CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
To use a Gemini gas steamer safely and effectively, each operator must read and understand this Chapter
completely before starting operation. The owner(s) and operator(s) of the steamer should retain these
instructions in an easily accessible location for future reference and training.
The owner(s) and operator(s) of the steamer must be aware that steam can cause serious injuries and
equipment damage. Pay particular attention to the Operational Safety section of this chapter, and the
WARNINGS and CAUTIONS displayed in this manual and on the equipment.
A. GAS LEAK INSTRUCTIONS
If the operator smells gas, or suspects there is a gas leak, he should immediately refer to the posted gas
leak instructions. The posted instructions are provided by the local supplier and supersede any other
instructions. Until the leak is stopped, observe the following precautions in addition to the posted
instructions.
· Do not light or start any appliance.
· Do not touch any electrical switch.
· Do not use any phone in the building.
· Immediately call the gas supplier from a phone away from the building. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
· If the gas supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department.
B. OPERATIONAL SAFETY
The safe and effective operation of any steamer depends upon proper installation, use, maintenance, and
repair. Operational safety must encompass all of these factors. This Operational Safety section outlines the
minimum safety policies that should be considered when using one or more Gemini steamers. It is assumed
that any operational safety program must be tailored to the specific site and use of the equipment.
Burn hazards are present in any professional food service operation. When using the steamer, observe the
following precautions.
· Remember at all times that steam can cause severe burns.
· When checking inside the steamer always open the door slowly and stand to the side and back
away from the steamer. Water leaking from the door gasket can be a sign of a blocked drain. If
the drain is blocked, hot water can accumulate inside the compartment and spill out when the
door is opened.
· Open the door slightly to allow steam to vent before looking or reaching into cooking compartment.
· Do not reach into the cooking compartment until the steam has cleared.
· Do not reach into steamer or handle hot items without wearing heatproof gloves. Wet or damp
gloves conduct heat, and may cause burns when touching hot items.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START OR OPERATE a Gemini steamer
during a power outage.
DEATH, INJURY, AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE could result from
the improper installation of a steamer.
Before starting a recently installed or repaired steamer, be sure it has
been installed by qualified personnel according to the instructions
found in the separate Installation and Maintenance Manual.
