1. Maintenance Records
Make a file solely for maintenance and repair records. Keep a written record of daily, weekly, monthly, and
yearly maintenance. These records will protect warranty coverage, help personnel to know when to perform
various maintenance procedures, help keep the SteamChef¥ 3 cooking properly and assist service
personnel.
2. Daily Maintenance
a. Checking and Changing the Water
When using the SteamChef¥ 3 frequently check the water, especially if cooking with perforated
pans. Although, most food drippings will be caught by the KleanShield¥, the water may still become
soiled from occasional spilled food that falls over the edge of pans or when removing and loading
food into the steamer. Replace the water as outlined below whenever the water becomes cloudy or
heavily contaminated with food particles. At the very least CHANGE THE WATER IN THE
STEAMCHEF¥ 3 AT LEAST EVERY DAY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN FOOD QUALITY AND
KEEP THE STEAMER SANITARY.
Note: It may be necessary to change the water several times a shift, especially if cooking strong
flavored foods or with perforated pans.
1) Open the steamer door and allow steamer to cool.
2) Turn the ON/OFF lever counter-clockwise (up) so that the white reference marker on the
lever is pointing directly left to turn the power OFF, deenergize all controls and drain the
steamer.
3) Remove the KleanShield¥. Remove any food particles and rinse the KleanShield¥ with clean
water.
4) Remove any spilled food from inside compartment and rinse any residue from the drain valve
and the KleanShield¥ drain.
5) Replace the KleanShield¥ (see Chapter 2, Section A, Part 3).
6) 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. The steamer will automatically begin
filling with water to the normal operating level.
7) Close the door. The “SureCook” indicator will light (timer models only), and the steamer will
begin to automatically heat the water supply to the standby cooking temperature.
8) When the “SureCook” indicator turns OFF (timer models only) the Steamer is now ready to
begin cooking.
b. Cleaning the Steamer
Clean interior and exterior of the steamer according to the shutdown instructions in Chapter 2, Part
D at least once per day if not at the end of each shift.
