5.0 - Operation
WARNING
ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE TRAINED IN SAFE AND CORRECT OPERATING PROCEDURES.
5.1 Controls
Operator controls are on the front right of the unit. The control panel has the following touch pads and indicator lights. (Your controls may have either words or the symbols shown below):
The ON/OFF touch pad gets the HyPerSteam ready for use, or shuts it off.
The READY indicator light shows that the steam generator is at standby temperature and the cavity is hot enough to begin steaming.
The CLEANING indicator lights when the unit is operating in the cleaning mode.
The SERVICE indicator light shows when the water level probes have stopped working, and need to be cleaned (normally an indication of lime deposits).
When one probe is not working, the SERVICE light flashes briefly every few seconds. When both probes fail, the light will flash continuously and the beeper will sound.
The HI TEMP indicator light comes on when the steam generator is too hot.
The unit will automatically shut off, and cannot be turned on again until it has been serviced.
The TIMING indicator light stays on when the timer is running.
The CLEAN touch pad is used to start the automatic 50 minute cleaning cycle.
The timer is used in three ways:
1In the OFF position the steam generator stays at a low boil or “holding” temperature.
2When a cook time is set, the unit steams until the timer reaches OFF. The steaming stops, a red light comes on and a beeper sounds.
3With the timer turned to the ON position, the unit steams continuously. The green light stays lit. The steamer will not time down.
5.2 Operating Procedure
5.2.1Press the ON switch/pad for the steamer. The steam generator will fill, and heat until the READY light comes on. (About 10 minutes.)
5.2.2Load food into pans in uniform layers. Pans should be filled to about the same levels, and be even on top. The maximum allowable weight of food is 9.8 kilograms (21.6 lbs.) per pan.
5.2.3Open the door and slide the pans onto the supports. If you will only be steaming one pan, put it in the middle position.
5.2.4Close the door. With the READY indicator lit, take one of the following steps:
•If you want to steam the food for a certain length of time, set the timer for that period. The timer will automatically run the steamer for the set time and then turn it off. A red light will come on and a beeper will sound. Steam production stops.
•To steam continuously, turn the timer to the manual ON position. A green light will come on. The unit will continue steaming until you stop it by turning the timer to OFF. When steaming continuously YOU MUST CONTROL STEAMING TIME.
WARNING
WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY FROM THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE UNIT. THE STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.
