1. Operating and Cooking Procedure – Timed Cook Mode

In timed mode, the timer starts and stops the cooking operation. When in the timed mode and the
compartment door is closed, the unit will maintain the compartment at the standby heat temperature
whenever the unit is not performing a timed cook operation.

(1) Refer to Inspecting the Cooking Compartment in Chapter 2, Section A Part 4. Inspect and clean the

drain, KleanShield¥ and cooking compartment as required.

(2) Refer to the Power ON instructions in Chapter 2, Section A, Part 5 and turn ON and fill the unit.

(3) If necessary, refer to Preheating the Steamer, in Chapter 2, Section A Part 6, and preheat the

cooking compartment.

(4) Slide the pans of food into the slide racks inside the steamer. Do not place pans or anything else on

the bottom of the compartment.

For best cooking results, use shallow, 2-1/2 inch deep, perforated pans without covers. These
give the best heat transfer and shortest cooking time.

(5) Close the steamer door.

(6) Check the control panel settings. At this point the settings should be:

The ON/OFF Lever is in the ON (down) position and the Power indicator light is lit.

The TIMED/MANUAL switch is in the TIMED (left) position.

CAUTION

Some foods drip juices and food debris. Use a solid catch
pan under perforated pans when steaming food that will drip
excessive juices and debris. Failure to use a catch pan can
cause a clogged drain or KleanShield¥.

WARNING

When checking inside the steamer always open the door slowly
and stand to the side and back away from the steamer. Water
leaking from the door gasket can be a sign of a blocked drain. If
the drain is blocked, hot water can accumulate inside the
compartment and spill out when the door is opened.

WARNING

Even though the heating elements are de-energized as soon as a door is opened, it
may take up to a minute for production of steam to end and residual steam in the
system to clear from the cooking compartment. To avoid possible injury always wait
until this residual steam has cleared before reaching into the cooking compartment.

Never operate a SteamChef¥ 3 Steamer without the KleanShield¥ properly

installed in the bottom of the water reservoir or the fan guard installed over the fan.
