MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING GUIDE
MAINTENANCE:
NU-VU
®
equipment is designed to last for years of useful service. Careful consideration is given in
selecting components for durability, performance and ease of maintenance. For example, both the Oven
Motor and Proofer Motor have sealed bearings and never need to be lubricated.
While NU-VU
®
equipment is designed for minimum care and maintenance, certain steps are required by the
user for maximum equipment life and effectiveness:
Proper installation of the equipment.
Correct application and usage of the equipment.
Dry-out Procedures performed daily.
Thorough cleaning on a regular basis.
Manual-Fill Proofer Dry-Out Procedure - -
A. Remove the Water Pan [64]. Empty and clean the Water Pan and set it aside.
B. Wipe out any standing water in the bottom of the Proofer.
C. Empty, clean, and replace the Drain Pan [77] beneath the Proofer.
D. Set the Proofer Power Switch [31] to
ON
. Leave the Temperature Control [32] and Humidity
Control [34] at their normal settings.
E. Leave the Proofer Door [42] open by about 1 to 2 inches and allow the Proofer to run for about
20 to 30 minutes or until it is dried out.
F. Set the Proofer Power Switch to
OFF
. Leave the Proofer Door slightly open (about 1 to 2 inches)
while the Proofer is not in use.
AUTOMIST Proofer Dry-Out Procedure - -
A. Wipe out any standing water in the bottom of the Proofer. You may need to remove the Element
Cover [88] to do this.
B. Empty, clean, and replace the Drain Pan [77] beneath the Proofer.
C. Set the Proofer Power Switch [31] to
ON
. Leave the Temperature Control [32] at its normal
setting but turn the Humidity Control [81] to
OFF
. You may also need to turn off the water
supply if water continues to be sprayed into the Proofer Blower Wheel.
D. Leave the Proofer Door [42] open by about 1 to 2 inches and allow the Proofer to run for about
20 to 30 minutes or until it is dried out.
E. Set the Proofer Power Switch to
OFF
. Leave the Proofer Door slightly open (about 1 to 2 inches)
while the Proofer is not in use.
Oven Dry-Out Procedure - -
A. Set the Oven Temperature Control [22] and Oven Power Switch [21] to
OFF
.
B. Leave the Oven Door [41] open about 1 to 2 inches. The residual baking heat will dry out any
moisture that may be trapped in the insulation or other components of the Oven.
C. Leave the Oven Door slightly open (about 1 to 2 inches) while the Oven is not in use.
IMPORTANT: THESE DRY-OUT PROCEDURES MUST BE CARRIED OUT DAILY TO
HELP MAINTAIN YOUR EQUIPMENT IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION. THE
REMOVAL OF RESIDUAL MOISTURE HELPS PREVENT DETERIORATION OF THE
INSULATION, DAMAGE TO THE PROOFER ELEMENTS, SENSORS, MOTOR AND
OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND EXTENDS THE USEFUL LIFETIME OF
YOUR NU-VU
®
EQUIPMENT!
