1.2 DESCRIPTION
The Steam-Tech Plus is a pressureless steam cooker consist -
ing of two independently controlled cooking compartments in
a single cabinet. Each compartment has its own independent
control panel, consisting of a power switch, mode select switch,
constant steam switch, timer (mechanical or electronic), steam
demand indicator, and indicator lights for each of its functions.
The Steam-Tech Plus is equipped with many unique features
and functions. These features and functions will be discussed
in greater detail in section 4 on page 4.1.
1.3 COOKING CAPACITIES
Each cooking compartment will accept:
Three 12” x 20” x 2.5” Pans.
The inside dimensions of the cooking compartments are:
14.5” Wide x 10.75” High x 23” Deep, ( 368mm ) W x
( 273mm ) H x ( 584mm ) D
1.4 BASIC FUNCTIONING
Each Steam-Tech Plus cooking compartment has its own in -
dependent steam generator. Each os its two cooking compart -
ments may be operated either independently or simultaneously.
Each compartment is equipped with identical controls. These
controls allow it to be used in the “TIMED STEAM” mode,
“CONSTANT STEAM” untimed mode, or the “STEAM & HOLD”
mode.
The Steam-Tech Plus utilizes a unique STEAM DEMANDS fea -
ture. This feature allows the Steam-Tech Plus to operate at ex -
tremely high cooking efficiencies. The Steam Demand System
creates only the amount of steam as will be absorbed by the
food being cooked, no more and no less. No excess steam is
created, therefor, nothing is lost down the drain.
To begin operation, the POWER switch is pressed into the ON
position, illuminating the power light. This opens the water feed
solenoid valves, to both the steam generator and tempering
tank. Once the appropriate water levels have been reached
the heating element is energized. When the water temperature

in the steam generator has reached 193
O
F the green READY
light is illuminated indicating that the unit is now ready to make
steam and all controls are functional.
Set the MODE SELECT switch to either STEAM or STEAM &
HOLD. After selecting a mode the TIMER knob must be set
to the desired cooking time for the generator to begin making
steam.
In the STEAM mode the unit will create steam for the duration
of the time you have set. Once the timer reaches the end of
its cycle ( 0 minutes ) the unit will stop making steam and the
buzzer will sound. The buzzer is silenced bt returning the timer
knob to the OFF position. The generator will idle at 193
O
F.
In the STEAM & HOLD mode the unit will create steam for the
duration of the time you have set. Once the timer reaches the
end of its cycle ( 0 minutes ) the unit will stop making steam and
go into HOLD mode illuminating the amber hold light. When in
the HOLD mode the auxiliary thermostatically controlled elec -
tric strip heater is activated. The strip heater is mounted onto
the outside of the cooking compartment and will now act as a
holding cabinet until you call for steam again. During this time
the generator will idle at 193
O
F.
The CONSTANT STEAM button overrides the MODE SELECT
switch and the TIMER. When the button is depressed, the
green constant steam light is illuminated. In this mode the gen -
erator will create steam indefinitely as controlled by the steam
demand system regardless of the MODE SELECT switch and
TIMER setting, until the CONSTANT STEAM button is pressed
again. While the constant steam button is depressed the timer
may be used as an alarm only as it will have no effect on the
creation of steam. To exit the constant steam mode the con -
stant steam button must be pressed again. This will cause the
green constant steam light to go off. The generator will now idle
at 193
O
F ready to make steam.
All drainage is routed through the common tempering tank,
which regulates the drain water temperature. This tank cools
the drain water to 130
O
F before discharging it down the main
drain line.
