Inspecting the Cooking Compartment | Cleveland Range 24CEA10

D.INSPECTING THE COOKING COMPARTMENT

At the back of the cooking compartment, a drain screen covers the drain. Refer to Figure 3-3. The screen prevents large food particles from entering and blocking the drain line. Any blockage of the drain line or screen can reduce drainage from the cooking compartment resulting in reduced cooking performance, equipment damage, and a hazard to the operator. A blocked or slow drain may cause:

•Hot water to collect in the compartment and spill out

	when the compartment door opens.		DRAIN SCREEN
•	when the compartment door opens.
•	Pressure fluctuations in the compartment, resulting in	Figure 3-3 Compartment Drain Screen
	Pressure fluctuations in the compartment, resulting in
	steam leaks around the door gasket, or compartment
	implosion.

•Reduced convection in the compartment, reducing cooking performance.

CAUTION

Steam leaks around the door, cooking compartment flooding, reduced cooking performance, and compartment implosion can be caused by a blocked drain or drain screen. Inspect and clean the drain and drain screen before each use.

Before every steaming operation, inspect the cooking compartment and remove any food scraps of debris from the racks, walls, and floor of the compartment. Pay particular attention to the drain screen.

(1)DO NOT USE the steamer if water stands in the drain opening. Arrangements must be made immediately to clean the drain in accordance with the instructions found in the Preventative Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual.

(2)Remove any food or debris that is blocking the drain or screen.

(3)Be sure the screen covers the drain. The screen prevents large pieces of food from entering and blocking the drain.

E.PREHEATING THE STEAMER

Preheating the steamers can help insure that the best productivity and consistent cooking is obtained. To preheat each steamer, run a cooking cycle of approximately 15 minutes with no food in the cooking compartments.

NOTE: If using a steamer with a keypad timer, set only a 1 minute cooking time for the purpose of preheating, since the timer will only begin to countdown once the steamer has reached a cooking temperature.

•BEFORE PREHEATING, inspect and clean the compartment. After preheating, the compartment will be too hot to inspect and clean safely.

F. DESCALING REQUIRED LIGHT FEATURE

When the programmed number of hours have elapsed, the “DESCALE REQUIRED” light will turn on, indicating that descaling of the steam generator must be done (See Figure 3-4). More information on this feature and the descaling procedure can be found in the Maintenance section of this manual, Section 6, Part A (4), Monthly Maintenance.

Note: Switch does not descale unit, it is just a reminder that steamer must be descaled every 4-6 weeks.
