WARNING
The steamer and its parts are hot. Use care
when operating, cleaning or servicing the
steamer. The cooking compartment contains
live steam. Stay clear while opening door.
Once the steamer is installed and all mechanical connec-
tions have been made, thoroughly test the steamer before
operation.
1. Check that proper water, drain and electrical and gas
connections have been made.
2. Turn main power switch ON.
3. Check that “Ignition” light comes on and that burners
ignite.
4. After approximately 15 minutes, the “READY” light
should come on, indicating that the water tempera-
ture has reached 205oF (97oC). At this time, set timer
to the “5 minute” position. With door open, observe
that no steam is entering the compartment and that
the “COOKING” light is OFF.
5. Close compartment door. The COOKING light should
now illuminate and steam should be heard entering
the compartment shortly after.
6.
After five minutes of operation check that water from
the cold water condenser is flowing through the drain
line.
7. Open compartment door and observe that steam
supply to compartment is cut off.
8. “READY” light should again come on as “COOKING”
light turns “OFF”.
9. Close compartment door and observe cooker op-
eration for several minutes. Operation is correct if
timer dials begin to rotate after a short delay period
required for preheating. After the delay period plus
the “5-Minute” initial setting, the timer dials will return
to the “0-Minute” position, at which a buzzer sounds.
The buzzer is silenced by turning the dial to the “OFF”
position.
10. With all compartments of the steamer operating in the
cooking cycle, check the temperature of the conden-
sate coming out the drain. If the drain temperature
exceeds local plumbing code requirements, adjust
the Thermostatic Cooling Valve (TCV) out for a lower
drain temperature and in for a higher drain temper-
ature. A TCV setting of approximately 2.75 yields a
drain temperature of 140°F. A setting of approximate-
ly 2.5 or 3 yields temperatures of 125°F and 155°F,
respectively.
