Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Clifftop Bistro in Aberystwyth, known for its slow-roasted lamb, faced a crisis when their main Alto-Shaam oven's rotation mechanism failed mid-service. The grinding noise was awful, but the thought of a whole weekend without their signature dish was worse. They needed a fast, reliable fix.
"That oven is the heart of our kitchen. When it went down, my heart sank. We ordered the AD500 gear set overnight. Having a simple, effective part on hand that we could fit ourselves meant we were fully operational for the Saturday dinner rush. It absolutely saved us."
Owen Price – Head Chef
The repair, using the Alto-Shaam AD500 parts, took less than an hour, restoring full functionality and preventing what could have been thousands in lost revenue.

Installation & Maintenance
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Safety First! Always disconnect the oven from the mains power supply before starting any work.
- Access the Guts: Carefully remove the necessary panels to get to the drive motor and existing gearbox assembly.
- Out with the Old: Gently unbolt and remove the worn gear set, taking care not to damage surrounding components.
- In with the New: Fit the new AD500 gear set, making sure it aligns perfectly and meshes correctly before tightening.
Keeping It Going
- Listen Up: Regularly listen for any unusual grinding or whining sounds, which can indicate early wear.
- Keep it Clean: Ensure the area around the motor is free from excessive grease and food debris.
- Check for Play: Periodically check for any 'wobble' or looseness in the mechanism, as this can signal a problem.
- Professional Check-up: Include the drive system in any annual professional servicing schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a genuine, official Alto-Shaam part?
A: Yes, this is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) spare part, SKU AD500, designed specifically for Alto-Shaam equipment.
