Combi ovens can carry a kitchen — until a cleaning, water, or sensor issue forces an unexpected shutdown. The best operators treat combis like mission-critical equipment and maintain them accordingly.
Top PM habits we recommend
- Water quality management: Keep filtration current; scale is a major reliability killer.
- Daily cleaning discipline: Consistent cleaning prevents door seal failures and airflow restriction.
- Inspect gaskets and hinges: Steam leaks reduce performance and can trigger faults.
- Verify drainage: Drain restrictions create error conditions and sanitation concerns.
Signs you’re headed toward downtime
- Steam performance changes (longer cook times, inconsistent results)
- Recurring fault messages
- Door not closing smoothly or sealing fully
- Water leaks or drainage alarms
