MAINTENANCE

WARNING: THE STEAMER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE STEAMER.

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.

DELIMING

Refer to the water filter manual shipped in the box with your steamer.

STEAM UNLOADER PORTS

Your steamer is equipped with 5 psi steam unloader ports at the rear of the steamer. If steam pressure reaches 5 psi or more, steam will be exhausted through these ports. This pressure may be caused by clogged cooking cavity steam ports, clogged steam tubing from the generator to the cooking cavity, clogged drain plumbing or a blocked cooking cavity drain. Check and clear the cooking cavity drain. If steam is still exiting the steam unloader ports, contact your local Vulcan-authorized servicer.

VENT

Twice a year, check the vent, remove any obstructions and clean as necessary.
