A. Operating and Cooking Procedure – All Models
NOTE: The 22CET has an Energy/Water Saver Feature that automatically lowers the cooking
compartment temperature to the Standby temperature if the steamer is left in Manual Mode (timer
models) or is left ON (ON/OFF models) for more than 60 minutes without opening the door. Also,
the condenser water does not flow until the cooking compartment reaches the minimum cooking
temperature to reduce steam loss and condenser water use.
•
If cooking times longer than 60 minutes are required, open and close the cooking
compartment door after 60 minutes to reset the timer.
•
If condenser flow starts before the cooking compartment reaches cooking temperature, turn
OFF the steamer and call your qualified Cleveland Range authorized service representative.
1. Before Cooking or Rethermalizing
a. Inspect the cooking compartment, drain, KleanShield
, and clean as required BEFORE
turning ON the SteamChef. It will be too hot to inspect and clean safely after turning ON.
See Chapters 3 and 6.
b. Turn ON and fill the SteamChef. See Chapter 3.
c. Preheat the cooking compartment. See Chapter 3.
d. Slide the pans of food into the slide racks inside the SteamChef. Do not place pans or
anything else on the bottom of the compartment or on the KleanShield
.
e. For best results, use 2-1/2 inch deep, perforated pans without covers. These give the
best heat transfer and shortest cooking time.
f.
Close the cooking compartment door.
2. While cooking, occasionally check the water in the reservoir for food particles and oils. If the
water is dirty or cloudy, change the water. See Chapters 3 and 6.
3. After Cooking or Rethermalizing
a. Carefully open the cooking compartment door and remove the pans from the slide racks.
b. If the SteamChef will not be used again, perform the Cleaning Procedure in Chapter 6.
B. Operating and Cooking Procedure – Timed Mode
In Timed Mode, the Timer starts and stops the cooking operation.
NOTE: When in the Timed Mode and the compartment door is closed, and the Timer is NOT set,
the cooking compartment remains at the Standby temperature.
1. The control panel settings must be:
•
The ON/OFF Lever is in the ON (down) position and the Power indicator light is lit.
•
The TIMED/MANUAL switch is in the TIMED position.
2. Set the required cooking time. The Timer starts counting down as soon as the compartment
reaches cooking temperature.
3. When the Timer reaches zero, a buzzer sounds for 3 seconds; the heater turns OFF, and the
cooking compartment temperature lowers to the Standby temperature.
C. Operating and Cooking Procedure – Manual Mode
The operator starts and stops the steaming operations, and controls the cooking time, including
cooking compartment heat-up time.
NOTE: If cooking times longer than the 60 minutes are desired, it is necessary to reset the
Energy/Water Saver timer.
To reset the timer without interrupting the cooking, quickly open and close the cooking
compartment door.
Tip:
Use the Manual Mode to maintain the cooking compartment temperature between batches.
