MANUAL 1195734 REV0 (11/22/2011) 20 HEAVY DUTY STEAM
6.0 MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before
cleaning or servicing.
CAUTION: Live steam and accumulated hot water in the
compartment may be released when the door is opened.
CAUTION: The appliance and its parts are hot. Use care when
operating, cleaning and servicing the appliance.
COLD WATER CONDENSER
The steamer is equipped with a cold water condenser in the rear of the cooking chamber which
helps to condense the steam prior to discharge into the drain. The steamer freely vents itself
by the negative pressure created by the condensate water drainage. This negative pressure
prevents steam leakage around the door gasket and helps draw the steam through the cooking
compartment. Steam leakage at the door may indicate a plugged or improperly installed drain.
REMOVAL OF SCALE DEPOSITS
It is recommended that your steamer be delimed once a month, or more often if necessary.
Should your steamer develop a heavy buildup of lime scale deposits, use CLR.
Before beginning deliming procedures, ensure that water is not overflowing into the cooking
compartment.
The generator tank has a removable sealed tank cover. The main purpose of the removable
cover is for inspection of the interior of the tank for lime build up and easy removal of large
pieces of lime that will not flush out drain. Should the tank cover have to be removed, check
condition of sealing gasket before replacing cover. The hold down bolts are to be tightened to
160 inch pound torque each.
NOTICE: Contact the factory, the factory representative or local
service company to perform maintenance and repairs.
