OPERATION
Figure 3. Operator Controls
TIMED CYCLE
The desired timed steaming cycle (up to 99 minutes
and 59 seconds) is selected by pressing and releas-
ing any of the four menu buttons (Figure 3). The main
Control Board applies power to the solenoid at regular
intervals for the duration of the displayed cycle time.
The display counts down to zero when the cycle is
complete, then reverts back to the original programmed
cycle time and the unit is ready for the next cycle.
IMPORTANT: Your steamer is factory programmed
for the following (on each of the 4 menu channels):
• Total Cycle Time = 10 seconds [00:10]
(Range: 1 second to 99 minutes and 59 seconds)
• Shot Interval Rate (RATE) = 5 seconds [00:05]
(Range: 1 second to 5 minutes and 59 seconds)
• Steam Shot Time (SHOT) =
0.70 second
[00:70]
(Range: 0.10 second to 2.50 seconds)
This converts approximately 3/4 oz. (25 milliliters)
of water to steam every 5 seconds for a 10 second
steaming cycle. To change any of these settings refer
to the Programming section of this manual
.
Operator Controls
POWER SWITCH
When the Power Switch is on, the Control Board
is activated. If the Generator temperature is below
the factory preset setpoint, power is applied to the
Generator until the setpoint temperature is reached.
The Generator is constantly monitored and power is
regulated to maintain the temperature setpoint.
MENU BUTTONS
When any menu button is pressed and released,
power is supplied to the solenoid, the solenoid oper-
ates, and water sprays onto the heated Generator sur-
face. The water flashes immediately into live steam to
heat the product.
One of two operational modes can be used: Single
Shot or Timed Cycle
SINGLE SHOT
The
SINGLE SHOT
button (Figure 3) is pressed and
released to initiate a single shot. The Control Board
applies power to the solenoid and a single shot of
steam occurs.
