OPERATION

II.COMPONENT INFORMATION AND LOCATION (Figures 3-1 and 3-2)

A. Door Safety Switch

The Door Safety Switch is located at the lower right side of control panel opening. Opening the control panel door permits this switch to open, disconnecting power to all electrical controls.

CAUTION

Do NOT touch the wires going to this safety switch. Current is always present.

B. Blower Switch

The blower switch has two positions. The switch must be “ON” or “I” for the main blowers to come on and permit the oven to run. The fan circulates the air throughout the oven and must stay on during baking and during the cool down cycle above 200°F (93°C) to prevent blower bearing damage. To protect the blower motor and bearings a thermostatic override is built into the oven.

If the temperature inside the oven is over 180°F (82°C) the main blower will continue to run after the blower switch is turned to the “OFF” or “O” position.

C. Heat Switch

The “Heat Switch” allows the burner to activate. Activation is determined by the settings on the Digital Temperature Controller.

D. Temperature Controller

The temperature controller is a solid-state, PID type to maintain the operator-set temperature. The temperature controller continuously monitors the oven temperature and turns on the modulating solid state relay controller. The heat is on for the time required to maintain a constant oven temperature.

The temperature controller contains a low-limit switch which allows the oven to cool down to 200°F (93°C) before shutting off the blower. A high-limit indication (ALM 1) will appear on the display if the oven reaches 650°F (343°C).

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. Moreover, the self-cleaning feature simplifies maintenance, ensuring the oven operates at peak performance with minimal downtime.

In summary, the Middleby Marshall PS520G conveyor oven embodies a perfect blend of technology, efficiency, and versatility.
