OPERATION

Operation of the Cleveland Range Convection Steamer is very easy. Each operator should read and understand the following procedures to effectively start, operate, and shut down the steamer each day. The owner(s) and operator(s) of this equipment should be aware that live steam could cause serious injuries, pay particular attention to the WARNINGS in this text. These instructions are to be retained by the owner(s)) and operator(s) for future reference.

Note: These instructions pertain to pressure steamers equipped with a steam generator (boiler). For pressure steamers direct-connected to a remote (in-house) steam source. Disregard those instructions, which pertain solely to a self- contained boiler.

START-UP AND PREHEAT

WARNING

Do not attempt to start or operate the Pressure Steamers during a power failure. Critical safety circuits are not energized, and serious injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result.

Boiler Controls

1.Start the steam supply. The steam is either an integral steam generator boiler) built into the base unit, or an external steam supply.

•For units without a built-in boiler, refer to the start-up procedures for the external steam supply and be sure it is running properly. As soon as the pressure gauge

On the Pressure Steamer front console is a pressure gauge, when it registers 10 psi, steamer preheating may begin. Skip the remainder of step I, and begin step 2.

•For units with a built-in boiler, fill the boiler with water and start the steam generator as described in step a. through d. below.

a.Press the ON end of the POWER on-off rocker switch located next to the steam pressure gauge (Figure 2).

The red indicator light in the POWER rocker switch turns on and the steam generator begins to fill with water units takes about 5 minutes.

b.When the water level in the steam generator reaches a safe operating level, the amber light in the STEAM momentary switch turns on. Whenever the amber light is on, the heaters, steam supply, or burners are off, and no steam is being generated. The energy source (electric, gas, etc.) cannot be activated until the boiler contains sufficient water, indicated by the amber light.

c.Press the STEAM (amber colored) momentary switch to produce steam in the boiler this activates the energy source (electric heaters, gas burners, or steam so- lenoid valve) and the amber light turns off. The STEAM switch must be pressed to restart the steamer after it is shut off for any reason (including a brief power interruption). No attempt should be made to operate the equipment during a power failure.

NOTE: For steamers with built-in gas-fired boilers: If the burners fail to ignite in four seconds, a safety circuit energizes the system. In this event toggle the POWER rocker switch to the OFF position and back to the ON position. The amber light in the STEAM momentary switch lights. Wait five minutes, and then press the STEAM momentary switch to start the burner ignition cycle once again.

d. About 15 minutes after starting the boiler in step C; the steam pressure gauge on the unit base should register

10 psi.

2.To preheat, close and latch the door securely Turn the bar handle clockwise until the gasket just touches the compartment face.

3.Start the steam supply by pulling the steam valve handle out' The handle is located to the immediate left of the door latch. set the time for 5 minutes. The standard mechanical timer must be turned past 10 minutes to wind the spring. then set the timer for S minutes. This is not necessary with the optional automatic timer. At the start the compartment thermostatic traps will release air and wet steam for about two minutes, then shut of. Throughout the preheating or cooking cycles, the traps will open and close periodically. venting cooler steam and condensate

4.Seal the compartment door by turning the bar handle clockwise just until steam leakage stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

5.At the completion of the 5-minute preheating cycle, the timer's bell will ring. If fitted with an optional automatic timer; turning the knob to "Or. will stop the bell. Push
