GUIDELINES FOR MAINTAINING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
There are three things that can break down stainless steel and allow corrosion to develop:
(1) Abrasion, (2) Deposits and water and (3) Chlorides.
Avoid rubbing with steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers that can leave iron deposits on stainless steel.
Instead, use plastic scouring pads or soft cloths. For stubborn stains, use products such as Cameo,
Talc or Zud First Impression. Always rub parallel to the polish lines or with the grain.
Hard water can leave deposits that promote rust on stainless steel. Treated water from softeners or
certain filters can eliminate these mineral deposits. Other deposits from food or lubrication must be
properly removed by cleaning. Use mild detergent and non-chloride cleaners. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe
dry. If using chloride-containing cleaners or sanitizers,
rinse repeatedly to avoid stainless steel
corrosion. Where appropriate, apply a polish recommended for stainless steel (such as Benefit or
Super Sheen) for extra protection and lustre.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: THE STEAMER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING OR SERVICING THE STEAMER. COMPARTMENTS CONTAIN LIVE STEAM. STAY
CLEAR WHEN OPENING DOOR(S).
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.
DELIMING
Refer to the water filter manual shipped in the box with your steamer.
STEAM PRESSURE SWITCH
Your steamer is equipped with a 5 psi steam pressure switch. If steam pressure reaches 5 psi or more,
the control circuit of the steamer will be disabled and the steamer will turn off until the pressure is
relieved. The pressure may be caused by clogged cooking cavity steam ports, clogged steam tubing
from the boiler to the cooking cavity, clogged drain plumbing or a blocked cooking cavity drain. Clean
the cooking cavity drain. If the steamer continues to turn off, contact your local Vulcan-authorized
servicer.
SERVICE
Contact your local Vulcan-authorized service office for any repairs or adjustments needed on this
equipment.
TROUBLESHOOTING
When the steamer is shut down and cold water is running continuously into the open drain, either or both
solenoid valves did not close when the steamer was turned off. Contact your local Vulcan-authorized
servicer.
