On the Convection Steamer registers 10 psi, steamer
preheating may begin. Skip the remainder of step I, and
begin step 2.
•
For units with a built-in boiler, fill the boiler with water
and start the steam generator as described in step a.
through d. below.
a.
Press the ON end of the POWER on-off rocker switch
located next to the steam pressure gauge (Figure 2).
The red indicator light in the POWER rocker switch
turns on and the steam generator begins to fill with
water units takes about 5 minutes.
b. When the water level in the steam generator reaches a
safe operating level, the amber light in the STEAM
momentary switch turns on. Whenever the amber light
is on, the heaters, steam supply, or burners are
off,
and no steam is being generated. The energy source
(electric, gas, etc.) cannot be activated until the boiler
contains sufficient water, indicated by the amber light.
c. Press the STEAM (amber colored) momentary switch
to produce steam in the boiler this activates the energy
source (electric heaters, gas burners, or steam so-
lenoid valve) and the amber light turns off.
The STEAM switch must be pressed to restart the
steamer after it is shut off for any reason (including a
brief power interruption). No attempt should be made
to operate the equipment during a power failure.
NOTE:
For steamers with built-in gas-fired boilers: If the
burners fail to ignite in four seconds, a safety
circuit energizes the system. In this event toggle
the POWER rocker switch to the OFF position
and back to the ON position. The amber light in
the STEAM momentary switch lights. Wait five
minutes, and then press the STEAM momentary
switch to start the burner ignition cycle once
again.
d. About 20 minutes after starting the boiler in step C; the
steam pressure gauge on the unit base should register
10 psi.
2. Preheat the Convection Steamer cooking
compartments. For accurate, efficient cooking times, the
cooking compartments should be preheated during
startup.
NOTE: With a steamer/kettle combination, if both must
be used at the same time, always heat the kettle
first. When kettle contents begin to simmer,
steam pressure returns, the steamer
compartments may be preheated
a. Close the compartment door by gently swinging it shut.
b. Refer to timer setting instructions under Automatic
Operation for the appropriate control panel. Set the
Timer for each compartments to one minute, and start
the cooking cycles. Steaming begins in each compart-
ment.
NOTE: On Convection Steamers equipped with
electronic key pad control panels, the timer does
not begin counting down until the cooking
compartment reaches operating temperature.
This may take 2 or 3 minutes if the steamer has
not been operating.
c. Steaming continues for the set one minute. When the
preheating is completed, the steam automatically shuts
off
and a 3-second alarm sound. The Convection
Steamer is ready for cooking operations.
COOKING OPERATIONS
The control panels mounted on the cooking compartments
regulate cooking operations. Although cooking operations
are similar for all Convection Steamers, regardless of con-
trol panel configuration, separate instructions are provided
for each control panel type.
Cooking Operations for
The Key Pad Control Panel
The electronic keypad control panel illustrated in Figure 3.
The Cleveland Range Convection Steamer has two cook-
ing modes: Manual and automatic. The Manual Mode
provides continuous steaming and is turned on and off by
the MANUAL/TIMED rocker switch. The Automatic Mode
monitors cooking time and compartment temperature to
provide accurate, efficient, uniform steam cooking.
NOTE:
Whether using timed or manual cooking modes,
optimum steam heat transfer, and therefore a
higher quality food product, is achieved when
shallow, perforated, uncovered pans are used.
WARNING
STEAM may cause severe burns. Use extreme
Caution when opening the steamer door. Turn face away
from the steamer when first opening the door. Do not look
into the cooking compartment until steam has dewed.
KEEP HANDS OUT OF THE COOMNG
COMPARIMENTTO PREVENT BURNS.
Manual Cooking Operation -
Key Pad Controls
Use manual mode for a continuous supply of steam for
long periods, or if the required cooking time is unknown
and frequent inspection is required.
