DESCRIPTION

III. COMPONENT FUNCTION

A. Conveyor Motor and Conveyor Belt

The conveyor belt is driven by a variable-speed electric motor (Figure 1-7) operating through a gear reducer. The motor speed is controlled by a digital control. The stain- less-steel wire belt can travel in either direction at variable rates ranging from 3 minutes to 30 minutes; this is the time that a product can take to pass through the oven.

B. Blower Fan

The blower fan is located at the rear of the oven. This blower forces heated air through the air fingers. The BLOWER/Heat switch must be set to “ON” or “I” for oven warmup and baking.

C. Electric Heaters

There is one heater element mounted on the inside of the left panel. The element is connected to an electrical control which is energized by the temperature controller.

If the pilot flame does not light or a loss of flame occurs, the main gas valve closes.

The main burner gas is extinguished when the HEAT switch is set to “OFF” or “O”.

D. Window

A window on the front of the oven permits viewing the items being baked and provides access to the oven for items that do not require full baking time, such as sandwiches, cookies, small items, or cheese-melting processes.

E. Cooling Fan — See Figure 1-8

The cooling fans are located in the back of the oven. These cooling fans draw air through its grille, blowing it through the blower motor compartment and the control compartment into the oven top and exhausted out the front louvers.

F. Air Fingers and Blank Plates - See Figure 1-9

F1. Air Fingers

An Air Finger Assembly is made up of three parts:

1.Outer Plate - The Outer Plate is the removable covering with tapered holes, which direct the air stream onto the product being baked.

2.Inner Plate -The perforated Inner Plate is vital in forming the unique air jets. It must be assembled into the manifold with its holes aligned with the holes of the outer plate.

3.Manifold - The Manifold is the assembly which slides on tracks into the oven plenum.
