Operating And Cooking Procedure - Manual Mode - Cleveland Gemini 24CGA6.2S Operation Installation Maintenance Manual

•
For best cooking results, use shallow, 2-1/2-inch-deep, perforated pans without covers. These give
the best heat transfer and shortest cooking time.
4. Close the steamer door.
5. Check the control settings. At this point the settings should be:
•
The ON/OFF lever/switch is in the ON position.
•
The TIMED/MANUAL switch is in the TIMED position.
6. Set the required cooking time. For KEYPAD MODELS press the START/STOP key to start the cooking
cycle. Shortly after the door is closed, steam fills the cooking compartment.
7. When the timer reaches zero, a buzzer will sound, the steam generator stops steaming, and steam flow
to the cooking compartment gradually stops. The cooking cycle is complete.
•
For DIAL timers the buzzer will stop after 3 seconds.
•
For KEYPAD timers, press the START/STOP key to silence the alarm.
SEVERE BURNS may result from exposure to steam.
Do not open the steamer door before steam flow stops. Stand back
when opening the compartment door. Open the door slightly to allow
steam to vent before looking or reaching into cooking compartment.
Do not reach into cooking compartment until the steam has cleared.
Do not reach into steamer or handle hot items without wearing
heatproof gloves. Wet or damp gloves conduct heat and may cause
burns when touching hot items.
8. Carefully open cooking compartment door and remove the pans from slide racks.
•
If the steamer will be used again in a few minutes shut the door to maintain the cooking
compartment temperature.
•
If another use is not planned for more than half an hour, leave the cooking compartment door
slightly open to reduce internal pressure while the steam condenses and the compartment cools.
•
If the steamer is not being used again during this shift, perform the Power OFF and Shut Down and
Cleaning Procedures, found in Chapter 5.
A. OPERATING AND COOKING PROCEDURE – MANUAL MODE
Manual mode allows the operator to personally control the cooking functions. The operator starts and stops
the steaming operations and sets the cooking time including time for steam generator, compartment and
food heat-up time. Use the manual-cooking mode for:
•
A continuous supply of steam (24CGA6.2S & 24CGA10.2 only).
•
Cooking times longer than the timer can measure. See Part 2, "Longer Cooking Times in Manual
Mode" below, for more information on extended cooking with a Gemini Steamer.
•
Maintaining the compartment temperature between cooking batches.
1. Using the Timer in Manual Mode
The KEYPAD timer may be used when the steamer is operating in the manual mode, but it will not start
or stop the steaming cycle.
2. Manual Cooking Procedure
Follow this procedure when cooking with the steamer in manual mode.
