Inspect the Cooking Compartment
CAUTION
Steam leaks around the door, cooking compartment
flooding, reduced cooking performance, and
compartment implosion can be caused by a blocked
drain or drain screen, inspect and clean the drain
and drain screen before each use. Never operate the
steamer without the screen in place.
Cleveland Range recommends preheating the SteamCraft 10 cooking com-
partments to maintain accurate, efficient cooking times. Preheating is espe-
cially recommended for the first cooking cycle after power on, and if there
has been a long idle period between cooking cycles.
1. Close the steamer compartment door(s).
2. Set the steamer compartment controls.
• Set the TIMED/MANUAL switch to the TIMED (top) position.
• Set the Timer for 5 minutes by turning the dial clockwise until it
points to the 5 mark.

Start The Steam Supply
On pressure units, press the Steam switch to heat the water in the generator.
In atmospheric units, the water is automatically heated after filling when the
ON/OFF switch is turned on.
Figure 3-8. Compartment Drain Screen
At the back of the cooking compartment, the drain is covered by a movable
drain screen. Refer to Figure 3-8. The screen prevents large food particles
from entering and blocking the drain line. Any blockage of the drain line or
screen can reduce drainage from the cooking compartment resulting in
reduced cooking performance, equipment damage, and a hazard to the
operator. A blocked or slow drain may cause:
• Hot water to collect in the compartment and spill out when the
compartment door opens.
• Pressure fluctuations in the compartment, resulting in steam leaks around
the door gasket, or compartment implosion.
• Reduced convection in the compartment, reducing cooking performance.
Before every steaming operation, inspect the cooking compartment and
remove any food scraps or debris from the racks, walls, and floor of the
compartment. Pay particular attention to the drain and drain screen.
1. DO NOT USE the steamer if water stands in the drain opening. Refer to
Chapter 4, drain cleaning instructions immediately.
2. Remove any food or debris that is blocking the drain or screen.
3. Be sure the screen covers the drain. The screen prevents large pieces of
food from entering and blocking the drain.
