YOUR "SET IT AND FORGET IT" MARK-FORE

Same as Automatic.

MODEL "A" AND "A-1" STEAM COOKERS are the
ultimate in steam cooking advancement and were

developed through extensive research and
engineering skills to satisfy an urgent demand for an

easy-to-operate, easy-to-service steam cooker.
Independently controlled cooking compartments

constitute a remarkable and superior feature.
Each compartment can be used alone, or all three

can be employed simultaneously because each has
its own timing, steam control and signal devices.
The careful factory workmanship of Market Forge

craftsmen in developing this newest scientific
triumph in steam cooking equipment is your
guarantee of efficient, dependable performances.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

This manual contains maintenance and service in­structions for Model "A" and "A-1" automatic and
manually operated steam cookers. The exploded
view drawings of components are aids to the
identification, disassembly and assembly of parts.
The parts listings provide information necessary for
ordering replacement parts (proper part names and
part numbers). When requesting parts or service,
always furnish the model and serial number of your
machine. The serial number is located on the left
side under the bezzel on the con-trol panel. A
listing of Factory Aut horized Service Agencies who
maintain Market Forge equipment will be supplied
without charge upon request.

ORDERING REPAIR PARTS

Many repair parts on the Model "A1" steam
cooker are not interchangeable with parts on
the "A" cooker. It is necessary, therefore, to
furnish the following information when ordering

repair parts.

1. Quantity, part number and description of
part.

2. Model and Serial number for which the part
is required.

3. Please specify how you wish merchandise
shipped. If this information is not furnished
we will ship the best and most economical

way.
NOTE- All part orders received before 2:00

P.M. are shipped the same day the order is
received.

BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
AUTOMATIC

1. Check to be sure the steam pressure gauge
regis-ters between 4 and 5 pounds.

2. Place pans of food into the cook ing
compartment to be used.

3. Close and latch the door.

4. Turn the door wheel clockwise to seal the
cooking compartment.

WARNING: Do not permit steam to leak.
Set the door tight enough to make a firm
seal. Steam leakage will cause undue
wear to the gasket.

5. Turn timer pointer clockwise to the 60 minute
mark, and then to the desired cooking time.

6. Pull the-operating handle out and allow it to
lock in this position. The pilot light will signify
this cooking compartment is in operation. At
the end of the cooking cycle the AUTOMATIC
controls will release the operating handle,
shutting off the steam supply and exhausting
the steam from the cooking com-partment.
The pilot light will be turned off and the
buzzer will signify that cooking has been
terminated.

7. Press the buzzer release knob to silence the
buzzer.

FOR MANUALLY OPERATED

1 through 5

6. Set timer. When bell rings, lift handle and
push in to shut off cooker.

WATTS PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES - 3/4"

To provide adequate steam pressure regulation, your
unit may be equipped with a Wat ts steam pressure re­ducing valve. The 3/4" Watts pressure reducing valve is
designed to operate from a 7 to 50 P.S.I, source of
steam pressure and reduce this to 5 P.S.I, for delivery to
your cooker. Installation must be made from your source
of steam supply, through the pressure reducing valve,
and into the manifold input part of the steam cooker.

WARNING: Before final connection is made, blow

down your steam line to remove all dirt, scale,

packing and compound which may have

accumulated during the installation of piping to the

cooker.

OPERATION OF WATTS 3/4" REDUCING VALVE

Steam enters the valve at the inlet port and passes up­ward through the seat (8) into the discharge side of the
valve. As pressure in the discharge side increases, it
forces the diaphragm (2) upward, overcoming the tension
of the adjusting spring (1) and closing valve. As the
pressure drops, the adjusting spring forces the
diaphragm down, reopening the valve. Where demand
and initial pressures are fairly constant, the valve opens
to the proper position and maintains the desired re duced
pressure.

ADJUSTING WATTS 3/4" REDUCING VALVE

1. Release the adjusting screw lock nut and loosen the
adjusting screw enough to release all tension on ad­justing spring (1).

2. Turn steam on slowly. Then turn adjusting screw
clockwise just enough to allow the valve to open
slightly. Allow cooker to operate in this manor
several minutes.

3. Turn adjusting screw down slowly, at intervals,
until reduced pressure reaches the desired Point.
(5 P.S.I.)

4. Tighten adjusting screw lock nut.

5. If chattering noise should occur turn adjusting screw
located in bottom half of valve body, clockwise or
counter-clockwise, until chattering stops.

INSPECTION - MAINTENANCE

Reports of unsatisfactory regulation of the pressure
reducing valve is usually due to dirt, pipe compound,
etc., blocking the internal strainer, or gumming up the
seat and disc assembly. To clean the strainer, seat,
and disc assembly remove the bottom plug (6) and
remove strainer screen (5), bottom spring (7) and disc
assy. (9) Clean the lower part of the valve. This can be
accom plished without removing the valve from the line
or unbolting the cover. If cleaning the strainer and disc
assy. does not correct fault, the disc assy. and seat
should be replaced. Also the top cover should be re­moved and the diaphragm button stem assembly
should be removed and cleaned.

REPAIRS
The following item should be cleaned or replaced

should the value fail to operate properly.

1. Both the disc assembly (9) and strainer (5) are re­moved by removing the bottom plug (11) and bottom
spring (7). Upon cleaning or replacing these items,
be sure that the disc assembly (9) is seated properly
on the stem assembly (4) otherwise the stem
assembly will be bent restricting its mov ement and
the regulation of steam through the valve.

2. Should there be a restriction in the diaphragm button
and stem assembly (4) it will cause a drop in steam
flow or large fluctuations in steam pressure. It is
then necessary to replace diaphragm but ton and
stem assembly (4), valve stem guide (12) and
diaphragm gasket (3) as well as those items in step

1.

Upon completion of the above and removal of any
loose scale, which may be found in the valve, the valve
should be reassembled; and upon installation, function
properly.

ADJUSTING TYPE K REDUCING VALVES

1. Release the adjusting screw lock nut and loosen
adjusting screw (1) enough to release all tension
on adjusting spring (4).

The 3/4" Strong Pressure Reducing Valve, Type K is
designed to operate from a 20 to 100 P.S.I, source of
steam and reduce this to 5 P.S.I, for delivery to your
steam cooker.

With the introduction of a pressure reducing valve to
your input line, it is recommended that a pressure gauge
be also installed on the supply side so that the actual
steam input pressure may be constantly record-ed. The
selection of a pressure gauge must be made to operate
within the range of pressure experienced from your
source of supply. The reduced pressure may con-stantly
be read on the steam cooker pressure gauge.

WARNING: Before final installation connection is made,

blow down your steam line to remove all
dirt, scale, packing, and compound which
may have accumulated within the new
piping.

OPERATION OF TYPE K REDUCING VALVES
Steam enters inlet port and passes upward through seat

(12) into discharge side of valve. As pressure in
discharge side increases, diaphragm (9) is forced
upward overcoming tension of adjusting spring (4) and
closing valve. As pressure drops, adjusting spring (4)
forces diaphragm (9) down, reopening valve.

2. Turn steam on slowly. Then turn adjusting screw (1)
down just enough to allow the valve to open slightly.
Allow cooker to operate in this manner several
minutes.

3. Turn adjusting screw (1) down slowly, at intervals
until reduced pressure reaches the desired point.

4. Tighten adjusting screw lock nut.

INSPECTION - MAINTENANCE - REPAIRS
Reports of unsatisfactory regulation of the pressure

reducing valve is usually due to dirt, pipe compound,
etc., blocking the internal strainer or gumming up the
internal mechanism. To clean the strainer, unscrew
bottom plug (16) and remove strainer screen (13).
Clean the lower part of the valve. This can be accom­plished without removing the valve from the line or
unbolting the cover. If cleaning the strainer does not
correct fault, remove the valve from the line and dis­assemble. After thoroughly cleaning, the seat insert
(12) and disc (14) should be ground together, using a
very fine abrasive or compound. The seat insert and
disc are of the ball type and must be "wobbled" when
lapping. Avoid excessive lapping as this will cause
ridges to form and make tight seating impossible.

TO SERVICE SUPPLY VALVE AGAINST LEAKS

Remove the interference of the pivot arm by detaching
it at the actuating arm junction and from the pivot stud.
Remove the pivot stud and proceed as follows:

1. Remove existing valve cap (6). (It is not neces­sary to remove the valve.)

2. Replace valve cap (6) with the seating tool after

having retarded the bolt to a point where it will not

prematurely strike the ball in the valve.

3. After the seating tool-is well secured, screw down
the bolt to make contact with the ball assembly and
apply pressure to force the ball to "make" a new

seat.

4. Remove the seating tool and replace it with
original valve cap(6). (We recommend an
application of "Rectorseal" to threads to make a

secure fit.)

5. Repeat the above process if the first attempt
does not stop the valve from leaking.

'(Seating tool may be obtained from the factory.)
THE STEAM PRESSURE GAUGE ASSEMBLY
To remove the complete steam pressure gauge

assembly, it will first be necessary to remove the side
panel. The steam pressure gauge may then be
detached by removing item (2) and then removing the
two nuts which hold the pressure gauge bracket in
place. The guage is then removed from the front of
cooker. To reassemble, reverse the above procedure.

THE CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY

The control box assembly is a device which
converts an electrical impulse into a mechanical
action. The mechanical action, stemming from the
sudden release of a spring loaded system of
levers, shuts off the steam supply, exhausts the
steam from the cooking chamber, switches off a
pilot light, and sets off a buzzer. This action is
preset manually, with the simple action of setting
the timer to the cooking timer required and pulling
out the operating handle into the "on" position.
The illustrations of "on" and "off" positions will
serve to familiarize you with the proper
relationship of the inner parts of the control box
assembly.

HOW IT WORKS

When in "off" position; the valve will be closed re­stricting the steam from passing into the cooking
compartment, the pilot light will be off, the buzzer
inactive and the solenoid de-energized.

When the timer is set for the required cooking time
and the operating handle is pulled to the "on"
position; the valve will be opened to allow steam
into the cooking compartment, the pilot light will
light up, signifying that cooking is taking place, the
buzzer and solenoid will still be de-energized.

When the cycle on the timer clock has been
completed, a flow of current will energize the solenoid
forcing the solenoid push rod to lift and disengage the
operating handle. The operating handle now freed
from the bumper and stop bar will spring back to the
"off" position. The innermost micro-switch, released
from the pressure of the pin of the operating handle
will break the circuit to the solenoid, and the pilot light
and the solenoid both will become inactive. The
nearer solenoid having been pushed into a locked
position under the buzzer lock will remain in contact
operating the buzzer until released by pushing the
buzzer release knob by hand.

TROUBLE -TEST AND REMEDIES

If the operating handle will not lock in the "on"
position:

Check first that timer has been set. Check that
the stop bar is properly secured.
Check that solenoid and bracket is pos itioned
properly.

If the operating handle fails to retract to "off" position:

Check the valve synchronizer spring for
looseness. Check all linkage for binding or
loosened parts.

Check switch on timer for continuity.
Check micro switch for bent arm.

Check for blown fuse and then for defective
wiring or defective solenoid.
