OPERATION

A. Main External Power Switch
Usually, the SteamChef's Main External Power Switch
•
is left ON during operating hours. If the Main External
Power Switch is OFF, turn it ON as follows:
1. Turn the ON/OFF lever/switch to the OFF position.
2. The control panel settings are not important in this
procedure. The control panel circuits are not powered
while the ON/OFF lever/switch is OFF.
3. Refer to Figure 3-1 and turn on electric power to the
SteamChef at the Main External Power Switch.
B. Door Interlock Switch
The cooking compartment of the SteamChef is equipped with an automatic door interlock switch, which
turns OFF the burner, fan, and stops the Timer when the door to a cooking compartment is opened.
Even though the burner shuts off as soon as a door is opened, it may take up to a minute for production of
steam to end and residual steam in the system to clear from the cooking compartment.
To help avoid injury always wait until the residual steam clears and the convection fan stops before reaching
into the cooking compartment, and always wear dry heatproof gloves when reaching into the cooking
compartment. Wet or damp gloves conduct heat and can cause burns when touching hot items.
Failure to do so can cause burns, scalds, and other injuries.
C. To Inspect the Cooking Compartment
1. Before turning ON the power switch/lever to the SteamChef, the inside of the SteamChef must be
clean. See Chapter 6.
2. Inspect the door gasket assembly, water level sensors, KleanShield, drain screen, fan guard, air
diverter, and slide racks for proper installation and cleanliness. See Figure 3-2.
3. Make sure that the KleanShield drain is clear. If the drain is blocked or slow, do NOT start the
SteamChef until it has been cleaned. See Chapters 6 and 7 for Cleaning and Troubleshooting
procedures. To check the drain:
a. Pour about a quart of water through the KleanShield drain.
b. Check that the water flows out the drain and drainpipe.
