CONTROLS
Operator controls are on the unit front just right of the compartment door. From top-to-
bottom they include:
1. Steamer READY indicator light – Indicates the steam generator reservoir is at
temperature and the cavity is hot enough to begin steaming.
2. 60 minute Timer Control with continuous ON position – See Timer Functions
below.
3. STEAM LEVEL 3-way Toggle Switch – Providing the following options:
• HI PERFORMANCE – For maximum power and fastest cook times (a la
carte cooking);
• ENERGY SAVER – For batch production, with slower cook times but
energy savings; or
• STANDBY – for Ready Mode, with even more energy savings.
4. POWER - ON/OFF Switch
5. Water Reservoir DRAIN VALVE Handle –
• OPEN when at 9:00 o’clock position – Allows water to drain from reser-
voir.
• CLOSED when at 6:00 o’clock position – Allows water to fill reservoir
when Power switch is ON and Timer is set or in (manual) ON position.
The Timer can be used in three ways:
1. In the OFF position, the steamer stays ready for start-up.
2. When a cook time is set, the unit steams until the timer runs down to DONE. At
that time, steaming stops and a beeper sounds until the user turns the knob to
another position.
3. With the timer turned to the ON position, the unit steams continuously.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Make sure Water Reservoir Drain Handle is in “CLOSE” position.
2. Press the ON/OFF switch located on the control panel to ON. The steam gener-
ating reservoir will fill.
3. Rotate timer knob to the ON position.
4. Choose STEAM LEVEL: HIGH PERFORMANCE or ENERGY SAVER. In approximate-
ly 10-15 minutes the READY light will come on.
5. Load food into pans in uniform layers. Pans should be filled to about the same
levels and should be level on top. This will ensure pan-to-pan cooking consis-
tency.
6. Open the door and slide the pans onto the supports. TIP: If you will only be
steaming one pan, put it in the middle position.
