What BELT OFF
actually means.
A Middleby Marshall conveyor will not move the belt until the chamber is near its set point, so a pizza cannot ride through a cold oven. While it warms, the message bar says the belt is off and the oven is not yet at temperature. Once both sides are within a few degrees, the belt starts on its own.

What to do when BELT OFF shows on the pizza ovenKind of codeMode, not a failure
No part of the oven has failed; the display is reporting a state someone chose or the oven entered on its own. A cool-down keeps the blowers turning after the heat is off until the cavity or the tunnel has dropped to a safe level, an energy save setting lets the decks sag between rushes, and a menu lock stops anyone on the line from changing the bake times. No part is needed: letting the cool-down run out, or the key sequence in the manual, brings the oven back.

Let the oven finish its warm-up; do not load product yet.

A Middleby Marshall conveyor call is about the line: how many pies came out right before the belt slowed, stalled or the crust went pale.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Middleby Marshall's own guidance for BELT OFF on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the oven finish its warm-up; do not load product yet.
Check that the set points on both sides are what you expect.
If the message stays long after a normal warm-up, check the gas supply is on and book a visit.
Cleared?
The code has left the display, the decks or the tunnel come up to the set heat and hold it through a full service, the belt keeps its speed and the blowers run steady, all with no part changed. If the same code returns within a week, or on the next busy night, say so when you book.
What not to do
BELT OFF is not a belt jam and needs no action on the conveyor. A belt that stays off after the oven reports it is hot is a different problem that the manuals list under a conveyor not moving.

Still showing BELT OFF?
A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied as shown, the model and serial from the rating plate, and a note on whether the oven still lights, heats or moves its belt. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your oven the same day.
