Installation
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. The curved wires on the rack should be
facing to the front of the steamer. Repeat this process for the rack mounted on the other side. These racks are designed
to be removed easily for cleaning.
Testing and Inspection
Once your steamer is in place and properly leveled, plumbed and wired, test unit to make sure it is functioning properly.
Startup Procedure
1. Make sure water line is flushed prior to connecting steamer.
2. Make sure water is connected and supplied to the steamer.
3. Using a soft sponge and mild detergent, wipe out the interior of the cooking chamber to remove shipping debris prior
to use. Rinse with clean water.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners, utensils or scrubbers on the non-stick coating. Use vinegar and water to clean
reservoir. Nylon bristle brushes or soft sponges are recommended.
4. Make sure drain/overflow standpipe is fitted firmly into cooking compartment drain opening.
5. Install reservoir cover with left side drain fitted into hole at side of steamer – tip cover slightly to insert drain fitting into
side drain hole. Lip at front of reservoir cover fits over base of door opening.
6. Power On/Heat Up: Make sure the door is closed, then turn the cooking mode selector to the 1 position. The Amber HEATING light
on the upper left corner of the control panel will turn on. You may smell smoke from oils left from manufacturing – don't be alarmed,
they will burn off quickly. When the HEATING light goes out (it takes less than 25 minutes) you are ready to test the steamer.
7. Turn the cooking mode selector switch to the 2 position. The HEATING light will go on as heat is called for. You may
open the door and inspect the steaming process (note that the HEATING light goes out and the heaters are turned off
when the door is opened).
8. To shut down your steamer, turn the cooking mode selector to the OFF position (Φ).
9. Drain Steamer: Make sure that the drain line exiting from the rear of the steamer is plumbed either to a floor trough or
air gap drain. To drain, turn the drain valve handle 90 degrees.
