DESCRIPTION

I. MODEL IDENTIFICATION

The Middleby Marshall PS540-Series may be used either
as a single oven or stacked for use as double or triple
ovens. The major difference between the oven models in
this series is the width of the conveyor.

A single PS540-Series Oven (Figure 1-1) is mounted on a
base pad with legs and casters. A double oven (Figure 1-2)
consists of two,
(Figure 1-3) consists of three stacked single ovens. The
lower oven is mounted on a base pad with short legs and
casters.

On a double or triple oven, the ovens operate completely
independent. All ovens use identical controls and compo­nents. One oven can be cleaned or serviced, while the
others are operating.

DESCRIPTION

II. PRINCIPLE OF AIR FLOW

The fan-style blower draws air into the oven plenum where
it is heated. The blower then pushes the hot air through the
air fingers into the baking chamber. Each air finger
contains an inner plate and outer plate that form the hot air
into jets, distributing it across a conveyor belt on which the
food product rides. Air is then pulled back into the blower
and the process continues. The curving, black arrows of
Figure 1-4 show this air flow.

A. Heat Transfer and How It Works

1. Heat constantly moves from a warm object to a cold
object. Heat moves using three different paths: Conduc­tion; Radiation; and Convection.

Conduction:

tact. The pizza dough in contact with the pan is a good
example of conduction.

Radiation:

Dark objects absorb heat whereas light or shiny objects

This path utilizes surface-to-surface con-

This path has to do with objects radiating heat.

Upper Air Fingers

reflect more heat. This is the reason that the inside of a
PS540-Series Oven is light in color: To reflect more heat
back onto the food product.

Convection:

air. It explains why hot air rises and cooler air replaces hot
air. An industrial application of this principle is to incorpo­rate a fan to force the hot air movement, which in turn
increases the heat transfer to the food product.

Each PS540-Series Oven has a large fan-style blower to
move the hot air through the air fingers and onto the
product to cook/bake the food product most efficiently.

2. Temperature is the intensity of heat at the point where
it is sensed. As discussed above, heat flows by conduc­tion, radiation and convection. The speed at which the heat
flows is determined by the temperature difference between
the oven and the food product. The larger the difference,
the faster the heat flows to the item that is being baked.

This path has to do with moving a volume of

II. PRINCIPLE OF AIR FLOW (Continued)

B. Air Fingers

The PS540-Series Ovens are conveyorized ovens that
employ vertical jets of hot air streaming from air fingers
(Figure 1-5) to give uniform, intense heating. The vertical
streams of hot air provide an exceptional heat transfer rate
and generally bake faster and at lower temperatures than
convection hot air or infrared heating ovens.

A PS540-Series Oven can accommodate up to four
bottom air fingers and four top air fingers. Some PS540-

Some customers have a predetermined finger
arrangement. If you have any questions pertaining to the
finger arrangement, please call the factory.

SECTION 1
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 stain­less-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 switch must be set to “ON” or “I” for oven
warmup and baking.

C. Gas Burner

Turning the HEAT switch to “1” activates the oven purge
circuit. After approximately 30 seconds, the solid-state
ignition control lights a pilot burner by an electric spark.
This system permits the main gas valve to open
the lighting of the pilot burner is detected by the flame
sensor.

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.

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.

II. VENTILATION GUIDELINES

A mechanically driven ventilation system is required for
the PS540 Series Middleby Marshall conveyorized gas
ovens. The minimum hood canopy dimensions are out­lined below.

Local codes and conditions vary greatly from one area to
another and must be complied with. Following are the
suggested requirements for good ventilation. Please re­member these are recommendations or guidelines, you
may have a special condition or problem that will require
the services of a ventilation engineer or specialist. Proper
ventilation is the oven owner’s responsibility. Improper
ventilation can inhibit oven performance. It is recom­mended that the ventilation and duct work be checked out
every three months. Grease filters in the intake of the hood
may be required by local codes.

VENTILATION HOOD

The rate of air flow exhausted through the ventilation
system is generally between 1400 and 2500 cu. ft./min. (40
and 70 m3/min), but may vary depending on the oven
configuration and hood design. To avoid a negative pres­sure condition in the kitchen area, return air must be
brought back to replenish the air that was exhausted. A
negative pressure in the kitchen can cause heat related
problems to the oven components as if there were no
ventilation at all. The best method of supplying return air
is through the heating, ventilation and air conditioning
system. Through they system, the air can be temperature
controlled for summer and winter. Return air can be
brought in directly from outside the building, but detrimen­tal affects can result from either extreme seasonal hot and
cold temperature from the outdoors.

VENTILATION CAPTURE TEST

It is recommended that a 30 second smoke candle test be
performed on your ventilation hood system. Follow the
steps below to complete the ventilation smoke test.

All tests are to be done on single ovens or lower units of
a double or triple oven. We recommend you wear
protective gloves when performing this test. At no time
should food be present when the smoke test is being
conducted. Also check that no fire suppression system
will be activated by the smoke.

1. Turn ventilation system on.

2. Turn oven(s) on and allow to heat up to customers
normal operating temperature, or a minimum of
480°F (248°C).

3. Turn conveyor off. Place a 30 second smoke candle in
a pie or cake pan which is no higher than 3″ (76mm).

4. Open the front oven window. Next, light the smoke
candle in the pan and then slide the pan into the center of
the bake chamber on the conveyor belt and close the
window.

5. The ventilation hood should capture 90% to 100% of the
smoke produced by the candle.

NOTE: Return air from fan driven system within the hood
must not blow at opening of bake chamber or poor oven
baking performance will result.

III. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

INFORMATION FOR PS540-SERIES
OVENS.

WARNING

Authorized supplier personnel normally accom­plish the connections for the ventilation system,
electric supply, and gas supply, as arranged by
the customer. Following these connections, the
factory-authorized installer can perform the initial
startup of the oven.

Check the oven data plate (Figure 2-11) before making any
electric supply connections. Electric supply connections
must agree with data on the oven data plate.

NOTE: The electric supply installation must satisfy the
requirements of the appropriate statutory authority, such
as the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA70,
(U.S.A.); the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2; the
Australian Code AG601; or other applicable regulations.

A fused disconnect switch or a main circuit breaker
(customer furnished) MUST be installed in the electric
supply line for each oven; it is recommended that this
switch/ circuit breaker have lockout/tagout capability. The
electric supply connection must meet all national and local
electrical code requirements. Copper is the recommended
material for the electrical supply conductors.

IV. ELECTRIC SUPPLY FOR GAS-

HEATED OVENS

Supply voltages for all gas ovens (except one 200 - 220V
oven for export) can range from 208 to 240VAC, 1 phase.
Ampere requirements for each oven can be handled via a
fused disconnect switch or main circuit breaker.

NOTE: The electric supply installation must satisfy the
requirements of the appropriate statutory authority, such
as the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA70,

(U.S.A.); the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2; the
Australian Code AG601; or other applicable regulations.

The supply conductors must be of the size (#14 AWG,
copper) recommended. (Refer to the wiring diagrams of
Section 7.) All gas oven electric supply connections are
made via the electrical junction box on the rear of the oven
(Figure 2-12). The power lines then connect through an
oven safety switch (on the control console door frame) to
the oven circuits. Opening the door interrupts electric
power to the oven.

CAUTION

Before connecting incoming power to the oven,
measure the voltage of each input leg to
neutral. The expected voltage is approximately
120 volts. Any voltage reading exceeding 130
volts indicates that the supply has a ‘high’ leg.
CONNECTING A ‘HIGH’ LEG TO THE OVEN
VOIDS ALL OVEN WARRANTIES. Connecting
a ‘high’ leg to the black lead of the oven can
severely damage the oven’s electrical and
electronic components.

CAUTION

DO NOT CONNECT BLACK

WIRE TO HIGH LEG.

VOLTAGE OF THE BLACK AND

WHITE WIRES MUST BE NO

HIGHER THAN 130 VAC

Contact an electrician or the electric power supply com­pany to remove the ‘high’ leg from the electric supply
line(s) to the oven.

In the junction box on the rear of the oven, connect one
208 - 240V supply line to the black wire and the other
208 - 240V supply line to the red wire. Connect the
supply neutral line to the white wire. Connect the
electric supply ground wire to the oven ground screw
located in the main junction box. If necessary, have
the electrician supply the ground wire.
