The Cleveland Range Convection Steamer has two cook- ing modes: Manual and automatic. The Manual Mode provides continuous steaming and is turned on and off by the MANUAL/TIMED rocker switch. The Automatic Mode monitors cooking time and compartment temperature to provide accurate, efficient, uniform steam cooking.
NOTE: Whether using timed or manual cooking modes, optimum steam heat transfer, and therefore a higher quality food product, is achieved when shallow, perforated, uncovered pans are used.
