6. Replace the cleaned slide racks.
7. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth only. NEVER HOSE DOWN THE STEAMER. Electrical
components inside the unit will not function correctly if wet or damp.
8. After cleaning, leave the steamer door open until the next steamer operation. This prevents
compartment odor buildup and increases gasket life.
CHAPTER 6
A. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on the steamer must be performed on a regular basis to keep the unit running properly. By
following the maintenance instructions in this chapter and in the separate Installation Manual, problems with
the steamer will be kept to a minimum. As with any preventative maintenance schedule, the frequency of
steamer maintenance may need to be increased, depending on equipment usage and water quality. If
problems do occur, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in this chapter. For more information on products and
services, contact your sales representative.

1. Maintenance Records

Make a file solely for maintenance records. Keep a written record of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly
maintenance. These records will protect warranty coverage, help personnel to know when to perform
various maintenance procedures, and assist service personnel.

2. Daily Maintenance

a. Blowdown Steam Generator
Blowdown each steam generator at least every four hours according to the steam generator
blowdown instructions in Chapter 5.
b. Clean the Steamer
Clean interior and exterior of the steamer according to the shutdown instructions in Chapter 5.

3. Weekly Maintenance

Clean Drain
Steam leaks, pressure buildup in the cooking compartment and poor
steaming performance can be caused by a blocked drain line or screen.
Blocked or slow drains are dangerous because hot water can collect in the
compartment and spill out when opening the compartment door.
This steamer is equipped with a drain screen in the back of each cooking compartment. Never operate the
steamer without the screens in place. The screen prevents large food particles from entering and blocking
the drain line. Any blockage of the drain line can cause a pressure buildup in the compartment, resulting in
steam leaks around the door gasket. Drain line blockage also adversely affects convection action of the
steam in the compartment, which is necessary for optimum performance.
a. Inspect the drain screen and drain line for blockage. Rotate the drain screen 90 degrees to
inspect the drain opening. Clean the opening and restore the screen to its operating position.
b. Clean drain with a USDA approved drain cleaner, once a week. Follow the instructions of the
manufacturer of the cleaner.
c. Flush drain with clean water.
