5.1 Steamer Will Not Power On

•  Verify that the steamer is plugged into the proper outlet.
•  Verify the the external breaker is on.
•  If the ‘High Water’ warning light is on open the drain valve to drain the water until the light goes 

out.

•  Verify that the float ball is in place.

5.2 Steamer Will Not Fill with Water

•  Ensure water supply to unit is turned on.
•  Clean two water sensors in cooking cabinet

5.3 Steamer is Overfilling with Water (Connected)

•  Ensure unit is level.
•  Clean two water sensors in cooking cabinet.

5.4 Steamer Does Not Heat

•  If the operators display doesn’t light up, see Section 5.1.
•  Verify the steamer door is closed, as the unit will not heat when the door is open.

5.5 Steam Comes Out of Door (Overpressure)

•  Verify that the door is completely closed and latched.
•  Wait a minute to see if it stops. After the steamer refills with water it is normal for some steam to 

come out the door for a brief amount of time, usually less that one minute.

5.6 Steamer Temperature is Low

•  When the steamer automatically refills the fresh water, the temperature of the steamer will drop. 

The steamer should reheat quickly.

•  If -99F or -1F appears call AccuTemp for assistance.
•  If frozen product is added the temperature will take time to recover. 

5.7 Food is Undercooked

•  Verify that the door is completely closed and latched.
•  Opening and closing the door frequently can lower the temeperature and increase cook times.
•  Verify the steam vent is clear of debris.
•  Call AccuTemp for assistance with recipe timing.
