INSTALLATION

STEP 5: CHECK THE INSTALLATION

Check the installation of each steamer, as follows:

1.Check that all screws and bolts are tightened.

2.Check that the electrical connection has been made correctly.

3.Check that the steamer is level. If not, adjust the legs (or level the countertop surface).

4.Check that the appropriate minimum clearances are satisfied (see page 4).

5.Check the door for proper alignment, and that it opens and closes properly.

6.Check that there is sufficient clearance in front of the steamer to open the door and to pull out the pans.

7.Wipe clean all surfaces.

STEP 6: CHECK STEAMER OPERATION

Check the operation of each steamer, as follows:

1.Fill tank with water.

2.Turn on the electric power supply.

3.Move the ON/OFF lever to the “ON” position and check that the Power light comes on.

4.Check that the timer and buzzer operate correctly.

5.Open the door and check that water is entering the cavity (NOTE: The fill rate is slow).

6.Wait four minutes, then check that some water has covered the bottom of the cavity.

7.Depress the door-switch actuator rod and listen for an audible “click.” Release the door-switch actuator rod and listen for another audible “click.” (The clicks indicate that the contactor is functioning properly.)

8.Check that steam is escaping from the vent at the top left rear corner of the steamer.

9.Move the ON/OFF lever to the “OFF” position and check that the Power light goes out. Also check that the water is draining correctly into the drain, and that the steamer completely drains.

STEP 7: SHUT-DOWN AND WIPE-CLEAN STEAMER

Complete the installation by leaving the steamer ready for customer use:

1.Allow the steamer to cool.

2.Wipe clean all surfaces.

3.Unless the steamer is to be placed in service immediately, turn off the electric power supply.

4.Make sure that a copy of this manual will be available to the people who will operate and maintain the steamer.
