Manual Cooking Procedure

Follow this procedure when cooking with the SteamCraft 3.1 in manual
mode.
1. Refer to Inspect the Cooking Compartment on page 34. Inspect and clean
the drain and cooking compartment as required.
2. In manual mode, the operator can bring the compartment to cooking
temperature by either preheating or increasing the cooking time. If the
operator chooses to preheat the cooking compartment manually, refer to
page 35, Preheating the SteamCraft 3.1.
Some foods drip juices. Use a solid catch pan under
perforated pans when steaming food that will drip juices.
Failure to use a catch pan can cause a dogged drain.
3. Put food into the pans and slide the pans into the slide racks inside the
steamer. Do not place pans or anything else on the bottom of the
compartment.
• When cooking foods that will drip, such as meat, poultry, or fish, put a
solid catch pan in the bottom slide of the racks.
• For best cooking results, use shallow, 2-1/2 inch deep, perforated pans
without covers (Cleveland Range model number PP-25). These give
the best heat transfer and shortest cooking time.
4. Close the steamer door. Select the manual mode by pressing the
MANUAL (bottom) end of the TIMED/MANUAL rocker switch. The
steaming cycle starts as soon as the switch is pressed.
• The steam generator begins beating the water to steam.
• Steam fills the cooking compartment and begins cooking the food.
5. If the timer is used to manually monitor bow long the compartment is at
cooking temperature, clear, set, and start the timer.
a. Press and hold the CLEAR key to zero the timer display.
b.Set the cooking time using the number keys. For example set the timer
to 10 minutes and 30 seconds by pressing the 1030 number key in
sequence. For more details and examples refer to step 7 of the Timed
Mode Operating Procedure.
c. Press the START/STOP key to start the timer count down. When
the timer reaches zero, a buzzer sounds continuously.
d. Press the START/STOP key to silence the buzzer. Remember, in
manual mode, the timer does not control the steaming functions.
