Installation Instructions For All Models
1) These instructions must be retained by the owner/user for future reference. For installation only in noncombustible locations. Gas
units are only to be installed in areas that have provisions for adequate air supply
2) Position: For proper operation and drainage, steam generator must be level. It must be set near a floor drain Attach 1 1/2" piping to
all drain connections to carry exhaust steam away from the cabinet. Ends of drain lines must vent to1 atmosphere to avoid back
pressure. Allow a MINIMUM of 6" clearance to the rear and sides of the equipment The surrounding area must be free and clear of
combustibles.
3) Install in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984. Installation in Canada shall be in accordance
with the Canadian Electric Code CSA Standard C22-1. A unit that is connected to electricity must be grounded. A wiring diagram is provided
inside the relay box.
4) Connect supply lines for 140° — 160° hot water, and cold water, to the unit. Water pressure must be maintained between 35 and
60 psi. Locations and pressure data are shown on the connection drawing. Long hot water lines should be at least 1/2" IPS. Flush
water supply lines thoroughly before connecting. Use water which is low in total 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 Refer to Water Quality Requirements page.
5) Turn on water supply to steam generator. Water valve is inside of base.
6) Connect fuel supply.
FOR YO UR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
For Steam Coil Steam Generators —
— Connect steam supply: Location is shown on the connection drawing. Incoming steam pressure must be regulated between 35
and 45 psi (30 — 45 psi for pressure steamers). Install a strainer ahead of the regulating valve. Flush line thoroughly before
connecting.
— Connect the outlet end of the steam coil to an inverted bucket trap. Fill trap with water before installing.
— Connect electricity if unit is equipped with electrical controls. Permanent 115V connection is required. Junction box location is
shown on the connection drawing. Unit must be electrically grounded by the installer.
For Gas Fired Generators —
— Post. in a prominent location, instructions to be followed in the event the user smells gas. This information shall be obtained by
consulting the local gas supplier.
— Connect gas: Location and pressure data are shown on the connection drawing. Installation shall be in accordance with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 —1984. Installation in Canada shall be
in accordance with Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment B149.1 and B14S.2. Use a gas pipe joint
compound which is resistant to LP gas. Test all pipe joints for leaks with soap and water solution. Allow 12 inch clearance on
right side of all Gas Fired Steam Generator models for servicing gas burners and for proper operation. This 12" clearance also
provides adequate air openings into the combustion chamber. Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. The
appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
— Connect electricity if unit is equipped with electrical controls. Permanent 115V connection is required. Junction box location is
snown on the connection drawing. Unit must be electrically grounded by the installer.
— Lighting and Shutdown Instructions: Flip electrical switch on. Open water valve. Open gas valve. Slightly depress and turn
control knob to "off" for 5 minutes before lighting gas. Turn control knob to "pilot", depress it completely and light pilot burner.
Continue to hold knob in for a bout 60 seconds, then release. Pilot burner is lighted through hole in panel at bottom of steam
generator. Never leave panel off. as this will damage controls. Turn control knob to "on". Depress electrical "reset" switch for
main burner ignition- Burners will not light without water in the steam generator. For main burner off. with pilot on. turn control
knob to "pilot". For main and pilot burner off. slightly depress and turn control knob to "off". Flip electrical switch off.

7) Turn on electricity at control circuit switch on steamer console. A red light glows when electricity is on. If water level is correct, steam generator will
operate by pressing the "reset" button. Heaters will not work without water in the steam generator. This manual reset button must be pressed to start
up the generator Initially, and to restart the steam generator after every shut off, or power interruption. No attempt should be made to operate the
equipment during a power failure.
8) Check to make sure that the water in the sight gauge glass automatically stays at about 2/3 full when the unit is started up.
9) When installation is complete and free of leaks, refer to Operating Procedures sheet. Instructions For Steam
Generator Care
Protect your steam generator, prolong its life and preserve its performance by giving it the required daily attention, on a regular schedule. Follow
servicing instructions for your steam generator which are printed on Data Sheet 260-LC in your Owner s Manual, and also on an adhesive label attached
to the unit. To obtain an adoitional data sheet or label
carrying servicing instructions, write to the Cleveland Range Company.
WARNING
No work should be done on the steam generator while it is pressurized or hot. Service of the steam generator should only be
performed by a trained and experienced service technician, thoroughly familiar with servicing steam generators. When
maintenance or repairs are required, contact a local food service equipment service agency, or call the factory, or a factory
representative, for the name and address of one in your area.
Rigid regulations govern the design and construction of a boiler However, the responsibility for the safe and efficient operation of a boiler shifts to the
Steam Generator (Boiler) Safety
owner/user after the boiler leaves the factory.
A sound boiler, if improperly installed, or if improperly maintained, or if improperly repaired, will create a dangerous situation and may cause injury to
personnel.
Most states, provinces and some cities have a boiler safety law. Many underwriters require that their clients boilers comply with these boiler safety laws.
These safety laws call for action by the boiler manufacturer and action by the boiler owner/user.
As a manuf acturer. The Cleveland Range Company delivers steam generators built to the ASME Boiler Code, Section IV. which have been inspected by
a National Board Inspector. Also. each Cleveland Range Company boiler is built to comply with the boiler safety law of the state to which it is sent.
Safe and Efficient Boiler Operation Depends on Proper Installation
Install the boiler in compliance with following regulations, where they apply:
— The National Fuel Gas Code. ANSI 2223.1-1984 — The local and municipal building code (plumbing and
— Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and electrical)
Equipment B149.1 and B149.2 — The state and city boiler laws
— The Cleveland Range Company Installation instruc - — The recommendations of the owner/user's under— The National Electrical Code ANSl/NFPA No. 70-1984
The water for the boiler should be analyzed by a reputable boiler water specialist, to see if the quality will permit safe and efficient boiler operation.
Water treatment is becoming increasingly necessary because the quality of water sources is deteriorating, although treatment will not be required in every
case. A boiler will not operate properly for very long if the water causes boiler corrosion or scale. Even water which is safe to drink may be detrimental
to a boiler. Refer to Water Quality Requirements page for details.
Safety Requires Periodic Inspection and Maintenance
Any leaks around the boiler's hand hole plate must be quickly stopped. Small leaks, if unchecked, cause corrosion and pitting on the boiler face. around the
hand hole gasket, making it unsealable.
Application of undue stress on the pans that are used to seal the boiler's hand hole opening, in an attempt to seal an unsealable opening, by sledging the
handle of the wrench, by increasing the leverage of the wrench by a length of pipe. or by other means, is dangerous because it may result in the breakage of
parts, or injury. No attempts should be made to tighten up the nut on the retaining stud beyond the recommended 15 foot pounds of torque. When a repair
affecting the safety of the boiler is necessary, call a National Board Inspector for consultation and advice as to the best method of making the repair, so that
the completed work will get his approval. Repairs to the boiler must conform to the applicable provisions in the ASME Code or the National Board Rules
for Repairs. A boiler will last many years before it has to be retired from service. Periodic inspection will reveal the approaching retirement time. It is better
to schedule a convenient replacement time than to wait for the boiler to fail When a boiler older than 10 years is replaced, the entire steam generator base
assembly should be replaced for a number of reasons:
— Replacement pans become increasingly difficult to obtain for older controls.
— Dependable performance of the new controls can be assured for a longer time.
— The new steam generator, including controls, will comply with the latest industry and safety standards.

MODEL D CLEVELAND CONVECTION STEAMER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: These instructions pertain to steamers equipped with self-contained steam generators (boilers). For steamers direct-connected to
a remote (in-house) steam source, disregard those instructions which are directly and solely related to the self-contained steam generator.
1A. Open the cabinet base door and close the drain valve if it is open.
B. Make sure the hot and cold water supply valves are open.
C. Make sure that the steam tubes in the cooking compartments are in place and not loose.
2. Flip the toggle switch on front of the cabinet console to "ON". The red console light should then glow and the boiler will
automatically begin filling with water (if it is not already full).
3. After approximately five minutes (after water appears in the sight gauge), depress the "START" reset button on the console. This will
energize the electric heater elements or ignite the gas burners. This cannot be accomplished until the boiler is full of water.
4. In approximately 15 minutes you will notice the console's steam pressure gauge register 10-12 pounds. You can now preheat the
cooking compartments. Preheating need only be done once before the day's cooking.
5. Compartments should be preheated before use and should be kept hot between loads. If a kettle and steamer are to be used at the
same time, always heat the kettle unit first. When kettle contents begin to simmer, preheat the steamer compartments. When
pressure returns to 10 pounds, cooking may begin in the steamer.
6. To preheat, close the compartment door with the palm of your hand on the latch. Turn the outer dial of the timer to 5 minutes and
press its inner button. It will be several minutes before the arrow on the inner dial starts to move clockwise, toward the arrow on the
outer dial. When the preheating is completed, the steam will automatically shut off and a buzzer will sound.
7. To cook, place the pan of food into the cooking compartment and repeat the operating procedure previously described (step #6) but
set the timer for the length of time required, up to 30 minutes. The door may be opened for food inspection anytime during the
cooking cycle, BUT KEEP HANDS OUT OF THE COOKING COMPARTMENT TO PREVENT BURNS.
8. If a cooking cycle longer than 30 minutes is desired, do not use the timer. Just depress the red "Manual" operation button to start the
flow of steam. Remember, you must press the manual button again to shut the steam off. In either mode of operation, the red
indicating light will glow when the compartment is in operation. In the manual mode, the timer can be used, but steam will continue
to flow after the buzzer sounds.
9. At the end of each day's operation, flip the console toggle switch to the "Blowdown" position, open the door in the cabinet base and
open the boiler drain valve, (red handle). This "Blowdown" drains the boiler and helps to keep it clean- When the boiler is empty,
flip the console toggle switch to the "OFF" position and close the boiler drain valve.
10. It is recommended that the boiler be refilled with water after the "Blowdown" is performed. This can be accomplished by flipping
the toggle switch to the "ON" position for a period of five minutes and then returning the switch to the "OFF" position.
TO PROLONG LIFE AND MINIMIZE SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
1. Blow down the steam generator daily.
2. A periodic boiler inspection must be performed by a qualified serviceman to prolong its life and to minimize service calls.
3 At the end of each day's operation, wash the steam tubes, pan slides, drain screen covers, door gaskets, and compartment interiors with
mild detergent and warm water. Thoroughly rinse with clean water. Rinse water should drain freely through the compartment drain
openings. If it does not, the drain must be cleaned before using the steamer.
4. Once a week, flush each compartment drain with a food service equipment drain cleaner and a deliming solution.
5. Once every three months, shut off the water supply, (hot and cold), and clean the water line strainers.
6. Once a week, remove and clean the compartment steam tubes. Lubricate the steam tubes' rubber "0" rings with cooking oil prior to
reinserting them into the compartments' back wall openings.
7. Steam tubes, drain screens, and pan slides are stainless steel, and can be washed safely in a mechanical dishwasher.
8. Always leave compartment doors ajar when not in use.
