Introduction SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer INTRODUCTION Product Description Congratulations on purchasing the Market Forge Sirius II. The Sirius II is a single compartment countertop or two compartment floor model steamer featuring pressureless steam cooking, a circulating fan inside the cooking chamber to speed cooking and an automatic preheated waterfill mechanism. Sirius II also features a clean water reservoir system.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Introduction Time Delay Relay: The steamer has two timers built into the electrical system to shut down should the water level system fail. When the steamer is first turned on and the reservoir is empty two countdown timers will begin to count. If it takes longer than 60 seconds for the level of the water to come into contact with the lower water sensor probe, the burner and the heating light will turn off.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Installation INstallation Delivery and Inspection Damage Inspection: Reporting shipping damage is the responsibility of the purchaser. Do not discard packaging if filing a freight damage claim. Upon receipt of steamer immediately inspect the exterior of packaging for damage. Remove wrapping. Inspect the exterior of the Sirius II for visible shipping damage. Unpacking / Removal from Pallet: To remove the steamer from the pallet, carefully cut the strapping.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Installation Venting The Sirius II must be installed in an adequately ventilated area under a properly designed exhaust hood. Failure to do so could result in component failure and the introduction of unwanted flue gasses into the work area. A properly designed hood system is one that exhausts 100% of grease-laden vapor and flue products and replenishes at least 80% of the air it exhausts.
Installation SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Recommended Water Quality: Refer to Service Connections in this Manual for the recommended water quality criteria. NOTICE Water level probes will not sense water level if steamer is connected to a de-ionized water or reverse osmosis system. Rear Drain: Make sure the 1” rear drain is plumbed to a floor trough or air gap drain. Customer supplies plumbing. However, one 90° elbow is shipped with the steamer to be used as needed.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Installation Startup Procedure 1. Make sure water line is flushed prior to connecting steamer. 2. Make sure water is connected and supplied to the steamer. 3. Make sure appropriate gas is connected and supplied to the steamer. 4. Using a soft sponge and mild detergent, wipe out the interior of the cooking chamber to remove shipping debris prior to use. Rinse with clean water.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Operation OPERATION Operating Information Electrical Connection: Make sure unit is plugged into a proper receptacle or wired properly and the breaker for the circuit is on. Water Connection: Make sure the steamer is properly connected to a water source. Do not connect the unit to de-ionized water; the water probes will not sense the water level. Make sure the water lines are open.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Operation NOTICE If the door is open, nothing will happen. Close the door and the steamer will turn on and begin warming up. Door Operation: The door must be closed at all times while cooking. If the door is opened during cooking, the burner will shut down and the amber HEAT light will go off until the door is closed. You may open the door at any time to check the progress of cooking, stir product and add or remove cooking pans.
Operation SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Blanching Many foods can be blanched in atmospheric steam before being finished in ovens, fryers, or on grills and griddles. This reduces total cooking time, helps ensure complete cooking and a moist product. Potatoes, poultry and seafood are excellent examples. Blanching before frying reduces grease absorption by food products. Tips On Pan Use • For faster cook times, 2 1/2” deep perforated pans are recommended.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Operation Warnings & Cautions Warnings • Failure to keep the overflow outlets clear and unobstructed may result in hot water flowing out the door of the steamer. A blocked overflow and drain could allow water to flow to the countertop or floor, which can cause slippery conditions. Modifying the steamer to operate without the overflow standpipe could cause dangerous situations and will void the warranty.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Maintenance Maintenance Cleaning Guidelines Daily Cleaning Once the power is off and the reservoir has been drained, a simple cleaning process should be followed: WARNING The cooking chamber is designed to retain heat. It may still be hot to the touch when cleaning. Wear protective gloves, or wait for the surface to cool before cleaning. Do not add cold water to a hot, empty cooking chamber until it has cooled down, or damage may result. 1.
SIRIUS II - Gas Boilerless Convection Steamer Maintenance Weekly Cleaning In addition to the daily cleaning it is necessary to clean the air intakes on a weekly basis.
