SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
NOTICE
Contact the factory, the factory representative or local service company to perform any
maintenance and repairs.
ADJUSTMENT FOR HIGH ALTITUDE LOCATIONS
The steamer has been factory set so that when it is ON
and during the READY phase, it will maintain water temperature in the steam generator tank at approximately
205° Fahrenheit (just below water boiling point). However, for high altitude locations, an authorized service agent
must adjust the steamer to achieve this temperature. To
adjust:
1. Remove side panel and turn control panel power
switch to ON.
2. Open compartment door, and after about 15 minutes,
steam will be seen, entering the cooking compartment.
3. Turn thermostat dial counter clockwise to lower temperature until steam just ceases to enter cooking
compartment and READY light goes on.
4. Replace side panel.
• READY light does not come on after about 15 minutes,
• Water begins to overow into cooking compartment,
• Water ll solenoid valve is open, then any or all of
these symptoms may indicate a problem with the
operating probe due to either:
1. A short between the operating probe terminal and
body of the steamer. Call your authorized service
agent.
2. Excessive scale build-up on the operating probe.
This acts as an “insulation” and prevents the probe
from sensing the water level. It is therefore unable
to close the water ll (solenoid) valve to shut off the
water.
As a temporary solution, with power OFF, unscrew
probes, check visually, and clean or chip off scalant. Replace probe.
This problem is an indication of severe harmful water conditions which should be corrected immediately to avoid
damage to the components and ultimate malfunction of
the steamer. (See WATER CONDITIONING in this manual).
5. Follow TESTING PROCEDURES in this manual.
WATER FLOWS INTO DRAIN DURING SHUTDOWN
When steamer is shut down and cold water is running
continuously into the open drain, either or both solenoid
valves did not close when steamer was turned off.
1. Disassemble solenoid valve(s) and examine for scale
or foreign particles lodged in diaphragm or core tube.
2. Clean valve(s) thoroughly and reassemble, or replace
valve(s).
DRAIN WATER TEMPERATURE TOO LOW OR TOO
HIGH
Cooling solenoid valves are adjustable with ne adjustment screw on the bottom of the valve.
1. Run cooking compartment empty until drain temperature stabilizes.
2. Turn ne adjustment screw on cooling solenoid valve
out to decrease drain temperature and in to increase
drain temperature.
WATER OVERFLOWS INTO COOKING COMPARTMENT
When steamer is rst turned on for the day, and the following conditions occur:
HEATER ELEMENTS DO NOT COME ON
When the steamer is turned ON and heater elements do
not activate, and therefore, the READY light does not
come on, then the contactors may be burned out. If a
considerable amount of “chattering” of contactors has
been previously experienced, then the thermostat bulb
may be coated with scalant and unable to sense water
temperature in the boiler accurately, and therefore unable
to control the contactors.
1. Replace contactors.
2. Unscrew operating thermostat bulb, clean off scalants and screw thermostat bulb back in.
This problem is an indication of inadequate water quality
and is not covered under warranty. Have water quality
analysed and corrected immediately to avoid complete
malfunction of the steamer.
UNIT SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN OPERATION
Pressure switch has been activated due to 5 PSI (35 kg/
cm2) pressure in the generator tank. Pressure in the
generator tank is caused due to plugged steam jet tubes
or steam diverters due to scale or poor water conditions.
Steam jet tubes/steam diverter will have to be cleaned or
replaced.
