5. Start-up and configuration
5.1 System testing
y
Check the line voltage with the motor nameplate rating.
y
Determine if the axial vane is running free and has not been subject to misalignment in shipping or installation.
y
Turn the
exodraft
grease fan ON and make sure that it is operating. Adjust the fan speed control to make sure it is
operating properly.
Prior to using a cooking appliance, make sure that sufficient air needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases from oil/gas-fired appliances, like water heaters, furnaces and boilers, is
provided.
y
With the fan ON, check that other heating appliances (furnace, water heater, etc.) are operating safely without spill-
age (spillage is the escape of flue gases from the relief opening of the draft hood of an atmospheric appliance). On
start-up, a little spillage is normal, but it must stop after a couple of minutes.
y
Spillage can be detected by introducing smoke into the flue products ahead of the draft hood or by observing if
the flame of a match goes out when it is held at the edge of the draft hood relief opening (See Fig. 5).

5.2 Testing pizza oven operation
Most pizza ovens consist of a dome with a front opening that can be closed with a cast iron door. Above the opening, a
hood connected to the flue assures smoke and odors are collected and removed safely (see Fig. 6).
Place a few logs in the back of the dome and set the fan at high/full speed. Light the fire. Turn on all exhaust fans (range
hoods, etc.) and make sure that there is no spillage from the hood into the room. When the fire has caught on, reduce the
speed of the grease fan to a point where it still removes the flue gases safely. Mark this setting on the fan speed control
cover, as this will be the operating position/speed of the grease fan.
