base

DESCRIPTION

Will be a Market Forge Model ________ gas fired convection steam
cooker. Will be integrally mounted on a cabinet base containing gas
fired steam boiler.

The 3500 will be of double-wall construction with 1” (25mm) thick
insulation between cooking compartments and exterior walls, and
will have two 18 gauge stainless steel welded cooking compart­ments with coved internal corners, and a 16 gauge stainless steel
front panel.

Each cooking compartment on the 3500 has a positive slam action,
field-reversible door constructed of type 304 stainless steel. Door
latches are spring loaded. The inner door gasket is a one-piece
NSF-approved silicone rubber gasket. The cooking compartment is
equipped with a door interlock (switch) that shuts off steam to the
cooking compartment when the door is opened.Factory installs units
with the door opening from the right, see diagram.

Each compartment will be equipped with a perforated steam inlet
baffle positioned for precise application of high velocity steam
across the surface of food. Controls for each compartment will
include a 60-minute load compensating timer with constant steam

denser system, and a removable drip trough.

Each compartment will be independently and automatically con­trolled by setting the cooking time on the 60-minute timer. At the
end of cooking time, indicator light will turn off and a continuous
signal will sound. Signal is silenced by returning the timer to the
OFF position.

Stainless steel cabinet base will match other Market Forge stainless
steel equipment and enclose steam boiler. Base with stainless steel
frame will be equipped with 6” (152mm) stainless steel legs and
adjustable bullet feet, reinforced stainless steel counter-top, and
stainless steel lift-off front cover.

The CSD-1 compliant steam boiler features an intermittent spark
pilot ignition and nickel plating. The steam boiler will be automati­cally filled with water and brought to pressure when water and heat
switches are turned on and automatically drained under pressure
when water and heat switches are turned off. A cold water con­denser will automatically condense all exhausted steam before it is
released from the cooker and steam boiler drain. Also includes an
ASSE approved backflow preventer, automatic water level control,
low water cut-off, water strainer and cathodic protector. For more
boiler information see the M24G-M36G spec sheet (14-0111).

WATER SUPPLY

Good quality water feed is the responsibility of the owner. Water quality
must be within the following general guidelines.

TDS: 40-125 ppm Hardness: 35-100 ppm Chlorine: <0.2 ppm
Silica: <13 ppm Chlorides: <25 ppm
Chloramine: <0.2 ppm pH: 7.0 - 8.5

The best defense against poor water quality is a water treatment system
designed to meet your water quality conditions.

The manufacturer reserves the right to modify materials and specifications without notice.
