No Hood Installation Required: According to the Uniform Mechanical

Codes per the International Conference of Building Officials Code EmberGlo
Steamers do not require a separate hood for vapor produced during
operation.

NOTE: EmberGlo ES10 Series Steamers use a cast aluminum steam
generator with two cast in electric heating elements. For best steaming, the
generator casting should contain some mineral deposits. During final
inspection each generator casting is pre-seasoned with a solution of baking
soda and water. The water marks and mineral deposits seen on a new
generator casting when the perforated food pan is removed is your
assurance that the unit has passed final inspection test and will readily
produce steam.

Specifications:

- 240 volts 60HZ AC 3200 watts 13.3 amp
or 208V 60HZ AC 2400 watts 11.6 amps

- Automatic timer operation (timer models only)

- Single shot operation

- End of cycle buzzer (10 seconds)

Installation

Operation

ES10 Steamers feature a 4" deep full size steam table pan. The steamer lid is equipped with two
counter-balanced spring hinges and offers a convenient choice of four locations for installing the
lid handle at the side or front of either front corner. Models Available for either manual or fully
automatic steaming.

____________________________________

Standard ES10 Steamers are designed for use with 208 VAC to 240 VAC, 4 (3 pole with ground)
wire, single phase, 60 Hz, electrical service. (See Figure 1).
The generator casting contains two heating elements, each rated for 1600 Watts. 13.3 amps, 120
Volts, 60 Hz. Models are available for use on 50 Hz. (Non USA, Export only) electrical service.
Call your distributor for more information.
Standard units are furnished with a six foot, four conductor (2 Hot/1 Neutral/1 Ground) cord. This
cord is equipped with a male twist-lock plug and matching loose female receptacle for convenient
field installation.

____________________________________

Electrical. Female twist-lock receptacle, supplied loose with the steamer, should be installed by a
qualified electrician. Refer to wiring diagrams. Figure 1.

NOTE: Female receptacle must be wired to assure that voltage to the individual heating elements
does not exceed 150 volts. (Circuits R-W and BK-W on Fig 1 and 2.) G terminal is wired to
Ground.W terminal is wired to neutral. Protect circuit with a 15 amp double pole circuit breaker.

In the United States, Wiring to the Female receptacle must conform to local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, to the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, or latest
edition. In Canada, Wiring to the Female receptacle must conform to local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, to Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, CSA Standard C22.1. When
choosing a location for the steamer, be sure that there is adequate space over the unit to lift lid
completely.
Water. Connect water hose assembly to water supply system. The supply end has a 1/8" female
pipe fitting and should be attached downstream of a shut-off valve. Steamer end of hose has a
quick connect fitting which snaps onto mating fitting on steamer. This hose fitting has an
automatic shut-off valve that allows steamer to be disconnected without shutting off water supply.
After connecting, turn on water and check for leaks.

No Hood Installation Required: According to the Uniform Mechanical Codes per the
International Conference of Building Officials Code, EmberGlo Steamers do not require a separate
hood for vapor produced during operation.

____________________________________

1. Push power switch to ON position (switch lights up). Allow approximately 15 minutes for
steamer to reach operating temperature.

2. MODEL ES10PB:
Push STEAM button momentarily for each shot of steam desired. Water is sprayed into the
steam generator for as long as the button is depressed. If the STEAM button is depressed
too long or too often, flooding of the steam generator will result. A one second shot of water
every 20 seconds is a good rule of thumb to avoid flooding.

3. MODEL ES10:
A.) For a single-shot steaming as with the ES10PB (above), flip the CYCLE/MANUAL switch

to the MANUAL side. Push the STEAM button for each shot of steam desired.

B.) For unattended steaming for up to 20 minutes, set the CYCLE/MANUAL switch to

CYCLE. Depress the STEAM button to activate a steaming cycle. Steaming will proceed
according to the timer settings.

Timers are configured as follows:

CYCLE TIME: Sets the total length of product cooking time, during which steam is
automatically supplied at adjustable intervals. At the end of the set time, steaming
stops and the buzzer sounds. Adjustable from 0.2 to 20 minutes.
STEAM SHOT “ON” TIME: Sets the amount of time that water is supplied to the steam
generator to create steam. Adjustable from 0.1 to 0.5 seconds.
STEAM SHOT “OFF” TIME: Sets the amount of the time between steam shots when no
steam is supplied. Adjustable from 6 to 18 seconds.
BUZZER DURATION: Sets the length of time that the buzzer will sound after automatic
steaming is completed. Adjustable from 0.1 to 10 seconds.
DELAY FROM LAST SHOT TO BUZZER: Sets the length of time between the last shot
of steam and the sounding of the buzzer. This dwell time allows absorption of steam into

the food. Adjustable from 0.1 to 30 seconds.
The adjustment features have been located within the steamer control box and made accessible
only with a screwdriver in order to discourage tampering or readjustments by unauthorized
personnel.

DANGER: Use extreme caution when adjusting timers. Bare wire terminals and/or bare
wires are exposed. Unplug male twist-lock plug or use extreme caution if steamer is
plugged in when making timer adjustments. Use an insulated or fiberglass screw driver.
IMPORTANT: KEEP LID CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. This keeps the food pan hot and

reduces condensation in the steam chamber. When steamer is first installed, or when
reconnecting water hose, operate STEAM button several times to purge air from lines.

____________________________________

Food Pan and Grid on all models should be removed and washed with a detergent or run
through a dishwasher.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the entire Steamer be run through a
dishwasher. If any of the switches or timers in electric control compartment get wet they
can malfunction. Never try to use a device that has been wet—replace it.

All exposed stainless steel surfaces should be wiped with a damp cloth or cleaned with a chlorine
free stainless steel cleaner. Rust spots can develop on stainless steel surfaces that are not
cleaned daily.
