during operation and remain hot for some time. Never breathe gas or steam from the
exhaust vents. Use extreme caution when working on or near this area and component
parts.
• Scalds – Do not place containers with liquid contents or contents that become liquid on
oven racks higher than you can see into the containers. Cover containers (individual or on
trolleys) containing hot or hot liquid items to help prevent spills during transport. Observe
and heed and obey and obey the additional warnings and warning labels posted on the
Combi
• Grease Spatter – Hot grease will spatter and cause burns if sprayed with water. Locate
fryers and similar appliances outside the range of the Combi hand shower.
• Electric Shock – Use the hand shower only on the inside of the oven. Use of the hand
shower hoses power cleaners or pressure washers on the outside of the Combi can
cause electric shock and / or damage electrical and electronic components.
• Cleaning and Daily Maintenance – Wait for the Combi to cool before cleaning and
performing daily maintenance. Do NOT spray water in a hot cooking compartment. Do not
use hoses power cleaners or pressure washers or harsh or abrasive cleaning agents
inside OR outside the cooking compartment.

1.7 Health and Sanitation Practices
BKI Combi Ovens are manufactured to comply with health regulations and are tested and certified
to UL

cUL

and NSF

standards. You must operate the equipment properly using only quality
products and use meat thermometers to insure meats are thoroughly cooked.
Food Handling
• Wash hands thoroughly in warm soapy water after handling raw poultry or meats.
• Clean and sanitize all utensils and surfaces that have been in contact with raw products.
Clean and sanitize the meat forks or baskets between cooking.
• Never place cooked meats on the same surfaces used to prepare raw meats unless the
area has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Storage of Raw Meats
• Designate an area or shelf strictly for the storage of all raw meats to be used in the
rotisserie.
• Raw product must always be stored at temperatures below 38° F. (3° C.).
• Never store or mix raw foods above cooked foods as this is a health hazard. The drippings
from raw foods contaminate cooked or processed foods.
• All chicken and chicken parts to be stored overnight must be thoroughly iced down and
refrigerated.
Coding Cooked Foods
• All products cooked during the day should be sold the same day.
NOTE:. Follow your company’s procedures for the handling of any leftover product.

(63°C.).

Touch Control Combi Oven ater Quality

2.0 Water Quality
As with all steam related products water filtration and regular filter replacements may be necessary
with the combi. It is strongly recommended to have a water analysis performed prior to installing the
combi. Poor water quality can have a big impact on cook quality performance and longevity of the
combi. Varying combinations of pH; alkalinity; hardness; chlorides; total dissolved solids; and other
chemical characteristics when subjected to high temperatures will cause water to have a tendency
to either scale or corrode.
There are a number of different water filter/treatment systems out there and each has its own
benefits and specialties. Below are a couple different styles and their benefits. Multiple styles may
need to be used to get the water to proper levels.
) Particle Filter
When the water contains sand iron particles or suspended matter we recommend a 5-15 µm
(micrometer) particle filter:
B) ctive Carbon Filter
When the level of chlorine (Cl
2
) in the water exceeds 0.5 mg/L (= ppm) (information available from
the water company) an active carbon filter should be installed.
C) Phosphate dditive System
A Phosphate Additive (Feeder) System is recommended for steam generator units only when a
moderate level of scale (not containing chloride) is experienced. System recommended
Kleensteam from Everupure.
D) Ion Exchange System
An ion exchange system is recommended for a steam generator based unit when a high level of
scale (not containing chloride) is experienced and for a spritzer based unit when the any scale (not
containing chloride) is experienced.. Systems recommended: Claris from Everpure (H+ Ion
Exchanger). Sodium ion exchangers (as used in dishwashers) must not be used.
E) Blended Reverse Osmosis (RO)
When the water has a chloride Cl- concentration above 20 mg/L (= 20 ppm) a blended RO system
should be installed to avoid corrosion.
Note: Make sure a minimum conductivity of 20 µS/cm (microSiemens) remains in the water for
steam generator units.
Water quality must conform to the below requirements. If water does not meet the minimum quality
if damage to the oven is determined to be due to water quality it will be considered non-warranty
and not covered under the stated warranty policy.
BKI Minimum Water Quality Requirements
Hardness (CaCO3) = Less than 7.5 GPG (Grains per Gallon)
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) = Less than 100.0 mg/L (Milligrams per Liter)
Free Chlorine = Less than 0.5 mg/L (Milligrams per Liter)
Chlorides = Less than 20 mg/L (Milligrams per Liter)
Chloramines = Less than 0.5 mg/L (Milligrams per Liter)
Total Alkalinity = Less than 20 mg/L (Milligrams per Liter)
Total Silica = Less than 10 mg/L (Milligrams per Liter)
pH level = 7.0 to 8.0
Conductivity (Boiler Models only) = Minimum of 20 µS/cm (microSiemens per cm)
