With an optional “hold” feature, your Steam Tech™ will keep cooked foods at 160°F until you are ready to serve, giving you more time between cooking and serving - it’s a Market Forge exclusive.
As your operation grows, so does your Steam Tech™. By stacking multiple Steam Tech™ models, you can ac- commodate up to 10 pans, creating a complete
BASIC FUNCTIONING:
To begin operation, the power switch is pressed into the on position, illuminating the power light. This opens the water feed solenoid valve to the steam generator. Once the appropriate water levels have been reached, the heating element is energized. When the water in the steam generator has reached 195°F, the green ready light, is illuminated, indicating that the unit is now ready to make steam and all controls are functional.
A steaming mode is selected, with the timer/selector switch. For continuous steam, set the selector timer knob to the “constant steam” position (the green area of the selector/timer switch). The cooker will continue to steam until the switch is moved to the “off” position. If you desire a timed steam cooking cycle, just set the timer knob to the cook time (up to 60 minutes).
In the timed steam mode, the cooker will create steam
for the duration of time you have set. Once the timer reaches the end of its cycle (0 minutes) the buzzer will sound. The buzzer is silenced by returning the timer knob to the “off” position, which ceases the steaming function. The generator will continue to idle at 195°F.
For units equipped with the optional digital timer, please refer to the optional digital control timer section on page 7 for basic explanation.
For units equipped with the optional steam and hold fea- ture, an additional mode selector switch is used to place the cooker into the hold mode. At the completion of the cooking cycle, place the timer knob to the “off” position and then place the hold switch to the “on” position.
The hold feature is controlled by a separate thermo- stat with an additional temperature gauge mounted just above the control panel. The unit will now act as a hold- ing cabinet until you call for steam again. During this time, the generator will continue to idle at 195°F.
Your new cooker is equipped with a clean generator light which automatically illuminates when the steam genera- tor has accumulated mineral
Steam or hot water leaving the unit is drained out the rear of the cooking cavity. Your unit is equipped with a drain water cooling system which adds cold water to this discharge. The cold water cools the hot discharge below 140°F which is suitable for standard drain lines. (Note: Do not use PVC or CPVC for drain piping.)
