PARTIAL LOADS
The Evolution is designed to cook quickly with exceptional pan-to-pan uniformity on full loads of food.
Excellent pan-to-pan uniformity can be achieved with partial loads if the pans are optimally placed in the appliance. For partial loads using 2½” deep pans, the top position in the appliance is used first followed by the second pan placed in third pan position from the top and then the third pan in the fifth pan position from the top. Placing the pans in these positions will optimize the cooking time and pan- to-pan uniformity. See Fig 4

DAILY PREPARATION FOR USE - CONNECTIONLESS MODEL
Preparing the Evolution Connection-Less model for use each day requires very little time and effort.
Simply verify that the appliance is clean, the drain valve is in the closed position and the cooking chamber is filled with approximately 2½ Gallons of tap water. Close the door and push the ON/Off key on the keypad. The water level will need to be monitored and filled as required. Do not use the low water warning lamp as the indicator to check the water level as this can damage the appliance over time.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING LIGHTS
LOW WATER — The appliance is low on water or the water sensors need to be cleaned.
HIGH WATER (CONNECTED MODELS ONLY) Not Utilized on this model
OVER TEMP — The appliance has overheated. It may have run out of water. Carefully open the door, allowing steam to escape and then check the water level in the bottom of the appliance If it is nearly empty, Clean the water level sensor probes (white buttons) located in the front left corner and the wall immediately around them being careful not to get burned (protective gloves are strongly recommended). Refill the appliance with 2 1/2 gallons of tap water and restart
If the appliance has plenty of water, allow it to cool. This normally takes a few minutes. When the Over Temp light goes out, restart the appliance.
Food Is Over Cooked
Check that the proper cook time is being used.
Food Is Under Cooked
Make sure you are using adequate time a. Extra time may be required if pans are covered or if product is left in plastic bags or similar packaging.
Make sure the door is closed. When the door opens the heat is turned off until it is shut
Make sure the appliance is in the Cook Mode; Push the Display Temperature button to ensure the appliance is at the boiling point of water taking into account your elevation above sea level. If it isn’t the appliance maybe in the Hold Mode. Variations in temperature can also be caused by frozen product just being put in or with the connected model a fresh measure of tap water was activated. These will shortly come up to temperature as long as the door is closed.
Food Is Under Cooked
Try using perforated pans as they allow steam to penetrate from all directions, maximizing heat transfer and giving you the shortest cooking times. Try distributing the product more evenly within the appliance and or pans, if possible.
Make sure the water drain valve on the front of the Evolution is tightly closed.
The appliance may appear to be cooking normally if the valve is slightly open but efficiency may be compromised.
Check the door seal for food debris. Food debris on the face of the door seal or under flap may cause appliance to appear to be cooking normally but efficiency may be compromised.
Nicks or cuts in the door seal may also cause inefficient cooking.
Appliance won’t come on
Verify that the breaker in the power pack is in the active position
Verify that the power pack is plugged in
Appliance doesn’t heat
If the operator’s display doesn’t light up, See section“ Appliance won’t come on”.
Verify the appliance door is closed, as the heat won’t turn on if the door is open.
Steam comes out the door
Verify that the door is completely closed and latched.
If the appliance was just filled with water, wait a minute to see if it stops. After the appliance is refilled with water it is normal for some steam to come out the door for a brief amount of time, usually less than one
Appliance Temperature is low
Make sure door is closed
Verify that the low water light isn’t on
Verify the appliance is in the Cook Mode not the Hold Mode
