OPERATING CONTROLS AND
The controls and indicators required to operate the Pressureless Steam Cooker are listed in table on
page 9, together with a short functional description of each. Figure 2 on page 9 shows the physical
location of each control and indicator.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
The ST-24 Pressureless Steam Cooker defrosts frozen foods and cooks fresh and defrosted foods. Each
cooking compartment permits selection of continuous (constant steam) cooking or timed (0–60
minutes) cooking. Instructions for operation are included in this section. Consult Test Kitchen Bulletin for
detailed cooking information.
Steam Source Operation
The Pressureless Cooker is supplied mounted on a cabinet containing either a steam boiler or controls
for direct-connected steam. Manual controls are accessed by opening the cabinet door. The start-up
procedure for the steam source is completed once before each daily operating period of the cooker. (For
steam boilers, see instruction plate.)
Preheating
Before each initial operation of the cooker, and at any other time when the cooking compartment is
cold, a 1-minute preheating period is required. To preheat the cooker, put steam source into operation
and proceed as follows:
1. Close cooking compartment door.
2. Set 60-Minute Timer Dial (1) to "1-minute" setting.
NOTE: Total elapsed preheating time equals the timer setting plus a short delay period needed to active
a thermostatic switch included in the controls.
3. Turn off buzzer, which sounds to indicate cooking is complete, by setting the Timer Dial (1) to
OFF position.
Cooking
Before loading the cooker, be sure compartment is hot. Refer to Preheating Section for instructions.
1. Slide pans of food into cooking compartment pan supports.
2. Close cooking compartment door.
3. Set timer cooking time:
a. CONSTANT STEAM—for continuous cooking
b. 60-MINUTE TIMER—for timed cooking.
4. Set appropriate timer to the required cooking time (Refer to Facts on Parade on page 10).
5. Turn off buzzer, which sounds to indicate cooking is complete, by setting timer dial (1) to the
OFF position.
