Safe use of your Capella steamer:
WARNINGs:
1. Drain hose must be connected to drain before opening drain valve.
2. The water hose and ball valve may be very hot. It is advisable to allow the water to cool down before
draining. Leaving the door open will aid cooling.
3. The reservoir water may still be hot. It is advisable to let the water cool down prior to draining.
4. The cooking chamber is designed to retain heat. It may still be hot to the touch when cleaning. Wear
protective gloves, or wait for the surface to cool before cleaning. Do not add water to a hot empty cooking
chamber until it has cooled down, or damage may result.
CAUTIONs:
1. Do not use utensils, steel wool, or other harsh abrasives to clean your steamer or damage to the cooking
compartment surface may occur.
2. A level steamer is required for the water level sensor probe to function properly.
3. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, utensils or scrubbers on the interior of the cooking chamber. Use vinegar
and water to clean the cooking chamber and mild detergent to remove grease. Nylon bristle brushes or soft
sponges are recommended.
4. Do not add water to a hot dry cooking chamber. Damage to the cooking chamber may result. If the cooking
chamber has run dry, let it cool before refilling.
5. Starchy foods (potatoes, pasta, peas) can cause the cooking water to become frothy. Add 2 tablespoons of
cooking oil to the water to control foaming.
NOTEs:
These labels are to assist the operator with proper operation of this equipment. NOTEs do not
present a hazard to the operator or the equipment.

I) Diagnostic sensor shut off: The thermostat controller has a built in diagnostic feature that will
automatically shut down all heaters if the sensor probe fails, to avoid overheating.

IV) Door open safety switch: There is a safety switch built into the door frame that shuts down all
functions (heaters, fan motor and heating light) when the door is opened. Once the door is closed,
