The heater coils, connected in a delta configuration, provide 8-kW heating power.
Each heater coil supplies one third of this power (2.67 kW). Table 5-1 lists electrical
characteristics of elements supplied for various voltages.

The 300-W dryer element mounts inside the generator near the top. The dryer
element eliminates any droplet carryover as the steam exits the generator.
Carryover of small water droplets results in improper cooking and soggy food.
Optimum steam convection cooking demands dry steam w ith no carryover.
Carryover also erodes and enlarges the nozzle holes.

Some early SteamCraft 3.1 models use 500-watt dryer elements. When needed, use
300-watt elements listed in Table 5-2 as replacements.
Fuses are located in line between the terminal block and the main transformer.
These fuses protect the steamer from damage in case of an overcurrent in the
primary of the transformer. Overcurrent conditions may occur from a short in any of
the 120 VAC components or wiring in the steamer. Moisture from leaky plumbing or
hosedown of the steamer may be the cause. Fuses used in the SteamCraft 3.1
must be rated at 2 amps.
Power from the main transformer connects to the center terminals of the
double-pole/double-throw ON/OFF switch. In the ON position, as shown i
, the switch connects the center terminals to the bottom terminals,
