BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING LIGHTS
LOW WATER — The steamer 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 steamer 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
steamer with 2 1/2 gallons of tap water and
restart
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 steamer may appear to be cooking normally
if the valve is slightly open but efciency may
be compromised.
Check the door seal for food debris. Food
debris on the face of the door seal or under ap
may cause steamer to appear to be cooking
normally but efciency may be compromised.
Nicks or cuts in the door seal may also cause
inefcient cooking.
If the steamer has plenty of water, allow it to cool.
This normally takes a few minutes. When the
Over Temp light goes out, restart the steamer.
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 steamer is in the Cook Mode;
Push the Display Temperature button to
ensure the steamer 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.
Steamer 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
Steamer doesn’t heat
If the operator’s display doesn’t light up, See
section“ Steamer won’t come on”.
Verify the steamer 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 lled with water, wait
a minute to see if it stops. After the steamer is
relled with water it is normal for some steam
to come out the door for a brief amount of
time, usually less than one minute.
Steamer 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
