Repair manual

7 Shelves, drain screens, and pan slides are stainless steel, and car be washed safely in a mechanical dishwasher.
8. Exterior Care: Allow steamer to cool before washing. Use the same cleaners and cleaning procedures as for other kitchen
surfaces of stainless steel and aluminum. Mild soapy water, with a clear water rinse, is recommended. Do not allow water to
run into electrical controls. Always turn off equipment power before using water to wash equipment.
9 Compartment Door Care:
3 When doors are closed for preheating or cooking, turn bar handle just enough to stop steam leakage. Over-tightening
shortens gasket life.
a. When doors are open or unlatched, do not turn bar handle
b. Always leave compartment doors ajar when not in use, to extend gasket Iife and to prevent gaskets from adhering to the
steamer. Unnecessary compression of a gasket shorten its life.
c Keep bar handle screws clean. Lubricate frequently but not excessively.
d. Door gaskets provide many months of service when care is taken to operate doors properly. When a gasket finally wears
and does not maintain an effective seal, it must be replaced. Door gaskets can be replaced easily without special tools or
cement, and the steamer may be used immediately afterwards. Remove the old gasket and clean the channel, being careful
not to damage the channel. The new gasket can then be pressed into place. Insert the gasket in the comers of the channel
first, adjusting the slack evenly between the comers. Then work from the corners to the center. Ridges hold the gasket
firmly. The gasket is designed to be oversize, so once it is compressed into the door's channel, it remains firmly in place.
PRESSURE STEAMER SAFETY
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Being the owner of a steamer carries with it the responsibility for keeping it in as safe a condition as when it was shipped from the
factory. Safe steamer operation dictates that every pressure steamer must have the following safety inspection at least every 12
months.
1 Steam Valve Linkages
Have a qualified serviceman examine the steam valve linkages which are attached to the inlet and exhaust valves' operating
handles on the left side of the steamer. This pivoted linkage, which is attached to both the steam inlet valve and the steam
exhaust valve, must prevent the door's latch from disengaging from its catch when the steamer compartment is pressurized. It is
important that the linkage operates as described so that the steamer door cannot be opened when the compartment is
pressurized.
It is also important that when the steam valve is closed, the exhaust valve should open. The proper operation of the steam inlet
valve and the steam exhaust valve should be confirmed and observed white the steam is on.
2. Pressure Gauge Check each pressure gauge. Gauge pointer must return to zero when the steam generator is shut down. Look
for signs of water, rust, corrosion, or scale, inside the pressure gauge A faulty pressure gauge should be replaced immediately
3. Door Gaskets
Inspect and replace compartment door gaskets once a year, or sooner if they are torn or hardened. The use of a hardened gasket
produces undue stress in the parts which comprise the door enclosure and may result in breakage and injury.
4. Compartment Thermostatic Trap
Observe compartment thermostatic traps for proper operation. A good compartment trap, at start-up of a cooking cycle, is
normally open and releases air and wet steam briskly for a few minutes, then holds steam within compartment If brisk venting
doesn't begin immediately at start-up, or if brisk venting continues without stopping, and the compartment trap is over a year
old, it should be cleaned, or a new one installed. Refer to data sheet 260-LH for details.
5. Compartment Steam Exhaust Valves and Drain Valves
Make sure that the compartment steam exhaust valves, and the drain lines attached to them, are free of food build-up internally
and are venting freely to the atmosphere. If drain lines from other steam-consuming equipment. have been connected to the
drain line from the steamer, the other drain lines should be disconnected. Never operate a compartment without the drain screen
cover in place.
6. Refer to separate data sheets for steam generator operation, maintenance, and safety procedures.
WARNING
Service of steam cooking equipment should only be performed by a trained and experienced service technician,
thoroughly familiar with servicing steam equipment. No work should be performed on the steamer while it is
pressurized or hot Be sure all energy sources are shut off before the start of any work When maintenance or repairs
are required, contact a local food service equipment service agency, or call the factory, or a factory representative, for
the name and address of one in your area.
