Start-up procedures for your steamer must be completed once daily prior to operation (see

steamer compartment for one minute when the steamer is to be first used for the day or
whenever the compartment is cold.

2. When buzzer sounds, set timer to the “OFF” position.
3. Steamer is now ready for cooking.
4. With cooking compartment preheated and ready pilot light on, place pans of food to be
cooked into compartment and shut door.
5. Set timer to cooking time desired. Cooking cycle may be interrupted at any time by
opening door and resumed again by closing door.

entering the compartment. Cooking pilot light will go off and ready pilot light will come
on. Buzzer must be shut off by turning the timer to its off position.
CAUTION: An obstructed drain can cause personal injury or property
damage.
Frequently check that the compartment drain and plumbing is free of all obstructions. Never
place food containers, food or food portion bags in the cooking compartment in such a way
that the compartment drain becomes obstructed.
SHUT DOWN
1. To shut down cooking compartment, set timers to their OFF position and leave doors
slightly open.

blowdown valve, it will open and drain the boiler.

Each compartment is equipped with a removable drain screen. Frequently check the drain
screen for accumulation of food particles. Should food particles accumulate against, or clog
the drain screen, remove it, clean it thoroughly and then replace it in its original position.
