SERVICE INFORMATION
SECTION 6:
STEAM-EX MODEL GCX-2
FLOOR MOUNTED CONVECTION STEAMER
COOKER PROBLEMS
DOOR GASKET LEAKS
If Gasket is nicked, cut or at end of useful life it must be replaced.
However, if leak occurs in one corner only and Gasket appears serviceable, then turn stainless steel screw on Gasket
Plate immediately adjacent to leaking corner one half turn counterclockwise. Do not attempt excessive turning of screws
since misalignment of Door is likely.
WATER ACCUMULATES ON BOTTOM OF COMPARTMENT
Water accumulation on bottom of cooking compartment is primarily condensed steam and failure to drain out quickly and
completely may be due to clogged debris on Compartment Drain Screen which must be pulled out, completely removed
and thoroughly cleaned and then replaced.
COOKING CYCLE CANNOT BE ACTIVATED
Although this appliance has been thoroughly tested, it is advisable to inspect that all wire terminations are positive and
secure before assuming any other malfunction.
When Power Switch on Generator Control Box of Cabinet is ON and both COOK TIME-MINUTES 'windows' do not
display "00", then obviously power is not being supplied to Cooker components. Check that all wire terminations are
positively secured.
When Power Switch on Generator Control Box is ON, both COOK TIME-MINUTES 'windows' display "00" and after about
15 minutes steam generation shows pressure of 8 psi minimum on Pressure Gauge and consequently both Digital
Controls indicate READY (both green lights lit), then touch 2 on both Digital Controls and "02" will be displayed. Then,
with doors closed, touch START on both. Digital Controls and READY lights should go off and COOK lights (red) should
come on and steam should now enter both cooking compartments. However, if on one compartment touching START
does not activate steam generation and consequently COOK light refuses to come on them remove Cooker Side
Enclosure Panel and 'jump' both terminals marked 'A' and 'B' on Printed Circuit Control Board and then touch START
again. If COOK light now comes on and steam enters compartment then the Magnetic Switch is located directly above the
Striker lodged in the panel pocket and must be slightly rotated so that the 'reeds' in the glass case are directly one behind
the other when facing front to back for proper magnetic action of door magnet. If however the Magnetic Switch is
defective it must be replaced. Remove by placing slotted screwdriver under spring retaining clip and wedge outwards and
remove switch from 'pocket'. Care must be exercised not to damage glass casing when inserting new switch. Assure that
'reeds' are one behind the other when facing front to back to appliance.
