CHAPTER 2 – OPERATION
A. GENERAL OPERATION
1. Main External Power Switch
Usually the steamers main external power switch is left ON. If
the main power switch was left in the OFF position, turn it ON
as follows.
a. Turn the ON/OFF lever/switch to the OFF position.
b. The control settings are not important in this
procedure. The control panel circuits are not powered
while the ON/OFF lever/switch is set to OFF.
c. Refer to the main power switch in Figure 2-1, and turn
on electric power to the steamer.
2. Door Interlock Switch
The steamer compartment of the SteamChef¥ 3 is equipped with an automatic steam cutoff switch, which
turns OFF the production of steam and shuts down the convection fan and condenser whenever the door to
the compartment is opened. NOTE: That even though the continued production of additional heat ends as
soon as the door is opened, it may take up to a minute for residual heat in the system to stop producing
steam in the cooking compartment and for the fan to stop rotating. To avoid possible injury always wait until
this residual steam has cleared and the convection fan has stopped rotating before reaching into the
cooking compartment. Remember the SteamChef¥ 3 is always heating in either the standby heat
mode or steam cooking mode, whenever the main power switch is in the ON position and the
steamer door is closed.
3. KleanShield¥
This unit is equipped with the KleanShield¥ for improved maintenance, cooking and safety performance in
the steam cooking of food. The KleanShield¥ (See Figure 2-2) is located in the bottom of the water
reservoir of Cleveland Range SteamChef¥ Cookers and provides the following benefits to the
owner/operator:
x By collecting all of the drippings of food being
cooked from entering and contaminating the
reservoir water.
x By keeping the water cleaner, less maintenance is
needed in the daily operation and cleaning of the
interior of the steamer.
x It directs the steam being produced around the sides
of the pans to insure more even distribution of the
steam.
x It prevents the operator from accidentally coming in
contact with the reservoir water during the placing or
removal and food from the cooking compartment.
x It also prevents spilled food from pans from falling directly into the reservoir and splashing out
scalding water.
x The KleanShield¥ is removable and dishwasher safe allowing for easy cleaning.
Please read the following Important Use and care Instructions for the KleanShield¥
a. Never operate a SteamChef¥ Steamer without a properly installed KleanShield¥.
b. To install the KleanShield¥, the side pan racks must first be removed from the steamer.
