Compartment Temperature Switch

A snap action thermostatic switch attaches to the underside of the
steamer compartment near the front left corner of the steam generator.
The switch closes when the compartment temperature rises above 180-
200 F and controls tile timing circuit during TIMED operation. If frozen
food, for example, causes the compartment temperature to drop below
the switch set point, the switch prevents the timer from starting its
countdown until the compartment temperature rises and the switch
closes. Also, if the door opens during a TIMED cycle and the
compartment cools, the switch opens and interrupts the tuning circuit
countdown until the compartment reheats. Thus, the action of the
compartment temperature switch and the timing circuit adjust cooking
duration to compensate for factors that affect cooking time: product
temperature (fresh or frozen), compartment loading, and opening of the
compartment door during a cooking cycle.
