Chapter 3 Control Panels; Dial Timer Control Panel; Cooking Operations - Dial Timer Control Panel; Manual And Timed Mode - Cleveland 24CGA10.2 Operator's Manual

CHAPTER 3
The standard dial timer control panel (illustrated in Figure 3-1) has a mechanical timer. An optional
electronic keypad timer, illustrated in Figure 3-2, an "Instant ON" Model (illustrated in Figure 3-3) and an
ON/OFF control panel (not illustrated) are also available. The Electronic and mechanical timers use a
temperature compensation circuit, which allows the timer to count down only while the cooking compartment
is at cooking temperature. The "Instant ON" model has no operating controls other than the Power ON/OFF
lever/switch, and begins heating to produce steam as soon as the ON/OFF lever/switch is set to the ON
position. The ON/OFF Control Panel, which is not illustrated, operates exactly like the timed models in
manual mode, except a selector switch is used to turn the steam to the cooking compartments ON and
OFF. NOTE: The "Instant ON" option is only available on the Model 24CGA6.2.
A. DIAL TIMER CONTROL PANEL
1. Cooking Operations – Dial Timer Control Panel
For safe, efficient operation of the steamer, the operator must, at a minimum, comply with all cautions,
warnings and instructions in the detailed operating procedures and be familiar with the control panel shown
in Figure 3-1. The operator must be familiar with all the operating features explained in this manual before
attempting to operate the steamer.
2. Manual and Timed Modes
The steamer has two operating modes: manual and timed. The TIMED/MANUAL rocker switch selects the
operating mode. Pressing the MANUAL end of the switch selects the manual operating mode. Pressing the
TIMED end of the switch selects the timed operating mode. Cooking procedures are slightly different for
each mode.
a. Manual Mode
The manual mode provides continuous steaming. The operator starts and stops steaming
operations manually. See the Operating and Cooking Procedure – Manual mode in Chapter 4, Part
B for more information. A thermostat controlled pause light located on each control indicates that
the cooking compartment has not yet reached cooking temperature.
b. Timed Mode
·
The timer provides timed control of steaming operations. The timer starts and stops steaming
operations.
·
The mechanical timer control uses a temperature compensation circuit that effects only the
timer. When operating, the timer ONLY COUNTS DOWN WHILE THE COOKING
COMPARTMENT IS AT COOKING TEMPERATURE. This provides totally automatic control of
the steaming operation and assures uniform cooking as the timer automatically compensates
for food product defrosting and/or compartment heat up time. Whenever the steamer is not at
cooking temperature, the timer pauses and the PAUSE light is illuminated.
·
To use the timer, simply set the timer to the desired time. The steamer will begin cooking as
soon as the timer is set. When the timer reaches zero the steaming functions will automatically
end and a buzzer will sound for 3 seconds to alert the operator that cooking is complete.
·
Note the mechanical timer will not function when the Timed/Manual switch is set to Manual,
although the pause light will still illuminate to indicate that the cooking compartment is not yet at
cooking temperature.
