Equipment Description
Your Groen SSB-3E/5E/10E or (2)SSB-3E/5E/10E
Smartsteam Boilerless Steamer is designed to
give years of service. It has a stainless steel cavity
(cooking chamber) which is served by an electricheated atmospheric steam generating reservoir. A
powerful blower circulates the steam in the cavity to
increase heating efciency.
Each cavity holds up to three, ve or ten steam table
pans (12” x 20” x 21/2” deep) as shown below.

An 18-guage stainless steel case encloses the
cavity, the steam generating reservoir and the control
compartment that houses electrical components.
Door hinges are eld-reversible (the door may be set
to open from the left or right). Operating controls are
on the front panel.
Electric SSB-3E/5E/10E units are distinguished from
the rear by the addition of a fuse box, which lets
operators change fuses without removing panels.
The drain system on all models includes a spray
condenser, which cools drain water.
The SSB-3E/5E/10E steamers are equipped with fully
electronic controls. These units are readily identied
by their unique control panels. Steamer function is
controlled by touch pad controls and a rotary timer.
Inspection and Unpacking
Your Groen SSB-3E/5E/10E SmartSteam Boilerless
Steamer will be delivered completely assembled in a
heavy shipping carton strapped to a skid. On receipt,
inspect carton carefully for exterior damage.
CAUTION
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION AND
CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.
Carefully cut the straps and detach the sides of the
carton from the skid. Pull the carton up off the unit. Be
careful to avoid personal injury or equipment damage
from staples which might be left in the carton walls.
Write down the model number, serial number and
installation date. Keep this information for reference.
Space for these entries is provided at the top of the
Service Log in the back of this manual.

Installation and Startup
WARNING
THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY
AND PLUMBING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO
THE EQUIPMENT. THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES.
CAUTION
DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT WITH THE REAR VENTS BLOCKED OR WITHIN 2 INCHES OF A HEAT SOURCE
SUCH AS A BRAISING PAN, DEEP FAT FRYER, CHARBROILER OR KETTLE.
TO AVOID DRAINAGE PROBLEMS, LEVEL THE UNIT FRONT TO BACK, OR PITCHED SLIGHTLY TO
THE REAR.
1. Installation
Minimum Clearances: SmartSteam Boilerless
Steamer requires the following minimum
clearances to any surface, combustible or noncombustible.
Right Side 2 inches
Left Side 2 inches
Rear 6 inches
Steam Free Zone: The SmartSteam Boilerless
Steamer can be damaged by steam from
external sources. Do not install the steamer
over a steam venting drain. Ensure that steam is
not present in an area bounded by the footprint
of the steamer and a circle 18 inches in radius
about the right rear corner of the steamer (see
gure below).
18 -inch
radius
457 mm
C. Phase Selection
Refer to steamer wiring diagram and element
wiring on pages 19 and 20 for wiring
information.
CAUTION
EACH UNIT MUST HAVE A SEPARATE GROUND
WIRE FOR SAFE OPERATION.
D. Terminal Block
The terminal block for incoming power is
located at the back of the control compartment.
The ground terminal is located in the wiring
compartment near the terminal block.
E. Supply Wire
The equipment grounding wire must comply
with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
requirements. The wiring diagram on the
inside of the unit’s right side cover gives
directions for proper connection of the
terminal block jumpers. The wire must
be used or the unit will not meet Underwriters
Laboratories and NEC requirements. The
electric hole is sized for a one-inch conduit
tting on the SSB-3E and SSB-5E. The electric
hole is sized for a 11/4” conduit tting
on the SSB-10E.
2. Electrical Supply Connection
A. Panel Removal - Right Side
Open the wiring and control panel by
removing screws from the right side panel.
Slide the panel forward and set it aside.
B. Supply Voltage
The unit must be operated at the rated
name plate voltage. The name plate can be
found on the rear of the unit.
F. Branch Circuit Protection
Each SmartSteam Boilerless Steamer,
including individual units of stacked models,
should have its own branch circuit protection
and ground wire.

3. Water Connection(s)
208 3P
208 1p
240 1p 240 1- 240 3p
Install a check valve to prevent back ow
in the incoming cold water line, as required
by local plumbing codes. Water pressure
in the line should be between 30 and 60 PSI. If
pressure is above 60 PSI, a pressure regulator
will be needed. These pressures will provide
the 1.5 gallons per minute required for proper
steamer function.
A 3/4 inch female NH connector (garden hose
type) is used to attach the water supply to the
inlet valve. Minimum inside diameter
of the water feed line is 1/2 inch.
Use a washer in the hose connection. Do
not allow the connection to leak, no matter
how slowly. Do not over-tighten hose
connections.
This equipment is to be installed to comply
with the basic plumbing code of the Building
Ofcials and Code Administrators
International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food
Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).

WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THE DRAIN DIRECTLY TO
A BUILDING DRAIN. BLOCKING THE DRAIN IS
HAZARDOUS.
There must be a free air gap between the end of the
hose and the building drain. The free air gap should
be as close as possible to the unit drain. There must
also be no other elbows or other restrictions between
the unit drain and the free air gap.
4. Drain Connection
Level the steamer front to back, or pitch it
slightly to the rear (maximum 1/4 inch) by
adjusting the optional legs or the bullet feet
on the optional stand.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE PLASTIC PIPE. DRAIN MUST BE
RATED FOR BOILING WATER.
