Daily Cleaning:
• Wipe Down Chamber: After cooling, clean the inside surfaces of chamber using a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads or chemicals.
• Clean Trolleys and Trays: Remove all trays/trolleys and wash with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and dry before reinserting.
• Drain and Clean Water Tanks: Empty and rinse the water tanks to prevent scale, residue, or microbial build up.
• Wipe IoT Panel/Touchscreen: Use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth for the IoT panel. Avoid liquids, sprays, or harsh cleaners.
Weekly Maintenance:
• Detergent Wash: Clean chamber interiors, trolleys, trays, and water tank with mild, non-abrasive detergent.
• Inspect Heaters and Steam Units: Check for lime scale build up, leaks, or discoloration; clean as required.
• Check Air Circulation and Fans: Ensure fans and ducts are unobstructed and free of flour dust or debris.
• IoT System Diagnostics: Restart the IoT panel and review all logs for warnings, temperature/steam trips, or alarms.
Monthly Maintenance:
• Gasket and Sensor Check: Inspect chamber door gaskets for wear or damage. Make sure temperature/humidity sensors are clean and unobstructed.
• Inspect Power Cord and Switchgear: Look for frayed wires, loose plugs, or damaged switches on both electrical and IoT lines.
• IoT Software & Firmware: Confirm IoT firmware is current. Update through the official CS aerotherm channel if notified.
• GPS/Asset Tracking: Verify the reported device location is accurate for easy service traceability (if used).
IoT System Special Care
