Operation

Operator Controls

Rocker Switch (Power On/Off)

When the Rocker Switch (Power On/OFF) is in the ON position, the Control Board is activated. If the genera- tor temperature is below the factory preset setpoint, power is applied to the generator until the setpoint temperature is reached. The generator is constantly monitored and power is regulated to maintain the tem- perature setpoint.

menu buttons

When any menu button is pressed and released, power is supplied to the solenoid, the solenoid oper- ates, and water sprays onto the heated steam genera- tor surface. The water flashes immediately into live steam to heat the product.

One of two operational modes can be used: Single Shot or Timed Cycle

Single Shot

The Single Shot button (Figure 3) is pressed and released to initiate a single shot. The Control Board applies power to the solenoid and a single “shot” of steam occurs.

TimeD CYcle

The desired timed steaming cycle (up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) is selected by pressing and releas- ing any of the four menu buttons (Figure 3). The main Control Board applies power to the solenoid at regular intervals for the duration of the displayed cycle time. The display counts down to zero when the cycle is complete, then reverts back to the original programmed cycle time and the unit is ready for the next cycle.

IMPORTANT: Your steamer is factory programmed for the following (on each of the 4 menu channels):

•Total Cycle Time = 10 seconds [00:10]

(Range: 1 second to 99 minutes and 59 seconds)

•Shot Interval Rate (RATE) = 5 seconds [00:05] (Range: 1 second to 5 minutes and 59 seconds)

•Steam Shot Time (SHOT) = 0.70 second [00:70] (Range: 0.10 second to 2.50 seconds)

This converts approximately 3/4 oz. (25 milliliters) of water to steam every 5 seconds for a 10 second steaming cycle. To change any of these settings refer to the Programming section of this manual.
