Maintenance

   WARNING

Disconnect the power supply to the appliance 

before cleaning or servicing. 

   CAUTION

Live steam and accumulated hot water in the 

compartment may be released when the door 

is opened.

   CAUTION

The appliance and its parts are hot.  Use care 

when operating, cleaning and servicing the 

appliance.

COLD WATER CONDENSER

The steamer is equipped with a cold water condenser 

in the rear of the cooking chamber which helps to con-

dense the steam prior to discharge into the drain.  The 

steamer freely vents itself by the negative pressure cre-

ated by the condensate water drainage.  This negative 

pressure prevents steam leakage around the door gasket 

and helps draw the steam through the cooking compart-

ment.  Steam leakage at the door may indicate a plugged 

or improperly installed drain.

REMOVAL OF SCALE DEPOSITS

It is recommended that your steamer be delimed once a 

month, or more often if necessary.  
Should your steamer develop a heavy buildup of lime 

scale deposits, use CLR.
Before beginning deliming procedures, ensure that water 

is not overflowing into the cooking compartment.  

The generator tank has a removable sealed tank cover.  

The main purpose of the removable cover is for inspec-

tion of the interior of the tank for lime build up and easy 

removal of large pieces of lime that will not flush out drain.  

Should the tank cover have to be removed, check condi-

tion of sealing gasket before replacing cover.  The hold 

down bolts are to be tightened to 160 inch pound torque 

each.  

 NOTICE

Contact the factory, the factory representative 

or local service company to perform mainte-

nance and repairs. 

 WARNING

Read and follow instructions on the CLR 

bottle.  Use plastic or rubber gloves to avoid 

skin contact.  If CLR comes in contact with 

skin, rinse with clean water.

1.  Drain steam generator by setting the main power 

switch to OFF.  Set cooking timer to “0FF”.

2.  Set the main power switch to DELIME.
3.  Delime port (A) is located on left side at the rear of the 

unit.  Unscrew plug from elbow to allow CLR solution 

to be poured in using a tube and funnel.  Pour in 28 

ounces of solution into the generator (pour slowly to 

avoid spillage).  Remove tube and funnel.  Screw the 

plug back into the elbow so that it is sealed.

4.  Turn main power switch to ON.
5.  Allow steamer to remain in READY cycle for 1-1/2 

hours, then turn main power switch OFF and allow 

generator to drain.

6.  FLUSH CYCLE:  Turn main power switch to ON.  

When READY light comes on, turn main power switch 

to OFF to drain generator.  Repeat this step three 

times to completely flush generator.

7.  Clean exterior and interior.  Use a mild solution of 

soap and water.  Rinse with clean cloth.  Dry with 

soft cloth.  Leave compartment door open when not 

in use.

The steamer is now ready for use.  Turn off for overnight 

shutdown.
