GENERAL

INTRODUCTION

This manual is applicable to the models and ML numbers listed on the cover page. Procedures apply to all models unless specified otherwise.

BASIC Steamers

Basic model steamers use traditional steam cooking components and methods.

PROFESSIONAL Steamers

Professional model steamers use traditional steam cooking components and methods. This model adds a super-heater element to decrease cooking times and increase temperatures.

LWE Steamers

Low Water and Energy (LWE) steamers provide energy and water saving steam generation that meets

ENERGY STAR® performance levels. The steamers feature an electronic PID controller and solid state contactor. These work together to pulse power to the heating elements during a cook cycle, reducing the amount of electrical energy and water consumed.

Steam Cooking

Atmospheric steamers offer an efficient way to produce many foods in either small portions or larger batches. Atmospheric convection steam cooking steam cooks fresh foods or defrosts and steam cooks frozen foods. This provides maximum color, flavor and nutritional value with the least expenditure of energy and labor. The atmospheric steaming compartment allows the operator to open and close the door anytime during a cooking cycle. The generator element will shut off when the door is opened then re-start when the door is closed.

WATER SPECIFICATIONS - ALL MODELS

Water Supply Requirements

Supply pressure should be20-60 psig
In line strainer for supply line (Supplied)
Hardness*less than 3 grains
Silicaless than 13 ppm
Total chlorineless than 0.1 ppm
PH range 7 to 8
Undissolved solids less than 5 microns
NOTE: *17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness.

NOTICE

Chlorine and chloramine above levels of 0.1 ppm will cause permanent damage to the steam generator and cooking compartment. Contact water filter system manufacturer to ensure this requirement is met

Hardness above 4 grains/gal should be treated by water conditioner, water softener, or in-line treatment.

Water Conditioning

It is recommended that a local water treatment specialist be consulted before the installation of any steam generating equipment.

Furnishing the steam generator with properly conditioned water to reduce scale formation is important. Scale formation will reduce steam output, cause premature component failure, and shorten equipment life. Most water supplies contain scale producing minerals such as calcium and magnesium. As steam is generated, the minerals remain and dissolve into the remaining water. As the concentration of these minerals increases past a certain point, they precipitate from the water and coat the inside of the tank, heating elements, thermostat bulbs and water level probes. Because of the high temperature of these surfaces, the precipitated minerals bake onto them and become very difficult to remove.

This phenomenon causes several problems:

  1. Reduces the heat transfer efficiency of the heaters.
  2. Causes premature failure of the heaters.
  3. Water level probes will give false readings.
  4. Thermostat bulbs will sense temperature incorrectly.

These problems are common to any manufacturer's steamer regardless of design, but they can all be prevented by furnishing the steam generator tank with properly conditioned water.

Other chemical properties in water supplies can also affect good steam generation and vary from within each state and locality. The water level probes in the steam generator tank use ions in the water to detect the water level. DO NOT use fully demineralized or deionized water since it is non-conductive and the water level cannot be detected.

NOTE: The use of strainers or filters will not remove minerals from the water.

Steamers that operate over a long period of time without the benefit of properly conditioned water, which have developed a heavy scale build up, should be cleaned before connecting to a conditioned water supply.

If test points are not easily accessible, disconnect power and follow Lockout/Tagout procedures, attach test equipment and reapply power to test.

  1. Check voltage across heating element wires at limiting (1/4CON) and regulating (2/5CON) contactor load terminals and verify against data plate voltage as outlined in steps below. See WIRING DIAGRAMS for connections.

A. Voltage should be measured after PID controller has energized solid state contactor (3/6CON) during initial heat up (longest ON time); or during temperature recovery after door has been opened to allow cooking compartment to cool down then closed (timer must be on).
B. When temperature in the sensor tube (vent) reaches approximately 180° F, the PID controller will signal the solid state contactor (3/6CON) to begin pulsing power to the heating elements to reduce energy use. If voltage is measured during the pulsing state, the meter readings will not be steady for a good reading.

  1. If voltage is correct, check current draw Step 3. If voltage is not correct, check:

A. Voltage supply to steamer at terminal block.
B. Fuses or breakers blown.
C. Power to contactor coils (limiting 1/4CON) (regulating 2/5CON).
D. Limiting (1/4CON) or regulating (2/5CON) contactors not pulling in (mechanical failure).

E. Solid state contactor (3/6CON) not energized by PID controller to provide power to the load contacts on regulating contactor (2/5CON).

1) Perform PID CONTROLLER TEST - LWE MODEL.
2) Check control signal wiring between PID controller and solid state contactor (3/6CON);
3) Check ground wire is connected to solid state contactor (3/6CON). See WIRING DIAGRAMS for connections.

NOTE: LED will be constantly lit during initial heat up and temperature recovery after door has been opened to allow cooking compartment cool down then closed (timer must be on and door closed). LED will blink to indicate solid state contactor (3/6CON) is pulsing power to the load contacts on regulating contactor (2/5CON).

4) Verify LED (green) on solid state contactor (3/6CON) is lit during heating.

NOTE: 208V: four elements used. 240V: three elements used. 480V: machines are connected in Wye configuration for 277V across each element.

  1. Use a clamp on ammeter to check current draw (amps) through heating element lead wires. Compare them to values listed in table below.

A. Full load amps should be measured when PID controller has energized solid state contactor (3/6CON) during initial heat up (longest ON time); or during temperature recovery after door has been opened to allow cooking compartment cool down then closed (timer must be on).

B. When temperature in the sensor tube (vent) reaches approximately 180° F, the PID controller will signal the solid state contactor (3/6CON) to begin pulsing power to the heating elements to reduce energy use. If current draw is measured during the pulsing state, the meter readings will not be steady for a good reading.

  1. If current is correct, then heating element is ok. If current is not correct, check element resistance.

A. Disconnect power to machine.
B. Remove one lead wire of each heating element from the regulating contactor (2/5CON) (T1/4, T2/5, T3/6).

NOTE: See WIRING DIAGRAMS for connections.

C. Use a VOM to check individual element resistance between heating element lead wire and load terminal on limiting contactor (1/3CON).
D. Compare resistance readings to the values in table below.

NOTE: Values in table are nominal. Tolerance is ±10 %.

  1. If resistance readings are not correct, replace HEATING ELEMENT.
