INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. These instructions must be retained by the owner/user for
future reference. Gas-fired boilers are only to be installed
in noncombustible areas that have provisions for
adequate air supply. The term "boiler" will be used
synonymously with "steam generator".
2. Position: For proper operation and drainage, the equipment must be level. It should be placed next to an open
floor drain. DO NOT POSITION THE UNIT DIRECT LY
ABOVE THE FLOOR DRAIN. Observe all clearance
requirements to provide air supply for proper operation,
as well as sufficient clearance for servicing. The
surrounding area must be free and dear of combustibles.
Dimensions and clearance specifications are shown on
the specification sheet.
3. Install in accordance with local codes and/or the National
Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1987. Installation in
Canada must be in accordance with the Canadian
Electrical Code CSA Standard C22.1. Equipment that is
con-
wiring diagram is provided inside the base cabinet.
WARNING
INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT DA MAGE
may result from an improper drain connection.
4. The drain line outlet discharges exhaust steam and hot
condensate. Connect 1-1/2-inch IPS piping (or larger) to
extend the drain line to a nearby open floor drain. Up 10
two elbows and six feet of 1-1/2-inch IPS (or larger) extension pipe should be connected to the drain termination.
Drain piping extended six to twelve feet or using three
elbows, should be increased to 2-inch IPS. No more than
two pieces of Cleveland Range equipment should be connected to one common drain line. The maximum length of
extension from the drain termination should not exceed six
feet and use no more than two elbows. The extension
piping must have a gravity flow and vent freely to the air.
This drain outlet must be free-vented to avoid the creation
of back pressure in the steamer cooking compartments.
To ensure a vented drain line, DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CONNECT THE DRAIN OUT LET
DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR DRAIN OR SEWER LINE.
Do not run the drain line discharge int o PVC drain piping
or any other drain piping material not capable of sustaining
180º F operation.
NOTE: Direct-steam connected pressure steamers do not
require a cold water connection, and therefore steps
5 and 6 do not apply. Refer directly to step 7. A kettle
fill faucet, if so equipped, requires a hot and/or cold
water connection. The data contained in step 5 for
cold water also applies to hot water.
5. Connect COLD water supply plumbing to the line strainer.
(Never connect hot water to the boiler water fill line
strainer.) Constant flow pressure must be maintained
between 35 and 60 psi, and not experience a pressure
drop below 35 psi when other appliances are used. If the
water pressure exceeds 60 psi, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed in the water supply plumbing to reduce
the water pressure to less than 60 psi. Locations and
pressure data are shown on the specification sheet. 1/4inch IPS plumb ing is sufficient for water supply lines up to
20 feet in length, but water supply lines longer than 20 feet
should be at least 3/8-inch IPS. Flush water supply lines
thoroughly before connecting them to the unit. Use water
which is low in total dissolved solids content and low in
gas content to prevent internal scaling, pitting and
corrosion of the steam generator, and carry -over of
minerals into the steam. Water which is fit to drink can still
contain highly detrimental impurities.
NOTE: If equipped with a kettle and kettle water fill swing
spout, 3/8-inch (10mm) hot and/or cold water connection(s) will be required at the swing spout valve.
6. Turn on the cold water supply to the unit. Ensure that the
manual water valve, inside the base cabinet, is open.

are shown on the specification sheet. Boilers rated at less
that 225,000 BTU require 3/4-inch IPS gas supply piping,
and boilers rated at 225,000 BTU or more require 1-inch
IPS gas supply piping. Natural gas pressure must be
between 4" -14" water column, and L-P gas supply
pressure must be between 12" - 14" water column.
NEVER EXCEED 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 that 14" water column. Installation must
be in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
2223.1-1984. Installation in Canada must be in
accordance with installation codes for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment B149.1 and B149.2. Use a
gas pipe joint compound which is resistant to LP gas.
Turn the gas valve control knob to ON (the word "on" on
the knob will be opposite the index on the valve's body).
Test all pipe joints for leaks with soap and water solution.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Observe all clearance requirements to provide adequate
air openings into the combustion chamber. 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 at test
pressures equal to or less than 14" water column (1/2 psi
or 3.45 kPa). A permanent 115-volt electrical connection
is required at the junction box. The junction box location is
shown on the specification sheet. The unit must be
electrically grounded by the installer.
For Electric Powered Steam Generators: Connect electric
power: location and data are shown on the specification
sheet. Provide connection as required by the unit; either

plate inside the base cabinet. The copper wiring must be
adequate to carry the required current at the rated
voltage. A separate fused disconnect switch must be
supplied and installed. The unit must be electrically
grounded by the installer.
For Steam Coil Steam Generators: Connect steam supply
piping to the input side of the steam coil. Location and
pressure data are shown on the specification sheet. Incoming steam pressure must be regulated between 35 and 45
psi. A 3/4-inch strainer, equipped with a 20 mesh stainless
steel screen, must be supplied and installed at the incoming
steam connection point. Flush the steam line thoroughly
before connecting it to the boiler. To ensure an adequate
volume of steam, the branch steam supply line must be 3/4inch IPS minimum. Connect the inverted bucket trap to the
outlet end of the steam coil. Fill the trap with water before
installing it. A permanent 115-volt electrical connection is
required at the junction box. The junction box location is
shown on the specification sheet. The unit mast be
electrically-grounded by the installer.
For Direct-Steam Connected Steamers/Kettles: Connect
steam supply piping to the input side of the line strainer.
Location and pressure data are shown on the specification
sheet. Flush the steam line thoroughly before connecting it
to the steamer. To ensure an adequate volume of steam, the

Installation Checks
Proper operation of the Cleveland Convection Steamer is
dependent upon proper installation. After the steamer has
been installed, a few quick checks could save unnecessary
service calls.
1. The unit must be level.
2 The Convection Steamer requires a cold water connection
for proper, efficient operation. DO NOT USE HOT WATER.
The cold water must be connected to the line strainer,
located at the front lower-right of the steamer base.
3. Check that the manual water supply valve is open.
4. Check all water supply lines and valves for leaks.
5. Check that the water supply pressure and water quality meet
the requirements of installation paragraph 5.
6. On electric units, verify that the supply voltage meets the
voltage requirements on the rating plate inside the base
cabinet, and the voltage shown on the packing slip. Verify
that the unit is protected with a separate fused disconnect,
and is property grounded in accordance with the National
Electric Code.
7. On gas, steam coil, and direct-steam -connected units, verify
that there is a 115-Volt connection at the handi-box located
on the left side of the base at the bottom front.

Controls and Control Panels
There are two steam generator control arrangements and two
steamer compartment control panels available for Cleveland
Range Convection Steamers. The steam generator controls are
illustrated in Figure 1. The steamer compartment control panels
are illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. Compare these figures with
the equipment supplied, and identify which control and panel
combinations apply.
Steam Generator Controls
The steam generator controls are located on the front face of
the steamer base unit. The switches are to the left of the
pressure gage, as illustrated in Figure 1. Most Cleveland
Range Convection Steamers have a steam generator built into
the base unit which supplies steam to the cooking compartments. However, an external steam supply may also be used.
Units with a built -in boiler have both the POWER rocker switch
and the STEAM momentary switch next to the pressure gauge.
Units with an external steam supply have the POWER rocker
switch only. They do not have the STEAM momentary switch.
Steamer Compartment Control Panels
Figure 2 illustrates the standard electronic controls: the Key
Pad Control Panel. This panel has a rocker switch, a key pad,
and a digital timer. Figure 3 illustrates the optional electromechanical controls: the Dial Timer Control Panel. This panel

CARE AND CLEANING
The Cleveland Convection Steamer most be cleaned
regularly to maintain its fast, efficient cooking performance,
and to ensure its continued safe, reliable operation
1. The boiler must be drained (blowdown) after a maximum
of 8 hours of use. If the boiler feedwater contains more
than 60 pans per million of total dissolved solids, the
boiler most have a blowdown more often, the frequency
depending upon the mineral content of the feedwater.
Blowdown means the boiler must be drained under
pres sure.
THE BOILER BLOWDOWN IS PERFORMED BY
SIMPLY SHUTTING OFF THE STEAMER'S REDLIGHTED POWER SWITCH WHILE THE BOILER IS AT
NORMAL 10 PSI OPERATING PRESSURE. WHEN
THE BOTTOM OF THE POWER ROCKER SWITCH IS
PRESSED, ITS RED LIGHT GOES OUT, AND THE
DRAIN VALVE AUTOMATICALLY OPENS, DRAINING
THE BOILER. AN AUTOMATICALLY-TIMED DRAIN
WATER CONDENSER WILL FLUSH THE DRAIN FOR
3 MINUTES, THEN SHUT OFF. AFTER 3 MINUTES
THE STEAMER IS READY TO BE RESTARTED.
When steam is produced, the water in the boiler is being
distilled. During this process, the minerals that come into
the boiler with the water, remain in the boiler as the
water boils away as steam. When allowed to
accumulate, the water becomes highly mineralized,
which results in erratic operation, lime build-up,
corrosion, and premature electric heater failures- In
some cases, complete boiler replacement becomes
necessary, which is extremely ex pensive. By draining
the boiler under pressure, most sediment present will be
flushed down the drain.
2. The steamer is equipped with a drain in the back of the
cooking compartment. No compartment should be
operated without the drain screen in place. This screen
prevents large food particles from entering and possibly
plugging the drain line. Any restriction of the drain line
may cause a slight build-up of back pressure in the
compartment, resulting in steam leaks around the door
gasket. It also may adversely affect the convection
action of the steam in the compartment, which is critical
to optimum performance- Pouring USDA approved
drain cleaner through the compartment drains once a
week will help to ensure an open drain. A manual (hand
crank) drain auger, or "snake", may be safely used to
dear obstructions in the compartment drains. Do not
use a power auger, as damage to the plastic drain
system will result.
With the steamer off, open the cooking compartment
doors and allow the steamer to cool before cleaning the
cooking compartments and their components.
3. At the end of each day's operation, wash the pan slides,
steam tubes, door gaskets, and compartment interiors
with mild detergent and warm water, either by hand or
in a dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
Rinse water should drain freely through the
compartment drain
openings. If it docs not, the drain must be cleaned before
using the steamer.
4. Once a week, remove the steam tubes and clean the
orifices. First, remove the pan slides by lifting upward and
toward the center of the compartment. Pressing backward
on the steam tube will allow its front eyelet to clear the
compartment stud. The tube is then angled toward the
center of the compartment just enough to dear the stud
and be pulled forward, out of its socket. The orifices can
be cleaned easily with a paper dip. Then, thoroughly wash
and rinse all steam tubes. This can be done in a
dishwasher. Lubricate each tube's tapered end with
cooking oil before replacing in the steamers
compartments. Be sure all four steam tubes are securely
in place before activating the compartment. The tubes are
interchangeable and may be placed in any spot in either
compartment.
5. To prolong door gasket life, always leave compartment
door ajar when not in use.
6. Exterior Care: Allow steamer to cool before washing. Use
the same cleaners and cleaning procedures as for other
kitchen surfaces of stainless steel and aluminum. Mild
soapy water, with a dear water rinse, is recommended. Do
not allow water to run into electrical controls. Always turn
off equipment power before using water to wash equipment. Do not hose down the steamer.
WARNING
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically, a qualified serviceman should be summoned for
routine preventive maintenance.
1. The blowdown procedure will not completely remove the
mineral deposits that adhere to the top of the boiler. A
chemical descaling should be done by a boiler treatme nt
specialist. This should be done once a year in average
water conditions, but in poor water areas it may be needed
two or three times a year.
2. Periodic boiler inspection should be made by a
qualified serviceman.
3. Once every three months, the cold wat er line strainer
should be cleaned.

Timer settings are approximate due to the differences in food quality, age, shape and the degree of doneness desired. It is not
necessary to add water. Perforated pans are recommended. Starred items (*) must be cooked in solid pans or containers. Items marked with
two stars (**) require handling in two steps. First, steam for approximately 1/2 the time shown, remove from steamer, separate thawed portion,
or stir, and return to the steamer for the time remaining. The compensating feature of the timer allows the cooking compartment to reach
cooking temperature before the preset time starts to count up.
