INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Model SCX-16, convection steamer mounted on cabinet base and a steam coil boiler, designed
to ASME Code and approved as a steam boiler restricted to operation at pressure not to
exceed 15 psi. The steamer has two compartments, each with a pan capacity of 16 (1") pans,
8 (2½”) pans and 4 (4") pans.
BASIC FUNCTION
:
The sequence of operation is as follows:
1. Turn on the main power switch. A green pilot light will indicate main power is on and steam
generating will begin. In approximately 20 minutes, sufficient amount of pressurized steam
will have been generated in the heat exchanger and the READY pilot light will come on.
OFF shuts off the steam supply to the boiler and opens the automatic blowdown valve, if so
equipped, emptying the boiler and releasing water and steam to the drain. The manual
blowdown valve will have to be opened to drain if not equipped with automatic blowdown
valve.
2. Boiler pressure gauge should read 9 - 11 psi during operation, 0 psi during shutdown.
3. The compartment cooker is ready for use when the READY light is on. Place pans of food
to be cooked into compartment(s) and close door(s).
4. Set timer(s) to cook time desired. Compartment will pre-heat to 185°F before the timer will
start. The pre-heat thermostat allows for varying product and size of portions to be cooked.
Cooking will commence and cooking time may be interrupted at any time by opening door(s)
and resumed again by closing door(s).
5. The buzzer will sound indicating the end of the cooking cycle and that steam has stopped
entering the compartment(s). The COOKING pilot will go off and the READY light will come
on. Turn the timer(s) to the OFF position to stop the buzzer.
