INTRODUCTION
General
This manual is applicable for all models listed on the
cover page. A convection steamer on a 42 inch
base with a tilting kettle is pictured below for
reference.
Steam Cooking
Pressure-less steamers offer an efficient way to
produce many foods in small portions or larger
batches. Pressure-less, convection steam cooking
will steam cook fresh foods or will steam defrost and
cook frozen foods providing the maximum color,
flavor and nutritional value with the least
expenditure of energy and labor. The pressure-less
steaming compartment allows the operator to open
and close the door, anytime during a cooking cycle.
The steam supply will shut off when the door is
opened, then re-start when the door is closed.

Boiler Code Descriptions
Vulcan-Hart incorporates redundant controls in
compliance with California Code (Cal-Code) and
CSD-1 as an option on steam equipment when
required by state and/or local building code
requirements. Descriptions of the codes are listed
below.
Cal-Code Construction
- Redundant controls in the
electrical safety circuits that, if tripped, must
manually be reset after the condition causing the trip
subsides. These controls consist of - (1) dual
function water level cycling and low level cut off
control and (1) single function low water level cut-off
control (Aux - LLCO) and a high pressure relief
switch in conjunction with a mechanical pressure
relief valve.
CSD-1 Construction
- Redundant controls in the
electrical safety circuits that, if tripped, must
manually be reset after the condition causing the trip
subsides. These controls consist of - (1) dual
function water level cycling and low level cut off
control and (1) single function low water level cut-off
control (LLCO) and a high pressure relief switch in
conjunction with a mechanical pressure relief valve.
Additionally, both circuits have individual indicator
lights that will illuminate for a visual verification of
the shutdown mode.
Cal-Code and CSD-1 construction both require
operator intervention in the event of a shutdown.
CSD-1 is more informative by using indicator lights
to show which safety system was shutdown.
