When steam is produced, the water in the boiler is being distilled. During this process, the minerals that come into the boiler with the water; remain in the boiler as the water boils away as steam. When allowed to accumulate, the water becomes highly mineralized, which results in erratic operation, lime build-up, corrosion, and premature electric heater failures. In some cases, complete boiler replacement becomes necessary, which is extremely expensive. By draining the boiler under pressure, most sediment present will be flushed down the drain.

2.The steamer is equipped with a drain in the back of the cooking compartment. No compartment should be o~ crated without the drain screen in place. This screen prevents large food particles from entering and possibly plugging the drain line. Any restriction of the drain line may cause a slight build-up of backpressure in the compartment, resulting in steam leaks around the door gasket. It also may adversely affect the convection action of the steam in the compartment, which is critical to optimum performance. Pouring USDA approved drain cleaner through the compartment drains once a week will help to ensure an open drain. An auger or "snake” may be safely used to clear obstructions in the compartment drains. Do not use a power auger, as damage to the plastic drain system will result.

With the steamer off, open the cooking compartment doors and allows the steamer to cool before cleaning the cooking compartments and their components.

3.At the end of each day's operation, wash the pan slides door gaskets, and compartment interiors with mild detergent and warm water, either by hand or in a dishwasher Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Rinse water should drain freely through the compartment drain openings. If it does not, the drain must be cleaned before using the steamer.

4.To prolong door gasket life, always leave compartment door ajar when not in use.

5.Exterior Care: Allow steamer to cool before washing. Use the same cleaners and cleaning procedures as for other kitchen surfaces of stainless steel and aluminum. Mild soapy water, with a dear water rinse, is recommended. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO RUN INTO ELECTRICAL Controls. Always turn off equipment power before using water to wash equipment. Do not hose down the steamer!

Periodically, a qualified serviceman should be summoned for routine preventive maintenance.

1.The Blowdown procedure will not completely remove the mineral deposits that adhere to the top of the boiler. A boiler treatment specialist should do a chemical descaling. This should be done 4 times a year in average water conditions, but in poor water areas it may be needed more often.

2.A qualified Field serviceman should make periodic boiler inspections.

3.The cold water line strainer should be cleaned weekly.

Preventive Maintenance and Record Keeping

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE is the key to keeping your equipment in top condition. There are certain cleaning procedures that should be performed on a regular schedule.

A. DAILY

1. Using a NON-CHLORINE DETERGENT

a. Wipe out the interior of the compartments b. Wipe the face of the compartments

c. Rinse the pan slides

d. When the steamer is not cooking, leave the door open resting against the door latch.

e. Wipe down the gaskets to prevent sticking

5. WEEKLY

1.Check the door gasket for wear and reverse or replace the gasket when needed.

2.Pour a liquid chemical descaler down the back of each compartment drain.

WARNING

Do not store gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

C. MONTHLY

1.Every 3 to 4 months the generator should be opened and checked for mineral build up or Chloride corrosion.
