OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

!

WARNING - DANGER:

Disconnect power supply before servicing or cleaning this oven.

Safeguard power so it cannot be accidentally restored. Failure to do so could result in dismemberment, electrocution, or fatal injury.

Extensive engineering went into this oven to make it as maintenance free as possible. There is no lubrication required.

However, to achieve the maximum efficiency of the oven, it is necessary to keep it clean. For cleaning instructions see page 10. The frequency listed is only the factory’s recommendations. Your use and type of products will actually determine the frequency of cleaning.

If the oven fails to operate, check the circuit breaker to be sure it is turned on. Also check the fuses on the back 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 on the oven, or contact the factory at (260) 432-9511 for the name of the nearest Authorized Service Agency.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Although this oven has been designed to be as trouble free as possible, periodic Preventive Maintenance is essential to maintain peak performance. It is necessary to keep the motors, fans, and electronics free of dirt, dust, and debris to insure proper cooling. Overheating is detrimental to the life of all the components mentioned.

The periodic intervals for preventive cleaning may vary greatly depending upon the environment in which the oven is operating.

You must discuss the need for Preventive Maintenance with your Authorized Service Agent to establish a proper program.

If there are any questions that the service agent cannot answer, please contact the Lincoln Technical Service department.

INFORMATION ON USE OF OVEN

As explained in “Concepts,” the Impinger ® Conveyor Oven functions by directing high velocity streams of heated air directly upon the food products. Because air is the heat source, it is effective even on sensitive foods. Compares to conventional ovens and even convection ovens, the cooking time of products in the Impinger products such as:

® Conveyor Oven can be as much as two (2) to four (4) times faster. Several factors may affect the cooking time of any special

1. Oven Temperature Setting

2. Conveyor Speed

We encourage you to experiment with the oven by trying different temperature settings and belt speeds.

HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE

If the oven fails to operate, check the circuit breaker to be sure it is turned on. Also check the fuses on the back 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 on the oven, or contact the factory at (260) 432-9511 for the name of the nearest Authorized Service Agency.

FUNCTIONS

THERMAL CUT-OUT SWITCH

The CounterTop unit includes a “safety thermal cut-out switch” for your protection. This safety related device is designed to insure that the CounterTop unit will not overheat and damage the unit. In the unlikely event that the

CounterTop unit would exceed the specified operating temperature range, the “safety thermal cut-out switch” will activate, thus blocking power to the CounterTop unit and causing it to turn off.

!

CAUTION:

In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.


CONVEYOR REMOVAL

1. Remove extension shelves (if applicable). 2. Push coupling away from drive lugs.

3. Remove conveyor from oven cavity.

4. Reassemble in reverse order.

CONVEYOR DISASSEMBLY FOR CLEANING

CONVEYOR BELT INSTALLATION

BELT

CONVEYOR DRIVE

CORRECT INCORRECT

1. Put conveyor belt back on by setting the rolled belt to the left of the conveyor and thread approximately 2/3 of the belt over the bottom slider bed.

2. Put the loose end of the belt around the idler shaft and back on the conveyor. The belt must lie on top of the upper conveyor slider bed.

NOTE: The belt should curl around the conveyor sprockets and lay flat on top of the sprockets. If the belting does not curl around the sprockets and lay flat, remove the belting and turn the belting over. Reinstall.

3. Pull all of the slack belt through conveyor until both ends are on top of the conveyor on the left end.

4. Reconnect conveyor belt by slipping the connecting links back in place.

NOTE: The conveyor belt of the Impinger ® Conveyor Oven does not have a tension adjustment. If the belt would become loose, a link will have to be removed to tighten. A belt that is too tight will also cause operational problems due to excessive drag. We suggest that you have a qualified service technician perform this adjustment.

!

WARNING: Careful consideration should be exercised prior to removing a belt link because a belt that is too tight will impede the smooth operation of the conveyor.

!

CAUTION: Do not work around conveyor belt with long hair, loose clothing, or dangling jewelry.

!

CAUTION: The smaller the interior chamber, the more critical the airflow balance. A panel change in the ICT may cause front to back striping discrepancies for certain applications.


CONCEPTS

The Impinger ® Conveyor Oven produced by Lincoln Foodservice Products, LLC utilizes a revolutionary cooking concept called “AIR IMPINGEMENT.” It provides exceptional baked food product quality in far less time than conventional devices on the market. The “AIR IMPINGEMENT” system directs a high velocity stream of heated air at the food product being baked. This blast effect penetrates the boundary layer of air encircling the product and heats the food more efficiently because the air concentrates heat on the product. Greater heat transfer rates, which result in products baking two to four times faster than conventional means, are possible with “AIR IMPINGEMENT.”

The “AIR IMPINGEMENT” process develops the high velocity air stream with a specially designed fan that draws super-heated air from a heat source (electric). This air is directed through a plenum chamber to patented “JET

FINGERS” which have hundreds of focused jetports that “impinge” the heated air onto the product surface. The heated air is recycled to the heat source after striking the product, thus reducing energy consumption.

The “AIR IMPINGEMENT” process is tolerant enough for sensitive food products and effect proper crisping and even browning of such products as they pass through the oven – because air is the medium that heats the food product.
