2. Operating and Cooking Procedure – Manual Mode
Manual mode allows the operator to personally control the cooking functions. The operator starts and
stops the steaming operations, and sets the cooking time including time for cooking compartment and
food heat-up time. Use the manual-cooking mode for:
x
A continuous supply of steam.
x
Maintaining the compartment temperature between cooking batches.

Remember that this unit is equipped with an energy saving feature. This automatically drops the
compartment into the standby heat mode, after an hour of operating in the manual mode without
interruption (such as opening the door). If Cooking times longer than the 60 minutes are desired, it
will be necessary to reset this timer circuit. To reset the timer without interrupting the continuous
cooking of the unit either quickly open and close the cooking compartment door, or switch the
TIMED/MANUAL switch to timed and back to manual.
Manual Cooking Procedure
Follow this procedure when cooking with the steamer in manual mode.
WARNING
SEVERE BURNS may result from exposure to steam.
Do not open the steamer door before steam generation stops.
Stand back when opening the compartment door. Open the
door slightly to allow steam to vent before looking or reaching
into cooking compartment. Do not reach into cooking
compartment until the steam has cleared.
Do not reach into steamer or handle hot items without wearing
heatproof gloves. Wet or damp gloves conduct heat, and may cause
burns when touching hot items.
WARNING
Even though the heating elements are de-energized as soon as a door is opened, it
may take up to a minute for production of steam to end and residual steam in the
system to clear from the cooking compartment. To avoid possible injury always wait
until this residual steam has cleared before reaching into the cooking compartment.
Never operate a SteamChef¥ 3 Steamer without the KleanShield¥ properly
installed in the bottom of the water reservoir or the fan guard installed over the fan.
