Remove the SteamCraft 10 and components from the immediate work area
during storage, site preparation, and while running the utility supply lines to
the operating location. To protect the SteamCraft 10 from dirt, and prevent
loss or damage, take the following precautions as a minimum.
1. Leave pac kaged components inside the shipping canon or cooking com partment.
2. Keep the SteamCraft 10 dean by covering it with a plastic tarp or drop
cloth.
3. Do not store other items on top of the SteamCraft 10.
Electric Power Requirements
Gas Supply Requirements
Exhaust Hood Requirements
All Models
The characteristics of me electric power supply must match the power
requirements specified on the SteamCraft 10 product identification plate. The
plate is located on the left side panel, in the lower right comer, as detailed in
Figure 2-2.
NEVER EXC EED 14" WATER COLUMN (1/2 psi) GAS PRESSURE. If the
gas supply pressure exceeds 14" water column, a pressure-regulating valve
must be installed in the gas supply plumbing to reduce the gas pressure to
less than 14" water column.
• Natural gas pressure must be between 4" -14" water column.
• L.P. gas supply pressure must be between 12" -14" water column.
In addition to the required venting of gas -fired equipment, some state and
local codes require me venting of steam generating equipment. It is the
responsibility of me owner and/or installer to learn and comply with these
codes.
• Models 24-CGA-10 and 24-CGP-10 have gas -fired steam generators with
an exhaust vent on top of the unit These units MUST be installed under an
exhaust hood suitable for ventilation and operation of gas -fired appliances,
as specified by local and national codes.
• Models 24-CEA-10 and 24-CEP-10 have electric steam generators and do
not have an exhaust vent. In some areas, local codes require installation of
these units under an exhaust hood suitable for ventilation and operation of
steam generating appliances.
Using water not within the limits specified in this
manual could void or adversely affect Cleveland
Range's warranty coverage of the SteamCraft 10.
As with any steam generating equipment, poor water quality degrades
SteamCraft 10 performance. If feed water is low in Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS) and free of particulate matter, the steam generator, heating element,
and valv es of me Steam Craft 10 will give years of trouble -free service
with a minimum of maintenance.
In some areas, even potable tap water contains a variety of impurities that
can cause costly problems in steam generating equipment. Of primary
concern are mineral salts and other impurities, which remain behind as
lime or scale deposits during the steam generating process. These deposits
have caused components to fail, including nearing elements, probes, and
solenoid valves. Of equal importance is me decrease in heat transfer
efficiency caused by lime and scale deposits. Decreased heat transfer
increases water and power consumption. Use of the SteamCraft 10 in areas
with poor water quality requires installation of a SteamerGard water
treatment system or increased frequency of maintenance, cleaning, and
descaling.
Check the quality of supply water as described below before starting construction of the water supply lines. If a SteamerGard water treatment
system must be installed to achieve acceptable water quality, install it
before connecting the water supply lines to the SteamCraft 10. For more
information on water treatments, refer to Softened, Treated, or Filtered
Water on page 16.
Contact a local water treatment specialist for an on-the-premises water
analysis. The recommended minimum feed water quality requirements for
the SteamCraft 10 are listed in Table 2-2.
Total Dissolved Solidsless than 60 parts per million
Silica
Do not use softened or chlorinated water in the SteamCraft 10 steam
generator- If the water supply is treated or softened either by the
water company or on the premises, it may contain chlorine or various
salts. These additives are damaging to the SteamCraft 10 steam
generator. Salts used to soften water cause rapid scale buildup, and
increased corrosion.
Some water treatment plants kill bacteria in the water by adding
chlorine. Chlorinated water is actually dilute hydrochloric acid. It is
very damaging to the SteamCraft 10. When heated in the steam
generator, chlorinated water rapidly dissolves generator walls and
heater elements. In extreme cases, poisonous and highly corrosive
chlorine gas is released in the steam generator.
Installing a high volume water filtering system such as the
SteamerGard removes most of the salts used for water softening.
Contact a local water treatment specialist or the local water company
for assistance with chlorinated water.
Water Supply System
Select a water supply system that fulfills the requirements listed in
Table 2-2. The supply must provide a minimum dynamic pressure of
35 psi (2.4 kg/cm2) and a maximum static pressure of 60 psi (4.1
kg/cm2). Refer to page 24 for detailed pressure and fitting
requirements, and recommended plumbing layouts.
• Always connect a cold water supply to the SteamCraft 10 water
supply lines. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. The SteamCraft 10 will
not function properly or within design safety limits if hot or warm
water is supplied to the condenser water connection.
• If analysis shows that the supply water is within the required limits, a
single line water system can be installed. A single water line system
is illustrated in Figure 2-10 on page 25,
• If analysis shows that the supply water is NOT within the required
limits, install a SteamerGard water treatment system. Figure 2-11
on page 25 illustrates a treated water supply arrangement.
• If analysis shows that the supply water is NOT within the required
limits, and it is NOT possible to install a SteamerGard water
treatment system;
plan on increasing the frequency of maintenance, cleaning, and
descaling beyond that recomme nded in the maintenance schedule
(Chapter 4).
For safe and efficient operation, observe the following criteria when selecting an
operating location for the Steam Craft 10 Steamer.
1. Do not install these units in areas where combustibles are stored or may
accumulate. The surrounding area must be clear of combustibles, including the
space under the unit.
2. Do not locate the SteamCraft 10 directly over a floor drain used for:
draining hot condensate from this or any other appliance. The drain must be
outside the body of the unit.
3. A proper air supply for combustion and ventilation air is critical for safe,
efficient operation of SteamCraft 10 Steamers. The area around the steamer
must have adequate ventilation for gas-fired appliances.
4. The back panel and both side panels have vents for combustion and ventilation
air. Do not block these air vents. Do not install any heat producing equipment
near the air vents of the unit.
WARNING
All clearance requirements above, below, and
around the unit are the same for non-combustible
locations as for combustible locations.
5. The dimension drawings (Figure 2-2) specify all dimensions and clear ances
required for proper operation and service of each SteamCraft 10 Steamer
covered in this manual. Maintain at least a 3-inch operating clearance at the
sides of the unit, and at least a 3-inch clearance at the back. Do not store articles
on top of the unit.
6. The lower from and right side panels of the unit are the service access panels.
Select an operating location that allows a minimum 12-inch clearance for
service access through these panels.
7. Installation of an exhaust hood over the unit may be required by local, state,
and/or national codes. Refer for Exhaust Hood Requirements - All Models on
page 10. If the SteamCraft 10 cannot be installed under an existing hood, check
the exhaust hood venting requirements for a suitable hood over the operating
location.
8. The location selected must be capable of supporting the operational weight of
the SteamCraft 10, including the weight of water and food. The SreamCraft 10
Steamer operating weights are listed on the dimension drawings.
9. The Steam Craft 10 must be level both front for back and side to side. Select an
operating surface that is level enough for allow leveling the unit without
extreme adjustment of the legs.
After selecting the operating location, the SteamCraft 10 can be unpacked,
positioned, and installed. After Final Setup and Checkout, the SteamCraft 10 will
provide years of reliable operation.
CAUTION
Malfunctions and equipment damage may result from improper
mounting. Malfunctions and/or damage resulting from
improper mounting are not covered by the equipment warranty.
The SteamCraft 10 MUST BE LEVEL BOTH FRONT TO
BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE in all mounting arrangements.
Equipment damage will result from shifting the SteamCraft 10
more than 10° out of level while power is turned on. The unit
must be level front to back and side to side.

10. The slide racks are shipped in separate packing inside the cooking
compartment. Be careful not to damage or throw these racks away.
3. Remove the slide rack carton from the cooking compartment. The pack age
contains four slide racks (two for each cooking compartment) as illustrated in
Figure 2-3.
4. Open both cooking compartment doors. Several pre-assembled parts can be seen
inside each cooking compartment. Refer to Figure 2-4, and verify that the Drain
Screen, Steam Nozzles, and Slide Rack Mounting Pins are installed.
5. Inspect the SteamCraft 10 and parts for damage or loss.
• If you discover or suspect shipping damage or loss, refer to the Shi pping
Damage Instructions.
• If all items are accounted for and undamaged, place the packaged slide racks
inside the cooking compartments, and proceed to Position and Level the
SteamCraft 10.
If shipping damage to the SteamCraft 10 is discovered or suspected, observe the
following guidelines in preparing a shippi ng damage claim.
• Write down a description of the damage or the reason for suspecting damage as
soon as it is discovered. This will help in filling out the claim forms later.
• As soon as damage is discovered or suspected, notify the carrier who delivered
the shipment.
• Arrange for a carrier representative to examine the damage.
• Fill out all appropriate claims forms and have the examining carrier sign and date
each form.

NOTE: If ther e is not enough room to work on the drain, electrical. and water lines
with the SteamCraft 10 in place, skip this procedure until they are
completed. While preparing the utility lines, protect the SteamCraft 10
as described on page 10. After the lines are prepared, position and level
the SteamCraft 10, then connect the utility lines.
Adjustable Leveling Legs
The supporting legs of the SteamCraft 10 Steamer are 6-inches long when the
adjustable feet are fully retracted. This provides the minimum 6-inch space below
the unit required by NSF sanitary standards. The adjustable feet can be extended
approximately 2 inches to provide a means of leveling the SteamCraft 10.
Positioning and Leveling
1. Check that all Unpacking and Inspection tasks are complete.
2. Thoroughly clean the floor area that will support the SteamCraft 10.
3. Using a level, determine and mark the highest corner of the floor area that will
support the leveling legs.
WARNING
INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE could result from
improper lifting. Refer to the appropriate di mension drawing
and check the weight of the unit being installed. Use enough
workers with experience lifting heavy equipment to place the
SteamCraft 10 on the supporting surface.
5. Check the adjusting foot of the leg in the highest corner (marked in step 3). The
foot should be fully retracted and provide a 6-inch clearance under the unit.
6. Using a level, adjust the other three legs until the Steam Craft 10 is level both front
to back and side to side.
7. After the Steam Craft 10 has been positioned and leveled, install the slide racks as
described below.
Install Slide Racks
1. Refer to Figure 2-5. There are two slide racks for each cooking compartment. Each
rack has four loops: two at the top and two at the bottom. Hold the slide rack so
the ends of the hanger loops point down, as shown in the figure.
2. Slide one rack into the compartment with loops toward the compartment wall and
mounting pins.
3. Hook the loops over the top and bottom pins.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each of the other racks.
Vented Drain Lines
The drain outlet must be free air vented to equalize the pressure in the Steam Craft 10
Steamer with the atmosphere. Generating steam causes pressure to increase in the
unit; cold water flow into the condenser creates a vacuum (low pressure) in the
condenser. Without a free air vent, either high or low pressure in the compartment
will cause malfunction or damage.
• Pressure build up in the steamer will cause steam and hot water leakage around the
door.
• A vacuum will implode the steamer and cause permanent physical damage.
Refer to Figure 2-6, and the dimension drawings (Figure 2-2). The drain outlet (D)
discharges exhaust steam and hot condensate from the steamer. The drain exhaust
vent and a 1-inch minim um clearance between the drain opening and floor drain
provide the SteamCraft 10 Steamer with free air venting.
Furnishing and installing the drain lines and fittings is the responsibility of the owner
and/or installer. Figure 2-6 illustrates a drain layout recommended by Cleveland
Range. Observe the following instructions to determine the pipe size, the number of
fittings required, and the layout of the drain line.
DEATH, INJURY, AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
could result from improper installation of the drain
outlet lines.
Improper installation of these lines could void the
SteamCraft 10 Steamer warranty. The following
restrictions are critical to the safety of personnel and
equipment, and must not be violated under any
circumstances.
Do not connect the drain line into PVC pipe, or any
other drain material that cannot sustain 180° F.
Do not connect drains from any other equipment to the
SteamCraft 10 Steamer drain line.
Do not connect the drain outlet extension line directly
to a floor drain or sewer line.
1. The drain lines must be installed in compliance with local, state, and national
utility, construction and sanitation codes; the most prominent of which are listed
in the Installation Policies section below
2. The floor drain receiving the hot condensate from the Steam Craft 10 must not be
located under the body of the unit. Steam rising from the drain up into the unit
body will adversely affect operation, cooling air ventilation. and may cause
corrosion on some of the electrical contacts. Improper location of this drain will
seriously reduce warranty coverage.
3. The total length of pipe and number of bend fittings required to reach the open
drain determines the pipe size used to extend the drain line to an open drain.
• If the drain outlet extension requires six feet or less of pipe, and no more than
two elbows are required, use 1.5-inch pipe and fittings.
• If the drain outlet extension requires six to twelve feet of pipe, or requires three
or more elbows, use 2-inch pipe and fittings.
4. The drain line must have a gravity flow from the Steam Craft 10 Steamer drain
outlet to the floor drain Do not install a trap in the drain line.
5. Free air venting requires a minimum of one inch clearance between the end of the
drain line and the top of the floor drain.
6. Do not connect the steamer drain to drains or plumbing of any other equipment. If
drains of two or more units are connected together.
• Low pressure can develop, causing an implosion and physical collapse of the
steamer.
• Drainage from another unit can flow back into a cooking compartment of the
steamer.

venting of gas-fired equipment, some state and local codes require the venting of
steam generating equipment.
1. The SteamCraft 10 gas flue (G ) must be vented in compliance with all local, state,
and national codes for venting gas-fired appliances. Steam venting must comply
with the state and local codes where applicable.
2. The exhaust hood must be sized for the cumulative ventilation requirem ents of all
gas -fired appliances in the area, as well as to the SteamCraft 10.
3. Do not connect the gas flue directly to a forced draft exhaust system or canopy.
Excess draft through the flue reduces the oven's efficiency and may affect cooking
times.
4. If an existing exhaust hood cannot be used, a new one should be con-structed over
the SteamCraft 10. The Dimensions and Clearances Draw -ing (Figure 2-2)
contains the dimensions, gas flow, and BTU per hour data required to calculate
the minimum required hood dimensions and minimum ventilation capacity
(c.f.m).

Furnishing and plumbing the water supply lines is the responsibility of the
4. The steamer must be electrically grounded by the installer in accordance
with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-(latest edition).
5. If no further work inside the side panel is required at this time, such as
plumbing and leak checks, secure the side panel with the three mounting
screws (Figure 2-7). Do not turn power ON at the main disconnect switch
until power is required for component or operational testing
owner and/or installer. This section illustrates plumbing layouts recommended
by Cleveland Range. When installing water supply lines, observe the following
instructions.
1. The Steam Craft 10 has two 3/8-inch IPS fittings for connecting the steam
generator and condenser/blowdown water supply lines. These fittings are
detailed as C and B in Figure 2-2.
2. Always connect a cold water supply to both water supply lines. DO NOT
USE HOT WATER. The steamer will not function properly or within
design safety limits if hot or warm water is supplied to either the condenser
connection or the steam generator fill connection.
3. Do not connect the SteamCraft 10 to a softened or treated water supply
which adds chlorine or chloride salts to the water. Refer to Softened,
Treated, or Filtered Water on page 16 for details.
4. Supply water must have a minimum dynamic pressur e of 35 psi (2.4 kg/cm )
and a maximum static pressure of 60 psi (4.1 kg/cm2). Water pressure
greater than 60 psi will cause damage TO the solenoid valves. Local water
pressure can be 100 psi or more. If possible, check supply pressure at nonpeak demand time. A local water company can assist in this check. If static
pressure exceeds 60 psi, a pressure regulator must be installed in the supply
lines. For best results, set the regulator for 50 psi dynamic pressure.
5. Refer to the recommended plumbing layouts in Figures 2-10 and 2-11 and install
the water supply lines and fittings in accordance with all local and national
codes. Pay particular attention to the following requirements and
recommendations.
a. When installing a water supply system without a SteamerGard, Cleveland
Range recommends the plumbing layout illustrated in Figure 2-10. This is a
single water line from the main cold water supply to the tee just outside the
SteamCraft 10. The two separate lines from the tee to the steam generator and
condenser/blowdown connections are comparatively short.
b. When installing a water supply system with a SteamerGard. Cleveland Range
recommends the plumbing layout illustrated in Figure 2-11. Note the following
details:
• This is a single water line from the main cold water supply to the tee just
before the SteamerGard. The two separate and comparatively short lines
run from the tee to the SteamerGard intake connection and from the tee to
the SteamCraft 10 condenser/blowdown connec-tion.
• The water supply to the condenser connection can be untreated.
• The treated water supply connects to the steam generator fill connec -
tion.
Figure 2-11. Treated Water Supply Arrangement
Page 34
Connect Water Supply Lines
c. Whether installing a treated or untreated water supply system, use the
• For the two lines between the Steam Craft 10 and the tee use 3/8-inch
IPS water supply lines to match the 3/8-inch compression fittings
mounted on the bottom panel of the SteamCraft 10.
• For the single line between the tee and the main cold water supply,
use 1/4-inch to 5/8-inch IPS water supply lines. If lines larger than
5/8-inch are used in this segment, a pressure regulator must be
installed before the tee, to maintain the pressure specified in step four.
d. Install a manual water valve between the main cold water supply line
and the SteamCraft 10 lines.
e. The National Sanitarian Foundation (NSF) requires installation of a
check-valve in all supply lines in accordance with and as required by
local plumbing codes.
f. At the points indicated in the recommended plumbing layouts, install a
40-mesh water strainer of the type and construction illustrated in Figure
2-12. A strainer is provided with the Steam Craft 10.
Figure 2-12. Water Strainer Assembly
Figure 2-13. Water Strainer Installation
4. Construct all supply lines up to the point of installing the strainer(s)
illustrated in the recommended plumbing layouts. Flush the water supply
lines before connecting the strainer(s).
• If the remaining water supply lines and/or SteamerGard are not
immediately installed and connected after flushing, temporarily cap the
water supply lines.
• If the final installation and connections are performed immediately, refer
to the connection instructions in the SteamerGard manual, and Connect
Water Supply Lines, following.
The water supply connections are located unde r the SteamCraft 10, as shown
in Figure 2-2. Connect the water supply lines to the Steam Craft 10 by
following both the general connection requirements and those requirements
specific to the type of supply system, either untreated water supply (Figure 2-
10) or water supply treatment system (Figure 2-11).
1. Apply pipe dope or teflon tape to any threaded connection.
2. Flush the water supply lines before connecting the strainers), and again
before connecting the lines. to the SteamCraft 10 connections.
3. When installing water strainer(s), use a strainer with a 40 mesh screen as
illustrated in Figure 2-13.
• Make sure the arrow on the strainer body points in the direction of flow
i nto the steamer.
• Install the strainer so the access nut points down.
4. If incoming line pressure exceeds 60 psi static pressure, install a pressure
regulator to maintain the SteamCraft 10 pressure requirements specified in
Install Water Supply Lines (pa ge 24).
1. Refer to Figure 2-10. Verify that a suitable check valve is installed according to
NSF and local codes.
2. Look at the flow indicating arrows on the strainer and check valve and verify that
flow is toward the steamer.
3. Install the tee and connecting lines- Flush these lines before connecting them to
the water supply fittings on the steamer.
1. Verify that the SteamerGard water treatment system has been installed according
to the SteamerGard installation manual. The 40-mesh strainer supplied with the
SteamerGard must be installed at the SteamerGard water inlet.
2. Refer to Figure 2-11. Verify that suitable check valves are installed according to
NSF and local codes. The condenser line check valve should be installed
between the tee and the steamer. The steam generator line check valve should be
installed between the SteamerGard and the steamer.
3. Look at the flow indicating arrows on the strainers and check valves. Verify that
flow is toward the steamer.
4. Install the connecting lines and flush them before connecting them to the water
supply fittings on the steamer. Be sure the line from the Steamer Gard water
treatment system connects to the steam generator fitting on the SteamCraft 10.
Supply Lines
1. Check all connections for proper tightness. Remove the side panel to inspect
water connections inside the steamer (Figure 2-7).
2. Open the water supply valves.
3. Check all lines and connections for leakage, both inside and outside the steamer.
4. If no other inspections are being made at this time, replace the right side access
panel.
Furnishing and installing the gas supply lines, valves, regulators, and accessories is
the responsibility of the owner and/or installer. When installing the gas supply lines
and accessories, observe the following instructions.
1. Install the gas supply lines in accordance with local codes and/or the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition).
2. Refer to Figure 2-14 for Cleveland Range recommended layout of the gas supply
lines. Refer to Figure 2-2, Dimensions and Clearances for pressure data and
connection locations.
• On Atmospheric models (24-CGA-10), use 1/2-inch IPS gas supply pipe
and fittings.
• On Pressure models (24-CGP-10), use 3/4-inch IPS gas supply pipe and
fittings.
3. Install a manual shut off valve between the gas supply line and the
SteamCraft 10 gas connection (F on Figure 2-2)
4. Install a sediment trap (drip leg) in the gas supply line, then connect the
gas supply piping to the steam generator gas valve piping. In order to
protect the automatic gas control valve from condensation, the drip leg
should be close to the SteamCraft 10 gas connection.
5. If natural gas pressure exceeds 14" water column, a pressure regulating valve must
be installed in the gas supply plumbing to reduce the pressure to within the limits
specified in Gas Supply Requirements, on page 10.
6. If LP gas is supplied, use a gas pipe joint compound which is resistant to
LP gas. Refer to Figure 2-2 and note the pressure limit specified for LP
gas.
The gas lines and burner control connections should be inspected for proper
installation, and tested for leaks and proper operation:
• At Initial Installation
• As pa rt of regular maintenance procedures.
• As the first step in troubleshooting.
• After service or repair, the components affected should be inspected and
tested for leaks and proper operation.
LEAKING GAS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION
WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR LOSS OF
LIFE. If the installer smells gas, or suspects there is a gas
leak, immediately refer to the posted gas leak instructions.
The posted instructions are provided by the local gas 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 bui lding
Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If the gas supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department.
Pressure Testing The Gas Supply Lines
Do not permanently supply gas to these lines until they have been tested. When
testing these lines observe the following.
1. A gas lines and fittings assembled during installation are outside of the
SteamCraft 10. Check these connections for proper tightness.
2. Prepare the Steam Craft 10 valves and connections for the test pressure being
used. The same pressure criteria apply when testing lines prior to the manual
gas shut-off valve.
• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 14" water column (1/2 psi or 3.45 kPa).
• The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14" water column
(1/2 psi or 3.45 kPa).
3. Refer to Figure 2-14, and open the main shut-off valve for the steamer gas supply
line.
4. Test the pipe joints for leaks with soap and water solution.
• Paint pipe joints with rich soap and water solution.
• Bubbles indicate a gas leak.
• Tighten joints and/or replace component to stop gas leak.
• If you smell gas, turn off the main gas shut-off valve, and refer to Gas Leak
Instructions on page 43.
5. Reassemble any connections or piping disassembled in step 2. Repeat steps 3
and 4 to test these reassembled connections.
6. Close the main shut-off valve for the steamer gas supply line.
After the gas supply line is assembled, connected to the SteamCraft 10, and
pressure tested satisfactorily; bleed the air from the line. The SteamCraft 10
gas control module uses an intermittent gas pilot. The module sparks the pilot
igniter and sends gas to the pilot simultaneously. If the pilot flame sensor does
not detect pilot ignition within a few seconds, the control module stops both
pilot spark and gas flow. Bleeding the entire supply gas line through this type of
gas control system may take quite a long time. To save time, bleed the air
through a loosened fitting. Bleed the gas supply line by the following
procedure.
1. Turn off electrical power to the SteamCraft 10 at both the panel ON/OFF
switch (Figure 2-16), and the main disconnect switch (Figure 2-8, Rec ommended Electrical Layout).
2. Remove the left side access panel by removing the three mounting screws.
Save the screws.
• Verify that the automatic gas valve wiring connections are clean and tight.
• Verify that the manual ON/OFF valve of the automatic gas valve is in the
ON position (Figure 2-15).
3. If the main gas valve is too far from the unit for one man to both bleed the
line and operate the valve, arrange for an assistant to operate the valve.
4. Use the union fitting located just ahead of the gas valve as the bleed point.
This will minimize the amount of air remaining between the bleed point and
the automatic gas valve after bleeding the line. If it is not possible or
convenient to use this union fitting, select another fitting close to the
SteamCraft 10 automatic gas valve. To minimize the amount of air
remaining between the bleed point and the automatic gas valve, select a fitting
as close as possible to the valve. If the drip leg is close enough to the Steam
Craft 10, it may be used as an alternate bleed point.
5. Loosen the fitting enough to allow gas to escape. Open the main gas valve and
bleed the trapped air out of the gas supply line. Retighten the fitting.
6. Test the pipe joint for leaks with soap and water solution.
• Paint pipe joint with rich soap and water solution.
• Bubbles indicate a gas leak.
• Tighten joints to stop gas leak.
7. Install the left side access panel on the Steam Craft 10.
8. Leave the electrical power OFF at both the main disconnect switch and the
control panel ON/OFF switch.
9. The SteamCraft 10 is now ready for operational testing.
• If this test is part of initial installation, perform the Burner Ignition Test
before performing the Operating Tests.
• If this is part of component repair, perform the Burner Ignition Tests next If
the unit passes, it is ready to resume normal cooking operations
WARNING
DO NOT TRY TO LIGHT THE BURNERS OR PILOT
WITH A FLAME. The SteamCraft 10 has an electronic
ignition system which automatically lights the pilot and burners, senses the flame, and controls gas flow. This provides
precise burner control, safety ignition, and shutdown features.
DEATH. INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE may result
from an improperly adjusted gas control and ignition system.
Do not alter any adjust ments on this electronic control or
solenoid valve. If adjustment is required, contact an
authorized service center. Cleveland Range is in no way
responsible for the operation or safety of this equipment if the
controller, valve, or igniter probes are adjusted by anyone
other than a Cleveland Range authorized service
representative.
Burner Ignition Test
(Gas-Fired Models Only)
This is a functional test of the intermittent pilot ignition system. Pilot/burner
ignition is completely automatic. The test consists of starting the unit and setting
the controls for generating steam. The ignition system will either light the pilot and
burners, or fail.
1. If not already done during prior installation and testing:
a. Pressure test the gas supply lines as described in Pressure Testing Gas
Supply Lines.
b. Bleed trapped air from the gas supply lines as described in Bleed Air
From The Gas Supply Lines, above.

valve is in the ON position.
d. Turn the main manual gas shut-off valve to the ON position.
2. Turn ON the electrical power to the SteamCraft 10 at the main disconnect
switch.
NOTE: When initial power is supplied to the SteamCraft. 10 with the
ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, a 3-minute blowdown
cycle starts. This blowdown cycle stops when the ON/OFF
switch is changed to the ON position.
3. For Atmospheric Models Only (24-CGA-10 and 24-CEA-10): Turn
ON the electrical power to the SteamCraft 10 at the control panel ON/OFF
switch.
a. Water begins filling the steam generator. The preheating circuits are
energized but the burners do not light until water reaches the safety
level sensor.
b. After 5 to 7 minutes, water reaches the safety level sensor and the
burners light with a distinctive sound.
• If the burners light within 7 minutes of turning the unit ON, the igniter
control s are functioning. End this test procedure here.
• If the burners do not light within 9 minutes of turning the unit ON,
there may be air in the gas supply lines. Proceed to step 5.
4. For Pressure Models Only (24-CGP-10 and 24-CEP-10): Turn ON the
electrical power to the SteamCraft 10 at the control panel ON/OFF
switch.
a. The red indicator the switch lights and water fills the steam generator.
b. After about 5 minutes, the amber indicator the STEAM switch lights.
c. When the amber light turns on, pr ess the STEAM switch on the control
panel. The burners should light with a distinctive sound.
• If the burners light within one minute of pressing the Steam switch,
the igniter controls are functioning. End this test procedure here.
• If the burners do not light within one minute of pressing the Steam
switch, there may be air in the gas supply lines. Proceed to step 5.
5. Turn off electrical power to the SteamCraft 10, at both the panel ON/OFF
switch (Figure 2-16), and the main disconnect switch (Figure 2-8, Recommended Electrical Layout).
NOTE: When the burners fail to ignite, a safety circuit in the igniter
control de -energizes the system and closes the automatic gas
valve. The safety circuit resets when the SteamCraft 10 is
turned OFF and turned back ON.
6. Refer to Bleed Air from the Gas Supply Lines, and bleed any trapped air
from the gas supply lines.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 no more than three times. If the burners do not
light after the third attempt, call a Cleveland Range authorized service
representative to adjust the burner controls.
8. Turn off electrical power to the Steam Craft 10, at both the panel ON/OFF switch
(Figure 2-16), and the main disconnect switch (Figure 2-8, Recommended
Electrical Layout).
The Final Setup and Checkout procedures prepare a recently installed or repaired
SteamCraft 10 for operation. The procedures check proper electrical, gas, water,
and drain connections to the SteamCraft 10, and verify basic steamer operation.
Read through all pans of this procedure before starting.
CAUTION
Equipment damage and faulty operation will result if the
gas, water, or electrical supplies fall below requirements.
This may be caused by other equip ment on the same
supply lines. During all tests, adjustments, and inspection
of the SteamCraft 10, turn on all equipment drawing on
the same utility supply lines.
Proper operation of the SteamCraft 10 is dependent upon proper
installation.Performing the following checks after installation could avoid
unnecessary service calls.
1. Refer to the appropriate dimension drawing and verify that the specified
clearances are met
2. Verify that the unit is level front to back and side to side.
3. Check inside each cooking compartment for proper installation of the drain
screen, slide racks, and door gasket assembly. Be sure the drain is not blocked.
4. Clean the protective plastic film off the outside of the Steam Craft 10.
5. Refer to the Installation Check List on page 8, and verify that each task has been
completed in accordance with the referenced paragraphs. Pay particular attention
to:
• Voltage Requirements and Electrical Connections
• Water Quality and Pressure Requirements
• Free Air Drain Layout and Venting
• Gas Supply Pressure Requirements (if appl icable)
• Exhaust Hood Venting (if applicable)
6. Refer to Figure 2-8, and Table 2-3, and verify installation of proper size fuses or
breakers.
8. If using a SteamerGard water treatment system, refer to the SteamerGard
manual and start the system. Check that all valves between the SteamerGard and the SteamCraft 10 are open.
9. For gas fired models (24-CGA-10 and 24-CGP-10), turn on the main gas
supply valve only after the gas supply lines and the burner controls are
tested.
Perform these operating tests only after completing the Ins tallation Checks
and correcting any deficiencies. These operating tests consist of observing
various steamer functions in the MANUAL and the TIMED operating
modes. Read through all of the procedures before starting.
• The SteamCraft 10 has two cooking compartments and each compartment
has a separate control panel. The compartments can operate separately or
simultaneously. Throughout these tests, reference is made to only one
compartment control panel. Except when the instructions specify upper or
lower compartments, the controls of either or both panels can be used.
• The SteamCraft 10 control panels have either a Key Pad Timer or a Dial
Timer. The operating difference between the Dial and Key Pad Control
Panels is significant only in timed mode. To avoid confusion, a separate
Timer Testing procedure is provided for the Dial and Key Pad Control
Panels. In addition, SteamCraft 10 models 24-CGP-10 and 24-CEP-10
with pressure steam generators have a steam generator control panel.
The Key Pad Control Panel is shown in Figure 2-16, page 37. The
Timer Test for the key pad control panel starts on page 37.
The Dial Timer Control Panel is shown in Figure 2-18, page 38. The
Timer Test for the dial timer control panel starts on page 38.

Operating Test Preparation
1. Verify that electrical power to the SteamCraft 10, is turned OFF at both
the panel ON/OFF switch, and the main disconnect switch.
WARNING
Death, severe electrical shock or equipment damage
can result from touching any component inside unit
when main disconnect switch is in the on position.
Use extreme caution during testing with the access
cover removed.
2. Refer to Figure 2-7, and remove the right side access panel so the upper
and lower float assemblies are clearly visible.
1. The TIMED/MANUAL switch and TIMER settings are not significant while
the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
2. With the panel ON/OFF switch turned OFF, turn on electric power to the
SteamCraft 10 at the main disconnect switch. The steamer will immedi ately
start an automatic, 3-minute blowdown cycle. During the automatic blowdown
cycle, the condenser and drain valves are fully open, while the steam generator
and float assembly are flushed with fresh water.
3- Stop the blowdown cycle before it is complete by setting the ON/OFF switch to
the ON position. This energizes the operating control circuits, the red ON/OFF
indicator lights, blowdown stops, and the steam gener ator fills with water.
4. Restart the blowdown cycle by setting the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
Observe the following functions.
a. Look at the top of the float control. There should be a steady flow of water
entering the top of the float chamber through the spray nozzle.
b. Look at the one inch vent gap between the steamer drain pipe and the floor
drain. A steady stream of water should be draining from the steamer.
c. After about 3 minutes, the cycle is complete. Check the two points listed
above; there should be no water flow at either point
Operating Test Procedures
1. Verify that electrical power to the SteamCraft 10 is turned OFF at the panel
ON/OFF switch, and turned ON at the main disconnect switch.
2. Set both upper and lower compartment TIMED/MANUAL switches to the
TIMED position.
3. Set both upper and lower compartment timers to zero minutes.
• For Key Pad Control Panels: The timer display is blank while the ON/OFF
switch is set to OFF. If the timer is not zeroed (00:00) when power is turned
on in step 4, press and hold the CLEAR key on the key pad control panel
until the timer is zeroed.
• For Dial Timer Control Panels: If the Timer is not zeroed, turn the dial
counter clockwise until it points to the 0 mark
4. Set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. As the steam generator fills with
water, observe the following functions.
a. The red ON/OFF switch light turns on. The fill valve opens and water
begins to fill the steam generator.
b. After a few minutes, water appears in the bottom of the float cylinders as
the water level in the steam generator rises.
• Check that no water flows from the drain opening.
• Check for plumbing leaks.
5. When the water in the steam generator reaches a safe operating level
(approximately one inch from the bottom of the float cylinder):
• For Atmospheric Models (24-CEA-10 and 24-CGA-10), the preheat
cycle starts. The steam generator heating components turn on to heat
the water to stand-by temperature. These components cycle off and on
to maintain the preheat temperature.
• For Pressure Models (24-CEP-10 and 24-CGP-10), the amber light in
the STEAM switch turns on. The heating components remain OFF and
do not turn ON until the STEAM switch is pressed.
a. Water continues to fill the generator and the water level in the float
continues to rise.
b. After a few minutes, the water in the steam generator reaches the
upper limit and the fill valve closes.

DIFFERENCES AMONG MODELS
Atmospheric Generator Models
Pressure Generator Models
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
The compartment control panels are identical for all models. They consist of a
timer unit (key pad or dial) and a Timed/Manual switch. The steam generator
controls are identical for all models, except the units with pressur ized steam
generators.
The 24-CGA-10 and 24-CEA-10 are atmospheric generator models. On these
models, the ON/OFF switch both energizes the unit controls and starts the steam
generator water fill and preheating cycles.
The 24-CGP-10 and 24-CEP-10 are pressure generator models. In addition to the
ON/OFF switch on these models, there are also a Steam switch and a Pressure
Gage. The ON/OFF switch energizes the unit controls and starts the steam generator
water fill cycle. The Steam switch initiates the steam generating cycle.
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 Operati onal Safety section outlines the minimum safety policies that
should be considered when using one or more SteamCraft 10's. It is assumed that
any operational safety program must be tailored to the specific site and use of the
equipment. Such a program will
pay handsome dividends in equipment life, performance, and reduced downtime.
Burn hazards are present in any professional food service operation. This is
especially so when steam is used in the cooking process. When using the SteamCraft
10 Steamer, observe the following precautions.
• Remember at all times that steam can cause severe bums.
• Do not open the steamer door before steam flow stops.
• Stand back when opening the compartment door. 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 heat-proof gloves.
Wet or damp gloves conduct heat, and may cause burns when touching hot items.
The SteamCraft 10 requires a minimum of service if properly operated and
maintained by trained personnel. The following steps will help keep the steamer in a
safe, efficient operating condition.
1. Train all personnel who will use the steamer. Make sure personnel know how to
operate the steamer, clean the interior and exterior, drain the unit, and descale the
steam generator.
2. Operating personnel must be able to recognize problems and know how to take
corrective action as outlined in the Chapter 4 troubleshooting chart.
3. Conduct regular steamer inspections.Check for water line leaks, door seal and
drain leaks, clogged drain, steam gener ator scale buildup, and steamer control
malfunctions.
4. Follow the instructions for steamer maintenence in Chapter 4.
5. Before each use of the SteamCraft 10, inspect the drain and screen for blockage.
Inspect the door gasket assembly, and slide racks for proper installation and
cleanliness.
6. Allow only ClevelandRange authorized service representatives to service the
SteamCraft 10.
7. Use only factory authorized repair parts. This will maintain Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) and/or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certi fication,
and all approvals to protect warranty coverage.

sounds the buzzer, but IT DOES NOT TURN THE STEAM OFF AFTER
THE ALARM SOUNDS.
Blowdown is the process of removing loose sediment and soft scale from the steam
generator before it hardens. The SteamCraft 10 employs a complete automatic
blowdown and an optional incremental blowdown.
• Complete. Every time the operator set the ON/OFF switch from ON to OFF, the
SteamCraft 10 automatically drains and flushes the steam generator for 3 minutes.
All sediment and soft scale is washed down the drain
• Incremental (Optional). During operation, the drain valve automatically cycles
open for one second each minute. This sudden and frequent flow of water flushes
out bottom sediment and dilutes the TDS concentrate. This option is recommended
if there is no SteamerGard installed and the supply water is hard.
Usually the SteamCraft 10 main disconnect switch is left on. If the main disconnect
switch is in the off position, turn it on as follows.
1. Check that the water supply valves are open.

CAUTION
Steam leaks around the door, cooking compartment
flooding, reduced cooking performance, and
compartment implosion can be caused by a blocked
drain or drain screen. Inspect and clean the drain and
drain screen before each use. Never operate the steamer
without the screen in place.
At the back of the cooking compartment, the drain is covered by a movable drain
screen. Refer to Figure 3-4. The screen prevents large food particles from entering and
blocking the drain line. Any blockage of the drain line or screen can reduce drainage
from the cooking compartment resulting in reduced cooking performance, equipment
damage, and a hazard to the operator. A blocked or slow drain may cause:
• Hot water to collect in the compartment and spill out when the compartment door
opens.
• Pressure fluctuations in the compartment, resulting in steam leaks around the door
gasket, or compartment implosion.
• Reduced convection in the compartment, reducing cooking performance.
Before every steaming operation, inspect the cooking compartment and remove any
food scraps or debris from the racks, walls, and floor of the compartment. Pay
particular attention to the drain and drain screen.
1. DO NOT USE the steamer if water stands in the drain opening. Refer to Chapter
4, drain cleaning instructions immediately.
2. Remove any food or debris that is blocking the drain or screen.
Figure 3-4. Compartment Drain Screen
3. Be sure the screen covers the drain. The screen prevents large pieces of food from
entering and blocking the drain.
Compartments
To preheat the Steam Craft 10. run a brief cooking cycle with no food in the cooking
compartment. This heats the compartment to cooking temper ature, and brings all
steaming functions to full capacity before cooking begins. The temperature
compensation circuit built into the key pad timer is an automatic preheat feature. As
a result, preheating is not usually required with the key pad control panel; however,
preheating can be used:
• At the beginning of a shift to prepare the steamer for operation.
• Before cooking in manual mode, to bring the cooking compartment up to cooking
temperature.
• Before cooking in timed mode, to reduce the automatic temperature compensation
time.
• Between cooking batches to maintain cooking temperature in the compartment.
Preheat the SteamCraft 10 by the following procedure.
1. BEFORE PREHEATING, inspect and clean the compartment. After preheating,
the compartment will be too hot to inspect and clean safely. Refer to Inspect the
Cooking Compartment on page 47.
2. Check the control panel settings.
• The ON/OFF switch is in the ON (top) position.
• The TIMED/MANUAL switch is in the TIMED position.
• The timer is set to 00:00.

(Automatic Blowdown)
Blowdown occurs automatically when the unit is turned off at the ON/OFF switch.
During blowdown, the steam generator and float control are rinsed with fresh water,
flushing deposits from the heating elements and generator bottom. Blowdown at
frequent intervals helps decrease mineral buildup in the steam generator, and
reduces the frequency of descaling and other maintenance.
Blowdown Frequency
The supply water quality determines how often blowdown must be performed. The
higher the feed water TDS and particulates, the more frequently blowdown must be
performed. Refer to Table 2-2. Minimum Water Quality
Requirements on page 11. If the local water supply meets the minimum supply
water quality standards, observe the following guidelines to establish proper
blowdown scheduling, and maintain warranty coverage.
• For units without a SteamerGard water treatment system, blowdown must be
performed after every 4 hours of operation and at the end of each shift as
specified in the Shut Down and Cleaning procedure.
• For units with a SteamerGard water treatment system, blowdown must
be performed after each shift as specified in the Shut Down and Cleaning
procedure.
When the SteamCraft 10 is turned off, the blowdown cycle starts and runs
automatically. The complete cycle takes approximately 3 minutes.

drain screen. Refer to Figure 3-8. The screen prevents large food particles
from entering and blocking the drain line. Any blockage of the drain line or
screen can reduce drainage from the cooking compartment resulting in
reduced cooking performance, equipment damage, and a hazard to the
operator. A blocked or slow drain may cause:
• Hot water to collect in the compartment and spill out when the
compartment door opens.
• Pressure fluctuations in the compartment, resulting in steam leaks around
the door gasket, or compa rtment implosion.
• Reduced convection in the compartment, reducing cooking performance.
Before every steaming operation, inspect the cooking compartment and
remove any food scraps or debris from the racks, walls, and floor of the
compartment. Pay particular attention to the drain and drain screen.
1. DO NOT USE the steamer if water stands in the drain opening. Refer to
Steam leaks around the door, cooking compartment
flooding, reduced cooking performance, and

CHAPTER 5. COMPONENT AND CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
This chapter is exclusively for Cleveland Range authorized service representatives.
These representatives should be experienced in the service, repair and maintenance
of food service equipment in general, and with Cleveland Range equipment
specifically. The service representative must thoroughly understand Chapters 1
through 4 of this manual before applying any of the inf ormation or instructions in
this chapter. This chapter contains:
• A descriptive theory of operation
• An Overview of SteamCraft 10 electrical circuits
• A functional description of major components
Service technicians unfamiliar with SteamCraft 10 oper ating functions should study
this section in conjunction with Chapter 3. Service technicians already familiar with
the SteamCraft 10 may use this section to refresh their knowledge of the component
functions, or proceed directly to the component testing in Chapter 6.
Models Covered In This Chapter
This chapter covers SteamCraft 10 models with atmospheric steam gener ators:
• Model 24-CGA-10 - Gas-fired atmospheric steam generator
• Model 24-CEA-10-Electric atmospheric steam generator
Figures And Illustrations
SteamCraft 10 Variations
Most illustrations in this chapter are on the same page or near the text in which they
are first referenced. However, the Electrical Schematics and Wiring Diagrams are
included with the other service drawings in Chapter 7. These electrical drawings ar e
Figures 7-16 through 7-23.
There are two areas of variation among SteamCraft 10 steamers: steam generator
power source, and control panel type. The differences associated with these
variations are summarized below. Throughout this chapter, notations identify
sections that only apply to specific units or models. Sections without these notations
apply to all models and variations.
Steam Generator Power Source
The SteamCraft 10 steam generators are heated either by gas or electricity. There
are many pans. functional, and service differences between units with electric steam
generators and units with gas-fired steam generators. Aside from the obvious
difference between generator heating components, the major difference between gas
and electric models is the number of steam generators in each unit The number of
generators effects the composition, control, and function of the water supply,
preheating, steam supply, and rinse systems.
• Units with electric powered steam generators have a separate generator for each
cooking compartment.
• Units with gas fired steam generators have one generator that supplies steam to
either or both cooking compartments.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Steam Generator Water Filling Cycle
Figure 5-1 - Float Assembly
Printed 3/93 Cleveland Range, Inc.
Control Panel Type
All model Steam Craft 10's have either Key Pad Control Panels or Dial Timer
Control Panels. There are a few component and functional differences between units
with the Key Pad and Dial Time Control Panels.
• Units with Key Pad Control Panels have electronic timers with digital displays.
The electronic timers are powered by a 24 VAC transformer. These units also
have a compartment thermostat which effects the electronic timer countdown.
• Units with Dial Timer Control Panels have mechanical timers, and do not require
a separate power supply. A separate buzzer and three second timer are connected
to the mechanical timer. These units do not have a compartment thermostat.
When troubleshooting and testing SteamCraft 10 components, an under standing of
overall SteamCraft 10 operation is helpful. This section describes equipment and
component functions that occur during SteamCraft 10 operation-
Refer to Figures 5-1 and 5-2. The water filling cycle keeps the steam generator
filled with water, and protects the water heating components (electric heating
elements or gas-fired heat exchanger). The water level in the float cylinder
simulates the water level in the steam generator.
A. (Figure 5-2) When the ON/OFF switch is first set to the ON position, the water
fill valve opens, the drain valve closes, and water begins to fill the st eam
generator. After a few minutes, water appears in the bottom of the float cylinder.
As the water level rises in the steam generator so does the water level in the float
cylinder.
B. When the water level is approximately one inch above the bottom of the float
cylinder, the water level in the steam generator has reached a safe operating
level, covering the water heating components. The preheat cycle starts and water
continues to fill the generator. The water level in the float continues to rise.
C. After a few minutes,the water in the float cylinder reaches the upper limit -
approximately one inch below the top of the cylinder. The fill valve closes and
water stops filling the generator. Preheating continues.
D. As the hot water evaporates from the generator during preheating or steaming,
the water level drops. When it drops below the upper level enough to close the
upper float switch, the fill valve opens and refills the generator. This fill cycle
repeats continuously during the steaming and preheat cycles; until the ON/OFF
switch is set to the OFF position.
• The gas-fired Model 24-CGA-10 has one steam generator component group. The
steam generator supplies steam to either or both of the cooking compartments.
(Refer to Figure 5-6)
• The electric heater Model 24-CEA-10 has a steam generator component group for
each cooking compartment. Although each steam generator group operates
independently, both upper and lower water fill cycles start simultaneously when
the ON/OFF switch is first set to the ON position.

A. When the ON/OFF switch is first set to the ON position, the preheat circuits
are energized. However, while the water in the steam generator is below
the safe operating level, the heating components do not turn on.
B. When a safe operating level is reached, the heating elements or heat
exchanger tubes are covered with water. The lower float switch closes and
activates the heating components. Heating continues until the water
temperature in the generator reaches 185 F.
C. When the water temperature reaches 185°F. the preheat side of the
preheat thermostat switch opens and the heating components turn off. The
switch closes and restarts the heating components when the water
temperature drops below 185 F. This preheating cycle continues
simultaneously with the water filling cycle until the steaming cycle starts or
the ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position.
• The gas -fired Model 24-CGA-10 has one steam generator which supplies
steam to either or both cooking compartments. The ON/OFF switch initiates
the fill and preheat cycles. The preheat cycle stops when the ON/OFF
switch is set to OFF, or when the control panel of either cooking
compartment starts the steaming cycle.
• The electric heater Model 24-CEA-10 has a steam generator for each
cooking compartment. Unless the ON/OFF switch stops operation of both
generators, each independently continues the fill and preheat cycles unt il its
associated compartment control starts the steaming cycle.

Steaming Functions For Model 24-CEA-10
The steaming cycle heats water in the steam generator to steaming temperature
(above 217°F), and fills the cooking compartment with steam. The steaming cycle
operates simultaneously with the water fill cycle to maintain a continuous flow of
cooking steam. A separate steam generator supplies steam to each cooking
compartment (Figure 5-4).
A. When the ON/OFF switch is first set to ON, the water fill and preheat cycles start
for both the upper and lower steam generators. These cycles operate for each
generator as described on pages 72 and 74.
B. The upper steam generator starts a steaming cycle when its TIMED/MANUAL
switch is set to MANUAL, or a cooking time is set in TIMED mode. For this
example, the upper TIMED/MANUAL switch is set to MANUAL. While the
upper steam generator starts its steaming cycle, the lower generator continues its
preheat cycle. Refer to Figure 5-5.
1.The MANUAL setting by-passes the Preheat Thermostat, and ener gizes the
upper steaming circuit directly. The upper heaters turn on They remain on
even when water temperature reaches 185°F and opens the Preheat
Thermostat
2. In a few minutes, the heater elements increase water temperature from 185°F
to steaming temperature (above 217°F). Steam builds in the upper generator
and expands into the upper cooking compartment.
C. The lower steam generator starts a steaming cycle when its TIMED/MANUAL
switch is set to MANUAL, or a cooking time is set in TIMED mode. Continuing

1. The TIMED setting by-passes the Preheat Thermostat, and energizes
the lower steaming circuit through the timer circuit. During the timer
countdown the heaters turn on and remain on even when the water
temperature reaches 185°F and opens the Preheat Thermostat. Steam
builds in the upper generator and expands into the upper cooking
compartment.
• For Dial Timers: The countdown starts as soon as the timer is set and
the dial is released.
• For Key Pad Timers: The countdown delays until the compartment
reaches cooking temperature. The normally open Compartment
Thermostat closes and allows the timer countdown.
2. When the timer reaches zero, the lower steam generator returns to
preheat mode. The upper compartment continues its steaming cycle
unaffected by the operations of the lower compartment.
D. Each steam generator continues operating in accordance with its respective
control panel settings. During operation, the steaming cycle of either
generator can be stopped individually if:
• Its timer counts down to zero (TIMED mode only).
• Its High Temperature Switch detects heating element over temperature
and opens.
• The water level in its steam generator drops below the safety limit and
the Lower Float Switch (L.W.C.O.) opens.
• Its control panel settings are changed.
E. When the ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position both upper and lower
steamer control circuits are deenergized. The water fill, preheat, and
steaming cycles stop for both steam generators. The blowdown cycle starts
24-CGA-10
for upper and lo wer steam generators simultaneously. The blow-down
cycle is explained on page 81.
Steaming Functions For Model 24-CGA-10
The steaming cycle heats water in the steam generator to steaming temperature (above 217°F), and fills the cooking compartments) with steam. The
steaming cycle operates simultaneously with the water fill cycle to maintain a
continuous flow of cooking steam.
Refer to Figure 5-6. One steam generator supplies steam to either or both
cooking compartments. Although both cooking compartments draw steam
from the same generator, each compartment operates independently during
the steaming cycle. The Compartment Steam and Steam Relief Valves direct
steam flow to either or both cooking compartments. Refer to Figure 5-7.
The steam generator starts a steaming cycle when the TIMED/MANUAL
switch of either control panel is set to MANUAL, or when a cooking time is
set in TIMED mode on either control panel. In the following description, the
lower compartment is set for manual operation, and the upper for timed
operation.

A. When the ON/OFF switch is first set to ON the water fill and preheat cycles
start and operate as described on pages 72 and 74.
B. When the lower TIMED/MANUAL switch is se t to MANUAL, the lower
compartment steaming circuits are energized directly.
1. The normally closed lower compartment condenser and steam valves open.
Condenser spray starts flushing the condenser drain fitting. The steam path
opens between the lower compartment and the steam generator (Figure 5-8,
dark shading).
2. Relay R2 is energized. Relay R3 and the burner ignition and control
components are energized through the closed R2 contactor. This bypasses the
preheat side of the Preheat Thermostat (dark shading). Burner ignition and
control operations are explained on page 79.
3. The burner fan starts and the gas burners ignite. In a few minutes, the burners
increase water temperature from 185°F to steaming temperature
(above 217 F).
• Water Temperature over 185°F activates the Preheat Thermostat. The
preheat side of the switch opens, closing the R4 (Steam Relief) side of the
switch (Figure 5-8, light shading).
• With both R3 and R4 relays energized, the R3 and R4 contactors are closed.
With both contactors closed, the normally open Steam Relief Valve closes
to direct steam into the lower cooking compartment. Refer to Figures 5-7
and 5-8.
4. Steam builds in the generator and expands into the lower cooking
compartment. The steam generator steaming cycle continues simultaneously
with the water fill cycle.

C. When the upper cooking compartment is set for a period of timed
steaming, the upper compartment steaming circuits are energized
through the timer circuit. The lower compartment continues MANUAL
steaming as described in step B.
• For Dial Timers: The countdown starts as soon as the timer is set
and the dial is released.
• For Key Pad Timers: The countdown delays until the compartment
reaches cooking temperature. The normally open Compartment
Thermostat closes and allows the timer countdown.
1. The upper compartment condenser and steam valves function
exactly as the valves in the lower compartment (described in B.I.
above). Steam from the generator passes through the upper steam
valve into the upper cooking compartment (Figures 5-7).
2. Relay R1 is energized. The R1 contactor closes, by -passing the
preheat side of the Preheat Thermostat in parallel with the R2
contactor. Refer to Figure 5-9. With both relays R1 and R2
energized, the closed contactors R1 and R2 also activate the second
stage of the gas valve, increasing gas flow to the burners.
• With one compartment set for steaming, the gas valve primary
stage supplies gas for a combustion rate of 70,000 to 75,000
BTU/hr.
• With both compartments set for steaming, the gas valve secondary
stage increases gas flow for a total combustion rate of 125,000
BTU/hr.
3. When the upper timer reaches zero, the condenser and steam valves
dose, stopping steam flow through the upper cooking compart ment.
Relay R1 is de-energized, closing the secondary stage of the gas
valve. The steam generator continues its steaming cycle at a lower
combustion rate.
D. When the ON/OFF switch is set to OFF, the water fiIl and steaming
cycles stop. The blowdown cycle starts as explained on page 81.

Partial Schematic
Gas Burner Ignition and Combustion Functions
Model 24-CGA-10
Gas-fired SteamCraft 10's have a blower powered, two stage combustion
system with an intermittent pilot igniter coupled to an automatic gas valve
and control module. This system initiates and controls gas flow, ignition,
and combustion. The burners heat the water in the steam generator through
the heat exchanger. The blower forces the combustion gasses up the heat
exchanger tubes which run through the entire height of the steam generator.
The control module regulates igniter and gas valve operation.
A. During preheat and steaming cycles, the combustion system is energized
through combined action of the Lower Float Switch (L.W.C.O.) and
various other components. The normally open lower float switch closes
only when generator water level covers the heat exchanger tubes.
• During Preheat; The L.W.C.O. Switch energizes the combustion
system components through the normally closed Preheat Switch
(Figure 5-3). This switch opens and closes to control the preheating
as described on page 74.
• During Steaming: The L.W.C.O. Switch energizes the combustion
system components through the normally open R1 and/or R2 relay
contactors. These contactors remain closed as long as their respective
compartment control panels are set for steaming. Operation of these
relays is described on page 77.
B. Refer to Figure 5-10. When the combustion circuits are energized, the
ignition and combustion sequence starts.
1. The energized relay R3 closes its R3 contactors, starting the combus
tion fan motor.
2. When the combustion fan reaches operating speed, the air prover
switch senses air flow and closes, energizing the control module.
3. The energized control module counts down a 45 second delay and
starts burner ignition. The module simultaneously sparks the pilot
igniter and sends gas to the pilot.
4. When the igniter sensor detects pilot ignition, the control module
opens gas flow to the burners.
5. If the pilot flame sens or does not detect pilot ignition within 90
seconds, the control module stops both pilot spark and gas flow.
C. The two stage gas valve enables operation at two different burner
capacities.
• When both cooking compartments are steaming, the burners operate
at 100% capacity (125,000 BTU/hr).
• When only one cooking compartment is Steaming, the burners
operate at 60% capacity (75,000 BTU/hr).

Condenser Operation
Condenser valve operation differs slightly between the model 24-CEA-10 and model
24-CGA-10 SteamCraft 10's. The difference has no effect on cooking performance or
operating efficiency. When troubleshooting the drain or condenser components, the
differences may cause some confusion. Refer to Figures 5-11 and 5-12.
A. In the 24-CGA-10 models, the condenser solenoid valve is energized through the
TIMED/MANUAL switch only. The condenser solenoid valve opens only when the
TIMED/MANUAL switch is set to MAN UAL, or when a cooking time is set in
TIMED mode. It does not open during the preheat cycle.

cycle, and remains open to completely drain each steam generator. The drain valve
operations are explained on page 81.
Models 24-CGA-10 and 24-CEA-10 SteamCraft 10 Service Manual Chapter 5 Page 81
Drain Valve Functions
The drain solenoid valve, acting with the water fill valve, performs three critical
steam generator functions. The valve directs water flow to fill. dr ain. and rinse the
steam generator. Refer to Figure 5-13. The valve has one water inlet and two
outlets. One outlet directs water to the drain manifold. The other
directs water flow to the steam generator.
A. Draining the Steam Generator. The solenoid drai n valve is normally open
directing water flow to the drain manifold. When the unit is turned on. the drain
valve is open and the water fill valve is closed.
B. Filling the Steam Generator. When the solenoid is energized, it closes the valve.
In this position, the valve directs water flow into the steam generator. The water
fill valve opens to fill the generator.
C. 3-Minute Blowdown. During blowdown, the drain valve opens to direct water
flow to the drain manifold. The water fill valve also opens. The supply water
rushes through the drain valve and pulls the water from the generator. This
induced flow and turbulence flushes sediment from the steam generator.

shift, only the ON/OFF switch is set to OFF. The main power switch remains ONDuring such a shutdown, the steam generator and float rinse cycle runs automatically.
Switching the ON/OFF switch to OFF removes power from most of the steamer
circuit components, and activates the 3-minute timer. The following circuit operations
occur.
1. (Model 24-CEA-10 only) The transformer and high voltage circuits on the line
side of the heater contactor remain energized.
2. The red indicator light on the ON/OFF switch turns OFF.
3. The condenser solenoid deenergizes, closing the condenser valve.
4. The drain solenoid deenergizes, opening the drain valve.
5. The 3-minute timer circuit is energized and the timer starts to count down While
the timer counts down, the rinse cycle occurs. This cycle is the same for both gasfired 24-CGA-10 and electric heater 24-CEA-10 models. In the electric models,
both the upper and lower generator/float
sets are rinsed.
a. The fill solenoid is energized, opening the fill valve. This injects a high
velocity water stream from the valve into the drain valve, causing rapid draining
of the steam generator. Rapid draining causes turbulence

in the generator to mix and remove bottom sediments with the drain
water.
b. The rinse solenoid is energized, opening the rinse valve. The rinse
valve injects water into the top of the float cylinder. Rinse flow
through the cylinder flushes sediment that collects during operation.
c. After the 3-minute timer counts down to zero, the timer opens the
circuit to the fill and rinse solenoids, closing these valves. The drain
valve remains open to drain any residual water from the system.
STEAMCRAFT 10 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
Model 24-CEA-10
There are two parts to the SteamCraft 10 Model 24-CEA-10 circuitry: the
high voltage circuits and the 120 VAC circuits. In the units with the Key Pad
Control Panel, an additional transformer provides 24 VAC to the electronic
timer.
High Voltage Circuit
The high voltage circuit draws power directly from the external supply lines
to power the heater elements, the dryer element, and the primary of the
transformer. The high voltage value depends on local supply line voltage. The
required characteristics of the external power supply are listed on the Product
Identification Plate, as described in Chapter 1.
While the main power switch is ON, line power energizes the primary of the
transformer through 2-amp fuses. When the control circuits call for operation,
contacts of the heater contactor close to power the heater elements.
120 VAC Circuit
The transformer secondary supplies power to the 120 VAC components
through the ON/OFF switch. The 120 VAC components include:
• Water Fill Solenoid Valves • Heater Contactor
• Condenser Solenoid Valves • 3-minute timer
• Rinse Solenoid Valves • Timer control circuits
• Drain Solenoid Valves • Preheat Thermostat
• Float Assembly
The float assembly switches, the timer, the preheat thermostat, and the
TIMED/MANUAL switch control operation of the 120 VAC components.
STEAMCRAFT 10 ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
Model 24-CGA-10
There are two parts to the SteamCraft 10 Model 24-CGA-10 circuitry: the
115 VAC circuits and the 24 VAC circuits.
The 115 VAC circuit draws power directly from the external supply lines.
The required characteristics of the external power supply are listed on the
Product Identi fication Plate, as described in Chapter 1. The 115 VAC circuit
includes all or the electrical components except those of the Gas Burner and

and Control system.
In units with the Key Pad Control Panel, an additional transformer provides 24 VAC
to the electronic timer.
All model SteamCraft 10's have either Key Pad Control Panels or Dial Timer Control
Panels. Key Pad Control Panels have electronic timers. Dial Timer Control Panels
have mechanical timers. Either type of timer controls the steaming cycle when the
unit is in the TIMED mode.
• In uni ts with the electronic key pad timer, a 24 VAC transformer supplies power to
the timer. The compartment thermal switch prevents timer countdown until the
compartment temperature rises above 190°F. A buzzer within the electronic timer
signals the end of tim er countdown.
• Units with the mechanical dial timer use a separate 3-second timer and buzzer to
signal the end of the cooking cycle. These units do not have a compartment
thermostat.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
This section briefly describes ihe major SteamCraft 10 circuit components and their
functions. Refer to the drawings in Chapter 7 for the installation location, assembly
details, and parts ordering information for each of these components.
When servicing, repairing, or replacing any component, use only Cleveland Range
authorized repair parts and procedures. Check that the repair part has the correct part
number and is compatible with the power supply rating on the SteamCraft 10 Product
Identification Plate (Chapter 1). Verify proper wiring connections of newly replaced
parts before energizing the unit. Refer to the schematic and wiring diagrams on the
unit or at the end of Chapter 7.
Terminal Block
The terminal block provides connection points from the external electrical supply to
the steamer.
• Model 24-CEA-10. The three-terminal block has connections to the transformer
• Model 24-CGA-10. The two-terminal block has connections to the transformer
and heater contactor.

3-Minute Timer
ON/OFF Switch
Power from the main transformer connects to the center terminals of the
double-pole/double-throw ON/OFF switch. In the ON position, as shown in
Figure 5-15, the switch connects the center terminals to the bottom
terminals as viewed from the terminal side (rear) of the switch.
• In units with the electronic key pad timer, the ON/OFF switch in the ON
position supplies power to one side of the timer countdown cir cuits
through the compartment thermal switch. The ON/OFF switch also
supplies power to the 24-volt transformer which provides control power
to the key pad timer.
• In units with the mechanical dial timer, the ON/OFF switch set to ON
supplies power to one side of the 3-second timer and buzzer for operation
by the timer control
Setting the ON/OFF switch to OFF removes power from the steamer components that control the various operating cycles, and starts the 3-minute
timer circuit, which controls the steam generator blowdown and float cylin der rinse cycle.
TIMED/MANUAL Switch
Setting the ON/OFF switch to ON supplies power to the center terminals of
the TIMED/MANUAL switch of both cooking compartments. Refer to
Figure 5-16. When the this switch is set to MANUAL, the compartment
steaming circuits are energized directly. When this switch is set to TIMED.
the compartment steaming circuits are energized through the timer (with a
steaming time set). The components in the compartment steaming circuit
differ for each model.
• For Model 24-CEA-10: the condenser solenoid and heater contactor are
energized, through the lower float (L.W.C.O.) switch and the high
temperature limit switches when all are closed.
• For Model 24-CGA-10: the compartment steam valve, the relays R1
(upper) and R2 (lower), and the condenser solenoid are in this circuit
This model has only one steam generator and one float. Therefore, the
lower float (L.W.C.O.) switch is part of burner control circuit, not the
compartment steaming circuit.
During shutdown, the 3-minute timer controls the fill and rinse solenoids.
Setting the ON/OFF switch to OFF starts the 3-minute timer and energizes
timer terminals 2-3. During countdown, the timer contacts close the blowdown circuit compone nts. After 3 minutes, the contacts of the timer open to
remove power from the blowdown circuit The components in the
blowdown circuit differ for each model.
• For Model 24-CEA-10: The 3-Minute Timer energizes the rinse valves to
flush both float cylinders, and relay R1. When the R1 contactors close,
both water fill valves open for blowdown of both steam generators.
• For Model 24-CGA-10: The 3-Minute Timer energizes the fill valve for
steam generator blowdown and the rinse valve to flush the float cylinde r.

Float Assembly
The float assembly monitors the water level in the steam generator, and controls the
water fill valve and water heating circuits accordingly.
Refer to Figure 5-17. The float assembly is a sealed cylinder containing the float
switch assembly. The water line at the bottom of the cylinder connects to the bottom
of the steam generator. The pressure equalizing line at the top of the cylinder
connects to the top of the steam generator. These two lines accurately maintain the
same water level in the float cylinder as in the steam generator.
Refer to Figure 5-18. The float switch assembly has an outer float which slides along
an inner shaft. The float chambers of the outer float each contain a small magnet.
The inner shaft houses two magnetic switches. As the floats rise and fall with the
water level, the magnets cause the switches to open and close.
The lower float magnet controls the lower float switch, the Low Water Cut-Off
(L.W.C.O.) switch. This switch is normally open. When the water level in the
generator rises to cover the water heating components, the magnet closes the
L.W.C.O. switch allowing heater/burner operation. During normal operation the
L.W.C.O. switch remains closed. If a malfunction occurs and water level drops
below the safe operating level, the lower float magnet opens the low water level
switch to remove power from either the water heating components.
• For Model 24-CEA-10: The L.W.C.O. switch is part of the compartment steaming
circuit in the 120VAC control circuit. This switch controls the heating element
contactor through the high limit switches.
• For Model 24-CGA-10: The L.W.C.0. switch is part of the 24 VAC combustion
control circuit. This switch controls power to ignition and combustion control
components.
During all operations except blowdown, the normally closed upper float switch
maintains the proper water level in the steam generator.
• While the upper float chamber is below the upper switch set point, the high level
float switch is closed. While the switch is closed, water fills the generator.
• When the water level in the float cylinder raises the upper float chamber to the
upper switch set point, the magnet in the upper chamber opens the high level
switch. This doses the fill valve and stops water flow into the generator.

Rinse Solenoid Valves
Drain Solenoid Valves
Water Fill Solenoid Valves
Condenser Solenoid Valves
The rinse solenoid valve controls water flow to the float cylinder during generator
blowdown. The rinse solenoid operates only with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position. The 3-minute timer controls operation of the rinse solenoid valve. Refer to
3-minute timer text on page 85.
During steaming operations, sediment collects in the float cylinder. Sediment
buildup in the cylinder impedes smooth operation of the floats as the water level
rises and falls. The rinse flow flushes sediment that collects during operation from
the cylinder. Without this rinse, sticky float operation will cause improper water
levels, heater burnout, and other malfunctions and damage.
The drain solenoid valve controls water flow from the steam generator to the drain
fitting at the bottom of the unit. Model 24-CGA-10 gas-fired units have one drain
valve. Model 24-CEA-10 electric heater units have two drain valves, one for each
generator. Operation of this valve is detailed on page 81.
The fill solenoid valve controls water flow into the steam generator. The valve
opens and closes as the water level fluctuates in the float cylinder and generator.
During steaming operations, the fill valve cycles approximately two to five times
each minute.
• While the water level in the float cylinder is below the upper limit, the high level
float switch is closed. This energizes the solenoid, which opens the valve.
• When the water level in the float cylinder reaches the upper limit, the high level
float switch opens. This deenergizes the solenoid, which closes the valve.
• During the blowdown cycle, the 3-minute timer energizes the solenoid, opening
the valve. Refer to 3-Minute Timer on page 85.
The valve operates at a maximum water pressure of 60 psi. Higher pressures cause
unnecessary valve wear and require frequent valve replacement. If necessary, install
a pressure regulator set at 50 psi.
The condenser solenoid valve controls cold water flow to the condenser at the back
of each cooking compartment. The valve injects cold water into the condenser to
cool the vapor and fluid draining from the steamer. This reduces pressure in the
compartment drain. Low pressure in the drain maintains optimum performance of
the steamer. With a hot or warm water supply connected to the condenser solenoid
valve, the condenser WILL NOT function properly, and equipment damage may
result Operation of this valve is detailed on page 80.

Preheat Thermostat
Key Pad and Dial Timers
The preheat thermostat monitors steam generator temperature and controls
heating component operation during the preheat cycle. The thermostat is a
double throw, thermal snap switch mounted on the steam generator. The
switch operates at 185°F. When steam generator temperature reaches 185°F,
the normally closed preheat side of the switch opens and stops the heating
components. When the steam generator temperature drops, the switch closes
and restarts the heating components. This cycle continues until the unit is
turned off.
• For Model 24-CEA-10: Only the normally closed preheat side of the switch
is used, and the switch functions as described above.
• For Model 24-CGA-10: Born sides of the switch are used. The normally
closed side functions as described above. The normally open side is
connected to the relay R3 which controls fan motor operation and steam
relief valve operation (with relay R4).
The timer controls power to the compartment steaming circuit during timed
operation (the TIMED/MANUAL switch in the TIMED position). In timed
mode, the timer starts and stops the Steam Craft 10 steaming cycle automatically. The timer circuit is slightly different for electronic key pad timers and
dial timers.
Electronic Key Pad Timer
Operating the electronic key pad timer is explained in Chapter 3. After setting
the steaming time and pressing the START/STOP key, the steaming cycle
starts.
1. Contacts in the timer close to energize the compartment steaming circuit.
2. While the cooking compartment temperature is lower than l90°F, the timer
pause circuit delays the countdown. PAUS and the set time alternately
display on the panel.
3. When the cooking compartment temperature rises above 190°F, the
compartment thermal switch closes and the timer begins to count down, as
indicated on the panel display.
4. When the timer counts down to 00:00, timer contacts open to de -energize
the heater contactor and condenser solenoid. The panel buzzer sounds to
indicate the end of the steaming cycle.
• Pressing the START/STOP key halts the buzzer and resets the timer
circuits and display to the previously selected time.
• The CLEAR key resets the timer circuits to 00:00.

Compartment Thermostat (electronic key pad units only)
The compartment thermal switch delays timer countdown until compartment
temperature is above 190°F. This compensates for frozen or partially thawed food.
Opening the door during the cooking cycle also can require additional cooking
time. The compartment thermal switch controls the pause circuit in the timer.
Mechanical Timer
Operating the dial timer is explained in Chapter 3. After selling the dial, the timed
steaming cycle starts. Timer contacts L1-T1 close to energize the condenser
solenoid and heater contactor. See Figure 5-19. Contacts L1-T3 open to enable the
3-second timer. When time elapses and the dial reads 0, timer contacts L1-T1 open
to de-energize the condenser solenoid and heater contactor. Contacts L1-T3 close
to supply power to the 3-second timer and buzzer.
3-Second Timer and Buzzer (mechanical timer units only)
The buzzer provides an audible signal to indicate completion of a timed steaming
cycle. With power applied across terminals 2 and 3 (see Figure 5-20), the 3-second
timer contact closes. This allows power flow through terminals 1 and 2 to the
buzzer. After 3 seconds, the 3-second timer contact opens and silences the buzzer.
The buzzer also sounds at the end of MAN UAL steaming when the operator sets
the TIMED/MANUAL switch to TIMED.
Heater Element - Model 24-CEA-10
Dryer Element- Model 24-CEA-10
High Temperature Limit Switch
Two heater assemblies in each generator are located inside the generator near the
bottom. Each assembly comes as a three-coil element. In this text, heater element
refers to the complete heater assembly. Heater coil refers to each of the three coils
in the assembly. For proper operation of the SteamCraft 10, the rating of the heater
element must match the external supply voltage. The heater coils, connected in a
delta configuration, provide 8-kW heating power . Each heater coil supplies one
third of this power (2.67 kW). Table 6-1 lists electrical characteristics of elements
supplied for various voltages.
The 300-W dryer element mounts inside the generator near the top. The dryer
element eliminates any droplet carryover as the steam exits the generator.
Carryover of small water droplets results in improper cooking and soggy food.
Optimum steam convection cooking demands dry steam with no carryover.
Carryover also erodes and enlarges the nozzle holes. When needed, use 300-watt
elements listed in Table 6-2 as replacements.
The high temperature limit switch operates to protect the heater coils from
overheating. If the temperature near the heater element reaches 240°F, the switch
opens. This interrupts power to the heater contactor to prevent operation of the
heater element.

Combustion Control Module
Model 24-CGA-10
The combustion control module is an electronic controller that monitors and
sequences operation of the gas burner system components. The controller
functions include a safe start check, pilot flame monitoring, burner flame
monitoring, flame failure shutdown, a 45 delay circuit, and high voltage
pulsing to the spark igniter.
Combustion Air Blower
The combustion air blower improves gas burner and heat exchanger efficiency. The blower forces combustion air into the combustion chamber, and
forces the combustion gasses up the heat exchanger tubes. This assures
complete combustion of the fuel and distributes heat through the entire length
of the exchanger.
Air Prover Pressure Switch
The air prover pressure switch ensures that the burner control module does not
start timing the start-up until alter air flow is established. The pressure switch
senses air flow through the combustion chamber and sends a signal to the
control module.
Pilot Spark Igniter
The pilot spark igniter is a combination pilot burner, spark igniter and flame
sensor. The pilot burner directs the pilot flame toward the main burner if
assure reliable lightoff. The igniter generates a high voltage spark that light.
the pilot burner. The flame sensor monitors the pilot flame during ignition and
while the main burner is on.
Automatic Gas Valve
The automatic gas valve regulates gas flow to the pilot and main burners in
response to signals from the gas control module. The gas valve also includes a
manual shutoff valve, and two stage flow control.
Steam Relief Solenoid Valve
Model 24-CGA-10
The normally open steam relief solenoid valve controls ventilation of the
steam generator. The valve is open during the water fill and preheat cycles to
vent air and water vapor from the generator, assuring that pressure inside the
generator does not build above the external atmospheric pressure. When the
steaming cycle starts, the valve closes to direct the steam to the lower cooking
compartments.
Compartment Steam Solenoid Valves
Model 24-CGA-10
The normally closed compartment steam valves control steam flow into the
cooking compartments. Each compartment has a steam valve. When the
compartment controls are set for steaming, the steam valve for that compartment opens to allow steam flow from the steam generator into the compartment. When only one compartment is set for steaming, the steam valve for the
other compartment remains closed.

Models Covered In This Chapter
This chapter covers SteamCraft 10 models with atmospheric steam gener ators:
• Model 24-CGA-10 - Gas-fired atmospheric steam generator
• Model 24-CEA-10 - Electric atmospheric steam generator
Figures And Illustrations
Most illustrations in this chapter are on the same page or near the text in which
they are first referenced. However, the Electrical Schematics and Wiring
Diagrams are included with the other service drawings in Chapter 7. These
electrical drawings are Figures 7-16 through 7-23.
Nominal Voltage References
The SteamCraft 10 models covered in this chapter can match a variety of
electrical supply voltages. To determine the supply voltage characteristics of
the SteamCraft 10 being serviced, refer to the Product Identification Plate as
described in Chapter 1. As shown on the schematic and wiring drawings, the
internal operating and control voltages vary among the models. To simplify
voltage references, the text of this chapter uses the following nominal voltages
and conventions.
§ 230 VAC, or High Voltage. These terms refer to the characteristics of the
voltage coming into the unit at the two- or three-pin terminal block.
Always check the Product ID Plate to verify the actual voltage of the unit
being tested (i.e. 208 VAC, 460 VAC, etc.).
§ 115/120 VAC, or Operating Voltage. These terms refer to the
characteristics of the main operating circuit voltage. Verify the operating

COMPONENT TESTING FUNDAMENTALS
This section is not a basic training guide for equipment testing and troubleshooting. It
presents several fundamental testing principles that may cause troubleshooting
difficulties if ignored. A review of this material is advisable, even for experienced
service representative. Keep the principles of this section in mind while testing and
servicing the SteamCraft 10 and its components.
Visual Check
Before starting any detailed troubleshooting, visually check the unit for obvious
damage or other faults. Often malfunctions can be isolated quickly by observing the
condition of the equipment and inspecting for water leaks, loose connections, and
burned or melted wiring insulation.
Connections and Wiring
Loose connections and open or damaged wiring can cause a variety of intermittent
and troublesome component malfunction. These are usually the most difficult type of
problem to diagnose. Be sure to check for the following conditions before replacing
any component
Discoloration of wire insulation near connection points usually indicates loose
connections. Current flow through loose connections causes oxidation and increased
resistance of the connection. The resistance can increase to a point where the
connection can no longer dissipate the heat generated, and the terminal burns.
High-current connections, such as at the terminal block and contactor terminals, are
particularly susceptible to damage when loose. Using wire that is too small in
diameter also yields the same results. Be sure that any wiring meets the amperage
requirements of the circuit
All connections should have no resistance and measure 0 VAC across them. Any
voltage leading greater Than 0 VAC across a connection indicates a faulty connection
and must be corrected.
The SteamCraft 10 uses some pressure type connections. Be sure to tighten screw and
nut connections securely and that threads are not cross threaded. Special care must be
used to secure the high voltage contactor connections. If loose, these high current
connections will burn and cause extensive damage.

Solenoid Valves
Models 24-CGA-10, and 24-CEA-10 SteamCraft 10 Service Manual , Chapter 6 Page 93
Solenoid valves in the SteamCraft 10 control the flow of water, steam, and
drainage. In addition, the Model 24-CGA-10 units have automatic gas valves with
solenoid actuators. The Component Test Procedures detail testing each of these
solenoid valves. This section provides general and reference infor mation about
these valves.
General Considerations
When testing or replacing a solenoid valve, check the valve for correct flow
direction. Markings on the valve body indicate IN for the inlet, OUT for the outlet,
or both. Some valves use an arrow to indicate the proper flow direction. Valves
installed back wards do not work correctly.
Before testing valve operation, verify that water, steam, drainage, etc. supply is
available to check flow through the valve. For example: When testing a water
control solenoid valve, first check that external supply valves are open.
When power is first applied to a properly operating solenoid, an audible click can
be heard. While energized, the solenoid hums at low volume. The click sound
usually indicates a properly operating solenoid.
Energized solenoids generate a magnetic field that can be detected with a steel
screw driver. Note that some stainless steels, brass, and aluminum alloys are not
magnetic and will not be effected by the magnetic field.
Low voltage (below 90 VAC) will cause a solenoid to hum loudly or chatter.
• Check for loose connections to the solenoid.
• Check power supply to the solenoid for the proper voltage for the model being
tested. Refer to the schematic diagram in Chapter 7.
Normally Open and Normally Closed Valves and Contacts
Whether troubleshooting a system or a component, it is important to know if the
solenoid valve is normally open or normally closed.
• A normally open valve or contact is open until the solenoid is energized. It
closes when the solenoid is energized, and remains closed while the solenoid
remains energized. It opens when the solenoid is de-energized.
• A normally closed valve is closed until the solenoid is energized. It opens when
the solenoid is energized, and remains open while the solenoid remains
energized. It closes when the solenoid is de-energized.
Refer to Figure 6-1 for the normal state of each valve in the SteamCraft 10.
Water Pressure and Control Valves
The SteamCraft 10 water control solenoid valves operate at a maximum pressure
of 60 psi. Higher pressure causes unnecessary valve wear and requires frequent
valve replacement. If necessary, install a pressure regulator set at 50 psi.
Measuring Resistance Through the Solenoid
To determine if a valve solenoid is operable, measure the resistance through the
solenoid coil. If the reading is zero, the coil is shorted. and the solenoid valve
should be replaced.
Jammed or Blocked Valves
If the electrical connections and solenoid actuator are good but the valve does not
operate correctly, the valve may be jammed in position or blocked at the inlet or
outlet.
