8.Verify that the gas supply is adequate:

•Monitor gas pilot pressure as the main burner lights. Sufficient gas supply will not allow the gas pilot pressure to drop when the main burner gas valve is energized.

•Gas pilot pressure dropping more than 0.25" W.C. indicates an insufficient supply. Larger diameter (ID) gas supply piping to the steamer must be used.

•Turn on other gas equipment that shares the gas supply line to the steamer. Verify gas pilot pressure does not drop more than 0.25" W.C. when the main burner gas valve is energized.

9.Steam generation will begin in about 10 minutes. Observe that the boiler pressure gauge indicates steam pressure in the range of 5 to 12 psi. Burners on gas models cycle on at 8 psi and off at 10 psi. Heaters on electric models cycle on at 10 psi and off at 12 psi. On first startup each day, the pressure in the boiler of gas models may overshoot and the pressure relief valve may open.

10.Set all timer dials to OFF.

11.Open all compartment doors and observe that no steam has entered the cooking compartments.

12.Close compartment doors.

13.Set all timer dials to 5 minutes. (Turn timer knob to 10 minutes or more to trip the switches, then back to 5 minutes.)
