2. Setup and Installation
The CONVOTHERM Drip Tray is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the combi steamer is turned off and cooled down before proceeding with installation or replacement.
- Preparation: Identify the designated location for the drip tray within your CONVOTHERM combi steamer. Refer to your combi steamer's primary instruction manual for specific details on drip tray placement.
- Placement: Carefully slide the drip tray into its slot. Ensure it is securely seated and aligned with the drainage system of the combi steamer.
- Hose Connection: Connect the appropriate drainage hose (15 mm connection) to the spout on the drip tray. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks. The hose should lead to a suitable drain.
- Verification: Once installed, visually inspect the drip tray to confirm it is level and that all connections are secure.
Safety Note: Always disconnect power to the combi steamer before performing any installation or maintenance tasks.
3. Operating Instructions
The drip tray operates passively by collecting condensation and excess water generated during the combi steamer's cooking cycles. No user interaction is required during operation.
- Ensure the drainage hose connected to the drip tray is clear and unobstructed to allow for proper water flow.
- Regularly check the drainage system to prevent blockages that could lead to water overflow.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the drip tray ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your combi steamer.
- Daily Cleaning: After each day of operation, remove the drip tray (if easily accessible) and clean it thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry before re-installing.
- Inspect for Blockages: Periodically check the drip tray and its drainage spout for any food debris, grease, or mineral deposits that could cause blockages. Clear any obstructions immediately.
- Material Care: As the drip tray is made of ABS plastic, avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Damage Inspection: Regularly inspect the drip tray for cracks, warping, or other signs of damage. A damaged drip tray may not function effectively and should be replaced.
