6. The “trial for ignition” period is roughly
90 seconds. If the pilot burner does
not light within 90 seconds, the system
automatically stops gas flow to the pilot
burner and lights the Lockout neon on
the front control panel. If this happens,
turn off the pilot switch, push the Gas
Reset switch, and repeat the trial for
ignition. During the first start-up, the
pilot may require several trials for
ignition to bleed air from the piping.
Subsequent start-ups should only need
about five seconds to achieve pilot
ignition. NOTE:See Automatic Pilot
Operation at the end of this section.
7. Once the pilot flame has been
established (the green light on the
electrical panel is on), press the “ON”
switch for the desired steamer cavity.
The steam generator will fill with water.
NOTE:The door MUST be closed for the main
(high) heater to work.
8. When the steam generator has filled with water,
the main and low burners will automatically light.
The READY light should come on within 10
minutes, to show that the water has reached its
standby temperature. When the READY light is
on, the operator may take any of the following
steps:
a. Set the timer to the desired time for timed
steaming.
WARNING
WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY FROM
STEAM COMING OUT OF THE UNIT. THE STEAM
CAN CAUSE BURNS.
b. Turn the timer knob to the manual ON
position for continuous steam.
c. Let the unit wait at standby temperature. The
steam generator is equipped with a high-limit
thermostat which will trip if the liquid level
probe fails.
9. If this happens, the High Temperature neon on
the front control panel will glow and trip a reset
switch. The Reset Switch must be pressed to
re-start steam generation. This switch is located
next to the pilot switch (towards the rear of the
unit) and can be reached through the access
door on the right side of the unit.
10. To shut down the unit, turn the ON switch to the
OFF position. The steam generator will
automatically drain. You may also switch OFF
the pilot switch to conserve energy
11. If your steamer works as described, it is
functioning correctly and is ready for use.
Automatic Pilot Operation
Once the pilot burner has been lit, it essentially
functions as a standing pilot. When the pilot switch
is on, if the pilot is accidentally extinguished (by a
very strong gust of wind or the like), it will re-ignite
automatically. The unit will shut off completely for a
few seconds while the pilot is re-ignited. The unit will
then come back on and resume operation in the
mode and at the (running) timer value existing just
prior to shutdown. The pilot switch may be turned off
during “off hours” to conserve energy.
If the pilot burner ever fails to re-ignite automatically
within 90 seconds, after the unit has been running,
the Gas Lockout neon on the front control panel will
light. Wait five minutes and push the Gas Reset
switch to reignite the pilot. Should ignition problems
persist, contact your authorized Groen Service
Agency.
1.7 Setting the Gas Pressure
1. During commissioning, a gas pressure check is
essential. Connect a suitable pressure gauge to
the gas manifold to perform this test. The
pressure gauge should be connected to the test
nipple (See photograph at right).
