5.0 MAINTENANCE

COLD WATER CONDENSER

The steamer is equipped with a cold water condenser in the rear of the cooking chamber which helps to condense the steam prior to discharge into the drain. The steamer freely vents itself by the negative pressure created by the condensate water drainage. This negative pressure prevents steam leakage around the door gasket and helps draw the steam through the cooking compartment. Steam leakage at the door may indicate a plugged or improperly installed drain.

REMOVAL OF SCALE DEPOSITS

It is recommended that your steamer be delimed once a month, or more often if necessary.

Should your steamer develop a heavy buildup of lime scale deposits, use CLR.

Before beginning deliming procedures, ensure that water is not overflowing into the cooking compartment.

The generator tank has a removable sealed tank cover. The main purpose of the removable cover is for inspection of the interior of the tank for lime build up and easy removal of large pieces of lime that will not flush out drain. Should the tank cover have to be removed, check condition of sealing gasket before replacing cover. The hold down bolts are to be tightened to 160 inch pound torque each.

WARNING: Read and follow instructions on the CLR bottle. Use plastic or rubber gloves to avoid skin contact. If CLR comes in contact with skin, rinse with clean water.

1.Drain steam generator by setting the main power switch to OFF. Set cooking timer to “O".

2.Set the main power switch to DELIME.

3.Delime port (A) is located on left side at rear of unit. Unscrew hex plug from elbow to allow CLR solution to be poured in using a tube and funnel. Pour in 28 ounces of solution into the generator (pour slowly to avoid spillage). Remove tube and funnel.

4.Screw the hex plug back into the elbow so that it is sealed.

5.Turn main power switch to ON.

6.Allow steamer to remain in READY cycle for 1-1/2 hours, then turn main power switch OFF and allow generator to drain.
