Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove the oven from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and your supplier. Retain all packaging materials for inspection.
2. Placement
Place the oven on a stable, level, heat-resistant countertop. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper ventilation. Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents. Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from walls and other equipment.
3. Electrical Connection
The Lincoln 2500/1353 oven requires a 208-240V, 6 kW electrical supply. It is equipped with a NEMA 6-50P plug. Ensure the electrical outlet matches the oven's requirements and is properly grounded. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about your electrical setup.
4. Conveyor Belt Installation
The oven comes with a removable, standard 31-inch stainless steel conveyor belt (16 inches wide). Slide the belt into the designated tracks within the baking chamber. Ensure it is properly seated and moves freely.

5. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wipe down all interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
Locate the simple power on/off switch on the control panel. Press to turn the oven on. The digital display will illuminate.
2. Digital Controls
The intuitive digital controls allow for precise adjustment of cooking parameters:
- Temperature Adjustment: Use the temperature controls to set the desired baking temperature. The oven can be set from 90°F to 600°F (32°C to 315°C).
- Cooking Time Adjustment: Use the time controls to set the desired cooking duration. The cooking time can be adjusted from 30 seconds to 15 minutes.
3. Conveyor Belt Operation
The conveyor belt moves food through the 20-inch baking chamber. The belt speed is linked to the cooking time setting. The oven also features a reverse function, allowing you to move food back out of the chamber without having to manually retrieve it, which is useful for checking doneness or adding ingredients.
4. Loading and Unloading
Place food items directly onto the conveyor belt at the entrance. The 3-inch opening accommodates a variety of products. Once cooked, items will exit the oven on the other side of the conveyor belt.
5. Cooking Tips
- Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before loading food for optimal results.
- Experiment with temperature and time settings for different food items to achieve desired doneness.
- Ensure food items are evenly spaced on the conveyor belt for consistent cooking.
Maintenance
1. Daily Cleaning
After each use, or at the end of the day, ensure the oven is turned off and completely cooled before cleaning.
- Remove the conveyor belt and clean it with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Wipe down the interior of the baking chamber with a damp cloth and mild, food-safe detergent. Pay attention to any food debris or grease buildup.
- Clean the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the stainless steel finish.
- Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling or operating the oven.
2. Regular Inspection
Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage. Check the conveyor belt for wear or misalignment. Ensure all controls are functioning correctly. Any issues should be addressed promptly by a qualified service technician.
