WARNING
ALL POTENTIAL USERS OF THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE TRAINED IN SAFE AND CORRECT OPERATING
PROCEDURES.
NO ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT DURING A POWER FAILURE.
NOTE: Before the steamer can be operated as described in this section, the pilot burner flame must be established. For

A. Controls (See Illustration)
Operator controls are on the front right of the unit.
The control panel on new models has the following
touch pads and indicator lights:
! The ON/OFF touch pad gets the HyPerSteam
ready for use, or shuts it off.
! The READY indicator light shows that the
steam generator is at standby temperature
and the cavity is hot enough to begin
steaming.
! The CLEANING indicator light is lit when the
unit is operating in the cleaning mode.
! The SERVICE indicator light shows when the
water level probes have stopped working, and
need to be cleaned (normally an indication of
lime deposits).
When one probe is not working, the
SERVICE light flashes briefly every few
seconds. If both probes fail, the light flashes
continuously and the beeper will sound.
! The HI TEMP indicator light comes on when
the steam generator is too hot.
The unit will automatically shut off, and
cannot be turned on again until the steam
generator cools and the HI TEMP indicator
light goes out.
! The TIMING indicator light stays on when the
timer is running.
! The CLEAN touch pad is used to start the
automatic 30 minute cleaning cycle.
B. Operating Procedure
1. Press the ON switch/pad for the steamer. The
steam generator will fill, and heat until the READY
light comes on. (About 10 minutes.)
2. Load food into pans in uniform layers. Pans
should be filled to about the same levels, and
should be even on top.
3. Open the door and slide the pans onto the
supports. If you will only be steaming one pan,
put it in the middle position.
4. Close the door.
With the READY indicator lit,
take one of the following steps:
! If you want to steam the food for a certain
length of time, set the timer for that period.
The timer will automatically run the steamer
for the set time and then turn it off. A red
light will come on and a beeper will sound.
Steam production stops.
! If you want to steam continuously, turn the
timer to the manual ON position. A green
light will come on. The unit will continue
steaming until you stop it by turning the
timer to OFF. When steaming continuously
YOU MUST CONTROL STEAMING TIME.
WARNING
WHEN YOU OPEN THE
DOOR, STAY AWAY
FROM THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE UNIT.
THE STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.
5. Open the door. Remove the pans from the
steamer, using hot pads or oven mitts to protect
your hands from the hot pans.
6. To shut down the unit, press the ON switch/pad
to OFF. The steam generator will automatically
drain.
Gas Lockout Indicator and Reset Control
Should the pilot fail to ignite during start-up, and
indicator on the control panel (see below) will light,
and the supply of gas to the unit will be halted.
When this happens, the ignition process may not be
started again for five minutes. After that time, press
the Lockout Reset switch located behind the front
panel and try to start the unit again. If the lockout
continues to occur after three attempts, contact
your Groen Service Agency for assistance.
