Operation
B. Operating Procedure
1. Turn on the water supply to the unit.
2. Turn on electrical power to the unit.
3. Turn the on/off switch on the front of the cabinet to “ON.”
a. The boiler drain valve will close and the unit will fill with water.
b. When the water reaches the “mid” probe, the red RESET light will
come on.
c. Press the start switch.
d. The green light in the switch will come on, the RESET light will go off,
and the heater element contactors will close.
e. When the water level reaches the “hi” probe, the water supply to the
boiler will shut off.
f. After about 15 minutes, the pressure gauge will indicate that the
pressure is rising. When it reaches 12 PSI (83 kPa), the heater
contactors will open. Thereafter, the contactors will close as the
pressure decreases to maintain the pressure at 12 PSI (83 kPa).
g. To shut down the unit, turn the on/off switch to OFF. The unit will drain
automatically after it has cooled to about 130ºF.
4. Load food into pans so that it is in uniform layers. For best results, pans
should be filled to about the same levels, and should be even on top.
5. Open the door and slide the pans onto the supports. If you will only be
steaming one pan, put it in the middle rack position.
6. Close the door.
NOTE: The door must be closed before steam will enter the cavity. If the
door is opened when the timer is on, the steam will stop.
7. Turn the timer to one of the following settings:
a. If you want to steam for a definite period of time, set the timer to
that time. Steam will be delivered to the cavity for that time, and
then stop. A buzzer and red LED will indicate that the timed cycle is
complete. Steam flow stops.
b. If you want to steam continuously, turn the timer to the ON position.
A green light will come on. Steam will be delivered to the cavity until
the timer is returned to OFF.
8. Open the door.
9. Using a pad or oven mitt to protect your hands, remove the pans from the
steamer.
10. To shut down the steamer, turn the Timer to the OFF position.
