Manual and Timed Modes
Main Power Switch
Figure 3-8. Main Power Switch
Power ON (Automatic Fill)
The SteamCraft 3.1 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.
• Manual Mode provides continuous steaming. The operator starts and stops
steaming operations manually.
• Timed Mode provides timed control of steaming operations. The timer starts and
stops steaming operations.
Cooking procedures are slightly different for each mode. The diagram in Figure 3-7
illustrates which procedures are common to both modes and which are specific to
each mode.
Usually the SteamCraft 3.1 main power switch is left ON. If the main power switch
was left in the OFF position, turn it ON as follows.
1. Check that the water supply valves are open.
2. If the control panel power is on, turn it off by pressing the OFF (bottom) end of
the ON/OFF switch.
3. The TIMED/MANUAL switch and timer settings are not important in this
procedure. The control panel circuits are not powered while the ON/OFF switch
is set to OFF.
4. Refer to the main power switch in Figure 3-8, and turn on electric power to the
SteamCraft 3.1. The steamer will immediately start a blowdown cycle. The
blowdown cycle lasts 3 minutes.
NOTE: If it is necessary to stop the blowdown cycle before it is finished, turn
the ON/OFF switch to ON. (Refer to Power ON and Preheat.)
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. Check the control panel settings. If necessary, refer to the control panel summary
on page 44, and change the settings so:
• The ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (bottom) position.
• The TIMED/MANUAL switch is in the TIMED (top) position.
• The Timer dial points to 0.
2. If the Timer is not zeroed (0), turn the dial counterclockwise until it points to 0.
