approximately 7 minutes. When the generator is ready
to create steam, the green READY light will come on.

CONDENSATE WARNING:
Normal steam cooking conditions will create
some condensate due to temperature differences
between the steam and the objects/surfaces it
contacts. When an excessive volume of
condensate appears in the cooking compartment,
the steam generator water level control should be
checked for possible malfunction and the need for
maintenance. Continued use of the equipment,
without maintenance, will create a potential for
scalding.
