6. Open door slightly at first letting most of the steam out of the compartment and then fully open
the door.
7. Unload by sliding pans of food from pan supports, taking care to avoid hitting compartment
opening.

Shut-Down Procedure

No shut-down procedure is required for the cooker except to check that both timer dials (1) are in the
OFF position and that both compartment doors are open. When all cooking has been completed for the
day, the steam source must be shut off. (For steam boilers, see instruction plate.)
When the unit is not in use, leave the cooking compartment door slightly ajar to prolong the life of the
door gasket.

Cleaning

After each period of daily operation (more frequently as required to maintain cleanliness), the cooker
should be thoroughly cleaned by completing the following steps:
1. Remove left- and right-side pan supports, baffles, and drain screens by lifting up and off
mounting studs. Wash with a mild detergent. Rinse and set aside for reassembly.
2. Wash cooking compartment interior using a mild detergent and water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. Replace pan supports, baffles, and drain screens in compartment and leave door open.

DRAINAGE

Cooking Compartment Drainage

The bottom of the cooking compartment is angled slightly toward the rear of the unit. This assures that
any condensate build-up or spills will be directed toward the drain hole, which is located at the rear
bottom center of the cooking compartment. Any liquid exiting the cooking compartment runs down the
cooking compartment drain tube and into the drain line.

Drip/Spill Trough Drainage

The ST-24 Pressureless Steam Cooker has a drip/ spill trough below the cooking compartment door. It
will catch any condensate gathering on the front of the unit when the door is opened.
