7. INITIAL STARTUP

a) Focus on the angled Electric Control Box containing the Main Switch (GREEN rocker type, lighted).

The VHVA-Series oven is shown, which contains (5) adjustable knobs for blowers, temperature

controls, and conveyor belt speed. VH-Series ovens only have (3) adjustable knobs that control

temperature and conveyor belt speed. Two indicator lights are mounted to show when HEAT is

being added to the system.

1) Flip ON the Main Switch. The switch should light up when ON ( ), and be dark when

OFF( ). Normal warm-up time is 20 -30 minutes for maximum temperature. Lower

temperature settings will take less time.

3) Turn the Air Velocity Speed Controls to MAX (full Clockwise rotation) and listen for the

air velocity speed to increase.

4) Set the Temperature Controls to MAX (full Clockwise rotation). The Indicator Lights will

illuminate because there is not sufficient heat in the oven. The lights tell you that the heaters

are ON.

7) As you become familiar with the oven, you will set the Top and Bottom Temperature Controls

to different settings, according to your cooking requirements. As the oven temperatures

vary, the Indicator Lights will turn ON and OFF as the heaters respond to the cooking

process.

IF THE MAIN SWITCH IS TURNED OFF DURING INITIAL START-UP, LEAVE UNIT OFF

FOR AT LEAST 15 SECONDS TO ALLOW THE AIR VELOCITY CONTROLS TO RESET.

TOGGLING THE SWITCH RAPIDLY (ON/OFF) WILL STALL THE BLOWER MOTORS

AND ALLOW THE HEATERS TO COME ON EVEN THOUGH NO AIR WILL BE MOVING.

THIS CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT.

5) Reduce the blower speed by turning the knob half-way (Counter-clockwise, until indicator

mark on the knob is pointing straight UP).

6) Turn the temperature control knobs to 350°F. As each chamber (upper and lower) reach this

temperature, the indicator lights will cycle ON and OFF, verifying that the heaters are

operating properly in response to heat demand.

) Gradually turn the conveyor belt control Counter-clockwise and verify that the conveyor belt

moves faster and faster. Repeat this process, turning the knob Clockwise, verifying that the

conveyor belt moves slower.

NOTE: AT SPEED SETTINGS ABOVE 10 (10-minute cook time), IT MAY BE HARD TO TELL THE BELT

IS MOVING. PLACEAPAN ON THE BELTTO OBSERVE THAT IT MOVES INTO THE COOK CHAMBER.
