HEATING ELEMENT TEST
The heating element assembly contains elements
molded into a cast aluminum block. 3 pan units have
6 elements and 5 pan units have 3 elements. See
wiring diagrams.
1.
Turn cooking mode switch to constant.
2.
Measure voltage at heating element terminals on
contactors and verify it against data plate
voltage.
NOTE:
For 480V units, element voltage is 277V.
A.
If voltage is incorrect, find the source of the
problem.
B.
If voltage is correct, check current draw
(amps) through the heating element lead
wires.
NOTE:
This method is preferred over a resistance
check when a clamp on type amp meter is available.
1)
If current draw is correct then heating
element is functioning properly. See
table below for proper values.
2)
If current draw is not correct, turn
cooking mode switch to OFF and
disconnect the electrical supply.
a.
Replace heating element
assembly then proceed to step 3.
C.
If unable to check current draw, a resistance
check may indicate a malfunctioning
element.
1)
Turn the cooking mode switch to OFF
and disconnect the electrical supply.
2)
Remove the lead wires from the
heating element and check resistance
(ohms). See table below for proper
values
3.
Check for proper operation.

NOTES:
1.
Values in the table are nominal. Tolerance is +5/-10%.
2.
3 pan 208V units use three 2003W elements and three 664W elements.
3.
3 pan 208/240V units share the same element assembly block. 240V units use only the
three 2003W-marked elements (2667W actual).

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
CALIBRATION
To set the temperature control for optimum steamer
operation, the elevation above sea level for the service
location must first be determined. The steamer was
preset at the factory to sea level.
The elevation is used in conjunction with the elevation
table below, to determine the correct set point
temperature for the control.
NOTE:
If the set point temperature is too high, the
excess boiling action will cause water droplets to exit
the steam vent pipe, and cause high water usage.
1.
Remove right side panel, see COVERS AND
PANELS .
2.
Place a thermocouple approximately one inch
down in the center of steam vent pipe.
3.
Turn steamer on by selecting constant mode.
4.
Allow steamer temperature to stabilize by
completing two heating cycles.
5.
Record the temperature reading when cook light
goes out.
6.
Using the elevation table, compare the recorded
temperature to the temperature listed for the
specific elevation.
