A. GENERAL INFORMATION

MODEL 815E

DESCRIPTION

The Nieco Model 815E is an electrically heated conveyorized radiant broiler. Elements on the top and bottom of the conveyor belts cook a wide variety of products quickly and consistently. The 815E can be equipped with up to three independently controlled cooking belts.

Backed by the Nieco worldwide distributor network, your 815E and all other Nieco equipment comes with a full service system that provides on-time delivery, start-up, and training assistance, as well as 24 hour help, should you ever need it.

FOOD PREPARATION

In order to cook properly on the 815E, the operator must prepare the food in a consistent and appropriate manner. The portions need to be uniform, the product temperature going into the broiler must be consistent, and if pans or plates are used to cook on, they must be the same.

In automating the kitchen, individual portions of each dish are prepared for cooking in advance of demand. Items to be broiled are cut into appropriate portions, and held in a refrigerator until needed. Some products, such as hamburgers can be frozen and do not have to be thawed before broiling.

B. INSTALLATION

Refer to the Parts and Location section of this manual. If you find concealed damage to any part of this unit, contact your freight carrier immediately. The factory warranty does not cover freight damage.
