1. With both timer knobs at the off position, open
the compartment doors and observe that no
steam has entered the cooking compartments,
then close the doors.
2. Set both timer knobs at 2 minutes. The ready
lights will go off, the cooking lights will come
on, and steam will begin to enter the
compartments.
3. After one minute, open each door and observe
that steam has ceased to enter each
compartment, cooking lights go back to ready,
and one minute is remaining on each cook
timer.
4. Close doors and steam generation and cook
timing will resume. Observe the floor drain to
ensure that live steam from compartments is
being cooled by cold water from the cold water
condenser solenoid valve.
5. When timer knobs reach "0", buzzers will
sound, steam generation will cease, cooking
lights will go off and ready lights will come on.
To silence buzzers, turn timer knobs to off
position.
6. During idle time or a cooking cycle, the heating
system will cycle on and off as necessary to
maintain steam pressure in the boiler.
7. Turn power switch off to remove power from
the steamer.
A. Boiler blowdown starts.

pressures.
1. Turn power switch OFF.
2. Boiler blowdown sequence starts.
A. The blowdown/drain solenoid valve will be
de-energized and the boiler will begin to
drain.
B. The cold water condenser solenoid will
operate, as needed, to condense steam
and to cool the water going into the drain.
