OWNER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This customer preventive maintenance (PM) section includes procedures to inspect for proper operation
and cleaning of components. Owner Preventive Maintenance Procedures are written for gas ovens. They
can also be used for electric ovens by omitting the steps that refer to components found only on gas ovens.
Customer PMs should be conducted bi-monthly per OSHA Bakery Oven Inspection Standard 29 CFR
1910.263(l)(9)(ii). A convenient PM Checklist is provided at the end of this section.
NOTE: This PM procedure does not discuss repair or replacement of components. Upon completion of
the PM procedure, you will need to contact a Bakery System service agency for any needed repairs.
Tools Used For Inspection Procedure
• Standard set of hand tools

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout

Certain procedures in this section require electrical test or measurements while
power is applied to the machine. Exercise extreme caution at all times. If test points are not easily
accessible, disconnect power and follow lockout / tagout procedures, attach test equipment and
reapply power to test.
