MAINTENANCE

WARNING

:  THE STEAMER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT.  USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,

CLEANING OR SERVICING THE STEAMER.  THE COOKING COMPARTMENT CONTAINS LIVE
STEAM.  STAY CLEAR WHEN OPENING DOOR.

REMOVAL OF LIME SCALE DEPOSITS

The steamer should be delimed at a convenient time after the DELIME GENERATOR light comes on.
Use the CLR TREATMENT KIT available from your Vulcan-authorized service office.  Follow the
instructions in the Kit to delime the steam generator.

COLD WATER CONDENSER

The steamer is equipped with a cold water condenser in the rear of the cooking chamber which helps
to condense the steam prior to discharge into the drain.  The steamer freely vents itself by the negative
pressure created by the condensate water drainage.  This negative pressure prevents steam leakage
around the door gasket and helps draw the steam through the cooking compartment.  Steam leakage
at the door may indicate a plugged or improperly installed drain.

SERVICE

Contact your local Vulcan-authorized service office for any repairs or adjustments needed on this
equipment.
