FEA keeps the momentum going
with its popular service engineer training events
The Foodservice Equipment
Association (FEA) has announced its first training day of 2025, which will
focus on providing service engineers with the latest information on combi ovens
from a variety of leading manufacturers.
The day will take place on the 22nd January in the training
facility at Parts Town UK based in Cannock just north of Birmingham. The
manufacturers who will be participating are Lincat, MKN/Jestic, Retigo and Unox,
as well as ventilation and extraction specialists Inox Fabrications.
“The combi oven training sessions FEA ran in 2024 were
practical and good value and, consequently, extremely popular,” says John
Cunningham CFSP, Chief Executive of FEA.
“We’ve decided to keep the pace going in 2025, giving more service
technicians the chance to increase their knowledge and skills with information
direct from top manufacturers.”
The day begins at 9am with a
chance to meet other delegates, as well as grabbing a breakfast bap and a hot
drink. This is followed up with a short session giving updates on a range of
topics including changes to the electrical regulations, installing and
servicing guidelines. Scott Barnfield, training centre manager at Parts Town UK,
will also update attendees on ACS assessment and training.
The main part of the day will
see delegates divided into small groups to take part in sessions with each
manufacturer in turn. These have been designed to allow everyone to get hands
on experience of each combi oven and will cover a range of relevant topics that
will provide you with the information needed to install and maintain them.
Topics include manufacturer specific information on service and maintenance,
how to diagnose common issues and the faults that occur through lack of
maintenance, information on best practice on electrical safety and what training
and protective devices are available.
As well as this, Inox will be giving
sessions covering a range of supplementary topics relating to the requirements
for ventilation and extraction for combi ovens.
They will include individual components, designs, fault finding and how
to verify the performance of your ventilation systems.
Delegates will also have the
opportunity to tour Parts Town UK, and the day will end with a final
presentation, the chance to ask questions and a prize draw.
