INSTALLATION

1.Checking the Gas Supply (Inlet) Pressure

a. With the main gas supply valve closed and the circuit

breaker/fused disconnect in the OFF (“O”) position, open

the inlet pressure tap shown in Figure 2-13 and attach a

manometer to the tap.

b.Volumetric Method

1.Determine the time of 0.1m3 (100 liters) of gas usage as follows.

b. Depress the safety switches to allow the oven to operate.

Consumption (m3/hr.) =

NB (Rated input in kW)

c.

Open the main gas supply valve. Switch the circuit breaker/

 

fused disconnect to the ON (“I”) position.

d.

Start the oven according to the directions in the Operation

 

section of this Manual. Adjust the temperature controller to

 

the maximum setting 600°F (316°C).

e.

Measure the supply (inlet) pressure.

f.

Switch the oven off. Close the main gas supply valve, and

 

switch the circuit breaker/fused disconnect to the OFF (“O”)

 

position. Remove the manometer, and close the inlet tap.

g.

Compare the measured supply (inlet) pressure to the

 

nominal pressures shown in the Description section of

 

this Manual.

If the supply pressure is lower or higher than the nominal pressure, the reason should be investigated and the gas supplier contacted.

For natural gas ovens, if the measured supply pressure is lower than 3.5″ wc, or higher than 7″ wc, contact the gas supplier. DO NOT OPERATE THE OVEN or adjust the oven controls.

2.Adjusting the Orifice (Manifold) Pressure and Heat Input

To use the orifice pressure method, you must know the specific gas type and quality used. If using the orifice pressure method, you should double-check the input using the volumetric method.

To use the volumetric method, you must know the heat value (HuB) of the gas used. This information is available from your gas supplier.

During these measurements, do not operate any other appliances that use the same gas meter as the oven.

a.Orifice (Manifold) Pressure Method

1.With the main gas supply valve closed and the circuit breaker/fused disconnect in the OFF (“O”) position, open the manifold pressure tap shown in Figure 2-13 and attach a manometer to the tap.

2.Remove the cap screw from the pressure adjustment screw (governor) on the gas control valve.

3.Depress the safety switches to allow the oven to operate.

4.Open the main gas supply valve. Switch the circuit breaker/fused disconnect to the ON (“I”) position.

5.Start the oven according the directions in the Operation section of this Manual. Adjust the temperature controller to the maximum setting (316°C).

6.Adjust the pressure adjustment screw as necessary to match the correct pressure for the oven's specific gas type. Refer to the Pressure Table in the Description section of this Manual. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise increases the flow, while turning it counterclockwise reduces the flow.

7.Switch the oven off. Close the main gas supply valve, and switch the circuit breaker/fused disconnect to the OFF (“O”) position. Remove the manometer, and close the manifold pressure tap.

2.Check that the main gas supply valve and the circuit breaker/fused disconnect are in the OFF (“O”) position.

3.Remove the cap screw from the pressure adjustment screw (governor) on the gas control valve.

4.Depress the safety switches to allow the oven to operate.

5.Open the main gas supply valve. Switch the circuit breaker/fused disconnect to the ON (“I”) position.

6.Start the oven according the directions in the Operation section of this Manual. Adjust the temperature controller to the maximum setting (316°C).

7.Adjust the pressure adjustment screw as necessary to match the calculated volume using the time (in minutes) of 0.1m3 of gas usage. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise increases the flow, while turning it counterclockwise reduces the flow.

8.Record the reading obtained from the gas meter and calculate the obtained gas flow. Compare this value to the information in the tables in the Description section of this Manual.

9.Switch the oven off. Close the main gas supply valve, and switch the circuit breaker/fused disconnect to the OFF (“O”) position. Replace the cap screw onto the gas control valve.

Its patented Air Impingement technology circulates heated air within the cooking chamber, ensuring that every item receives even heat distribution. This technology is particularly beneficial for achieving perfectly cooked pizzas, breads, and other baked goods. The ability to cook food quickly while maintaining moisture and flavor is a hallmark of this model.

Another significant characteristic of the PS520G is its versatile cooking capabilities. The unit features adjustable conveyor speed, allowing operators to customize cooking times according to the type of food being prepared. This flexibility is essential in a bustling kitchen environment where different menu items require distinct cooking times.

The construction of the PS520G is robust and designed for durability, with stainless steel exteriors that are not only attractive but also easy to clean. Additionally, the oven's efficient design includes a high-capacity cooking chamber that can accommodate larger items, making it suitable for various food types.

A critical aspect of any commercial kitchen equipment is ease of use, and the PS520G shines in this area as well. The user-friendly digital controls allow for precise temperature settings and monitoring, enabling kitchen staff to maintain high standards in cooking.
