count down to zero, with an audible tone to signal
the completion of the cycle.

ent settings until correct cycle for that product is
found.

performing the daily Cleaning procedures in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
UP & DOWN ARROW BUTTONS
The actual Generator temperature can be viewed by
depressing the
UP ARROW
button (Figure 3) at any
time. The arrow buttons are used with the other buttons
to program the unit (see the Programming section of
this manual for more information).
LOCK LEVER
When in the full forward (towards operator) posi-
tion, the Lock Lever (Figure 3) secures the Generator
Manifold in position on top of the unit. Moving the
Lock Lever to the full rearward position unlocks the
Generator Manifold, allowing it to be removed for
cleaning or servicing.
NOTE: Do NOT force the lever into position.
HI-LIMIT RESET THERMOSTAT
If the Generator overheats for any reason, the Hi-Limit
Thermostat cuts off power to the Generator. This can
be reset by turning the unit off, unplugging the power
cord, and allowing the unit to cool for 45 minutes.
Remove the Baskets and Basket Housing. Flip the unit
over and carefully remove the Front Control Housing.
Then press the Hi-Limit’s red reset button (Figure 8). If
the Hi-Limit Thermostat requires continuous resetting,
contact your Authorized Service Agency
WARNING
To avoid injury, be careful when pulling basket
assembly out from unit. Be sure to allow steam
to escape before putting hands or face over the
steamer.
