Standard Operating Procedures
Steps:
1. Turn on the POWER (EMERGENCY STOP) switch, and then turn on the STEAM switch. If the
alarm beeps once, and the POWER light is on, the machine is ready to operate.
(If you are starting the Optima for the first time or using after draining the steam vessel, refer to
“Initial Operation” on the previous page.)
2. Once heating starts, it will reach the operating pressure within 6~21 minutes.
(Pre-heating time varies per model).
3. After the steam pressure reaches 8.5 bar (123.2 psi), open the steam outlet valve(s) and begin
to operate.
Review all safety precautions on page 1~2. Never leave the machine unattended.
The exhaust is very hot. Take precautions when operating the machine in a
confined space.
[Automatic air purge system]
Optima Steamer is equipped with an electronic
valve that purges air to avoid false pressure
reading of the system. Whenever the Thermistor
reading is below 100
℃
(212°F), the system
assumes that the high pressure in the steam
vessel is due to internal air and will open the
electronic valve to remove internal air.
