INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION:
Models GCX-2-6, GCX-2-10, GCX-2-6-6 and GCX-2-6-10, convection steamers with direct
steam kettle(s) mounted on cabinet base and a gas fired boiler rated at 200,000, 250,000 or
300,000 BTU. Each steamer has a pan capacity of 6 (2-1/2") pans. Kettle(s) is/are conveniently
mounted beside the compartment cooker complete with mounted steam control valve located in
the kettle leg. Kettle(s) is/are direct connected to boiler and all piping, steam traps and relief
valves are connected to system. Kettle(s) is/are suffixed with either -6 or -10 to indicate the
capacity of that kettle in U.S. gallons.
BASIC FUNCTION:
Gas fired steamers with direct connected steam kettles. The sequence of operation is as
follows:
1. Turn on main power switch. Pilot light will indicate main power is on and fill solenoid will
open and water will begin to fill boiler. Allow 20 minutes to fill generator. OFF shuts off the
boiler controls and opens the automatic blowdown valve, if so equipped, emptying the boiler
and releasing water and steam to the drain. Manual valve will have to be opened to drain
boiler if not equipped with automatic blowdown valve.
2. Boiler pressure gauge should read 9 - 11 psi during operation, 0 psi during shutdown.
3. Burners will cycle on and off as required to maintain pressure.
4. Compartment cooker is ready for use when READY light is on. Place pans of food to be
cooked into compartments and close door(s).
5. Set timer to cooking time desired. Cooking will commence and cooking time may be
interrupted at any time by opening door and resumed again by closing door.
6. Buzzer will sound indicating the end of the cooking cycle and that steam has stopped
entering the compartment. The COOKING pilot will go off and the READY light will come
on. Buzzer must be shut off by turning the timer to its off position.
7. Direct connected steam jacketed kettles consist of a stainless steel bowl and a stainless
steel jacket which envelopes two thirds of the lower surface of the kettle thus forming a
sealed pressure vessel (chamber) into which steam is introduced by means of a manual
valve. Slowly turn steam control valve on to full open position (counterclockwise).
8. Regulate steam control valve depending on type of food being prepared.

9. To empty food from kettle, pull forward on handle slowly to avoid injury from spill and place
kettle in upright position when empty.
GENERAL
The gas boiler in this appliance is designed to ASME Code and approved as a steam heating
boiler restricted to operation at pressure not to exceed 15 psi. The gas boiler is installed in a
60" cabinet base rated at 200,000, 250,000 or 300,000 BTU, operational on Natural or Propane
gas. Boilers may have optional electronic ignition and CSD-1 controls.
1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the appliance is found to
be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Before installing, verify that the gas (natural or propane), the elevation from sea level and the
electrical supply agree with the specification on the data plate. NOTE: If this appliance is being
installed above 2000 feet altitude, contact your authorized service office to assure that the
proper orifice size for your elevation has been installed.
LOCATION
The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilation air. Clearance from combustible construction must be a minimum
of 3 inches from the sides and 6 inches from the back. The appliance should be installed on a
noncombustible floor. Provide adequate clearances for cleaning, maintenance, service and
proper operation.
Sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed
by any ventilating system and for combustion of the gas burners. Do not obstruct the air flow
into and around the appliance. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located
at the rear and above the cabinet. Position the appliance in its final location. Check that there
are sufficient clearances to service the controls, for door swings, etc., so there will be no
problem in making the required supply and drain connections.
Allow enough space between any other piece of equipment or a wall for service access.
Service on the cabinet base may require access to the left and/or right side panels.

LEVELLING AND ANCHORING THE APPLIANCE
1. Place appliance in the installation position.
2. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the appliance and turn the adjustable feet to level sideto-side and front-to-back.
3. Mark hole locations on the floor through the anchoring holes provided in the rear flanged
adjustable feet.
4. Remove appliance from installation position and drill holes in locations marked on the floor.
Insert proper anchoring devices (not supplied).
5. Place appliance back in the installation position.
6. Place carpenter’s level on top of appliance and re-level side-to-side and front-to-back.
7. Bolt and anchor appliance securely to the floor.
8. Seal bolts and flanged feet with silastic or equivalent compound.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
Installation must conform to local codes, or in absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code - ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1, as applicable, including:
1. 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 pressures in excess of ½ psig
(3.5 kPa).
2. 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 ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, installation must be in
accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.2.
Ventilation must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with ANSI/NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking
Operations.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS (Continued)
WIRING DIAGRAM FOR APPLIANCE IS LOCATED INSIDE CABINET DOOR.
EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:
Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, kettles, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended
that a canopy extend 6" past the appliance and be located 6 feet 6 inches from the floor. Filters
should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the horizontal. This position
prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually
installed with the filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may
interfere with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames. Makeup air openings
approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory
performance on any appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the “OFF” position.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the
standard for “Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, USA, 02269.

SERVICE CONNECTIONS
NOTICE: If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet
altitude and was not so specified on order, contact service
department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing may void the
warranty.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Plumbing connections must comply with applicable
sanitary, safety, and plumbing codes.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
The incoming cold water supply connection, at the rear of the steamer cabinet, requires 3/8"
tubing and water pressure of 25 - 50 psi. A manual shut-off valve must be provided convenient
to the appliance; this valve should be open when the boiler is in operation.
FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF THIS APPLIANCE DUE TO POOR WATER QUALITY IS
NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SEE WATER QUALITY STATEMENT (PAGE 4.)
DRAIN CONNECTION
The appliance drain (2" IPS) should be piped to a floor drain near the steamer. There should
be no solid drain connection; an “open gap” between the steamer and the floor drain is
required.
GAS CONNECTION
1. The data plate on the cabinet door of the boiler indicates the type of gas your unit is
equipped to burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type.
Keep the appliance area free and clear from combustible substances. Do not obstruct
the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
2. A 3/4" NPT line is provided at the rear for the connection. Each boiler is equipped with
an internal pressure regulator which is set at 3.5" W.C. manifold pressure for natural
gas or 10.5" W.C. for L.P. gas. Use the 1/8" pipe tap on the burner manifold for
checking pressure.
