The Steam Tech Plus utilizes a unique STEAM
DEMAND feature. This feature allows the Steam Tech
Plus to operate at extremely high cooking efficiencies.
The Steam Demand system creates only the amount of
steam as will be absorbed by thefood being cooked,
no more and no less. No excess steam is created,
therefore, nothing is lost down the drain.
To begin operation, the POWER switch is
pressed into the ON position, illuminating the power
light. This opens the water feed solenoid valves, to
both the steam generator and tempering tank. Once
the appropriate water level has been reached, the
burner is ignited. When the water temperature in the
steam generator has reached 193°F, the green READY
light, is illuminated, indicating that the unit isnowready
to make steam and all controls are functional.
A steaming mode is selected with the MODE
SELECT switch. After selecting a steaming mode, the
TIMER knob must be set to the desired cooking time to
activate the main burner and begin making steam.
In the STEAM mode, the unit will create steam
for the duration of time you have set. Once the timer
reaches the end of its cycle (0 minutes), the unit will
stop making steam, and the buzzer will sound. The
buzzer is silenced by returning the timer knob to the
OFF position. The generator will continue to idle at
193°F.
In the STEAM & HOLD mode, the unit will create
steam for the duration of time you have set. Once the
timer reaches the end of its cycle (0minutes), the unit
will stop making steam and go into the HOLD mode,
illuminating the amber hold light. When in the HOLD
mode, the auxiliary thermostatically controlled electric
strip heater is activated. The strip heater is mounted
onto the outside of the cooking compartment and will
maintain a safe internal holding temperature. The unit
will now act as a holding cabinet until you call for steam
again. During this time, the generator will continue to
idle at 193°F.
The CONSTANT STEAM button overrides the
MODE SELECT switch and the TIMER. When the
button is depressed, the green constant steam light is
illuminated. In this mode, the generator will constantly
supply steam, as controlled by the Steam Demand
System, regardless of the MODE SELECT switch and
TIMER setting, until the CONSTANT STEAM button is
pressed again. While the CONSTANT STEAM button is
depressed, the TIMER may be used as an alarm only,
as it will have no effect on the creation of steam. To
exit the constant steam mode, the CONSTANT STEAM
button must be pressed again. This will cause the
green constant steam light to go off. The generator will
now idle at 193°F, ready to make steam.
All drainage is routed through the common
tempering tank, which regulates the drain water
temperature. This tank cools the drain water to 130°F
before discharging it down the main drain line.
