Shutdown
1. Turn the boiler power switch to the OFF position
to extinguish the pilot light.
2. To make the pilot light and main burners
inoperable, turn the gas combination control valve
clockwise until it stops (OFF position).
3. To completely shut off pilot light and main burners,
close the main gas valve.
DAILY STARTING PROCEDURE
1. If boiler has manual blowdown drain valve, close
it.
2. On gas powered generators, ensure that pilot
burner flame is ON. If flame is out, a 5-minute
period of complete shutoff of gas supply is required
before relighting.
3. Turn power switch ON.
4. Wait 20 minutes before starting cooking operation.
5. This step is required only when the cooking
chamber is cold or when cooker is first used for
the day. When READY light is on, preheat cooking
compartment(s) for 1 minute. Turn timer knob to
“1”. READY light will go off and COOKING light
will come on. Make sure door is closed. When
buzzer sounds, open and close door to silence
buzzer.
6. With compartment(s) preheated and READY light
on, place pans of food into cooking compartment
and shut door. Refer to COOKING CHART in this
manual and set desired cooking time.
7. Turn timer knob to desired cooking time. Cooking
cycle will begin.
Cooking cycle may be interrupted at any time by
opening door and resumed again by closing door.
8. The buzzer will sound when the cooking cycle ends
and no more steam is entering the cooking
compartment(s). The buzzer must be silenced by
opening the door. Remove cooked food. The
COOKING light will go off and the READY light will
come on indicating the cooker is now ready for the
next cooking cycle.
CLEANING
Never use steel wool on stainless steel surfaces.
Never apply food oils or petroleum lubricants directly
to the door gasket.
Daily
At the end of each day, or more often if necessary,
turn steamer OFF and allow compartments to cool.
Remove pans and side racks from compartments and
clean in a sink.
Remove food sediment from compartment bottoms.
Wipe all solids away from the drain opening, especially
any large particles, to prevent possible clogging of the
drain.
Clean the drain screen at least daily, or more often if
required. Remove drain screen by pulling straight
out. Clean drain screen in a sink.
Wash compartment interiors with mild detergent.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
Replace racks.
After cooking grease-producing foods, pour one-half
gallon of soapy water down the drain and rinse with
one-half gallon of hot clear water.
For maximum gasket life, wash gasket sealing surface
of compartment doors with mild detergent to remove
harmful food acids. Follow with a warm water rinse to
remove all traces of detergent. Then wipe with a soft,
dry cloth. Leave the door slightly open when not in
use.
Use a clean damp cloth to wipe down the exterior.
Polish with a soft dry cloth. Remove discolorations
with a non-abrasive cleaner.
If the water in the sight glass becomes extremely
murky, the generator should be blown down and/or
cleaned.
As Required
After a period of time, all gas burners accumulate
carbon in their ports and this restricts performance.
To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye
water for
1
⁄2 hour. Then clean gas ports with a sharp
pointed metal instrument to ensure open ports. Clean
as needed (usually about once a year will be often
enough).
