VSX SERIES STEAMER - SERVICE PROCEDURES
Page 27 of 80
Water Accumulating in Compartment
- Water
accumulation on the bottom of the cooking
compartment(s) is primarily condensed steam.
Failure to drain out quickly and completely, may be
due to clogged debris in the compartment drain
screen. Pull screen straight out and thoroughly
clean, then replace. Failure to drain completely may
also be due to improper leveling of the steamer.
Cooking Cycle Cannot Be Activated
- Inspect all
wire terminations to ensure they are positive and
secure before assuming any other problem. When
the power switch on boiler control box is ON, set the
timer knob to 2 minutes. Both READY lights should
go off, COOKING lights should come on and steam
should be entering both compartments.
Intake Shut-Off Valve Adjustment (Steam Flow)
1. Remove right side control panel.
2. Open the intake shut-off valve completely.
3. If the steamer ready light is on, then proceed to
step 5.
4. If the boiler is off, then turn main power switch
ON and allow boiler to heat up until steamer
ready light comes on. Turn both cooking timers
on and allow boiler to cycle 2 to 3 times, then
proceed to step 6.
5. Turn both cooking timers on.
6. Monitor the boiler until heat source turns off.
7. At that time, adjust the intake shut-off valve
until the manifold
pressure gauge reads 9 ±1
psi. The valve setting should be made while the
boiler pressure is at the upper cycling limit.
8. Monitor gauge reading 1 to 2 cycles to ensure
pressure is set correctly.
9. Once the valve is set, turn both cooking timers
off and reinstall right side control panel.
DOOR

the door bushings are in place.
Gasket
1. Open the door.

and remove the gasket.
4. Position the new gasket on the gasket plate
and reverse the procedure to install. Adjust the
door as outlined in “SEALING ADJUSTMENT

this will compress the gasket excessively and
interfere with proper door sealing.

Damage to the gasket sealing surface, such
as nicks or cuts, will cause steam leakage.
