proper baking temperature.
(20) Run oven until temperature on thermometer (20) indicates a minimum of 450 (232.2 ). It may require
