PROBLEM Reduced Steam flow into cooking compartment Water leaking from bottom of cabinet Steam and / or water draining around compartment door See Warning under Note #7 Water leaking from water pipes or drain lines Descale Required indicator is lit Note: Switch does not descale steamer, it is just a reminder that steamer must be descaled every 4-6 weeks ON/OFF Indicator ON but steamer does not make steam in timed mode Water is flowing out of steam ports into cooking compartment Water coming from drain ev
PROBLEM Steam flow does not stop when TIMER stops. Food takes too long to cook To verify steamer’s proper operation see note #6 Trouble Shooting Guide (Continued) POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY/REFERENCE Operating in manual mode. Switch to timed mode for timer to control steam flow. Inoperative controls inside cabinet. Turn OFF power to that compartment at ON/OFF lever/switch. See note #1.
Place a perforated steam table pan in the middle rack position in the cooking compartment.

CHAPTER 7 STEAM COOKING GUIDE A. Introduction: Steam cooking is an excellent way to prepare food. Steam provides an even, intense and penetrating heat so steam cooking is fast and convenient for large or small quantities. Food never burns, pans never boil over, and there is no lifting of water in pots or waiting for water to boil. Steam cooking saves money and time while maintaining high quality and consistency. Seafood: Steamed fish is tender, succulent, flaky and table ready in minutes.
B. SIZING UP PAN CAPACITY: 1. Serving Sizes – How Much? How Many? How to estimate portion size and number of servings from a standard steam table pan. • A 12” x 20” x 2½” solid pan will hold 7½ quarts or 240 fluid ounces.
C. CONVECTION STEAMER – SUGGESTED TIMER SETTING GUIDELINES FOR TIMER CONTROLS WITH THE COMPENSATING THERMOSTAT (see Note) Timer settings are approximate due to the differences in food quality, age, shape and the degree of doneness desired. Perforated pans are recommended. Starred items (*) must be cooked in solid pans.
Filet Mignon MEATS & POULTRY: Cook meats and poultry in nested pans. Juices can be used for gravy, sauces, beef stock and soups. Portion size, thickness, and grade should be considered when selecting a timer setting for doneness. POULTRY: Fresh Turkey, whole 6-8 min./lb. Chicken halves, 1¼ -1½lb. per half 20-24 min.
