PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE and TROUBLESHOOTING

A. Maintenance
Maintenance on the SteamChef must be performed on a regular basis to keep the SteamChef operating
properly and efficiently. Following the maintenance instructions in this chapter and cleaning the equipment
regularly as outlined in Chapter 6 help keep problems with the SteamChef to a minimum. The frequency
of SteamChef maintenance may need to be increased depending on equipment usage and water quality.
If problems occur, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in this chapter. For more information on products
and services, contact your sales representative.
1. Maintenance Records
Make a file for maintenance and repair records only. Keep a written record of daily, weekly, monthly, and
yearly maintenance. These records will help protect warranty coverage, help schedule maintenance
procedures, help keep the SteamChef cooking properly, and assist service personnel.
2. Daily Maintenance
a. Checking and Changing the Water
When using the SteamChef check the water often to make sure it is clean, especially if cooking
with perforated pans. Although most food drippings will be caught by the KleanShield, the water
may become dirty from spilled food falling over the edge of pans when loading, cooking, and
unloading. Change the water (see below) when the water becomes cloudy or contaminated with
food particles.
•
CHANGE THE WATER IN THE STEAMCHEF AT LEAST EVERY DAY IN ORDER TO HELP
MAINTAIN FOOD QUALITY AND HELP KEEP THE STEAMCHEF SANITARY.
• Note: It may be necessary to change the water several times a shift, especially when cooking
strong flavored or starchy foods or using perforated pans.
b. To Change the Water in the Reservoir:
• Turn OFF the ON/OFF lever/switch and let the drain rinse cycle run. Turn ON to refill. Repeat
the drain and refill one more time. If the water is clean, resume cooking as usual.
• If the water is not clean after two rinses, go to the Cleaning Procedure in Chapter 6.
3. Scheduled Cleaning of the SteamChef
Clean interior and exterior of the SteamChef according to the Shutdown Instructions in Chapter 3
•
and the Cleaning Instructions in Chapter 6, least once per day or at the end of each shift.
4. Yearly Maintenance – Cleaning the Filter Washers (Dirt Filter, Strainer)
Clean the water line filter washers at least once a year as follows:
Note: When the SteamChef is first installed, check the filter washer more frequently to find out how often
the strainer must be cleaned.
Note: Do NOT use pipe dope or pipe tape on GHT fittings.
a. Turn OFF power to the SteamChef at the Main External Power Switch.
b. Close the valves in the SteamChef water supply lines.
c. Remove the water supply lines (hoses) from the GHT inlet fittings
located on the rear of the SteamChef.
d. Remove the filter washers from the GHT inlet fittings and wash them with
clean water. See Figure 5-1.
e. Check the filter washers for wear and replace them if necessary.
f. Put a filter washer into each of the water inlets and reconnect the water
supply lines (hoses) to the GHT inlet fittings on the back of the
SteamChef.
g. If treated water is used to supply water to the reservoir, make sure that it
is connected to the LOWER water inlet at the rear of the SteamChef.
h. Open water supply valve(s) and check for water leaks.
