THIS MANUAL NEEDS TO BE RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH. READ THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.
1. After uncrating the Autobroil Omni™ unit, inspect for shipping damage. Check that all control
knobs are intact on the electrical cabinet front. Contact the factory if there are obvious problems.
Set the Autobroil Omni™ in place and use the plastic bag to protect it from the debris and trash
of building construction. Check that sideskins have not been dented or damaged by the carrier.
Notify your freight carrier immediately to file a concealed damage claim, following the instructions
attached to the outside of the shipping crate. Your warranty will not cover freight damage.
2. Because this unit is power fan exhausted, it is necessary to provide adequate make up air equal
to the amount removed. In addition to this, any other exhausts, flues, or air removal systems
must be taken into consideration. Examples of this are heat removal fans or hot water heater
flues.
APPLIANCE LOCATION
1. Position Autobroil Omni™ to properly align with exhaust hood. Note nameplate clearance.
2. The hood/ventilation for the appliance should be located in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association Standard #96, "Removal of Smoke and Grease-Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment" and any local applicable requirements.
3. For proper installation, the minimum clearance from combustible construction is 6" from sides
and 6" from back.
4. Adequate clearance should be maintained to allow easy ac cess to loading and unloading areas
of the machine.
5. For servicing, unit must be moved 2" clear from all construction.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1. THE FOLLOWING MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Set the unit on
a strong flat equipment stand. Adjust each mounting foot (Figure 1) by turning foot in or out until
the dimension measured at each corner of the machine is IDENTICAL. Place stops or take other
precautions so machine will not accidentally slide off equipment stand.
2. 208 Volt Units: The Autobroil Omni™ unit has a power cord. The cord may be found on the
backside of the unit. The actual electrical amperage requirement of the circuit may be found on
the rating plate on the rear of the unit. Make certain the circuit feeding the machine is sized to
handle the amperage shown on the rating plate, plus a service factor. Use the National Electric
Code as a guide in sizing, wiring and circuit breakers. The power supply is 1 phase, 4 wire, and
the conductors consist of two hot legs (L, and L;), neutral (N) and one ground leg. The neutral
and one hot leg are used to make the control voltage, which should be 120V. The electrician
should check that either both hot legs measure 120V to ground or that, as a minimum, the control circuit (starting at the 5 amp fuse) measures 120V.
3. 240 Volt Units: The power supply is 1 phase, 3 wire, and the conductors consist of two hot legs
(L1 and L2) and one ground wire.
4. There is a wiring diagram located in this Owner's Manual.
III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-OPERATI0N CHECK
1. After the power has been turned on, cycle the Conveyor ON switch and observe that the conveyor
is moving. Leave the Heat Switch OFF. The Autobroil Omni™ is designed for limited access to the
temperature and speed controls by use of a keylock. The key, which operates the lock, should be
put in a safe place, and should only be used by persons authorized to go inside the Autobroil ™
oven and modify machine settings.
2. Figure 2 shows the front panel of the Autobroil Omni™, as well as the inside panel, which is
visible when the key operated front panel is open. Conveyor speed may be changed by entering. a
new setting in the digital speed selector shown in Figure 2. Speeds available range from 30
seconds to 8 minutes, adjustable in one second intervals.
3. With the locked panel closed, two temperature displays showing the temperature of the top and
bottom heaters are visible. When the Conveyor ON switch is turned to ON, these displays will
illustrate the approximate room temperature. This assumes the Heat ON switch has not yet been
turned ON. If the Heat ON switch is ON, the displays will indicate the temperatures of the
respective heaters as labeled. Again, using the key, access can be made to the inside panel and
the heat selector buttons. See Figure 2. Your Operations Department has established top and
bottom heat settings and generally these should not be touched unless authorized by Operations.
The combination of cooking time and temperatures has been made to produce your food correctly.
When setting temperatures on a new machine, depress the heat selector button and rotate the
button until the displayed temperature is in accordance with operation's required setting. The set
point may be reviewed at any time by depressing the selector button. When not depressed, the
displayed temperature is the actual heater temperature. Perform this temperature setting operation
for the top and bottom heater and then lock the front panel.
4. On the back side of the unit there are two labeled circuit breakers. See Figures 4 and 8. These
circuit breakers control the top and bottom heater power. They are not intended for frequent use,
but are in place to guard against an electrical short developing in the heaters. If one of these circuit
breakers trips, you may reset the breaker, but if it continues to trip, it potentially indicates an
electrical short and that breaker should be left off until the machine is inspected by a qualified
electrician.
SHUT-OFF INSTRUCTIONS
1. When shutting down at night, turn the Heat switches OFF, but leave the conveyor running until the
temperature displayed drops below 500° F (260° C). Allowing the conveyor to run during this cool
down cycle produces improved conveyor and bearing life.
1. The flat plate top and bottom heaters are self-cleaning, and at most may gather a coating of
ashes due to spillage of food on their surfaces. Removal of these ashes is best accomplished
with a suction device, but if this is not available then the conveyor belt should be opened up
periodically and the heaters brushed clean. Figure 5 illustrates the conveyor chain and the
procedure of opening the conveyor chain.
2. By removing the support trays from each end of the machine, an inspection can be made along
the length of the machine to check for food build-up at each end. This should be scraped and
removed daily to prevent excessive ongoing build-up.
3. Other daily cleaning consists of good housekeeping practices, such as wiping external surfaces.
DO NOT GET WATER ON THE ELECTRICAL CABINET OR ON THE HEATERS. NEVER
HOSE THE MACHINE.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
1. In addition to daily cleaning, there is little preventive maintenance necessary on the Autobroil
Omni™. Bearings are high temperature, long-life and need no lubrication. They are shown in
Figure 3. After several years of continuous use, it may be necessary to replace the bearings.
They should be replaced with bearings obtained from the Factory only, since they are a special
high temperature type bearing.
2. The drive motor shown in Figures 1 and 3 is a DC type motor that employs motor brushes.
These brushes should be checked for wear on a yearly basis (see Figure 3). Replace the
brushes when they have worn in length to 1/4" or less.
3. Inspect the roller chain in Figure 1 for extensive slack. Remove the slack by loosening the
screws holding the motor in place and sliding the motor down so as to tighten the chain. If no
adjustment remains, then shorten the roller chain.
4. Inspect the conveyor chain at each end of the conveyor for excessive slack, see Figure 7. If
there is excessive slack to the point where the upper run of conveyor may catch the lower run,
check that there is still spring pressure available in the automatic tensioning system. If not,
remove a conveyor link as described in Figure 5.
V. TROUBLESHOOTING
This section contains a list of imagined problems with your Autobroil Omni™ oven. By locating the
problem in this section, you may be able to make a quick repair. ALL ELECTRICAL TROUBLE
SHOOTING INVOLVING ACCESS INTO THE MOTORS. HEATERS OR ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURES
MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Temperature displays do not come on when depressing Conveyor ON Switch.
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
A) The 5 amp fuse inside the control cabinet is blown. Figures 4 and Schematic.
B) Wire is broken off of Conveyor ON Switch. To check, open control panel and inspect Part
#500957 on Figures 4 and Schematic.
2. One of the temperature displays does not indicate correct operating temperature.
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
A) Check appropriate circuit breaker on rear of machine. Figures 4 and Schematic.
B) One of the heater strips in the malfunctioning heater is burned out. To determine this
problem, remove the back skin of the machine and with an amp clamp, measure the
amperage going to the suspect heater. Call Factory to check actual amp draw against
draw recorded at the Factory for the serial number machine involved.
C) Terminal on backside of heater, as shown in Figure 6, has experienced burn off of lead
wire, or loosening of locking nuts. Replace wire to the heater with special high
temperature wire and ring terminals as provided by Factory only.
3. The conveyor does not move.
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
A) Remove motor cover as shown in Figure 1 and check that rubber cord from motor passes
into control cabinet and is not cut or broken.
B) Remove cover over chain that drives conveyor, as shown in Figure 1. Check that set
screws on the sprocket mounted on the motor shaft and the sprocket mounted on the
conveyor axle are tight.
C) Locate circuit board according to information on Figure 4. With control cabinet lid open,
remove the screws and lay inside panel down. This provides access inside the control
cabinet. The motor circuit board has an AGC.1 amp fuse, as shown in Figure 4. Inspect
the fuse and replace with a fuse of identical rating if the original fuse is burned out.
D) Check motor brushes as covered in Figure 3.
4. Temperature of top and bottom heater does not come up to proper setting.
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
A) Check circuit breakers on backside of machine.
B) Check wiring to Heat ON Switch by opening control panel and looking at Heat Switch
#500957. See Figures 4 and Schematic.
5. Temperature display shows letters "OFL".
A) Replace thermocouple of top or bottom heater depending on which display is flashing.
Make certain that new thermocouple is routed exactly like original.
With any electrical appliance there are possibilities of failure. The wiring diagram gives a detailed
7
description of the electrical circuits in the control cabinet. Reference to this wiring diagram should be made,
and assistance sought from a local service agency and/or the Factory in pursuing other problems.
