SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

To use a SteamCraft Convection Steamer safely and effectively, each operator must read and understand this Manual completely before starting operation. The owners and operators of the steamer should retain this Manual in an easily accessible location for future reference and training.

The owner(s) and operator(s) of the steamer must be aware that steam can cause serious injuries and equipment damage. Pay particular attention to the Operational Safety section of this chapter, and the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS displayed in this manual and on the equipment.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START OR OPERATE a SteamCraft steamer during a power outage.

DEATH, INJURY, AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE could result from the improper installation of a steamer.

Before starting a recently installed or repaired steamer, be sure it has been installed by qualified personnel according to the instructions found in the separate Installation and Maintenance Manual.

A. OPERATIONAL SAFETY

The safe and effective operation of any steamer depends upon proper installation, use, maintenance, and repair. Operational safety must encompass all of these factors. This Operational Safety section outlines the minimum safety policies that should be considered when using one or more SteamCraft steamers. It is assumed that any operational safety program must be tailored to the specific site and use of the equipment.

Burn hazards are present in any professional food service operation. When using the steamer, observe the following precautions.

Remember at all times that steam can cause severe burns.

When checking inside the steamer always open the door slowly and stand to the side and back away from the steamer. Water leaking from the door gasket can be a sign of a blocked drain. If the drain is blocked, hot water can accumulate inside the compartment and spill out when the door is opened.

Make sure the compartment is turned OFF. Open the door slightly to allow steam to vent before looking or reaching into cooking compartment.

Do not reach into the cooking compartment until the steam has cleared.

Do not reach into steamer or handle hot items without wearing heatproof gloves. Wet or damp gloves conduct heat, and may cause burns when touching hot items.

Do not use anything but your hands to operate the ON/OFF controls.

Do not block the vents on the side, rear or underside of the unit or otherwise obstruct the flow of ventilation air to the steamer. Do not store articles on top of the unit.

The steamer requires a minimum of service if properly operated and maintained by trained personnel. The following steps will help keep the steamer in a safe, efficient operating condition.

(1)Do not store or leave combustible materials near the steamer. Keep the area around and under the steamer free of combustible materials.

(2)Non slip draining mats should be on the floor in front of the steamer to prevent slipping accidents from spilled water.
