OPERATION

n Steamer cavity controls are mounted on the front panel for easy

access with separate ON-OFF/60 minute timer control with con­stant steam setting, for each steamer cavity.

n Kettle steam control valve and HOT/COLD water faucet handles

are front mounted with boiler controls.

n Unit will shut off if water level is low or unit builds too much

pressure

n When power switch is turned “off”, the boiler automatically

drains to reduce sediment build-up, after the water has cooled
to 170°F.

n Each steamer cavity shall have a powerful side mounted blower,

which increases steam velocity and provides efficient steam dis­tribution throughout cavity and between loaded pans.

n Electric pressure boiler provides atmospheric steam to each chamber

at a temperature of approximately 212ºF and steam to kettle at approxi­mately 12 PSI. The 24KW model delivers 2.2 boiler horsepower.
