The oven must be appropriately set up to ensure a great bake.
The oven has many parts, including “Fingers” and “Eyebrows”.
Oven Fingers and Eyebrows
Oven Fingers
Fingers of the oven extend into the baking chamber on the top and the bottom, as our fingers extend from our palms.
The oven fingers are engineered for a specific purpose. A diagram of finger placement is located on the oven so you will know the proper setup needed for a great bake. These diagrams are also known as “Oven Guide Stickers”.
Oven Eyebrows
Some Model types have adjustable “Eyebrows” on the entrance and exit of the oven, which are fastened to the End Plugs of the oven (shown below). The Eyebrows are designed to limit the heat lost from the oven chamber during operation. The eyebrows have multiple height settings and should be placed at their lowest possible setting while providing enough clearance above the oven chain to allow the tallest Papa John’s product to enter/exit the baking chamber uninterrupted.
It is crucial to ensure that the eyebrows are positioned correctly. Eyebrows that are positioned too low can damage the products as they enter and exit the bake chamber. Eyebrows that are placed too high can cause the oven to vent excessive amounts of heat, which can cause inconsistent bake results, excess temperatures in the production area, increased fuel consumption by the oven, and increased electrical consumption by the HVAC and refrigeration equipment in the restaurant.
Note: Adjust the Eyebrows when the oven is off and cool. You must adjust the oven eyebrows once installed or if Papa John confirms any new adjustments.
Remove the fasteners from either end of the eyebrows and position them at the desired height (ensure that both ends of the eyebrows are at the same height).
Reattach the fasteners, securing the Eyebrows in place. The steps are the same for both the entry side and exit side of the oven chamber. Be sure to calibrate the oven using the Slice & Rise after making any adjustments.
The Papa Johns approved Eyebrow height for the PS740 WOW is 2.5 inches (6cm).
The entry and exit Eyebrows should be set on the third hole from the top of the Eyebrows to achieve 2.5 inches (6cm)
