BURN AND SCALD HAZARD WARNING FOR STEAMERS WITH COMPARTMENT
DOOR STEAM SHUT OFF SWITCH (SCS):
COMPARTMENT DOOR STEAM SHUT OFF SWITCHES ARE NOT INSTANT OFF!!!
•
Even though the release of steam from the steam generator ends as soon as a
door is opened, residual steam in the system may take up to a minute to clear from
the steam lines and the cooking compartment.
•
To help prevent injury, follow all the standard precautions for opening the cooking
compartment door and reaching into the cooking compartment.
Failure to do so can result in death, burns, and scalds.
BURN, SCALD AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
If the drain is blocked, hot water can fill the cooking compartment and spill out when the
cooking compartment door is opened.
Signs of blocked drains include steam or water leaks around the cooking compartment door,
and reduced cooking performance.
To help avoid injury:
•
When checking inside the cooking compartment: always stand to the hinge side and away
from the appliance and open the door slowly.
•
Inspect the drain(s) before each use and clean them if needed.
Failure to follow these precautions can cause burns, scalds, and equipment damage.
CHAPTER 3 BEFORE EACH USE
A. INSPECTING THE COOKING COMPARTMENTS
1. Before every steaming operation, inspect the cooking compartments and remove any food scraps
or debris. See Chapter 5.
2. Inspect and clean the drains and drain screens before each use. See Figure 3-1.
3. Be sure the screens cover the drains. The screens prevent large pieces of food from entering and
blocking the drains.
4. If the drains are slow, see Chapter 5.
B. COMPARTMENT DOOR STEAM SHUT OFF SWITCH (SCS)
•
Steam Shut Off Switches (automatic steam cutoffs) turn OFF the release of steam to a cooking
compartment when the door to that compartment is opened.
