KleanShield, and cooking compartment as required.

compartment.
d. Slide the pans of food into the slide racks inside the SteamChef. Do not place pans or
anything else on the bottom of the compartment or on the KleanShield.

heat transfer and shortest cooking time.

water is dirty, change the water. See Chapter 7.
3. After Cooking or Rethermalizing

compartment temperature is automatically maintained at operating temperature.
