WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
Our Kettles, Mixers, Skillets, and Steamers are designed for commercial kitchen environments. To ensure
optimal performance, longevity, and safety, the following conditions must be maintained:
• Humidity & Moisture: The equipment is designed to operate within standard commercial kitchen
humidity levels of 40% to 65% relative humidity. Prolonged exposure to humidity levels exceeding
65% may compromise electrical components, cause condensation-related issues, and reduce
equipment lifespan. Proper ventilation is essential to maintaining safe conditions.
• Steam, Condensate & Water Exposure: While the equipment can withstand occasional water
splashes and steam exposure, direct and prolonged contact with high-pressure steam or continuous
water spray may cause damage and void the warranty. Effective ventilation is required to manage
steam buildup.
• Ambient Temperature: The recommended operating temperature range is 13°C (55°F) to 39°C
(102°F). Exposure to temperatures beyond this range may impact performance, lead to malfunctions, or
pose safety risks.
• Ventilation Requirements: Proper ventilation must be maintained to prevent excessive heat and
humidity buildup, which can lead to overheating, reduced efficiency, and premature wear. Gas-fired
equipment must only be installed under a ventilation hood in a room with adequate makeup air. Always
consult local regulations to ensure compliance with ventilation standards.
• Water Quality: Follow Cleveland Range's water quality guidelines to ensure optimal equipment
performance. Softening hard water reduces deposits, and filtration removes corrosive elements.
Regular descaling, as recommended, prevents scale buildup. Consult a water treatment specialist and
follow local regulations for proper management.
• Installation and Preventive Maintenance: Follow Cleveland Range's installation and preventive
maintenance guidelines to ensure proper functioning and longevity of the units. Regular upkeep
prevents issues and ensures optimal performance. Failure to follow the schedule may lead to reduced
efficiency and breakdowns.
• Drainage System: Failure to follow Cleveland Range specifications may result in damage. Do not
place a drain beneath the unit, as excessive moisture can shorten the lifespan of electrical and gas
components, leading to potential malfunctions or hazards.
Failure to adhere to these conditions may result in decreased efficiency, equipment damage, or safety hazards
and may void the manufacturer’s warranty

J. Water Supply Requirements and Installation
1. Water Supply Requirements
a) Water Quality
• Unlike most steam cooking equipment, water quality can vary without major loss of performance of a
SteamChef steamer. Even hard water will not affect the operation of a SteamChef Steamer if it is
cleaned with vinegar daily.
b) Water Supply System
• A potable water supply system must be available providing a minimum dynamic pressure of 35 psi
and a maximum static pressure of 60 psi.
• If the static pressure is above 60 psi, a pressure regulator must be used and set at approximately 50

TM
drain.
6. Clean the interior of the compartment thoroughly, removing all food particles and scale from the steamer.
7. Wipe down the interior of the cooking compartment with half water and half white household vinegar solution. Use
a spray bottle of the same vinegar solution to rinse the convection fan located at the back of the cooking
compartment.
28
• When done daily, this will help prevent the buildup of calcium and other mineral deposits left over from the
boiling of water, and prevent scale buildup in the steamer, helping prevent more costly maintenance and
service on the steamer.
• Cleveland Range does not recommend the use of detergent, but if detergent has been used to clean the
inside of the steamer, be sure to rinse off the probe assembly with the vinegar solution. If detergent residue is
not completely rinsed from the probe assembly, then the residue can prevent the water level control from
operating.
8. Use a soft bristle brush to clean the water sensor, temperature probe, and fan and to remove stubborn food
particles.
9. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or steel wool.
10. Rinse the inside of the steamer compartment and drain valve thoroughly with clean water.
11. Inspect the probe assembly and clean it with a soft bristle brush or similar non-abrasive cleaning means.
12. Clean the door assembly.
a) Remove the door gasket assembly (see Figure 6-1).
b) Note the keyhole slots on the door and the retaining pins on the
gasket assembly. Grasp the gasket assembly at the sides and lift

1. Maintenance Records
Make a file for maintenance and repair records only. Keep a written record of daily, weekly, monthly, and
yearly maintenance. These records will help protect warranty coverage, help schedule maintenance
procedures, help keep the SteamChef cooking properly, and assist service personnel.
2. Daily Maintenance
a) Checking and Changing Water
When using the SteamChef Steamer frequently check the water, especially if cooking with perforated
pans. Although most food drippings will be caught by the KleanShield, the water may become dirty from
spills falling over the edge of pans when loading, cooking, and emptying the steamer. Change the water
(see below) when the water becomes cloudy or contaminated with food particles.
NOTICE
Change the water in the SteamChef steamer at least every day to maintain food quality and keep
the steamer sanitary.
It may be necessary to change the water several times a shift, especially if cooking strong-flavored
foods or using perforated pans.
b) To Change the Water in the Reservoir:
i. Press the POWER ON/OFF button until the display is OFF to de-energize all controls and drain the
steamer. Wait 3 minutes to allow drain cycle to complete.
ii. Open the steamer door and allow steamer to cool.
iii. Remove the KleanShield. Remove any food particles and rinse the KleanShield with clean water.
iv. Remove any spilled food from inside compartment and rinse any residue from the drain valve and the
KleanShield drain.
v. Replace the KleanShield. See Chapter 3.
vi. Press the POWER ON/OFF button until the display turns on and the steamer will automatically begin
filling with water to the normal operating level after going into cook mode and pressing play
c) Cleaning the Steamer
Clean interior and exterior of the steamer according to the Shutdown and Cleaning Instructions in Chapter
6 at least once a day or at the end of each shift.
3. Yearly Maintenance
Clean the water line strainers at least once a year.
NOTE: When the steamer is first installed, check the strainer more frequently to find out how often the
strainer must be cleaned.
a) Press the POWER ON/OFF button to the OFF position.
b) Turn OFF power to the steamer at the Main External Power Switch.
c) Close the valves in the steamer water supply lines.
d) Unscrew the hoses from the inlet fittings located on the rear of the steamer.
e) Remove the filter washers from the outlet of the hoses and wash them with clean water. See Figure 3-9.
33
f) Check the filter washer for wear and replace it if necessary.
g) Put the filter washers into each of the water inlets and reconnect the hoses to the back of the steamer.
h) If treated water is used to supply water to the reservoir, make sure that it is connected to the left inlet at
the rear of the steamer. See Figure 2-2.
i) Open water supply valve(s) and check for water leaks.
j) Turn power back on to the steamer at the Main External Power Switch.
NOTE: The appliance will perform the automatic 3-minute drain rinse cycle.
B. Descaling Water Reservoir
Only qualified Cleveland Range authorized technicians or trained onsite maintenance personnel may
perform this procedure.
1. Is Descaling Necessary?
a) Although a SteamChef should not normally require this procedure, the use of “hard” water or failure to
follow the cleaning procedures in Chapter 6 may cause the accumulation of scale in the SteamChef.
b) Scale can deposit in the bottom of the SteamChef reservoir and/or in its drain. Descaling can help prevent
a costly service call if scale buildup begins to impair the SteamChef’s operation.
c) Descaling is not normally required on a SteamChef. Frequency will depend on water quality, and the
frequency of shutdown and cleaning of the water reservoir.
d) The frequency of descaling must be determined by the owner and performed by qualified Cleveland
Range authorized technicians or trained onsite maintenance personnel.
2. If descaling is necessary, Cleveland Range recommends the use of DISSOLVE® Descaler Solution,
Cleveland Range Part No. 106174. No other system of descaling should be used.
NOTE: Part No. 106174 is the part number for a case (6 1-gallon containers) of DISSOLVE® descaler.
3. Follow the instructions included with the DISSOLVE® Descaler Solution. Call Cleveland Range at 216-481-
4900 or 1-800-338-2204 if there are any questions.
MODEL 22CET6.2 DESCALING PROCEDURE (For DISSOLVE® Descaler Solution P/N 106174)
• This procedure takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to complete.
• Repeat this procedure as needed for heavy scale buildup.
• Regular cleaning of the steamer with vinegar per the instructions found in the Shutdown and Cleaning
Instructions may help reduce need for descaling. See Chapter 6.
• Sides, back, and top of steam compartments may be descaled with a vinegar solution and a soft brush.
See Chapter 6.

2. Press the ON/OFF POWER button until the steamer is OFF.
• The 3-minute drain cycle starts.
3. Remove the Pan Racks and KleanShield
TM
from inside the steamer.
• Heavily scaled pan racks and KleanShield
TM
may be descaled by soaking them in a solution of 1-part
Dissolve® and 4-parts water, rinsing thoroughly with cold water, and washing them in a dishwasher.
4. Remove any loose scale from the bottom of the steamer.
5. When the drain cycle is done, press the ON/OFF POWER button for 5 seconds, and display will turn ON to
refill the unit.
6. Do not start the timer.
7. Leave the door open.
NOTE: DO NOT HEAT THE STEAMER DURING DESCALING.
8. While the reservoir is filling with water, pour 1 to 1 ½ quarts (about a third of a 1-gallon bottle) of DISSOLVE®
descaler solution into the water reservoir.
34
• While adding DISSOLVE® descaler to the reservoir, pour it in slowly to avoid splashing the liquid or
overflowing the reservoir.
9. After automatic fill ends, turn OFF the Main External Power Switch..
10. Leave the door open and let the DISSOLVE® work for 1 hour.
11. At the end of 1 hour, press the ON/OFF button until turned OFF.
12. Turn the power ON at the Main External Power Switch.
13. After the 3-minute drain cycle completes, turn steamer back ON.
NOTE: If the reservoir does not fill, dry off the water probe assembly.
14. After filling stops, add 1/2 gallon of water to the reservoir. Do not overflow the reservoir.
15. Press the POWER ON/OFF button until the steamer is OFF to start the drain cycle.
16. After the reservoir drains, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the display turns on to refill the reservoir.
17. Close the cooking compartment door and set the timer for 20 minutes. The steamer heats to normal operating
temperature.
18. After 20 minutes turn the steamer OFF.
19. The 3-minute drain cycle starts.
• This is the final rinse of the reservoir.
20. If the reservoir drains slowly even after being descaled, turn OFF the steamer and clean the drains with an
NSF approved drain cleaner.
21. Once the scale is removed and the drain flows freely, the steamer is ready for normal operation.
