NOTE:
!
It is important to keep Fresh-O-Matic cover closed between uses so that proper temperature is maintained for
maximum efficiency. The cover must be closed to visually see steam and hold steam. Pressing and holding the
Steam Button will rapidly cool the heating plate causing lengthy reheating time.
OPERATION
1.
Plug Fresh-O-Matic into electric outlet. Use on appropriate 120VAC or 240VAC current only.
2.
Press Power Button. The power light, water level light(s) and heating light will illuminate at the same time.
3.
Lift “snap cap.”
4.
Fill water tank with water to “FULL” level shown on water level light (approximately 4½ quarts). Refill as necessary – being sure to stop
when green light is illuminated. DO NOT OVERFILL. A funnel may be used, with care.
5.
There is approximately ½ quart of water in the tank when the “Low Level (Red) Light” is on. The steam button may be used while the red
light is on. The “Low Level (Red) Light” will blink when the tank is empty and must be filled.
6.
Fresh-O-Matic is ready for use when heating light goes off first time. Light will go on and off periodically, indicating operating temperature
is being maintained.
7.
Lift cover; place food to be served in the Fresh-O-Matic.
8.
Close cover; press Steam Button two (2) times approximately every 30 seconds. Note: Each push of the steam button releases
approximately 10 cc’s (
⅓
ounce) of steam/water. See following pages for complete instructions.
9.
When first filling the Fresh-O-Matic, the steam button may need to be pressed and held approximately 5-10 seconds (once or twice) in
order to prime the water pump.
10. Open cover; food is hot, ready to serve.
