SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

To use a SteamCraft Convection Steamer safely and effectively, each operator must read and
understand this Manual completely before starting operation. The owners and operators of the steamer
should retain this Manual in an easily accessible location for future reference and training.

The owner(s) and operator(s) of the steamer must be aware that steam can cause serious injuries and
equipment damage. Pay particular attention to the Operational Safety section of this chapter, and the
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS displayed in this manual and on the equipment.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START OR OPERATE a SteamCraft
steamer during a power outage.

DEATH, INJURY, AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE could result from the
improper installation of a steamer.

Before starting a recently installed or repaired steamer, be sure it has
been installed by qualified personnel according to the instructions
found in the separate Installation and Maintenance Manual.

A. OPERATIONAL SAFETY

The safe and effective operation of any steamer depends upon proper installation, use, maintenance,
and repair. Operational safety must encompass all of these factors. This Operational Safety section
outlines the minimum safety policies that should be considered when using one or more SteamCraft
steamers. It is assumed that any operational safety program must be tailored to the specific site and use
of the equipment.

Burn hazards are present in any professional food service operation. When using the steamer, observe
the following precautions.

•

Remember at all times that steam can cause severe burns.

•

When checking inside the steamer always open the door slowly and stand to the side and
back away from the steamer. Water leaking from the door gasket can be a sign of a blocked
drain. If the drain is blocked, hot water can accumulate inside the compartment and spill out
when the door is opened.

•

Make sure the compartment is turned OFF. Open the door slightly to allow steam to vent before
looking or reaching into cooking compartment.

•

Do not reach into the cooking compartment until the steam has cleared.

•

Do not reach into steamer or handle hot items without wearing heatproof gloves. Wet or damp
gloves conduct heat, and may cause burns when touching hot items.

•

Do not use anything but your hands to operate the ON/OFF controls.

•

Do not block the vents on the side, rear or underside of the unit or otherwise obstruct the flow
of ventilation air to the steamer. Do not store articles on top of the unit.

The steamer requires a minimum of service if properly operated and maintained by trained personnel.
The following steps will help keep the steamer in a safe, efficient operating condition.

(1) Do not store or leave combustible materials near the steamer. Keep the area around and under

the steamer free of combustible materials.

(2) Non slip draining mats should be on the floor in front of the steamer to prevent slipping

accidents from spilled water.

1

(3) Train all personnel who will use the steamer. Make sure personnel know how to operate the

steamer, clean the interior and exterior, drain the unit, and descale the steam generator.

(4) Operating personnel must be able to recognize problems, and report them so that corrective

actions can be taken by trained personnel as outlined in the troubleshooting charts found in the
back of this manual and in the separate Installation and Maintenance Manual.

(5) Conduct regular steamer inspections. Check for water line leaks, door seal and drain leaks,

clogged drain, steam generator scale buildup, and steamer control malfunctions.

(6) Follow the instructions for steamer maintenance found in this manual and the additional literature

provided with the steamer.

(7) Before each use of the steamer, inspect the drain and screen for blockage. Inspect the door

gasket assembly, and slide racks for proper installation and cleanliness.

(8) Allow only Cleveland Range authorized service representatives to service the steamer.

(9) Use only factory authorized repair parts.

(10) Maintain written records of steamer maintenance and service. Each record should include at

least:

•

The date of the service or maintenance.

•

A description of the service, maintenance or repair performed. Include part numbers if
applicable.

•

Copies of purchase order(s) and invoice(s) for repair parts and service.

•

The name and signature of the person performing the maintenance or service.

SECTION 2: COMPARTMENT CONTROL PANELS

The standard steamer control panel, illustrated in Figure 2-1 has a mechanical timer. An optional
electronic keypad timer illustrated in Figure 2-2 of SECTION 2, Part B and an ON/OFF control panel are
also available. The Electronic timer uses a temperature compensation circuit, which allows the timer to
count down only while the cooking compartment is at cooking temperature. The ON/OFF Control Panel,
which is not illustrated, operates exactly like the manual operation of the timed models except a selector
switch is used to turn the steam to the cooking compartments ON and OFF.

A. DIAL TIMER CONTROL PANEL

(1) Cooking Operations – Dial Timer Control Panel

For safe, efficient operation of the steamer, the operator must, at a minimum, comply with all cautions,
warnings and instructions in the detailed operating procedures and be familiar with the control panel
shown in Figure 2-1. The operator must be familiar with all the operating features explained in this
manual before attempting to operate the steamer.

(2) Manual and Timed Modes

The steamer has two operating modes: manual and timed. The TIMED/MANUAL rocker switch selects
the operating mode. Pressing the MANUAL end of the switch selects the manual-operating mode.
Pressing the TIMED end of the switch selects the timed operating mode. Cooking procedures are slightly
different for each mode.

a. Manual Mode

The manual mode provides continuous steaming. The operator starts and stops steaming
operations manually. See the Operating and Cooking Procedure – Manual mode in Section 4,
Part B for more information.

b. Timed Mode

•

The timer provides timed control of steaming, starts and stops cooking operations.

•

To use the timer, simply set the timer to the desired time. The steamer will begin steaming
operations as soon as the timer is set. When the timer reaches zero the steaming functions
will automatically end and a buzzer will sound for 3 seconds to alert the operator that the
cooking cycle is complete.

1. DIAL TIMER

This dial timer sets the operating time from 0 to 60 minutes. Turn
the dial clockwise until it points to the required number of minutes.
When it reaches 0, a buzzer sounds for 3 seconds.

B. KEYPAD TIMER CONTROL PANEL

(1) Cooking Operations – Keypad Control Panel

For safe, efficient operation of the steamer, the operator must, at a minimum, comply with all

cautions, warnings and instructions in the detailed operating procedures and be familiar with the

control panel shown in Figure 2-2. The operator must be familiar with all the operating features

explained in this manual before attempting to operate the steamer.

(2) Manual and Timed Modes

The steamer has two operating modes: manual and timed. The TIMED/MANUAL rocker switch

selects the operating mode. Pressing the MANUAL end of the switch selects the manual-operating

mode. Pressing the TIMED end of the switch selects the timed (automatic) operating mode.

a. Manual Mode

The manual mode provides continuous steaming. The operator starts and stops steaming
operations manually. See the Operating and Cooking Procedure – Manual Mode in Section 4,
Part B for more information.

b. Timed Mode and Use of the Timer

1. Timer Use and Temperature Compensation

•

The keypad timer control starts and stops steaming operation, and monitors cooking
time and compartment temperature for accurate, efficient, uniform steam cooking.

•

The keypad control uses a temperature compensation circuit that effects only the timer.
When operating, the timer ONLY COUNTS DOWN WHILE THE COOKING
COMPARTMENT IS AT COOKING TEMPERATURE. This provides totally automatic
control of the steaming operation and assures uniform cooking as the timer
automatically compensates for food product defrosting and/or compartments heat up
time. Whenever the steamer is not at cooking temperature 193°F, the timer pauses and
the display shows “PAUS”, once temperature is reached a digital display of the
remaining time is displayed. When the timer counts down to zero a buzzer will sound, to
indicate that cooking is complete and the steam generator will shut down.

•

The timer will operate similarly when the steamer is being operated in the manual mode
including counting down only when the steamer is at cooking temperature, except that
the timer does not start or stop the steaming cycle.

2. Timer Operation

a) Setting the Timer

To set the cooking time, the timer must first be zeroed. The timer can be set only when
the cooking time display is clear (00:00). The cooking time display contains four digits.
The left two digits are minutes, and the right two digits are seconds. The display 12:34 is
set for 12 minutes and 34 seconds. To set the cooking time:

1) Change the required cooking time to minutes and seconds.

2) Press the number keys for minutes, and then, for the seconds.

3) If the cooking time is 99 seconds or less, only press the number keys for seconds.

b) Starting/Stopping the Timer

Press the START/STOP key to start or stop the timer. When the START/STOP key is
pressed, the steam generator begins heating the water to steam. Shortly, steam fills the
cooking compartment.

1) The timer display reads “PAUS” until the cooking compartment reaches proper
cooking temperature, or when the timer cycle is paused by pressing the
START/STOP key again after the timer has started.

2) When the cooking compartment reaches proper cooking temperature, the timer
display shows the count down.

NOTE: A timer setting of 10 minutes may in fact take 11 or 12 minutes (or even longer,

if the unit was not preheated prior to the start of the cooking cycle) for the timer
to count down and the alarm to sound. This is normal. Heating the compartment
and food to cooking temperature uses the additional time.
