Blodgett SN-G Series - Manual (Page 12)

10 OM-SN-G
Initial Start-Up
WARNING
WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY
FROM STEAM COMING OUT OF THE UNIT.
THE STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.
After the steamer has been installed, test it to ensure that the unit is operating correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing materials from the interior and exterior of
the unit.
2.
Make sure the water supply line is open.
3.
Make sure that the gas supply line is open and that the manual knob on
the main gas valve is turned to the “on” position. This valve is located
behind the front access panel on the right side of the unit.
4. Turn on electrical service to the unit. The unit will not operate without
electrical power. Do not attempt to operate the unit during a power failure.
5. The steamer will not operate until the pilot burner has been ignited. To light
the pilot burner, activate the pilot switch located behind the sliding door
located on the right cover panel. When the pilot ignition sequence has been
successfully completed, a green light - on the pilot switch will glow.
6.
The “trial for ignition” period is roughly 90 seconds. If the pilot burner does
not light within about 90 seconds after the switch is activated, the ignition
system automatically stops gas flow to the pilot burner and stops the
ignition trial. If this happens, turn off the pilot switch and repeat the trial for
ignition. During the initial start-up, the pilot may require several trials for
ignition until all the air is bled from the gas piping. Subsequent start-ups
should require only about 5 seconds to achieve pilot ignition.
NOTE: See Automatic Operation of Pilot at the end of this section.
7. Once the pilot burner flame has been established (the green light on the
pilot switch is on), press the “ON” switch for the desired steamer cavity.
The steam generator will fill with water.
NOTE: The door MUST be closed for the main (high) burner to work.
8. When the steam generator has filled with water, the low and main burners
will ignite automatically. Within 8-10 minutes the READY light will come on,
indicating that the water has reached its standby temperature. When the
READY light is displayed, you may take any one of the following steps:
a. Set the timer to the desired time for timed steaming.
b. Turn the timer knob to the manual ON position for continuous
steam.
c. Let the unit stay at standby temperature.
