Page 6: Introduction
As with any cooking process, or with any piece of commercial cooking equipment, there are potential hazards to both the operator and the piece of equipment if care is not taken. In designing the Altair II steamer, safety features have been built in to protect against many of these potential hazards, but TRAINING OF EACH OPERATOR AND CAREFUL ADHERENCE TO ALL WARNINGS ARE NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF USERS. - Page 7 ALTAIR II - Electric Boilerless Convection Steamer Introduction Dimensions • 4-pan: External dimensions are 24” wide x 26¼” high (plus 4”-6” adjustable legs) x 28¾“ deep (plus vent pipe). • 6-pan: External dimensions are 24” wide x 33¼” high (plus 4”-6” adjustable legs) x 28¾” deep (plus vent pipe).

Upon receipt of steamer immediately inspect the exterior of packaging for damage. Remove wrapping. Inspect the exterior of the Altair II for visible shipping damage. Unpacking / Removal From Pallet: To remove the steamer from the pallet, carefully cut the strapping. - Page 9 ALTAIR II - Electric Boilerless Convection Steamer Installation Water and Drain Connection Water Hookup: Steamer requires 1/2” water line. Termination is 3/4” male garden hose connection. Make sure waterline is flushed to remove grit and soldering particles prior to connecting steamer. Dirty water lines may affect solenoid operation.
- Page 10 Installation ALTAIR II - Electric Boilerless Convection Steamer Rack Installation Two pan support racks have been included with the steamer. Both racks are identical; there is no specific left or right side rack. To install, position a rack inside the cooking chamber so that the mounting bracket, with the ‘tear-drop’ shaped hole, fits over the pre-installed rack screws at the top of the cooking chamber wall.

Pan Combinations: The Altair II steamer accommodates 4” and 6” deep pans. However, for best steam cooking performance 1 1/4” or 2 1/2” deep pans work best. Other combinations of these pan sizes will fit in your steamer. - Page 12 ALTAIR II - Electric Boilerless Convection Steamer PERATION Cooking: When ready to cook turn the cooking mode selector dial to the desired setting. NOTICE If starchy food products (potatoes, pasta) cause water to get frothy add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the water to control foaming.
- Page 13 ALTAIR II - Electric Boilerless Convection Steamer PERATION Tips On Cooking Frozen Product • Preheat cooking compartment. • Break up frozen vegetables or product, if possible. • If product is an ice block, set it in the pan on its narrowest side. This allows the steam to contact a greater surface area.
- Page 14 ALTAIR II - Electric Boilerless Convection Steamer PERATION Other Helpful Hints (continued) • When possible, cook in two shallow pans instead of one deeper pan – it cooks faster and you avoid bruising the product. • If using 1/2 size or smaller pans on one level, with different products, load the faster cooking items last, this will make unloading easier.
