C24GA SERIES CONVECTION STEAMERS - ELECTRICAL OPERATION
COMPONENT FUNCTION
COOKING COMPARTMENT
General
The upper section of the steamer consists of two separate cooking compartments. Each compartment functions
independently with its own set of controls. Power is supplied to the controls only after the steam pressure rises
above 4 psi to energize the compartment latching relay. The relay remains energized as long as Main Power Switch
is on.
Ready Light (Green)......................When the Green Ready Light is lit, it indicates steamer is ready to cook.
Cooking Light (Red)...................... When the Red Cooking Light is lit, it indicates steamer is in a cooking cycle.
Cooking Timer.............................. The Cooking Timer is used to set desired cooking cycle time between 0 – 60
minutes. When a timer is set, the steam supply solenoid valve is energized to
allow steam into the cooking compartment, but only after the generator has
reached its operating pressure. Also, the timer energizes the buzzer when time
expires. The timer can be set to the constant steam position. This allows
steam to flow into the cooking compartment continuously.
Power On/Off Switch.................... The Power On/Off Switch located on the lower compartment control panel,
supplies power to the controls when in the on position, and causes the steam
generating process to start in the generator.
Power Indicator Light................... The Power Indicator Light, located to the left of the Power On/Off Switch, is
illuminated when the Power On/Off Switch is in the on position.
Buzzer...........................................The Buzzer signals the end of a cook cycle and must be turned off manually.
Door Switch.................................. The Door Switch removes electrical power to the timer.
Steam Solenoid Valve.................. The Steam Solenoid Valve is normally closed, and when energized, opens to
allow steam into the cooking compartment.
Steam Supply Header................... The Steam Supply Header is the main steam supply line from the generator for
each cooking compartment. The header supplies steam up to the steam
solenoid valve.
