SECTION 2: The standard steamer control panel, illustrated in Figure 2-1 has a mechanical timer. An optional electronic keypad timer illustrated in Figure 2-2 of SECTION 2, Part B and an ON/OFF control panel are also available. The Electronic timer uses a temperature compensation circuit, which allows the timer to count down only while the cooking compartment is at cooking temperature.
B. KEYPAD TIMER CONTROL PANEL (1) Cooking Operations – Keypad 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 2-2.

c) Shutting Off Alarm/When Timer is Done When the timer counts down to zero, the alarm sounds continuously, the generator stops steaming, and steam flow to the cooking compartment gradually stops. Press the START/STOP key to silence the alarm. The cooking time display returns to the last time set.
SECTION 3: GENERAL OPERATION A. EXTERNAL MAIN POWER SWITCH (Junction Box) Usually the kitchen’s external main power switch is left ON. If the external main power switch was left in the OFF position, turn it ON as follows. (1) Check that the water supply valves to the steamer are open. (2) Turn the steamers ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position.
D. INSPECTING THE COOKING COMPARTMENT At the back of the cooking compartment, a drain screen covers the drain. Refer to Figure 3-3. The screen prevents large food particles from entering and blocking the drain line. Any blockage of the drain line or screen can reduce drainage from the cooking compartment resulting in reduced cooking performance, equipment damage, and a hazard to the operator.
SECTION 4: COOKING WITH THE STEAMER 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.
(8) Carefully open the cooking compartment door, and remove the pans from the slide racks. • If the steamer will be used again in a few minutes shut the door to maintain the cooking compartment temperature. • If another use is not planned for more than half an hour, leave the cooking compartment door slightly open to reduce internal pressure while the steam condenses and the compartment cools.
6. To stop manual mode steaming, press the TIMED (top) end of the TIMED/MANUAL rocker switch. The generator stops steaming, and steam flow to the cooking compartment gradually stops. SEVERE BURNS may result from exposure to steam. Do not open the steamer door before steam flow stops. Stand back when opening the compartment door.
(3) Blowdown Procedure When the steamer is turned off, its blowdown cycle starts and runs automatically. The complete cycle takes approximately 3 minutes. 1. Turn the ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position to turn off the steamer. The red indicator light in the ON/OFF switch turns off.

(4) Remove any spilled food from inside compartment and clear any residue from the drain screen. Clean the interior of the compartment thoroughly. Use a soft bristle brush to remove stubborn food particles. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or steel wool. Rinse inside of steamer compartment with clean water.
SECTION 6: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 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 Section and in the separate Installation Manual, problems with the steamer will be kept to a minimum.

SECTION 7: STEAM COOKING GUIDELINES A. Introduction: Steam Cooking is an excellent way to prepare countless foods. With large and small quantities you will find cooking to be efficient, economical, fast and convenient. Food can never burn-pans will never boil over-there is no heavy lifting of water in pots-no scouring of containers-no waiting for boiling to start.
B. SIZING UP PAN CAPACITY: (1) Serving Sizes – How Much? How Many? How to estimate portion size and number of servings from a standard steam table pan. • A 12” x 20” x 2½” (65mm-1/1GN) solid pan will hold 1-7/8 gallons or 240 fluid ounces (30 liters or 7200ml).
C. CONVECTION STEAMER – SUGGESTED TIMER SETTING GUIDELINES ELECTRONIC CONTROLS WITH THE COMPENSATING THERMOSTAT Timer settings are approximate due to the differences in food quality, age, shape and the degree of doneness desired. It is not necessary to add water. Perforated pans are recommended. Starred items (*) must be cooked in solid pans.
Page 28
(continued from previous page) FRUIT: Fresh Apple, cored Grapefruit Orange Apricot Pineapple, whole Dried: add water to re-hydrate Apple Apricot Peach Pear Prune MEATS & POULTRY: Cook meats and poultry in nested pans, as juices can be used for gravy, sauces, beef stock and soups. The portion size, thickness, grades, should be considered when selecting a timer setting for doneness.
D. STEAMING TIPS - LOBSTER - CRAB - SHRIMP (1) Live Lobster and Crabs a. Live lobsters and crabs are steamed according to the time on the Suggested Timer Setting Guide. b. Steam them on a perforated pan with a catch pan (a solid pan) on a lower pan slide. Discard the juices and non-edible matter collected during steaming.
