Technical Details

Repair Steps:

  1. Verify Chemical Usage: Confirm that the facility is actively using genuine UNOX Det&Rinse chemicals for the combi oven’s cleaning cycles. Check the chemical containers connected to the oven for brand and type.
  2. Inspect Chemical Supply: Ensure that the chemical containers are not empty and that the supply lines (hoses) from the containers to the oven’s chemical pump are securely connected and free from kinks or blockages.
  3. Confirm Chemical Type: Double-check that the correct type of Det (detergent) and Rinse (rinse aid) chemicals are being used, as UNOX offers different formulations for various cleaning needs. Using the wrong type can be ineffective.
  4. Review Operational Procedures & Training: Assess whether staff operating the oven are fully aware of the requirement to use UNOX Det&Rinse chemicals and how to properly load/monitor them. Provide refresher training if necessary.
  5. Consult Installation & Operation Manual: Refer to the UNOX CHEFTOP and BAKERTOP MIND.Maps™ installation and operation manuals. These documents clearly specify the requirements for chemical usage to ensure compliance, optimal performance, and warranty validity.
  6. Professional Service Call: If there’s persistent non-compliance, or if the system appears to be improperly configured despite using correct chemicals, contact a certified RestoFixer technician. There might be an underlying issue with the chemical dosing system or the initial installation not meeting UNOX specifications.
