Wait 5 minutes before turning the unit on again.
The tempering tank and selected cooking
compartment's steam generator will fill with water.
Once full, the burner will automati cally preheat the

approximately 7 minutes. When the generator is ready
to create steam, the green READY light will come on.
4.2.2 Cooking
NOTE
: The green READY light must be on
before any controls become operational.
1. Slide pans of food into the cooking compartment
pan support racks.
2. Firmly close the cooking compartment door.
3. Select a cooking cycle, either timed or untimed.
4. For timed cooking, set the MODE SELECT switch
to the desired cooking mode and set the TIMER,
to the desired cook time.
5. At the end of a timed cook cycle (when the timer
has timed out to zero), return the TIMER knob to

a. Silence the buzzer (when using the
STEAM Mode).
b. Exit the HOLD function (when using the

DEMAND light will cycle on and off. This indicates
the automatic creation of steam as it is called for
by the food being cooked.
CONDENSATE WARNING:
Normal steam cooking conditions will create
some condensate due to temperature differences
between the steam and the objects/surfaces it
contacts. When an excessive volume of
condensate appears in the cooking compartment,
the steam generator water level control should be
checked for possible malfunction and the need for
maintenance. Continued use of the equipment,
without maintenance, will create a potential for
scalding.
