Operation
NOTE: Before the steamer can be operated as described in this section, the pilot
burner flame must be established. For details see the Initial Start-Up section and the
Automatic Operation of Pilot on previous page.
A. Controls
Operator controls are on the front right of the unit. The control panel on new
models has the following touch pads and indicator lights:
• The ON/OFF touch pad gets the steamer ready for use, or shuts it off.
• The READY indicator light shows that the steam generator is at standby
temperature and the cavity is hot enough to begin steaming.
• The DELIME indicator light is lit when the unit is operating in the cleaning
mode.
• The SERVICE indicator light shows when the water level probes have stopped
working, and need to be cleaned (normally an indication of lime deposits).
When one probe is not working, the DELIME light flashes briefly every few
seconds. If both probes fail the SERVICE light will come on continuously and
the beeper will sound.
• The HI TEMP indicator light comes on when the steam generator is too hot.
The unit will automatically shut off, and cannot be turned on again until the
steam generator cools and the HI TEMP indicator light goes out.
• The TIMING indicator light stays on when the timer is running.
• The CLEAN touch pad is used to start the automatic 50 minute cleaning cycle.
The timer is used in three ways:
1. In the OFF position the steam generator stays at a low boil or “holding”
temperature.
2. When a cook time is set, the unit steams until the timer runs down to OFF.
Steaming stops, the DONE light (a red light on older models) comes on and
a beeper sounds.
3. With the timer turned to the ON position, the unit steams continuously. The
green light stays lit. The steamer will not time down.
