E. Conveyor

The on-off switch for the conveyor motor is on the control panel. Also on the control panel is the digital conveyor speed control. The digital control can be adjusted from 3 min. to 30 min. bake time (conveyor speed). Refer to Figure 3-3.

Conveyor speed is measured by the amount of time it takes for an item to go through the bake chamber of the oven.

MEASURING CONVEYOR SPEED.

See Figures 3-4 and 3-5.

To check conveyor speed, place a product item at the entrance end of baking chamber as shown. Time how long it takes for the leading edge of the item to go from the entrance end of the baking chamber to the exit end. This should be the conveyor speed shown on the conveyor speed digital control.

NOTE: In Figures 3-4 and 3-5, the oven shown is with the conveyor running right to left.

WARNING

The burner will not operate and gas will not flow through the burner without electric power. No attempt should be made to operate the oven during power failure.
