OPERATIONAL SAFETY

CHAPTER 3. OPERATION

The SteamCraft 3.1 is as safe and easy to operate as a touch tone phone or
a kitchen timer. To use the steamer safely and effectively, each operator
must read and understand this chapter completely before starting operation.
The owners and operators of the SteamCraft 3.1 should retain these
instructions in an easily accessible location for future reference and training.
The owner(s) and operator(s) of the SteamCraft 3.1 must be aware that
steam can cause serious injuries and equipment damage. Pay particular
attention to the Operational Safety section of this chapter, and the
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS displayed in this manual and on the
equipment
DEATH, INJURY. AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE could
result from the improper installation of a SteamCraft 3.1.
Before starting a recently installed or repaired steamer,
be sure it is installed according to the instructions in
Chapter 2.
The safe and effective operation of any steamer depends upon proper
installation, use, maintenance, and repair. Operational safety must en-
compass all of these factors. This Operational Safety section outlines the
minimum safety policies that should be considered when using one or more
SteamCraft 3.1's. It is assumed that any operational safety program must
be tailored to the specific site and use of the equipment. Such a program
will pay handsome dividends in equipment life, performance, and reduced
down-time.
Bum hazards are present in any professional food service operation. This is
especially so when steam is used in the cooking process. When using the
SteamCraft 3.1 steamer, observe the following precautions.
• Remember at all times that steam can cause severe burns.
• Do not open the steamer door before steam flow stops.
• Stand back when opening the compartment door. Open the door slightly to
allow steam to vent before looking or reaching into cooking compartment
• Do not reach into the cooking compartment until the steam has cleared.
• Do not reach into steamer or handle hot items without wearing heat-proof
gloves. Wet or damp gloves conduct heat, and may cause bums when
touching hot items.
