2.2 Description of how oven is connected

Based on Fig. 1 (on the previous page), connection to the
oven should be done according to following:
· Connect a tube for steam output that is 120mm in diam-
eter in order to carry the steam out to the exterior of the
building.
· Connect the water supply, with a 1/2” section and with
pressure between3 to 3.5 kg/cm2. If the pressure is less
than this measurement, it is necessary to apply a pump
before connecting it to the oven. If the pressure is great-
er than this measurement, it is necessary to attach a
pressure regulator. It is advisable to apply a water sof-
tener before connecting the water to the oven, in order
to avoid sedimentation of limestone in the steam parts,
as this will prolong its life and improve its effectiveness.
· Connect the exhaust output – for combustion ovens
– tube diameter of 100mm, preferably in stainless steel,
which transports fumes resulting from combustion out-
doors. This should always be placed in the vertical at a
minimum height of 5 meters and with a “cap” on the ex-
terior to prevent rainwater from entering. Once the tube
has been installed, the depression in the combustion
chamber should be measured (on the display above the
burner) between 0.3 and 0.4 mbar. If the depression is
higher than this measurement, you must install a “but-
terfly” in order to regulate the release of smoke between
the oven and the ceiling. If the depression is less than
this measurement, there may be some obstruction to
the extraction of smoke due to how curved the tube is.
· Connect the power supply to the general electric switch-
board, 400V (3 phases, neutral and land) with a cable that
is suitable to the power of the oven (see power table).
Once connected, it is necessary to check the direction
in which the motors rotate so that they coincide with
what is shown in Figure 1. If this is not the case the con-
nection of one phase to the general electric switchboard
must be changed.
· Connect the input of fuel – for combustion ovens – with
an appropriate tube for that type of fuel. It is important
that this connection be made by a technician.
· Connect the oven drain, preferably with a tube 32 mm in
diameter and that can withstand a temperature of 100º
C.

 HARACTERISTICS OF BURNERS USED WITH OVEN 2.6 COMMAND FOR VAPOUR OUTPUT VALVE
(gas or diesel)

The liquid/gas fuel burner to be added to the oven for heat-
ing, should always be pressurised with the power outlined
in the “Consumption and Power Table” previously mentioned.
These parameters set by Ramalhos, (which may vary accord-
ing to the oven ordered) are to be applied by a qualified and
certified technician.
The command for the Vapour output valve is located as indi-
cated in Fig. 2, shown below, is activated manually (or auto-
matically in options) when there is too much vapour inside the
cooking chamber.
As shown in Fig. 2 below, the position of the handle should be:
A = Valve closed
B = Valve open

Fig. 2

2.5 Characteristics of Resistances to be applied to the oven

The resistances applied to the oven are essentially designed

to produce good results and cannot be substituted for others
even though they may be similar. Use Ramalhos resistances
only.

Important
Ramalhos cannot be held responsible for any damaged
caused to the ovens and/or other when the instructions
above have not been followed.

3 | Preliminary check list (before heating the oven for the first time)

Proceed as follows before heating the oven for the first time:
1st Check that the connections of both the smoke and
the steam chimneys have been completed.
2nd Check that the water and drain connections have also
been completed.
3rd Check that the oven has been connected to a power
source.
4 With combustion ovens, check that the burners are in

5th Check that the rotation direction of the motors is the
same as that which is shown in Fig 1 of this Manual
(page. 4).
6th Check if there isn’t any water leaks in the oven and/or
in the connections made to the oven.
If the oven is in compliance with the check list above, it may
be heated for the first time.

viously mentioned in this Manual, and that the con-
nection to the fuel has been made.

When the oven is assembled all of the adjustable positions should be set according to what is being baked as the positioning of the
openings from which the heat exits are refined according to the figure below.
However, if the baking is not uniform, it will be necessary to request the technical services of Ramalhos so that they may readjust the
oven according to what is being baked.

Note
The hook system is practical and easy to fit. When a rack is placed on the hook, be careful to push it until it has hit the back. If
the rack has not been well placed this may cause problems with the rotation systems.

 ROTORAM | Edition C - Revision 0

8 | Platform system (S-Maxi, S-Plus and Dual)

The platform system is practical for various reasons:

· It could take various different rack sizes;
· It could take two simultaneously (only Dual);
· Due to its high resistance, the S-Maxi platform supports 350 kg and the Dual supports 500kg;
· There is also a safety system to stop the rack(s) from damaging the platform system.

9 | Oven maintenance

9.1 MAINTENANCE OF THE RACK ROTATION MECHANISM

LUBRIFICATION:
Every two months.

Lubricating the rack rotation mechanism represented in Fig.

5 to the left, (located above the oven) should be done with
high temperature lubricant at points 1 and 2 as indicated in
the figure.

LUBRICATING THE CLUTCH:

When the rack is not rotating.
When it is necessary to disassemble the mechanism.

The clutch in the rack rotation mechanism is a sliding joint at

the rotation axel where the washers A compress the gear B.
If sliding occurs (the rack will not rotate), the washers need
to be tightened closer to the gear by tightening the nuts C
(clockwise). If for any reason it is necessary to dismantle the
rack rotation mechanism, is will have to be assembled again
in accordance with the figure here illustrated.
The clutch can never be completely tightened (or locked),
in order to guarantee the maximum safety of the rack cou-
pling. Therefore it should be tightened in such away that
permits a slight slide with a resistance of 80N against rota-
tion.

9.2 Rack rotation mechanism

COMPLETE RACK ROTATION MECHANISM

Highly resistant and long lasting.
The rotation mechanism has 3 systems of protection:
· Mechanic (clutch);
· Electric (thermal-magnetic circuit breaker);
· Electronic (the panel detects when the rack is jammed).

9.3 SUBSTITUTING BULBS 9.4 GENERAL OVEN CLEANING

9.4.1 CLEANING THE GLASS DOORS

The glass doors should be cleaned at least once a week.

They should be cleaned with warm water (30-40º C) and with
detergent in order to remove any dirt.

Important
The glass is tempered and therefore should not be
cleaned with cold water as this may causethe glass to
break, explode or crack.

9.4.2 Cleaning the stainless steel structure

The front of the oven, which is stainless steel, should be clea-

ned at least once a week. The cleaning should be done with
a “spray” appropriate for cleaning stainless steel and that will
remove grease and clean the surface without scratching it.
Non-abrasive products may be used.

9.4.3 CLEANING THE BAKING CHAMBER

The baking chamber should be cleaned at least once a week.

This should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaning product
that is non-toxic and non-inflammable but that will remove
grease and clean the interior of the oven. It is advisable to
wipe down surface with a dry cloth in order to remove any
humidity resulting from the cleaning.

9.5 WARNING MESSAGES AND FREQUENCY OF OVEN MAINTENANCE

In order to keep the oven in good and safe working condi-

tions, it is necessary to take the following maintenance steps:
Clean weekly:
· The oven front;
· The oven glass doors;
· The oven baking chamber;
· The oven racks and trays.
Lubricate every two months:
· The rack rotation mechanism with high temperature lu-
bricant;
· The lock on the oven door.
Every three months:
Unscrew the glass carefully. · Check the belts of the oven heating fan. Substitute, if any
of the belts is faulty or worn out. In the event that one of

· Check the alignment of the belt polys.

MAINTENANCE WARNINGS
Notwithstanding the fulfilment of the aforementioned dead-
lines, the oven has a system that warns the operator of the
need to carry out periodic maintenance. This warning is a
general preventative warning, i.e. disregards the specific
deadlines for each maintenance task and only takes into con- 9.7 VENTILATION BELT
