Oven Accessories & Stands

Oven accessories and stands are the supporting equipment that make a commercial oven practical and safe to use day after day. They include oven stands and trolleys that position the unit at a comfortable working height, proving cabinets that create a controlled environment for dough, exhaust hoods that manage heat and vapour, baking bases, bread loaders, and extension supports that let you stack or expand your oven setup.

You'll find proving cabinets and provers from Zanolli, exhaust hoods, heavy-duty baking bases, manual bread loaders, and a range of extension supports and stands. Brands across the range include Rational, UNOX, Convotherm, Turbofan, Goldstein, Hobart, Invoq, MKN and SMEG Professional. The range covers both electric and gas configurations, so your team can match accessories to the oven already in your kitchen.

A proving cabinet is a self-contained unit that holds dough at a consistent temperature and humidity level, making it the right choice for bakeries or any kitchen producing bread or pastry at volume. A prover support extension, such as the Zanolli 150 mm or 300 mm options for the Teorema Polis 2S, is a structural add-on that raises or stacks your existing prover rather than replacing it. Start with the cabinet if you need proving capacity, and add extensions when you need height or extra tray clearance.

Tray count is the most practical guide. Smaller operations often find a 6-tray or 9-tray cabinet fits the bench space and daily output they need. High-volume bakery lines tend to run 14-tray units or multi-module configurations. Measure your floor or bench footprint first, then check the tray dimensions against your standard dough trays before you buy. The Zanolli Citizen and Teorema Polis ranges both offer multiple tray configurations to suit different kitchen sizes.

Most stands and mechanical accessories are designed for straightforward assembly and positioning by your kitchen team. Gas-connected provers and exhaust hoods that tie into your ventilation system should be connected by a licensed tradesperson in line with local requirements. Always follow the manufacturer's installation guide supplied with the unit, and check with your local council or certifier if you are unsure about ventilation or gas compliance in your state.

Zanolli accessories such as exhaust hoods, baking bases and extension supports are engineered to pair with Zanolli oven models. Fitting them to a different brand is not recommended unless the manufacturer explicitly states compatibility, because load ratings, footprint dimensions and connection points are model-specific. Check the product listing or contact us before purchasing if you need to match an accessory to an oven from Rational, UNOX, Convotherm or another brand we stock.

Wipe down interior surfaces after each use with a food-safe, non-abrasive cleaner. Remove trays and tray supports regularly for a thorough clean, paying attention to any moisture channels or drainage points. Avoid high-pressure hoses on electrical components and always isolate power before cleaning. Check the manufacturer's guide for recommended cleaning products, as some finishes can be damaged by harsh chemicals. A consistent daily clean prevents dough residue building up and keeps the cabinet running accurately.

Grease filters should be removed and cleaned on a schedule that reflects how heavily the hood is used — a busy bakery line may need weekly attention. Wipe down the canopy and exterior panels with a damp cloth and a mild degreaser. Check that any ducting connections remain secure and unobstructed. Neglecting the filters reduces airflow and can affect the performance of the oven below, so build hood maintenance into your regular kitchen cleaning roster.

Yes. The range covers accessories designed for both fuel types. Zanolli, for example, produces the Citizen PW9 in both electric and gas prover configurations. When you shop the category, filter by the fuel type that matches your existing oven to make sure the accessory you choose is the right fit for your setup.

Pricing varies considerably depending on the type and brand. A simple extension support sits at a much lower price point than a multi-module proving cabinet or a stainless exhaust hood.
