Usage Features
The control panel of the MKL 1064 S Proofer includes:
- ON/OFF Switch Key: Powers the appliance on or off.
- Temperature Knob: Allows the user to set the heating temperature between 25°C and 65°C.
- Humidifier Button: Activates the humidifier to introduce humidity into the proofing chamber once it has warmed up.
- Control Thermostat Indicator Light: Illuminates when the thermostat is tripped to re-establish the selected temperature and turns off when the desired temperature is reached.
First Use: Before initial use, it is recommended to run the appliance load-free for 15-20 minutes to eliminate any unpleasant smells from residual work grease.
Important Usage Notes:
- The appliance must be used solely for its intended purpose of heating and leavening frosted foods.
- Salt or salty food should not be placed in the proofing chamber, as salt can cause irreparable damage. The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for any damages resulting from such use.
- Personnel using the machine should be trained.
- The door handle should not be used to move the appliance, as the glass panel may break.
Maintenance Features
General Cleaning:
- Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and allow it to cool before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
- Clean the appliance when it is cool.
- For steel parts, avoid products containing chlorine (e.g., sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid), even if diluted. Use specific off-the-shelf products or a small amount of hot vinegar. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Clean the glass door with hot water only; do not use rough cloths.
- Do not wash the appliance with direct water jets or steam, as water ingress can compromise safety.
- Avoid using corrosive substances (e.g., hydrochloric acid) to clean the floor near the appliance, as vapors can corrode and damage the outer steel housing.
Technical Service:
- A technical check-up once or twice a year is recommended to prolong the appliance's life and ensure optimal operation.
- All assistance and repairs must be carried out by qualified personnel using original spare parts.
- When ordering spare parts or seeking information, always provide the serial number and model from the "technical data" plate.
- For maintenance, users can contact Tecnoeka via the provided telephone numbers or website.
Installation (for qualified installer):
- The appliance must be positioned perfectly horizontally (feet are adjustable) at least 10 cm from side and rear walls for ventilation. It is not suitable for embedding.
- Electrical connection must comply with legal regulations, ensuring voltage and frequency match the "technical data" plate, and the power supply system can support the load.
- A single-pole switch with minimum between-contacts aperture of overvoltage category III (4000 V), sized to the load and conforming to current legal regulations, must be fitted between the appliance and the mains.
- The yellow/green earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch.
- The power supply should not deviate from the rated voltage by more than ±10% during operation.
- If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, technical support, or a qualified person.
- The terminal board for power cable connection is on the rear panel. Conductors should be arranged so the earth conductor is the last to detach.
- The appliance must be connected to an equipotential system, with a minimum conductor diameter of 2.5 mm².
- Connection to water mains requires softened drinking water (0.5°F to 3°F hardness) at a pressure of 100-200 kPa (1.0-2.0 bar). A 3/4” threaded solenoid valve on the back of the appliance is used, with a mechanical filter and cut-off cock.
