EVOLUTION ELECTRIC STEAMER

If the steamer is not reaching temperature:
• Ensure that the steamer is not in the HOLD Mode verses the COOK Mode. The default
mode for the steamer, when the PWR button is turned ON, is COOK. So, if the operator
presses the Timer Button then the Cook/Hold button; the operator has just placed the
steamer in the HOLD Mode and the steamer will not reach 212°F (COOK Mode).
• Ensure that the steam vent (located on the back of the steamer) is not blocked or
clogged. If the customer has added an extended exhaust pipe, there’s an increased
chance of vent blockage, if the exhaust pipe is not installed properly. The exhaust
pipe should be made of copper, brass or stainless steel. The exhaust pipe should have
a diameter of 3/4”; and be sloped 1/4” for every 12” of length. Also, the addition of
extra fittings that can alter the gravitational flow of the steam condensation, can cause
blockage. If vent blockage does occur, it will cause the chamber pressure switch to
stay open; which prevents the heater from turning back on; and the temperature will
continue to drop. Blocked vent can additionally cause steam to blow out of the door.
Auto-Fill Steamer: If the steamer is overfilling with water and causing the
steamer to shut-o:
• Ensure the steamer is level, front to back and side to side. An un-level steamer can cause
the water in the steam chamber to collect in the front of the steamer, causing the Over-
Fill Float Ball to raise and trip the Reed Switch prematurely (every time the steamer is
turned ON). Once the Reed Switch trips, it will cause an Over-Fill Light and Buzzer; while
turning o the steamer and preventing its usage.
• Ensure that both of the Water Sensors are clean. Build-up of scale or crud will prevent
the Water Sensors from providing the appropriate control signals to the Auto-Fill Valve,
causing it to overfill with water.
• Ensure that the water pressure being supplied to the Auto-Fill Valve should not be
greater than 60 psi. If water pressure is to high, then a larger volume of water will be
added to the steam chamber during the auto-fill cycle; causing the steamer to overfill
with water.
