C. Operating Tests (Continued from Drain Rinse Inspection)
1. At the start of this test the cooking compartment door should be open and the controls should
be set as follows:
a. The Main External Power Switch is ON.
b. The ON/OFF lever/switch is OFF (The green indicator on the control panel is NOT lit).
c. The TIMED/MANUAL switch is in the TIMED position, OR for ON/OFF models, the
ON/OFF compartment selector switch is in the OFF position.
d. Set the compartment timer to zero, by using the dial counter or keypad.
2. Set the ON/OFF lever/switch to the ON position. As the water reservoir fills, check the
following functions:
a. The green Power ON turns ON.
b. The fill valve opens and water begins to fill the compartment reservoir. Water appears in
the bottom of the water reservoir.
c. Close the compartment door to close the door interlock circuit. As the water level in the
water reservoir rises:
• Check that no water flows from the drain opening.
• Check for plumbing leaks in the control area.
3. When the water in the steam generator reaches the safe operating level (the level of the
lower probe), the burner lights, the convection fan starts, and the SteamChef begins warming
to the standby temperature.
4. Open the door: the burner and convection fan turn OFF.
a. Water continues to fill the generator and the water level in the reservoir continues to rise.
b. The water in the reservoir stops rising when water reaches the upper probe.
• If the water level continues to rise above the tip of the higher probe, see the
Operator’s Troubleshooting Guide in the Operator’s Manual.
• If the problem persists, have a qualified Cleveland Range authorized service
representative check the probe circuit.
5. Close the compartment door to close the door interlock circuit.
a. The burner and the convection fan restart and the SteamChef heats to the standby
temperature.
b. When the standby temperature is reached, the convection fan and the burner turn OFF.
c. If the SteamChef is left in Timed Mode or OFF, the burner, and convection fan cycle ON
and OFF as the SteamChef maintains the standby temperature in the cooking
compartment.
6. Set the TIMED/MANUAL switch to MANUAL or the ON/OFF to ON.
a. The cooking cycle starts.
b. Check that:
1) The burner lights.
2) The condenser water flow starts.
3) Steam production starts.
4) After a few seconds, a stream of water flows from the drain.
5) After a few minutes the compartment reaches maximum cooking temperature.
6) The burner, condenser water, and convection fan remain ON as long as the
SteamChef remains in Manual Mode for Timer models or ON for ON/OFF models.
7) In Manual Mode, (or ON for ON/OFF models), the SteamChef continues to operate at
the cooking temperature for 60 minutes.
8) No steam leaks around the door gasket.
