Inspect the Cooking Compartment

Figure 3-4. Compartment Drain Screen
When the SteamCraft 3.1 is turned on, it automatically fills the steam
generator with water. Use this procedure at the beginning of a shift to prepare
the steamer for operation without starting steam generation. When ready to
start steam cooking, begin either the Timed or Manual Operating Procedure.
1. At the beginning of this procedure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
(bottom) position. The control panel circuits are not powered and the timer
display is blank.
2 Press the TIMED (top) end of the TIMED/MANUAL switch.
3. Press the ON (top) end of the ON/OFF switch to energize the SteamCraft
3.1 control panel. The red indicator on the switch lights, and water fills the
steam generator.
4. During the fill cycle, check the timer display. If the timer is not zeroed
(00:00), clear the timer by pressing and holding the CLEAR key on the
key pad control panel
5. When the generator is full, the SteamCraft 3.1 automatically stops water
flow.
Steam leaks around the door, cooking compartment flooding,
reduced cooking performance, and compartment implosion
can be caused by a blocked drain or drain screen. Inspect and
clean the drain and drain screen before each use. Never
operate the steamer without the screen in place.
At the back of the cooking compartment, the drain is covered by a moveable
drain screen. Refer to Figure 3-4. 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. A blocked or slow drain may cause:
• Hot water to collect in the compartment and spill out when the
compartment door opens.
• Pressure fluctuations in the compartment, resulting in steam leaks around
the door gasket, or compartment implosion.
• Reduced convection in the compartment, reducing cooking performance.
