How do you turn on steam heat?

Not a news story, but more of a question that fellow Chicago residents may be able to answer!

It is cold in my flat and I have no idea how to use the radiator-looking thing that my building claims is a steam heater. My building manager is not around. Can any of you guys try to explain to me how to turn this thing on?

Thanks Windy Citizens!!!!
