C24GA SERIES GAS CONVECTION STEAMERS

STARTUP

The steamer and its parts are
hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or
servicing the steamer.
The cooking compartment
contains live steam. Stay clear while
opening door.
Once the steamer is installed and all mechanical
connections have been made, thoroughly test
the steamer before operation.
1. Check that proper water, drain, electrical
and gas connections have been made.
2. Turn on manual gas valve.
3. Press power switch to the on position. After
approximately 20 minutes the ready light
should come on, indicating that generator
has reached operating pressure.
4. With the door closed the ready light comes
on. Set the timer to the 5-minute position.
Open the door and observe that no steam
is entering the compartment and the ready
and cooking lights are off.
5. Close the compartment door. The cooking
light should now be lit and steam should be
heard entering the compartment.
6. Check the drain line to be sure that water
from the cold water condenser is flowing
through the drain line.
7. Open the compartment door and observe
that steam supply to the compartment stops,
and that the ready light and cooking light
turn off.
8. Close the compartment door and let the
cooking cycle finish. When the timer returns
to the 0 position, a buzzer will sound,
signaling the end of the cooking cycle and the
cooking light goes off. To silence the buzzer,
turn the dial timer to the OFF position.
9. Complete the above steps for each cooking
compartment.
10. To shutdown the steamer, press the power
switch to the off position and close the manual
gas shutoff valve. Leave the compartment
doors slightly open to allow the inside to
dry out.
