DRAINING THE BOILER
Drain the boiler after each day's use to flush out minerals and minimize scale build-up. The boiler drains
automatically for approximately 4 to 6 minutes after the main power switch is turned OFF.
ADJUSTMENT FOR HIGH ALTITUDE LOCATIONS
The steamer has been factory set so that when it is on, and during the Ready phase, it will maintain
water temperature in the steam generator tank at approximately 205°F (96°C) (just below water boiling
point). However, for high altitude locations, a Vulcan-authorized servicer must adjust the steamer to
achieve this temperature.
CLEANING
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.
At the end of each day, or between cooking cycles if necessary:
• Turn main power switch off.
• Remove pans and racks from compartment and wash in sink.
• Wash compartment interior with clean water. Never use steel wool or abrasive scouring pads
as they will scratch and ruin the general surface appearance of the steamer.
• Use warm soapy water with a cloth or sponge to clean the exposed bead of the door gasket.
Rinse with warm clear water and wipe dry with a dry cloth.
• Wipe surfaces which touch the door gasket with a cloth or sponge and warm soapy water. Rinse
with warm clear water and wipe with a dry cloth.
CAUTION: Do not allow the door gasket to come in contact with food oils, petroleum solvents
or lubricants. Wipe all solids away from the drain openings in the compartments to prevent
clogging.
Keep the cooking compartment drain working freely. After cooking grease-producing foods, operate
steamer with compartments empty for 30 minutes at the end of the day; or pour
1
/2 gallon (2 liters) of
warm soapy water down the drain, followed by
1
/2 gallon of warm clear water.
Leave the door slightly open when the steamer is not in use to allow the inside to dry out.
Weekly (or as needed)
• Clean exterior with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
• Use a nonabrasive cleaner to remove discolorations.
