5. Power ON (Auto Water Fill/Automatic Preheat)
a. Check that the water supply valves to the unit are open.
b. Set the timed manual switch to timed (dial timer models) or set
the selector switch to OFF (ON/OFF control models).
c. Turn ON power to the steamer by turning the drain valve lever
clockwise (down) to close the drain (see Figure 2-7). The power
ON indicator will light and the unit will begin to fill automatically.
d. Close the door. Once the unit has filled to the minimal operating
level the heater will come ON, and the steamer will begin to
automatically heat the water supply to the standby cooking
temperature.
e. When the “SureCook” indicator light goes off the steamer has
completed its Preheat (this only applies for units equipped with a
timer). For ON/OFF control units it will take approximately 10 to
15 minutes for the unit to reach the standby heating temperature
depending on the wattage of the Steamer and the incoming
temperature of the water.
6. Preheating The Steamer
Preheating the steamer can help insure that the best productivity and consistent cooking is obtained. To
preheat the SteamChef¥ 3, simply turn the unit on approximately 15 minutes before you are ready to cook.
The unit will automatically go into the preheat mode and prepare the unit for cooking.
x
BEFORE PREHEATING, inspect and clean the compartment. After preheating, the compartment will
be too hot to inspect and clean safely.
7. High Limit Reset
This unit is protected by a high limit lockout, which acts to protect the unit from overheating. If the reset
light should come ON, a buzzer will sound continuously, the heating circuit of the steamer will be locked
out by the over-temperature circuit, and the steamer will not be able to be used for cooking until the unit is
reset. To reset the high limit use the following procedure:
a. If the reset indicator lights, turn OFF power to the unit at the ON/OFF lever.
b. Wait 15 minutes for the unit to cool and refill the unit with water according to the Power ON
instructions found in Chapter 2, Section A, Part 5.
c. If the condition should repeat itself see the operators troubleshooting section of this manual,
Chapter 3, Section B for further instructions.
8. Energy/ Water Saver Feature
This unit is equipped with an internal timer system, which automatically switches the unit to the standby
heat temperature if the unit is left in the Manual Mode (timer models) or the unit is left ON (ON/OFF
Control Models) for more than 60 minutes without opening the door. This feature has the following
benefits:
x It saves water by reducing steam loss and condenser water.
x By maintaining a lower temperature and not constantly producing steam, energy usage is reduced.
x Increases the steamer life.
x Because the unit automatically returns to the cooking temperature the next time the door is opened,
this feature has almost no effect on the operation of the equipment.
