Chapter 4 Cooking With The Steamer; Operating And Cooking Procedure - Timed Mode - Cleveland 24CGA10.2 Operator's Manual

·
If the steamer is not going to be used for prolonged periods, open the door and leave it ajar.
This will interrupt the production of steam without draining the steam generator.
·
Do not turn off the main power to the generator, unless it is time for the scheduled blowdown
of the steamer (See Section 5, Part A STEAM GENERATOR BLOWDOWN). This will cause
delays in cooking, as the boiler will have to refill with water and reheat to the steaming
temperature before actual cooking can start again.
CHAPTER 4
When checking inside the steamer always open the door slowly
and stand to the side and back away from the steamer. Water
leaking from the door gasket can be a sign of a blocked drain. If
the drain is blocked, hot water can accumulate inside the
compartment and spill out when the door is opened.
A. OPERATING AND COOKING PROCEDURE – TIMED MODE
Even though the production of steam ends as soon as a
door is opened, it may take up to a minute for residual
steam in the system to clear from the steam lines and the
cooking compartment. To avoid possible injury always wait
until this residual steam has cleared before reaching into the
cooking compartment.
In timed mode, the timer starts and stops the steaming operation.
1. Inspect and clean the drain and cooking compartment as required. Refer to INSPECT THE COOKING
COMPARTMENT IN Chapter 2, Part E.
2. If necessary, preheat the cooking compartment. Refer to PREHEATING THE STEAMER, in Chapter 2,
Part F.
3. Slide the pans of food into the slide racks inside the steamer. Do not place pans or anything else on the
bottom of the compartment.
·
For best cooking results, use shallow, 2-1/2 inch deep, perforated pans without covers. These give
the best heat transfer and shortest cooking time.
4. Close the steamer door.
5. Check the control settings. At this point the settings should be:
·
The ON/OFF lever/switch is in the ON position.
COOKING WITH THE STEAMER
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 clogged drain.
