Electric Steamer User Manual

26
Remove the “Y” strainer upstream of the drain solenoid
valve by unscrewing the cap on the section protruding
down towards the floor. Remove the screen and any
foreign particles. Rinse the screen thoroughly and
replace. Replace cap.
The pressure regulating valve strainer will become
clogged if dirty steam lines are connected to direct
steam models. Remove the hex nut on the bottom of
the pressure regulating valve to clean the strainer and
valve seat.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: THE STEAMER AND ITS PARTS ARE
HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING
OR SERVICING THE STEAMER. THE COOKING
COMPARTMENTS CONTAIN LIVE STEAM. STAY
CLEAR WHILE OPENING EACH DOOR.
DOOR GASKET
If door gasket is nicked or cut or at the end of its useful
life, it must be replaced. Damage to the gasket
sealing surface will cause steam leakage.
However, if a leak occurs in one corner only and
gasket appears serviceable, turn the stainless steel
screw on the gasket plate immediately adjacent to the
leaking corner one-half turn counterclockwise. Do
not attempt excessive turning of screws since
misalignment of door is likely.
BOILER BLOWDOWN VALVE
Turn the steamer off at least once daily and blow
down the boiler in order to remove sediments, scalants
and lime build-up in the boiler. If the steamer is
supplied with a manual valve, open it daily when the
steamer is shut down. The manual blowdown valve is
located on the bottom front of the cabinet base.
DESCALER
Inspect the descaler every three months. Replace it
when it has shrunk to one-half its original size. Local
water conditions generally determine the life of the
descaler.
LEVEL SENSING PROBES
Inspect level sensing probes for lime build-up once a
month. Clean probes if needed.
WATER LEVEL GAUGE ASSEMBLY
Check sight glass assembly daily. Extreme murkiness
indicates the generator should be blown down and/or
cleaned, and is an indication of bad water conditions.
The correct water level is a point one-half of the height
of the glass.
FLUE (GAS BASE GENERATOR ONLY)
Annually check the flue when cool to be sure it is free
of obstructions.
Contact your Vulcan-Hart service representative for
any other maintenance required.
