C24EO SERIES STEAMER - ELECTRICAL OPERATION

ELECTRICAL OPERATION

COMPONENT FUNCTION

Buzzer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Creates audible signal when timed cook cycle is complete and

when a low water condition exists.

Limiting  Contactor  (1CON) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Supplies line voltage to heating element assembly. Energized

whenever Power Switch (1S) is on and High Limit Thermostat
(1TAS) and Low Water Thermostat (2TAS) are closed.

Regulating  Contactor  (2CON) . . . . . . . . . . . . . Supplies line voltage to heating element assembly. Energized

whenever Hold Thermostat (3TAS) is closed or the temperature
controller calls for heat.

Heating  Element . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Located below water reservoir. Heats water to produce steam.

Fuses (1FU & 2FU) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Protect control circuitry from over-currents.

Low  Water  Light  (1LT)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Amber (AM) colored light. Lit when Low Water Thermostat

(2TAS) senses water level is too low inside steamer.

On  Light  (2LT) 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Amber (AM) colored light. Lit when Power Switch (1S) is on.

Cook  Light  (3LT) 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Red (RD) colored light. Lit when High Limit (1TAS) and Low

Water (2TAS) thermostats are closed, door is closed and timer
is set.

Relay  (K1)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Controls Regulating Contactor (2CON) based on input from

Hold Thermostat (3TAS) and Temperature Controller. Does not
allow Timer Motor to run while Hold Thermostat (3TAS) is
closed.

Relay  (K2)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Latches Power Switch (1S) circuit. Turns on Low Water Light

(1LT) and Buzzer when steamer is low on water.

Relay  (K3)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Controlled by Power Switch (1S). Keeps Buzzer from sounding

and Low Water Light (1LT) off when switch is in off position.

Power  Switch  (1S)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Rocker switch that turns steamer OFF and ON (momentary on).

Switch also resets Low Water Light (1LT) and Buzzer.

Door  Switch  (1SW) 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Removes power from a portion of the steamer control circuit

when door is opened.

High  Limit  Thermostat  (1TAS) . . . . . . . . . . . . . Protects steamer by removing control circuit power if the heating

element assembly temperature goes above 495

E

F.

Low  Water  Thermostat  (2TAS)  . . . . . . . . . . . . Monitors presence of water inside steamer. 

Hold  Thermostat  (3TAS)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Controls temperature of cavity for pre-heat/hold mode (opens at

175

E

 F). Disables timer countdown if cavity temperature is too

low.

Timer  Motor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Counts cook time of product when time is dialed. Energizes

buzzer and de-energizes temperature controller when time
expires.

Temperature  Control  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Monitors temperature probe and cycles power to regulating

contactor (2CON) for steam generation.

Temperature  Probe  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Senses cooking compartment temperature at steam vent and

sends a corresponding DC voltage back to the temperature
control (J-type thermocouple).

Transformer  (1T)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Steps down line voltage to 120VAC control circuit voltage.
