Electric Counter Pan Steamers
Door Gasket
Check gasket for cuts and replace if necessary.
Door Gasket Replacement
The cooking compartment door gaskets are made of a silicone-type rubber material that is very durable but subject to
wear during normal operation. Should the gasket leak replace it.
1. Open the cooking compartment door.
2. Remove the six or eight screws from the gasket plate in the door panel assembly.
3. Remove the gasket plate and the door gasket from door panel.
4. Install the new door gasket to the door panel. Replace the gasket plate and six or eight screws.
5. Gasket replacement is now complete.
Door may be difficult to close until gasket has compressed to conform to opening. Leaving door closed overnight will
compress gasket.
Exterior Panel Removal
To prevent hazard in servicing the cooker, be certain that the electrical disconnect circuit breaker for the steamer
is OFF before removing side panels.
Access to all internal plumbing and electrical assemblies is from the right side. The right-sidepanel is removed by
removing the bottom screws from panel.
Stainless Steel
To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water (with or without
detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any corrosive cleaner.
To remove grease and food splatters or condensed vapours that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a damp
cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as
gently as possible in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A
CIRCULAR MOTION.
Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface
with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any
particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL
SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are marred
collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of corrosive attack.
Refinishing may then be required.
TO REMOVE HEAT TINT
Darkened areas sometimes appear on the stainless steel surface where the area has been subjected to excessive heat.
These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat
tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous
scouring in the direction of the polish lines using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in
combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying or by reducing heat to equipment
during slack periods.
