B. KEYPAD TIMER CONTROL PANEL

(1)Cooking Operations – Keypad Control Panel

For safe, efficient operation of the steamer, the operator must, at a minimum, comply with all cautions, warnings and instructions in the detailed operating procedures and be familiar with the control panel shown in Figure 2-2. The operator must be familiar with all the operating features explained in this manual before attempting to operate the steamer.

(2)Manual and Timed Modes

The steamer has two operating modes: manual and timed. The TIMED/MANUAL rocker switch selects the operating mode. Pressing the MANUAL end of the switch selects the manual-operating mode. Pressing the TIMED end of the switch selects the timed (automatic) operating mode.

a.Manual Mode

The manual mode provides continuous steaming. The operator starts and stops steaming operations manually. See the Operating and Cooking Procedure – Manual Mode in Section 4, Part B for more information.

b.Timed Mode and Use of the Timer

1.Timer Use and Temperature Compensation

•The keypad timer control starts and stops steaming operation, and monitors cooking time and compartment temperature for accurate, efficient, uniform steam cooking.

•The keypad control uses a temperature compensation circuit that effects only the timer. When operating, the timer ONLY COUNTS DOWN WHILE THE COOKING COMPARTMENT IS AT COOKING TEMPERATURE. This provides totally automatic control of the steaming operation and assures uniform cooking as the timer automatically compensates for food product defrosting and/or compartments heat up time. Whenever the steamer is not at cooking temperature 193°F, the timer pauses and the display shows “PAUS”, once temperature is reached a digital display of the remaining time is displayed. When the timer counts down to zero a buzzer will sound, to indicate that cooking is complete and the steam generator will shut down.

•The timer will operate similarly when the steamer is being operated in the manual mode including counting down only when the steamer is at cooking temperature, except that the timer does not start or stop the steaming cycle.

2.Timer Operation

a)Setting the Timer

To set the cooking time, the timer must first be zeroed. The timer can be set only when the cooking time display is clear (00:00). The cooking time display contains four digits. The left two digits are minutes, and the right two digits are seconds. The display 12:34 is set for 12 minutes and 34 seconds. To set the cooking time:

1)Change the required cooking time to minutes and seconds.

2)Press the number keys for minutes, and then, for the seconds.

3)If the cooking time is 99 seconds or less, only press the number keys for seconds.

b)Starting/Stopping the Timer

Press the START/STOP key to start or stop the timer. When the START/STOP key is pressed, the steam generator begins heating the water to steam. Shortly, steam fills the cooking compartment.

1)The timer display reads “PAUS” until the cooking compartment reaches proper cooking temperature, or when the timer cycle is paused by pressing the START/STOP key again after the timer has started.

2)When the cooking compartment reaches proper cooking temperature, the timer

display shows the count down.

NOTE: A timer setting of 10 minutes may in fact take 11 or 12 minutes (or even longer, if the unit was not preheated prior to the start of the cooking cycle) for the timer to count down and the alarm to sound. This is normal. Heating the compartment and food to cooking temperature uses the additional time.
