Make sure the equipment is not dropped during moving. People doing the carrying could be seriously injured and/or the equipment damaged. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage resulted from such actions.

3.4 Location and Placement

The AccuTemp Evolution steamer can be placed on a commercial kitchen counter-top, ﬂush mounted or installed on a AccuTemp Evolution steamer stand. Provisions should be incorporated in the kitchen to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation (FIGURE 1).

The steamer must be installed in a level condition. An out of level condition may cause erratic operation and damage to the steamer. Damage of this kind is not covered by the limited warranty. Use a spirit level resting on the top surface of the steamer to ensure it is level front to back and left to right.

For the correct operation of the steamer it is important that it is leveled in a horizontal position.

Placement on an unlevel or uneven surface may result in performance faults. Only professional installation of the device guarantees it high-quality operation.

Check proper setting of the equipment by placing a hotel pan ﬁlled with water inside the steamer and observing the water level.

When using a stand that is equipped with casters, the ﬂoor

surface must be level and ﬂat. Failure to do so can result in a “tipping” hazard that could result in serious injury.

3.9 Connected Model - Additional Connections

3.9.1 Supply Water Line (FIGURE 11)

The installation of the water connection to the appliance is the responsibility of the owner and or installer.

An inlet strainer in water inlet must be used, removal of strainer voids steamer warranty.

The installation of this appliance should comply with all applicable federal, state or local plumbing codes.

The installation requires a check valve (or other approved anti-back ﬂow/ anti-siphon device) in all supply lines in accordance with and as required by local, state and national health, sanitation and plumbing codes. AccuTemp does NOT provide a check valve with the steamer.

• Design the water supply line so the unit can be moved for

service. Install a manual water shuto valve between the water supply line and the steamer supply line.

• A reinforced rubber or braided stainless steel appliance

hose rated for the temperature and pressure of the water supply with a 3/4” garden hose type connection is required.

• The Garden Hose Thread (GHT) connector used must

be suitable for potable water

• Do not apply pipe thread sealant to GHT

connections.

• Either hot or cold water can be connected to the

steamer. If hot is used, temperature must be less than 180°F.

• The hose must not be sharply bent, kinked or twisted.

• If the steamer is close to a wall, use a right angle ﬁtting to

prevent kinking the hose

• The Auto-Fill Valve has a maximum water supply pressure

of 60 psi. If stream goes beyond ¾ or IF water pressure gauge is > 60 psi, THEN install water regulator.

• Flush the water supply lines before connecting the lines to

the appliance.

• Connect the water supply lines to the steamer.

3.9.2 Drain Line Connection

Floor Drain

The steamer should be located close to, but not within

20” or directly over, a ﬂoor drain.

• Connect a ¾” ID reinforced rubber hose rated for 212°F

or higher to the drain ﬁtting on rear of the steamer with a hose clamp (Connected Units ONLY).

• Run the hose to the drain. DO NOT directly plumb the

steamer to the drain, Leave a one-inch air gap between the hose and the drain.

• The hose must drop 1/4” (inch) per foot to the drain.

• Ensure no loops form in the drain line as this can cause a

backup and will aect the operation of the unit

The unit should not be located within 20” of a ﬂoor drain.

Optional Drain Connection

Run the hose to a funnel ﬁtting leaving a one-inch gap between the hose and the top of the funnel. The drain hose must slope toward the ﬂoor drain or funnel.

Installation Manual I Installation

3.10 Ventilation

DO NOT connect Drain or Vent lines on multiple appliances. Each appliance should have its own dedicated drain and vent.

The steam vent is provided with a 45 ° elbow. The steam vent must not be obstructed. An obstruction will prevent correct operation of the steamer.

Applicable federal, state and/or local plumbing codes will dictate when and if a hood is required.

3.10.1 Steam Vent Extension

When adding anything to the vent on the Evolution steamer, care must be taken to prevent doing anything that puts a back pressure on the steamer. Back pressure on the steamer may interfere with the pressure switch that controls the heaters. When the pressure switch senses pressure in the steamer that is 0.5” of water column or more, it turns the heaters o. Therefore, anything on the vent putting a pressure of just 0.5” water column on the steamer turns the heaters o and prevents them from coming on again until the pressure is relieved. Intermittent operation of the steamer can often be traced to restrictions, low spots or a plugged condensate drain in the vent ﬁtting assembly.

Extension Sloping Upward (FIGURE 12)

1. Use nominal ¾” copper, brass or stainless steel to prevent ﬂow restrictions. Larger inside diameter (ID) can be used also

2. Pipe should slope upward a 1/4” per foot from the steamer vent toward a vent hood to allow water condensing in it to run back to the steamer and down the drain line. Minimum recommended slope is ¼” per foot of hose length.

3. Use rigid pipe rather than ﬂexible tubing or hose to prevent dips or sags in the pipe that may collect water. A puddle of water in the piping just ½” deep will cause the steamer to malfunction. Recommended pipe materials are rigid ¾” copper tubing (7/8” OD) or brass/ 18-8 stainless steel pipe (3/4 NPT or larger). Pipe hangers or pipe supports should be used every six feet to prevent long runs from sagging.

4. A pipe union should be installed next to the steamer to permit the vent to be easily disconnected. This allows the steamer to be easily moved for servicing.

5. Total length of extended vent piping should not exceed 15 feet.

To prevent putting a back pressure on the steamer, vent piping should have no restrictions and no low spots where water can accumulate. Ventilation piping can be directed upwards toward hoods or downward towards ﬂoor drains. Slightly dierent approaches are required for each application.

Installation Manual I Installation

Extension Sloping Downwards (FIGURE 13)

1. Use nominal ¾” or larger inside diameter (ID) to prevent ﬂow restrictions.

2. Pipe should slope downwards from the steamer vent to a ﬂoor drain to allow water condensing in it to run unimpeded into the ﬂoor drain.

3. For downward sloping extension to a ﬂoor drain ONLY – ¾ ID or larger reinforced silicone hose (auto radiator hose) may be used. The hose end must be open and not submerged. Avoid any low spots that will cause puddles of water and increase of back pressure.

4. Total length of extended vent piping should not exceed 15 feet.

Mounting vent Extensions On Two Steamers on a Double Stack Stand.

DO NOT connect Drain or Vent lines on multiple appliances. Each appliance should have its own dedicated drain and vent.

Each steamer’s vent must be extended individually. Tying multiple vents together will result in the steamers being unable to regulate heat.

For the both steamers, follow the instructions as provided above in Extension Sloping Upward. The lower steamer’s vent must exit above the top of the upper steamer (FIGURE 14). When designing the extension to slope downwards, whether using rigid or ﬂexible hosing, pipe hangers or pipe supports should be used every six feet to prevent long runs from sagging. The end of the hose/pipe should not be submerged to prevent steam backups (FIGURE 15).

When accessing the cooking chamber, be sure to always stand back while slowing opening the door to allow the chamber to vent o the steam. Never reach into the cooking chamber before it has completely vent o the steam.

Never use wet or damp gloves as moisture can conduct heat quickly.

Keep the ﬂoor in front of the equipment clean and dry. If spills occur, clean immediately to avoid potential injuries.

Do not manually ﬁll water above the water level mark on the left side of the cooking chamber.

Do not use abrasive (or steel) materials, such as wire brushes, metal scouring pads to clean the cooking chamber bottom.

4.1 Operation Introduction

The AccuTemp Evolution steamer uses the time proven method of cooking with steam. Once the cooking time expires, the steamer can be set to the “Hold Mode”. In this mode, the controller regulates the internal temperature. At this time, steam is no longer generated and the cooking chamber is held at the preset temperature at a relative humidity of 100%. This eliminates food from drying out by suppressing the evaporation of the products natural moisture. As a result, most food products can be held in a ready-to-serve state for several hours after cooking, with no appreciable loss in taste, appearance or consistency.

4.3 Partial Loads

The Evolution is designed to cook quickly with exceptional pan-to-pan uniformity on full loads of food. Excellent pan-topan uniformity can be achieved with partial loads if the pans are optimally placed in the steamer. For partial loads using 2½” deep pans, the top position in the steamer is used ﬁrst followed by the second pan placed in third pan position from the top and then the third pan in the ﬁfth pan position from the top (FIGURE 18). Placing the pans in these positions will optimize the cooking time and pan-to-pan uniformity.

4.7.5 How to to Protect Stainless Steel

All materials used in manufacturing AccuTemp products undergo multiple thorough quality inspections, as does the production process itself. For producing the internal parts of the appliance, AccuTemp uses high-quality steel. These are steels commonly indicated as corrosion-resistant or stainless, due to their heightened resistance to corrosion. The surface of these materials is further treated during the manufacturing process (passivation or electromechanical polishing) to increase their corrosion resistance. However, improving these steels’ corrosion resistance does not mean that corrosion can never occur at all. If corrosion starts on these types of steel, there may be one or a combination of the factors listed below (it just takes a short time for corrosion to develop):

1. Using water that has: a. High chloride or sulphate content (such as table salt

NaCl,etc.)

b. High content of metals with opposite electrochemical

potential. c. High oxygen content (HNO3, Cu2+, Fe2+). d. pollutants (CO₂, H₂S, SO₂, iron). e. High chlorine content. f. High acidity. g. Greater surface roughness due to improper cleaning.

2. Decreased possibility of natural passivation of material surface due to the presence of deposits: a. of calcium (due to hard water). b. of biological substances (food residues).

3. Surface contamination by iron (such as due to use of inappropriate cooking containers or cleaning with mechanical metal objects).

To protect the equipment, we would recommend the following steps:

1. Use the proper tools. Never use sandpaper on stainless steel, as it can cause scratches in the steel, allowing corrosion to form. Use non-abrasive tools, like soft cloths and plastic scouring pad, stainless steel pads (scrub in direction of polishing marks).

2. Clean with the polish lines or “grain” Scrub in a motion parallel to the lines when visible lines are present. Use a soft cloth or plastic scouring pad when grain cannot be seen.

3. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners. Ask your supplier for an alternative if your present cleaner contains chlorides. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salts to avoid pitting and rusting.

4. Keep your food equipment clean. Following the cleaning instructions in Section 4.6 will greatly reduce the chances of corrosion and rust.

5. Rinse and wipe equipment and supplies if chlorinated cleaners are used, dry immediately. Wipe o standing water as soon as possible, especially when it contains cleaning agents.

6. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel.

7. Regularly re-passivate with oxalic acid (Bar Keepers Friend or equivalent) or citric acid (Citri-surf / Citri-clean or equivalent) . Note – these materials are stronger and more eective than vinegar. These water based acids remove traces of steel and activate the chromium oxide passive layer.

4. By use of unsuitable cleaning chemicals.

8. Always rinse the unit with clean water and dry with the steamer door and drain valve open.

5.5 Steam Comes Out of Door (Overpressure)

• Verify that the door is completely closed and latched.

• Wait a minute to see if it stops. After the steamer reﬁlls with water it is normal for some steam to come out the door for a brief amount of time, usually less that one minute.

5.6 Steamer Temperature is Low

• When the steamer automatically reﬁlls the fresh water, the temperature of the steamer will drop. The steamer should reheat quickly.

• If -99F or -1F appears call AccuTemp for assistance.

• If frozen product is added the temperature will take time to recover.

5.7 Food is Undercooked

• Verify that the door is completely closed and latched.

• Opening and closing the door frequently can lower the temeperature and increase cook times.

• Verify the steam vent is clear of debris.

• Call AccuTemp for assistance with recipe timing.
