Electric Cabinet Base Convection Steamer Operation
OPERATION
Boiler Section
Electrically powered steam generators are available with standard boiler controls or ASME CSD-1 compliant controls.
In addition to the ON/OFF power switch and indicator pilot light or the standard controls, the CSD-1 controls have in
addition four more indicator pilot lights and a “Reset” switch. Follow the appropriate instructions for each.
Start-up Procedure, Standard Controls
1. Turn on water and power supply to appliance.
2. Close the manual blowdown valve if the units is not equipped with the optional automatic blowdown valve.
3. Open door of cabinet and turn on Power Switch. Pilot light will come ON and water will begin to enter boiler.
Once water level has reached the proper operating level as indicated on water gauge glass the heating elements
will be energized and heat the water. When steam pressure has reached 11 psi the elements will de-energize
and cycle on and o between 9 - 11 psi. The boiler is now ready for steam generation.
Start-up Procedure, CSD-1 Controls
1. Turn on water and power supply to appliance.
2. Close the manual blowdown valve if the units is not equipped with the optional automatic blowdown valve.
3. Open cabinet door and turn “ON” power switch.
The green pilot light will come “ON.” Water will begin to enter the boiler. When enough water has entered the
boiler the (red) “Low Water” pilot will come on for approximately 10 seconds and then the (amber)”Standby” pilot
light will come.
4. Press the “Reset” switch to begin boiler operation.
The “Standby” pilot light will go o and the boiler will begin operation. When steam pressure has reached 11 psi the
elements will de-energize and cycle on and o between 9 - 11 psi. The boiler is now ready for steam generation.
Normal Boiler Operating Cycle
Water Fill Cycle
On the initial filling of the boiler, units equipped with CSD-1 controls require that the “Reset” switch be pressed to
initialize the safety lockout circuit. Once the water in the boiler has reached proper level, the level control will stop
the flow of water to the boiler. As water is consumed in the production of steam, the level control will supply and
maintain safe water level in the boiler.
Firing Cycle
The elements are operated by pressure sensing devices. On initial operation, the boiler should reach 11 psi in
approximately 15 minutes. At this point the operating pressure switch will open, de-energizing the elements. When
the pressure drops to 9.0 psi, the pressure switch closes, energizing the elements.
Condensing Drain, (Optional)
A thermostat is located in the drain assembly and is activated by the temperature of steam. The thermostat
operates the cooling solenoid, supplying water to the drain to condense the steam.
Automatic Blowdown Valve, (Optional)
If the unit has an automatic blowdown valve, it is activated when the main power switch is turned “ON”. The boiler
will drain when the main power switch is turned “OFF.”
