Submitted by pearly on March 22, 2011 - 3:44am What do the dials do?I am trying to work out how to use this oven. It's an old oven and I can't find any information about it on the internet. This is the first time I have used a professional oven and don't really know what the dials do. I have tried to find a datasheet/manual on the internet for this oven but I think it is too old. Anyway, if anyone can advise me what the dials control or give me any tips for using an oven this old I'd be very grateful. Atm I am just turning it on and waiting until it gets hot (by using digital probes - the thermometers are inaccurate) before I bake. Here are some pictures of the oven
Thanks in advance.

The white dials look to me to be
heat settings, maybe for upper and lower elements. Play with it.
Voltage
The label says 240 volts, is that what you have it hooked up to? Looks like some chem or science oven.

May be 3-phase
I had my A+ German student look at it and we tried some dictionary searches, but he is a post-2000-German speaker and that is clearly a pre-2000 nameplate.
I am wonder though if the '3X' on the third line means 3-phase.

Dahlen Link
Apparently, Dahlen is still in the oven business:
http://www.sveba-dahlen.com/
Might be able to check with them.
I would contact Dahlen
My own look at the dials can mean nothing, if the dials pull off to clean, then they might not be in the original positions. Keep that in mind as you play around. Looks to me like one oven to a stackable oven group (legs? or clamp marks?) one in a group of 4 maybe. Be clear in your contact to Dahlen how many ovens are hooked together. (I suspect E1B-41B may mean "Electric 1B - Four ovens 1B for an example.) One dial & light could be steam. Is there any metal hose connections or nipples at the back? Or in the oven?
Looks Swedish/German
Spänning or "Connected load" is 3 x 415 +0 V
When compared to this description in German
of another Dahlan oven no longer for sale:
This breaks down to
3 x 380 V connected load total: 18 kW per Bake oven (4 ovens): 4,1 kW baking room: 1.6 kW Size (width x deep x height) 138 x 100 x 201 centimeters per Baking oven tray size 90 x 60 cm / or 2 trays 45 x 60 cm Baking Height in ovens: 3 ovens 14.5 cm; one oven 20.0 cm The ovens are in very good condition, totally functional, technically and visually with nothing missing. With the delivery belong: 5 baking sheets bla bla bla and the price.
You might be able to compare ovens and get some idea of what the writing on your oven means to you.
For example my home oven gives off 3.3 kW heat. Yours lists 9/2 kW
Seems to be a Swedish oven
the town Boras is in Sweden
(Mini, German ovens would be marked better, ahem, grin)
