    Why does my MKN Commercial Food Equipment smell unpleasant?
    • J

      If your MKN Commercial Food Equipment smells unpleasant, the waste trap may be dry. For units with automatic cleaning, start a brief cleaning cycle (2 minutes). For units without automatic cleaning, open the "Water inlet" equipment function and allow 15 liters of water to flow in. If the drain is closed, open it.

    MKN FLEXI CHEF 2012 Model: FCEKMP122DR When selecting the wash cycle on the display, the time initially shows 00:00 regardless of the selected program, and the wash cycle does not start. All the conditions required for the wash cycle to run are met: the lid is closed and locked, the drain valve is open, the bowl is in the operating position, and the rinsing rod is inserted. All signals indicate the correct operating mode, but the wash cycle does not start.
