manual abstract
SHUTDOWN Turn the main power switch OFF — the boiler will automatically blow down. Leave the compartment door open to allow the inside to dry out. For an extended shutdown, turn the main power switch OFF; turn power and water supply OFF. COOKING HINTS The steamer efficiently cooks vegetables or other foods for immediate serving. Steam cooking should be carefully time controlled. Keep hot food holding-time to a minimum to produce the most appetizing results. Prepare small batches, cook only enough to start serving, then cook additional amounts to meet demand. Preparation Prepare vegetables, fruits, meats, seafood and poultry normally by cleaning, separating, cutting, removing stems, etc. Cook root vegetables in a perforated pan. Other vegetables may be cooked in a perforated pan unless juices are being saved. Liquids can be collected in a solid 12" x 20" pan placed under a perforated pan. Perforated pans are used for frankfurters, wieners and similar items when juices do not need to be preserved. Solid pans are good for cooking puddings, rice, and hot breakfast cereals. Vegetables and fruits are cooked in solid pans in their own juice. Meats and poultry are cooked in solid pans to preserve their juice or retain broth. Canned foods can be heated in their opened cans (cans placed in 12" x 20" solid pans) or the contents may be poured into solid pans. DO NOT place unopened cans in the steamer. Frozen Food Items Separate frozen foods into smaller pieces to allow more efficient cooking. Use a pan cover for precooked frozen dishes that cannot be cooked in the covered containers in which they are packed if they require more than 15 minutes of cooking time. When a cover is used, approximately one-third additional cooking time is necessary. Cooking time for frozen foods depends on the amount of defrosting required. If time permits, allow frozen foods to partially thaw overnight in a refrigerator. This will reduce their cooking time. Acceptable Pan Sizes The steamer accommodates combinations of 12 x 20" pans, solid or perforated.

The boiler drains automatically for approximately 4 – 6 minutes after the main power switch is turned OFF. CLEANING 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 door gasket, rinse with warm clear water, and wipe 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 doo...
