Overview

The device described in this manual is the Piper OP-3 OVEN/PROOFER, a commercial food-focused equipment designed for baking and proofing. It is a combined unit, featuring a deck oven on the upper section and a proofer on the lower section, making it suitable for establishments that require both baking and dough proofing capabilities.

Function Description

The OP-3 OVEN/PROOFER serves two primary functions:

  • Deck Oven: The upper section is a deck oven used for baking. It operates on a radiant heat transfer principle, ensuring even baking across its decks.
  • Proofer: The lower section is a proofer designed to create ideal conditions for dough proofing, typically involving controlled temperature and humidity. This section can operate with either manual or automatic humidity systems, depending on the model.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual provides detailed electrical specifications and dimensions for various models of the OP-3 series (OP-3, OP-3-H, OP-3-SH).

General Dimensions:

  • Height: 30 3/4 inches
  • Depth: 30 inches

Capacities:

  • Oven Capacity (each deck): 1 standard full-size 18" x 26" sheet pan or 1 special form 18" x 26" baking pan (3 pans total for the oven).
  • Proofer Capacity: 9 standard full-size 18" x 26" sheet pans or 9 special form 18" x 26" baking pans.

Shipping Weight:

  • 600 lbs.

Electrical Specifications (Examples for OP-3 model):

  • 120/208V, 1 Phase: 3 wires, 42 Amps, 8,270 Watts, 60 Hertz
  • 120/240V, 1 Phase: 3 wires, 38 Amps, 8,270 Watts, 60 Hertz

  • 120/240V, 3 Phase: 4 wires, 20 Amps, 8,270 Watts, 60 Hertz

Other models (OP-3-H, OP-3-SH) have different amperage and wattage ratings, with the OP-3-SH having the highest wattage at 10,770 Watts. All units are designed to be hard-wired and are shipped without a cord and plug.

Water Quality Specifications (for automatic steam/humidity systems): To ensure warranty coverage and prevent damage, the water supply must meet specific quality standards:

  • Alkalinity: 30 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1 ppm
  • Aluminum: 15 ppb
  • Free Chlorine Residual: 0.5 ppm
  • Total Hardness: 7 ppm
  • PH: 8 s.u
  • Calcium: 6 ppm
  • Sodium: 7 ppm Water system pressure should not exceed 120 PSI. A 1/4" FPT connector is provided for water hookup, located on the right rear corner post.

Usage Features

Installation:

  • Requires installation by qualified/licensed persons for electrical and plumbing.
  • Must be installed on a solid, level floor.
  • Adequate space (30" on right side for servicing, 4" from wall on left side and rear for airflow) is required.
  • The appliance must be secured to the building structure.
  • For units with automatic steam/humidity, a water filter (provided by others) is required and essential for warranty coverage.

Oven Operation:

  • Turn power switch "ON" (interior lights will illuminate).
  • Set all oven thermostats past 375°, then back to 375° for pre-heating.
  • Set timer for 1 hour for pre-heating until the buzzer sounds.
  • When loading product, pans should be pushed completely to the rear of the oven.
  • Timer knob should be turned 5 minutes past the desired setting, then back.
  • Thermostat adjustments (10-25 degrees) may be needed for even baking across decks.
  • Caution: Do not use an oven thermometer; a pyrometer with a surface probe is the correct tool for checking temperature.

Proofer Operation (Manual Humidity):

  • Turn power switch "ON".
  • Fill water pan with hot water (not needed for automatic humidity models).
  • Set thermostat to 100° and allow 15 minutes to reach temperature.
  • Set humidity control at #2 or #3. A light haze on the proofer door indicates proper setting; water beads running down the door indicate too high humidity.
  • Dough products should be completely thawed and at room temperature before proofing.
  • Warning: Low water level or scale build-up in the water pan will void the warranty. Keep water level above 1/2 full.

Proofer Operation (Automatic Humidity):

  • Turn power switch "ON".
  • Set thermostat to 100° and allow 15 minutes to reach temperature.
  • Set humidity control at #2 or #3. A light haze on the proofer door indicates proper setting.
  • Warning: Drain humidity system DAILY via the drain valve on the lower front corner post to prevent scale build-up and premature failure.

Maintenance Features

General Maintenance:

  • Daily cleaning and good condition maintenance are recommended for optimal performance.
  • Safety First: Always turn off the power switch and disconnect the unit from the power source before extended cleaning or servicing where electrical components may get wet.
  • Personal Protection: Utilize protective gloves and safety glasses during cleaning/servicing.
  • Cleaning Agents: Only soap and water are approved for cleaning stainless steel.
  • Warnings:
    • Do not use chlorinated, highly caustic, acidic, ammonia, or other corrosive cleaners, as they can cause corrosion or damage to stainless steel.
    • Do not use acid-based cleaners (e.g., Easy Off oven cleaner) on oven decks, as this will void the warranty and permanently stain the metal.
    • Do not use steel wool.
    • Water pan must be emptied and cleaned after each serving period.

Cleaning Procedures:

  • Oven: Sweep crumbs daily. Remove racks and clean with strong detergent and hot water when dirty. Remove spillage to prevent burning/smoking.
  • Proofer: Wash stainless steel interior with strong detergent and hot water. Leave the door open overnight to air dry. For manual fill water pans, soak with a strong vinegar solution overnight to remove mineral build-up.
  • Doors & Glass: Wipe daily with strong detergent and hot water. Wright's Silver Cream is recommended for glass.
  • Exterior Surfaces: Lightly wipe with lemon oil or stainless steel cleaner for a shiny finish.

Required Monthly Maintenance:

  • Check thermostat settings.
  • Check operating temperature of the unit.
  • Check electrical connection.

Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes comprehensive troubleshooting guides for the oven, proofer, and automatic steam/humidity systems, detailing symptoms, possible causes, and remedies. For issues not resolved by these checks, contact an Authorized Parts and Service Dealer.

Warranty:

  • 12-month limited warranty from the date of shipment, covering defects in materials and parts.
  • Purchaser is responsible for proper installation, operation, and periodic preventative maintenance.
  • Warranty is voided by inadequate water quality, improper cleaning, harsh chemicals, misuse, unauthorized modifications, or use of non-genuine Piper replacement parts.
