Operation; Main External Power Switch; Door Interlock Switch; Inspect The Cooking Compartment - Cleveland SteamChef 22CET3.1 Operator's Manual

CHAPTER 3 OPERATION
A. Main External Power Switch
• Usually the Main External Power Switch is left ON.
To turn ON the Main External Power Switch:
•
1. Turn the ON/OFF lever/switch to the OFF
position.
2. Turn ON the Main External Power Switch. See
Figure 3-1.
NOTE: The appliance wil perform the automatic
3-minute drain rinse cycle.
B. Door Interlock Switch
The steamer compartment of the SteamChef Steamer is equipped with an automatic door interlock
switch that turns off the heating elements and shuts off the convection fan and condenser when the
door to the compartment is opened.
Even though the heat shuts off as soon as the door is opened, it may take up to a minute for production of
steam to end and residual steam in the system to clear from the cooking compartment.
To help avoid injury, always wait until the residual steam clears and the convection fan stops before
reaching into the cooking compartment, and always wear dry heatproof gloves when reaching into the
cooking compartment. Wet or damp gloves conduct heat and can cause burns when touching hot items.
Failure to do so can cause burns, scalds, and other injuries.
C. Inspect the Cooking Compartment
1. Inspect the cooking compartment while the
steamer is cold. After the steamer is turned on,
it will be too hot to inspect or clean safely.
2. Before turning ON the power switch/lever to the
SteamChef steamer make sure the inside of the
steamer is clean. See Chapter 6 for complete
cleaning instructions.
3. Remove the door gasket assembly, pan racks,
backplate, fan guard, and KleanShield™ and
make sure all surfaces are clean and drain
openings and the water level sensors are clean
and free of any residue or debris (See Figure 3-2).
4. Make sure that the KleanShield™ drain is clear by
pouring about a quart of water through the
KleanShield™ drain (See Figure 3-4 and 3-5). Make
sure that the water flows out the steamer drain.
