COLD WATER CONDENSER

The steamer is equipped with a cold water condenser in the rear of the cooking chamber

which helps to condense the steam prior to discharge into drain. The steamer freely

vents itself by the negative pressure created by the condensate water drainage. This

negative pressure prevents steam leakage around the door gasket and helps draw the

steam through the cooking compartment. Steam leakage at the door may indicate a

plugged or improperly installed drain.

WATER CONDITIONING

It is important that the water supply connected to this steamer be softened to no more

than 2.0 grains of hardness and have a pH of 6 to 7.5. This degree of hardness can be

easily obtained with the use of a properly maintained water softener. The use of a water

meter will determine the water consumption and when the water softener needs

regeneration or recharging. Failure to comply with these water condition standards may

void the warranty.

Untreated water contains scale producing minerals which can precipitate onto the

surfaces in the boiler. Due to the temperatures in the boiler, the minerals can bake onto

the surfaces and components. This can result in early component failure and reduced

product life. Water level probes become coated with scale. Scale will bridge across the

probe insulator from the metal extension which senses the water level in the boiler shell.

Once this scale becomes wet, the water level control is unable to maintain the proper

water level in the boiler.

STRAINERS and FILTERS will NOT remove minerals from the water.
