CHAPTER 5 COOKING WITH THE SteamChef DO NOT BREATHE STEAM, HOT AIR OR CONDENSATE DEATH OR INJURY WILL RESULT. Hot Air, Steam, and Condensate will cause Burns and Scalds. To help prevent burns and scalds when opening steamer doors: always stand to the hinge side and back from the doors, slowly open the door, and wait for the steam and heat to dissipate before carefully opening the door. Some foods drip juices. Use a solid catch pan under perforated pans when cooking food that drips juices.
A. Operating and Cooking Procedure – All Models NOTE: The 22CET has an Energy/Water Saver Feature that automatically lowers the cooking compartment temperature to the Standby temperature if the steamer is left in Manual Mode (timer models) or is left ON (ON/OFF models) for more than 60 minutes without opening the door. Also, the condenser water does not flow until the cooking compartment reaches the minimum cooking temperature to reduce steam loss and condenser water use.
1. The control panel settings must be: • The ON/OFF Lever is in the ON (down) position and the Power indicator light is lit. The TIMED/MANUAL selector switch is in the MANUAL position. The steaming cycle starts as soon as the switch is moved to MANUAL. 2. To stop steaming in Manual Mode: set the selector switch to the TIMED position and make sure that the Timer is set to zero. The burner turns off, and steam production in the cooking compartment gradually stops. • D.
