Operation
WARNING
WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY
FROM THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE
UNIT. THE STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.
B. Operating Procedure
1. Press the ON/OFF rocker to the ON position, (Fi ) is displayed in the TIME
display window. The steam generating reservoir will begin filling, displaying
(Fi ) and (Fi ) as it fills. After initial fill the unit will begin draining
displaying (Fi ), refilling displaying (Fi ), and then begin heating until the
READY light comes on (about 15-20 minutes).
2. Load food into pans in uniform layers. Pans should be filled to about the
same levels, and should not be mounded.
3. Open the door and slide the pans into the supports. If you will only be
steaming one pan, put it in the middle position. Some foods will cause
foam. When cooking foods that foam, such as shrimp, put an empty solid
2½” deep pan in the bottom slot of the pan racks.
4. Close the door. When the READY indicator is lit take one of the following steps:
If you want to steam the food for a certain length of time push the TIMED
button and set the desired time with the TIMER knob. The timer will
automatically run the steamer for the set time and then STOP. A beeper will
sound. Push CANCEL to stop beeping.
If you want to steam continuously push the MANUAL button. The unit will
continue steaming until stopped.
Push STOP to stop producing steam.
5. To remove pans from cavity open the door. Remove the pans from the
steamer using hot pads or oven mitts to protect your hands from the hot
pans.
6. To shut off the unit press the ON/OFF rocker switch to OFF, (FL ) will
appear in the timer display. The steam generating reservoir will begin
draining, displaying (Fi ) and (Fi ) as it drains, and refill to the high float
twice and finally drain completely and turn off the unit.
NOTE: When filling or draining the steam generating reservoir ( ) will be
displayed indicating the water level in the reservoir. ( ) reservoir is empty,
( ) low float is satisfied, ( ) high float is satisfied.
NOTE: If a large amount of shrimp is cooked in the unit, foaming will occur
because the steam lid actually gets so hot that the shrimp will cook on its
surface and the shrimp proteins in the dripping will foam on the surface of
the steam lid.
* To avoid this use a catch pan to catch shrimp drippings and proteins to
prevent foaming when cooking a large amount of shrimp.
