ROCKER SWITCH (POWER ON/OFF)

When the Rocker Switch is in the ON position, the control board is activated and the green light on the front panel lights up. A thermostat senses generator temperature. If the generator temperature is below 350° F (176° C), power is applied to the generator until setpoint is reached. The generator is constantly monitored and power is regulated to maintain temperature setpoint of 380° F (193° C).

YELLOW AND GREEN LIGHTS

The green light comes on when the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) is turned on. The green light is not lit during the steaming cycle.

The yellow light comes on during the steaming cycle. When the steaming cycle is complete, the yellow light turns off, and an audio alarm sounds for 3 seconds.

Figure 3. Operating Controls

CONTROL KNOB

The control knob setting determines the length of the steaming cycle. Each number on the panel behind the knob represents a ten second interval (1=10 sec; 2=20 sec; 3=30 sec; etc.) up to 130 seconds.

Example: During the steaming cycle, with the control knob set to 3, the solenoid valve opens once every 10 seconds, applying 3 total shots of water that is converted immediately into steam for the product.

NOTE: Each shot of steam is approximately 3/4 oz. (25 milliliters) of water.

OPERATE SWITCH

When the operate button is pressed and released, Line Voltage is supplied to the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve opens, and water sprays onto the heated steam generator. The water flashes immediately into live steam and is forced up through the Black Manifold Plate orifices.

LOCK LEVER

When in the full forward (towards operator) position, the lock lever secures the Black Manifold Plate onto the Steam Generator. Moving the lock lever to the full rearward position unlocks the Black Manifold Plate, allowing it to be removed for cleaning or servicing.

Figure 4. Lock Lever

HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT

If the generator should overheat for any reason, the Hi-Limit thermostat opens (trips) and cuts off power to the generator. To reset this Hi-Limit, turn the unit off, unplug the power cord, disconnect the rear water line quick disconnect insert, and allow the unit to cool for 45 minutes. Place unit upside down and remove the four (4) Control Panel screws (Figure 4). Carefully lift the Control Panel upward and lay it on its side. Fully press the red Hi-Limit Reset Button.

Steaming Tips

• Pre-cooked pasta is easily reconstituted, and gives you a hot product without the wetness of the normal “dip” method.

• Experiment with your products and different steam ing times–a little more or less steam could change the appearance/flavor.

• If you serve melted cheese on sandwiches, steam is the perfect way to melt cheese.

• A steamed bun (which takes about 10-15 seconds) says “Hot Sandwich” to your customer.

• Vegetables, rice and bread products can be recon stituted by steaming before serving which reduces waste.

• Dinner rolls, muffins, even tortillas can be heated completely and held without drying out the product.

• Use a low plate or pan when steaming to allow full steam penetration and shorter cooking times.

• Condensation inside the steamer is normal, but excess moisture indicates too much water is being used.

• Heat meat and bread products apart from each other, then combine in a sandwich. This will keep the meat juices from soaking the bread.

• Finish off a special meal with a steamed hand towel–hot without excess moisture.

8. At the end of the serving day or shift, turn off the Rocker Switch and allow the unit to cool before performing the procedures under “Daily

MAINTENANCE

WARNING Turn the unit off, disconnect the power source and allow the unit to cool down before performing any service or maintenance on the unit.

CAUTION Chlories or phosphates in cleasnsing agents such as bleach, sanitizers, degreasers, or detergents could cause permanent damage to the sainless steel equipmenet. The damage is ususally in the form of discoloration, dulling of metal surface finish, pits, voids, holes, or cracks. This damage is permanent and is not covered by warranty. The following tips are recommended for maintenance of your stainless steel equipment:

• Always use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning, rinse with clear water, and wipe dry. When required, always rub in the direction of the metal polish lines.

• Routine cleaning should be done daily using soap, ammonia detergent, and water.

• Stains and sopts should be sponged using a vinegar solution.

• Finger marks and smears should be removed using soap and water.

• Hard water spots should be sponged using a vinegar solution.

Maintenance Schedule

CAUTION Failure to regularly and/or properly clean this equipment may damage it or cause the user bodily injury

DAILY CLEANING

1. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) to OFF. Unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool down before proceeding.

2. Check the rear water quick disconnect fitting and all hose clamp connections for leakage. If leak age is apparent, tighten all clamps or replace part(s) if necessary.

3. Remove the basket(s), top cover housing assem bly, and the drip tray, wash them in hot soapy water, rinse and allow to air dry.

4. Remove the Black Manifold Plate by slightly lifting and sliding the Locking Lever (on the right side of the unit) towards the rear, carefully remove the plate and remove the large black O-ring from the plate. Remove the diffuser plate, remove the spray tube by carefully lifting the loose end and gently twisting and pulling it out of the steam generator hole. Take a suitable 1/16” punching

tool (such as a large paperclip) and fully insert it through all 12 orifices in the black manifold as well as through the six orifices in the spray tube. This will assure that the orifices are

not obstructed with debris. Wash all items in hot soapy water, rinse, and allow them to air dry.

NOTE: Frequency of cleaning is determined by water conditions, usage and water filter systems.

CAUTION Do not use a sanitizing solution or abrasive materials. The use of these may cause damage to the stainless steel finish.

CAUTION If a chemical cleaner is used, be sure it is safe to use on cast aluminum. Observe all precautions and warnings on product label.

MAINTENANCE (continued)

VARIETY STEAMER

MONTHLY CLEANING

Your steamer utilizes an open steam generator. Water sprayed onto the generator surface flashes into steam immediately, but the minerals in the water do not steam; they stay on the generator surface. A small

amount of calcium/mineral deposits are needed for proper operation, but a build-up of excessive calcium/

mineral deposits causes poor steaming efficiency, excessive moisture (wet steam), and will eventually retard the steaming action completely.

1. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On\Off) to OFF. Unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool down before proceeding.

2. Perform the steps under Daily Cleaning, but DO NOT reassemble the unit.

3. With the unit cool, use a NON-ABRASIVE brass wire brush and/or scraper to loosen and remove the excessive calcium/mineral deposits from the generator surface (Figure 5). Wipe the generator with a clean, damp cloth and reassemble the unit.

NOTE: If the deposits are still excessive and/or dif ficult to remove, see Steps 4 through 10.

4. Pour delimer solution (not supplied) onto the generator surface. Be sure to follow the delimer manufacturer’s instructions for proper mixture and use.

CAUTION If a chemical cleaner/delimer is used, be sure it is safe to use on cast aluminum. Observe all precautions and warnings on the product label.

5. Using a sponge or dry towel, remove the delimer solution from the generator surface, then rinse with clear water.

NOTE: To ensure proper steaming characteristics, some calcium/mineral deposits must be present on the generator surface. If during cleaning, the surface becomes free of calcium/mineral deposits, add plain tap water to the surface and allow it to boil off. If necessary, repeat this several times in order to formulate a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits.

NOTE: In soft water areas, it may be necessary to add a small amount of lime to the generator surface to “season” it. This will ensure proper steaming characteristics by formulating a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits on the generator surface. Seasoning mixture consists of 3/4 ounce (25ml/ 25cc) of baking soda, 3/4 ounce (25 ml/25cc) of lime, and 1 quart (950ml/950cc) of water. Stir mix ture and pour 1/4” deep onto hot generator surface. After mixture is converted to seam, the remaining loose powder can be removed.

6. Plug the power cord into the appropriate outlet.

7. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) to ON and allow the unit to warm up for 30 minutes.

8. Set the Control Knob to “3” and push the Operate Button to run a 30 second cycle of steam. This

will purge any remaining delimer residue from the generator surface.

9. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) to OFF.

10. Reinstall all parts and accessories.
