INFORMATION ON USE OF OVEN
As explained in “Concepts,” the Impinger® oven functions by directing high velocity streams of heated air directly on the food products. Because air is the heat source, it is effective even on sensitive foods. Compared to
conventional ovens and even convection ovens, the cooking time of products in the Impinger® Conveyor ovens can be as much as two (2) to four (4) times faster. Several factors may affect the cooking time of any special product such as: 1) oven temperature setting, 2) conveyor speed, 3) position of columnating plate in oven, and 4) adjustments of the 2 baffles on the conveyor openings.
We encourage you to experiment with the oven by trying different temperature settings and belt speeds. Also, try to control the cooking of the product by
! CAUTION: DO NOT WORK AROUND CONVEYOR BELT WITH LONG HAIR, LOOSE CLOTHING, OR DANGLING JEWELRY. GETTING CAUGHT IN THE BELT COULD RESULT IN DISMEMBERMENT OR FATAL INJURY.
OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
!WARNING - DANGER:
DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING THIS OVEN. SAFEGUARD POWER SO IT CAN NOT BE ACCIDENTALLY RESTORED. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DISMEMBERMENT, ELECTROCUTION, OR FATAL INJURY. THERE IS MORE THAN ONE POWER SUPPLY CONECTION POINT WHEN OVENS ARE STACKED, SO MAKE SURE THAT ALL SWITCHES ARE IN OFF POSITION BEFORE CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE.
To maintain maximum efficiency of the oven, it is necessary to keep it clean, all ventilation louvers on the oven must be cleaned regularly. Oven use and type of product will actually determine the frequency of cleaning. The conveyor drive chain should be checked during the weekly cleaning cycle to see if it has become loose. Loose chain operation will DAMAGE the conveyor drive motor.
If the oven fails to operate, check the circuit breaker to be sure it is turned on. Also, check the fuses on the control panel to be sure that they are good before you call the Authorized Service Agency. The name and phone number of the Authorized Service Agency should be located at the bottom of the data plate.
