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.
AUTOFILL Proofer Dry-Out Procedure - -
A. The programmable controller has a proofer dry-out function incorporated for your convenience. Press
the PROOFER DRYOUT key to initiate the dry-out function; you will be prompted as to whether or not
to run the dry-out procedure. It is recommended that the dry-out procedure be performed any time the
proofer will be off for more than a few hours.
B. Wipe out any standing water in the bottom of the proofer.
C. The proofer elements will turn on for 45 minutes to dry-out any remaining moisture, during this time the
proofer door should be left open 1 to 2 inches.
D. Empty, clean, and replace the drain pan beneath the proofer.
E. After the 45 minutes, the proofer portion of the control will automatically turn off.
Oven Dry-Out Procedure - -
A. Turn off the oven portion of the programmable controller.
B. Leave the oven door 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.
D. The cooling fan will continue to run for approximately 5 minutes after both the oven and proofer
portions of the programmable controller are turned off.
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!
