INTRODUCTION
The Hatco STM-4G Electric Steamer is specially designed for cooking, reheating, defrosting, and bottling foods with steam. Inside the sealed cabinet of the Electric Steamer, steam is allowed to penetrate foods from all sides, heating foods evenly and thoroughly. Steam prevents foods from drying out so food remains moist and juices are not lost. Cooking with steam brings out the distinct flavor of the food retaining the food’s true taste. The Electric Steamer is a healthier cooking alternative to conventional methods.
Hatco Electric Steamer may also be used to disinfect containers, kitchen utensils and other items.
This manual provides the installation, safety and operating instructions for the Electric Steamer unit. We recommend all installation, operating and safety
instructions appearing in this manual be read prior to installation or operation of your Electric Steamer unit. Safety instructions that appear in this manual after a warning symbol 
and the words WARNING or CAUTION printed in bold face are very important. 
WARNING means there is the possibility of serious personal injury or death to yourself or others. 
CAUTION means there is the possibility of minor or moderate injury. NOTICE signifies the possibility of equipment or property damage only.
Hatco Electric Steamer units are a product of extensive research and field testing. The materials used were selected for maximum durability, attractive appearance and optimum performance. Every unit is thoroughly inspected and tested prior to shipment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
To avoid injury or damage to the unit DO NOT move or relocate the unit while it contains any food product or water in the tank.
Some exterior surfaces on the unit will get hot. Use caution when touching these areas to avoid injury.
To avoid unsafe conditions do not mix products that may contaminate each other during thawing process.
For safe and proper operation do not place food product directly onto bottom of unit. Use of a perforated pan is recommended for holding food product.
Do not place anything on top of the unit; doing so could damage the unit or subject personnel to possible injury.
Unit is not weatherproof. For safe and proper operation the unit must be located indoors where the ambient air temperature is a minimum of 21°C (70°F) and a maximum of 29°C (85°F).
To avoid the risk of injury, use caution not to spill hot food contents when removing containers from unit.
To avoid any injury or damage locate the unit at the proper counter height, in an area that is convenient for use. The location should be level to prevent the unit or its contents from accidentally falling, and strong enough to support the weight of the unit and contents.
Do not fill with water above or beyond the maximum water line (1 liter) on the water tank or damage may occur to the unit.
NOTICES
To assure proper operation and to prevent lime and scale buildup inside the unit, use distilled water or water that has been treated to prevent scale build-up.
Ensure the water tank is empty after each days use to prevent sediment build up in the appliance.
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or cleaners containing bleach. Also avoid the use of scouring pads, hard brushes, or steel wool as they may damage the surface of the appliance.
Cleaning and sanitizing is recommended at the end of each days use.
Do not use cleaning products containing aliphatic compounds as these could cause the seals to swell.
Use only vinegar or citric acid based descaling agents or descaling tablets to descale the appliance.
Use only non-abrasive cleaners with nonabrasive sponges or cloths. Abrasive cleaners could scratch the finish of your unit marring its appearance and making it susceptible to soil accumulation.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the outside of this appliance. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and penetrate the electrical components causing the appliance to short circuit.
Do not store cooked food in appliance for long periods of time. The moisture in the food can lead to corrosion in the appliance.
Use only suitable containers that are heat and steam resistant to 100°C (212°F).

STM-4G MODEL
Hatco's Electric Steamer produces steam in an enclosed cabinet for cooking, reheating, defrosting, or bottling of food products. When the oven door is closed a seal is formed. The sealed oven cabinet captures the steam and monitors the cabinet temperature with an internal thermostat. To avoid pressure buildup, steam is allowed to exit from the front upper vents inside the cabinet. Inside the main cabinet housing are side runners that support cooking pans or racks, and are easily removed for cleaning purposes. An independent cavity holds a removable 1 liter (.3 gal.) water tank, essential for the steam process. The steam oven has a outer drip tray to collect condensation that may accumulate on the door during operation.
The Electric Steamer comes equipped with a condensation pan to collect excess moisture inside the cabinet underneath the cooking pan(s), a stainless steel perforated pan and a metal rack for holding solid containers. Other pan options are available.
