Operation
B. Operating Procedure
1. Turn on the unit’s water supply.
2. Turn on electrical power to the unit.
3. Turn on the gas supply to the unit, and turn on the gas valve. Turn the
control knob on the gas valve to the “ON” position.
NOTE: The “ignition trial” period runs for approximately 90 seconds after
the on/off switch is turned ON. This means that if the pilot light does not
light within the “trial” period, the ignition system will automatically stop the
gas flow and terminate the ignition trial. If ignition is terminated, turn the
switch off and then “ON” again to repeat the trial. Normally, the pilot should
light within five seconds of turning on the unit.
a. Turn the on/off switch on the front of the cabinet to “ON.”
1) The amber light will come on.
2) The boiler drain valve will close and the unit will fill with water.
3) When the water reaches the “mid” probe, the red RESET light will
come on.
4) Press the start switch.
5) The green light in the switch will come on, the RESET light will go off,
and the main burner will light.
6) When the water level reaches the “hi” probe, the water supply to the
boiler will shut off.
b. After about 15 minutes, the pressure gauge will indicate that the pressure
is rising. When it reaches 9-1/2 PSI, the main burner will shut off.
Thereafter, the burner will periodically relight to maintain the pressure at
9-1/2 PSI. The pilot light should stay lit when the burner is off.
c. To shut down the unit, turn the on/off switch to OFF. The unit will drain
automatically after it has cooled to about 130ºF. The unit turns off the pilot
light when the on/off switch is turned to OFF.
4. Load food into pans so that it is in uniform layers. For best results, pans
should be filled to about the same levels, and should be even on top.
5. Open the door and slide the pans onto the supports. If you will only be
steaming one pan, put it in the middle rack position.
6. Close the door.
NOTE: The door must be closed before steam will enter the cavity. If the
door is opened when the timer is on, the steam will stop.
