Cleaning - Nu-Vu SUB-123 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING GUIDE

CLEANING:

Your SUB-123 should be cleaned daily and as soon as possible after a spill has occurred. It is essential to
maintain a clean unit, especially if the public views the unit in your place of business. The following should
be used for cleaning:
A. The stainless steel exterior may be cleaned with any good stainless steel cleaner or polish, or with
hot soapy water followed by a clear rinse if it is very soiled.
B. The Doors can be removed for ease of cleaning by opening each Door until it is perpendicular to
the face of the unit and then lifting the Door straight up. All glass should be cleaned with a glass-
cleaning formula. Baked-on or excessive soiling can be removed with soap and hot water followed
by a thorough rinse with fresh clean water. Severe deposits may be loosened and removed by
soaking in a stronger soap and water solution.
C. The Oven and Proofer interiors (including the Door Jamb) should be cleaned on a regular basis
with mild soap and hot water followed by a thorough rinse with fresh clean water.
WARNING: Do not use oven cleaners in the Oven! Once in the side walls these cleaners are very
difficult to remove, and may cause your oven to smoke or emit noxious fumes until they are rinsed
out or burned away. You will need to completely disassemble the oven interior in order to flush out
any remaining oven cleaner
D. The Proofer Element Cover should be removed on a regular basis when cleaning the interior of the
Proofer. Clean the Element Cover with mild soap and hot water, rinse with clean fresh water, and
wipe dry to prevent spotting.
E. Proofers equipped with the AUTOMIST option should have the Water Injection Nozzle inspected
and cleaned at regular intervals as determined by usage and water hardness. To clean the Water
Injection Nozzle:
1. Remove the Proofer Element Cover to expose the bottom of the Proofer compartment.
2. Use a 7/16" wrench to remove the Nozzle from the fitting in front of the Blower Wheel.
Carefully unscrew the filter screen from the back of the Nozzle and shake out the small brass
diffuser plug from the inside.
3. Soak all parts for 30 to 60 minutes in a small container of Lime-Away or other mild
commercial mineral remover. Carefully brush and rinse all three parts.
4. Reassemble the Nozzle, making sure that the slotted end of the brass diffuser plug is to the
outside. Install the filter screen hand-tight only to avoid damaging the Nozzle.
5. Install the Nozzle in the Proofer fitting and carefully tighten it with the 7/16" wrench. Replace
the Element Cover.

NU-VU DOES NOT RECOMMEND the use of any strong commercial or caustic product on this
equipment. DO NOT allow any type of caustic cleaner to come into contact with any aluminum parts (such
as Door Frames), the silicon rubber Door Gaskets, or any of the sealing compound in the Oven and Proofer
seams and joints. These compounds may cause discoloration and degradation of these parts resulting in
permanent damage. DO NOT use bleach or bleach compounds on any chromed parts; bleach will damage
chrome plating.
NOTE:
®
NU-VU has had very good results with a product called JIFFY CLEANER. For standard cleaning simply
spray JIFFY on and wipe off. Heavily soiled areas may require a short period of soaking. This cleaner is
available through NU-VU
representative.
