PROOFER MAINTEANCE – how to clean your proofer correctly
"When carrying out the daily clean on your Duke Bread oven and proofer, it is important to follow the instructions contained within the operator manual, as failure to follow these guidelines may result in unnecessary service calls.
Many proofer service calls have been attributed to saturation of the humidity sensor within the proofer cabinet.
It is important that no water or chemical is sprayed directly into the oven or proofer; this should be sprayed onto a cloth first.
The cloth can then be used to wipe the interior panels, avoiding the humidity sensor. Once wet, it is extremely difficult for a service technician to dry the humidity sensor out within a reasonable amount of time and will likely need to be replaced."
If you can monitor and advise your staff of the correct method of cleaning the proofers we may be able to reduce the callouts for our ovens.
