HY-24GF - New Model

Equipment Description

Your Groen HY-12GF HyCapacity HyPerSteam is designed to give years of service. It consists of a stainless steel cavity (cooking chamber) which is served by an electrically-heated atmospheric steam generator. The HY-24GF has two cavities and two generators. Two powerful blowers circulate the steam in each cavity to increase heating efficiency.

A dual position pan rack on the left side of the cavity can be quickly changed to allow for the use of either 12" x 20" steamer pans, or 18" x 26" bake pans. The following table lists pan capacities:

Pan Size/Type

Number of Pans

HY-12GF HY-24GF

12 x 20 x 2½” (steamer) 12 24

12 x 20 x 4" (steamer) 8 16

13 x 18" (half-size bake) 24 48

18 x 26" (bake) 12 24

A stainless steel cabinet encases the cavity, steam generator and a control compartment which houses electrical components. Access to the control compartment is gained by removing the right side louvered panel. Door hinges are reversible so that the door may be opened to the left or right. Operating controls are on the front panel.

Newer model HY-12GF and HY-24GF steamers (manufactured since November 1999) are equipped with fully electronic controls and a button-activated preprogrammed CLEAN cycle.

These units are readily identified by their unique control panels. Touch pad controls, and the distinctive symbol for steam is integrated into the panel design. The new models also have fewer panel louvers on the right side and rear.

The drain system for each cavity includes a spray condenser, which helps keep steam from coming out of the unit drain or entering the building drain.

Water Conditioning

It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale. Although the steam generators are engineered to minimize scale, the hardness of your water and number of hours the equipment operates influence scale build-up.

In some areas of the country, water is low enough in minerals to avoid scale formation. But most water supplies are full of minerals which form scale. It is this scale which could lead to an early component

failure. Your water utility or treatment specialists can test and tell you about the minerals in your water. Water to the steam generator should have between 10 and 30 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS) and should have a pH (acidity rating) of

7.0 or higher.

Page 5

OM-HY-12G/24G

The optional separate water intake could significantly reduce treated water requirements.

Please follow these simple precautions:

1. The best way to prevent scale is to use a Groen PureSteem™ Water Treatment System which has been specifically designed for Groen steamers and combination ovens. Do not rely on unproven water treatment systems sold for scale prevention and removal. They are

not specifically designed to work with Groen steamers and combination ovens.

2. A well-maintained water treatment system and a regular cartridge replacement schedule is essential.

3. Using a Groen PureSteem™ Water Treatment System will provide longer steam generator/boiler life, higher steam capacity, and reduce maintenance requirements.

4. If you notice a slowdown in steam production or an increase in deliming, have the steamer checked for scale build-up. This could be an indication that the water treatment cartridges need replacing. Heavy scale reduces the unit’s ability to boil water, and can even cause component failure.

A. Installation

When the steamer is received, immediately inspect the unit thoroughly for external and internal damage. Report any damage to the carrier.

After the inspection, keep the unit in its shipping container until it is installed.

The HY-12GF steamer is suitable for installation in combustible and noncombustible locations. The flooring in all installations must be noncombustible material. Minimum installation clearances are:

Right Side Two inches (50 mm) Left Side Zero inches Rear of flue Six inches (300 mm)

CAUTION THE HY-12G STEAMER REQUIRES 24 INCHES (610 MM) CLEARANCE ON THE RIGHT SIDE FOR PROPER SERVICE.

The unit must be installed in an adequately ventilated room with provision for adequate air supply. It must be installed under a ventilation hood, since flue products exit the appliance. Items which might obstruct or restrict air flow for combustion and ventilation must be removed. Do not obstruct the flue cover or any vents after installation. Areas around the unit must be cleared of combustible material.

The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition, including:

“The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of ½ PSI (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 pressures

equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa).

CAUTION MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL CHANGE IN THE UNIT WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM THE GROEN FOOD SERVICE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT MAY VOID ALL WARRANTIES.

1. Electrical Supply Connection

Provide 115 VAC, 60 HZ, 1 PH, 15 AMP service. Bring conduit in through open frame on under side of cabinet. Local codes and/or the National Electrical Code should be observed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 (or latest edition). AN ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED. The electrical schematic is located in the service compartment and in this manual. Maximum load is 2 1/2 amps. In Canada

, provide electrical service in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1 and/or local codes.

WARNING TO AVOID DAMAGE OR INJURY, FOLLOW THE ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC EXACTLY WHEN CONNECTING THE UNIT.

2. Gas Supply Connection

Connection to the gas supply can be completed with ¾” NPT pipe or approved equivalent. Although the immediate connection to the appliance is ¾” NPT, gas supply piping must be large enough to provide 160,000 BTU/hr. Supply pressure must be at least 5” W.C. (maximum 14” W.C.) for natural gas or 11” W.C. (maximum 14” W.C.) for LP gas. In Canada, the installation must conform to the Canadian Gas Code, CAN 1-B149, Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment and/or local codes.

After the unit has been connected to the gas supply, all gas joints must be checked for leaks

No flame should be used when checking for

leaks. A thick soap solution or other suitable leak detector should be used. The unit must have a separate ground wire for safe operation. This wire must be at least 8 AWG for 208/240V, or 10 AWG for 480V.

3. Water Connection(s)

Install a check valve to prevent back flow in the incoming cold water line, as required by local plumbing codes. Water pressure in the line should be between 30 and 60 PSI (210 and 420 kPa). If pressure is above 60 PSI, a pressure

OM-HY-12G/24G

OM-HY-12G/24G

Installation of drain line without drain box .

regulator will be needed. A ¾ inch R connector (garden hose type) is used to attach the water supply to the water inlet valve. The minimum water feed line diameter is ½ inch (13mm). Use a washer in the hose connection. Do not allow the connection to leak, no matter how slowly.

3. Drain Connection

Your HY-12GF/24GF Steamer must be leveled front to back or pitched slightly to the rear by adjustment of the bullet feet on the cabinet base.

All units are shipped from the factory with a drain box and vent pipe. The drain box and vent pipe provide the necessary air gap when properly installed. The illustrations below show proper installation of drain lines from the drain box, and for tabletop installation, without a drain box.

CAUTION DO NOT CONNECT THE HOSE DIRECTLY TO A BUILDING DRAIN. BLOCKING THE DRAIN COULD BE DANGEROUS.

Do not create any water traps in the drain line. A trap would cause pressure to build up inside the cavity during steaming and make the door gasket leak.

NOTE: Improper drain connection will void the warranty.

INSTALLATION OPTION ONE: From stainless steel elbow (P/N 092273) to nearby floor drain, use Radiator Hose (rated for at least 212ºF) and one additional hose clamp (P/N 013616).

INSTALLATION OPTION TWO: Using the hose (P/N 080688) and two hose clamps (P/N 013616), connect two inch copper tube to floor drain. NOTE: Drain lines must be pitched downward at approximately ½ inch per foot. No water traps should be allowed in the drain line.

IMPORTANT: Leave two inches free air gap to building drain.

Page 9

OM-HY-12G/24G

B. Initial Start-Up

After the Steamer has been installed, test it to ensure that the unit is operating correctly.

1. Remove all literature and packing materials from the interior and exterior of the unit.

2. Make sure the water supply line is open.

3. Make sure that the gas supply line is open and that the manual knob on the main gas valve is turned to the “on” position. This valve is located behind the access panel on the right side of the unit.

4. Turn on electrical service to the unit. The unit will not operate without electrical power. Do not operate during a power failure.

5. The steamer will not operate until the pilot burner has been ignited. To light the pilot burner, activate the pilot switch located next to the main gas valve. When the pilot ignition sequence has been successfully completed, a green light - on the pilot switch

- and on the electrical panel (new models) will glow.

6. The “trial for ignition” period is roughly 90 seconds. If the pilot burner does not light within about 90 seconds after the switch is activated, the ignition system automatically stops gas flow to the pilot burner and stops the ignition trial. If this happens, turn off the pilot switch and repeat the trial for ignition. During the initial start-up, the pilot may require several trials for ignition until all the air is bled from the gas piping. Subsequent start-ups should require only about 5 seconds to achieve pilot ignition.

NOTE: See Automatic Operation of Pilot at the end of this section.

7. Once the pilot burner flame has been established (the green light on the pilot switch or electrical panel (new models) is on), press the “ON” switch for the desired steamer cavity. The steam generator will fill with water.

NOTE: The door MUST be closed for the main burner to work.

8. When the steam generator has filled with water, the main burner will ignite automatically. Within 6-8 minutes the READY light will come on, indicating that the water has reached its standby temperature. When the READY light is displayed, you may take any one of the following steps:

a. Set the timer to the desired time for

timed steaming.

b. Turn the timer knob to the manual ON

position for continuous steam.

c. Let the unit stay at standby temperature.

WARNING WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY FROM STEAM COMING OUT OF THE UNIT. THE STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.

9. To shut down the unit, press the ON switch into the off position. The steam generator will then drain. You may also switch off the pilot switch to conserve energy.

10. If the HY-12/24G Steamer behaves as described, the unit is functioning correctly and ready for use.

Automatic Operation of Pilot

Once the pilot burner is lit, it essentially functions as a standing pilot. In this state, if the pilot is accidentally extinguished (by a very strong gust of wind for example), it will re-ignite automatically. The unit will completely shut down for a few seconds while the pilot is re-ignited. Then the unit will come back on and resume operation in the mode and with the (running) timer value existing just prior to shutdown. The pilot switch may be turned off during “off hours” to conserve energy.

After the unit has been running, if the pilot burner ever fails to re-ignite automatically within 90

OM-HY-12G/24G

Page 10

OM-HY-12G/24G

seconds, wait 5 minutes before you attempt to reactivate it. In the unlikely event that ignition problems persist, contact your authorized Groen Service Agency.

NOTE: For operation at high altitudes (2000 feet and above) please consult the Groen Food Service Engineering Department.

Operation

WARNING ALL POTENTIAL USERS OF THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE TRAINED IN SAFE AND CORRECT OPERATING PROCEDURES.

NO ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT DURING A POWER FAILURE.

NOTE: Before the steamer can be operated as described in this section, the pilot burner flame must be

established. For details see the Initial Start-Up section and the Automatic Operation of Pilot, above.

A. Controls (See Illustration)

Operator controls are on the front right of the unit.

The control panel on new models has the following touch pads and indicator lights:

! The ON/OFF touch pad gets the

HyPerSteam ready for use, or shuts it off.

! The READY indicator light shows that the

steam generator is at standby temperature and the cavity is hot enough to begin steaming.

! The DELIME indicator light is lit when the

unit is operating in the cleaning mode.

! The SERVICE indicator light shows when

the water level probes have stopped working, and need to be cleaned (normally an indication of lime deposits).

When one probe is not working, the SERVICE light flashes briefly every few seconds. If both probes fail, the light flashes continuously and the beeper will sound.

! The HI TEMP indicator light comes on when

the steam generator is too hot.

The unit will automatically shut off, and cannot be turned on again until the steam generator cools and the HI TEMP indicator light goes out.

! The TIMING indicator light stays on when

the timer is running.

! The CLEAN touch pad is used to start the

automatic 30 minute cleaning cycle.

The timer is used in three ways:

1 In the OFF position the steam generator

stays at a “holding” temperature.

2 When a cook time is set, the unit steams

until the timer runs down to OFF. Steaming stops, the DONE light comes on and a beeper sounds.

unit steams continuously. The green light stays lit. The steamer will not time down.

B. Operating Procedure

1. Press the ON switch/pad for the steamer. The steam generator will fill, and heat until the READY light comes on. (About 10 minutes.)

2. Load food into pans in uniform layers. Pans should be filled to about the same levels, and should be even on top.

3. Open the door and slide the pans onto the supports. If you will only be steaming one pan, put it in the middle position.

4. Close the door. With the READY indicator lit, take one of the following steps:

! If you want to steam the food for a certain

length of time, set the timer for that period. The timer will automatically run the steamer for the set time and then turn it off.

A red light will come on and a beeper will sound. Steam production stops.

! If you want to steam continuously, turn the

timer to the manual ON position. A green light will come on. The unit will continue steaming until you stop it by turning the timer to OFF. When steaming continuously YOU MUST CONTROL STEAMING TIME.

WARNING WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY FROM THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE UNIT. THE STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.

5. Open the door. Remove the pans from the steamer, using hot pads or oven mitts to protect your hands from the hot pans.

6. To shut down the unit, press the ON switch/pad to OFF. The steam generator will automatically drain.

Cleaning

To keep your steamer in proper working condition, clean it periodically by the following procedure. Regularly scheduled cleaning will reduce the effort required in cleaning the steam generators and cavities.

A. Suggested Supplies

1. Mild detergent

2. Stainless steel exterior cleaner, like Zepper from Zep Manufacturing Company.

3. Groen Delimer p/n114800, Lime-A-Way (from Ecolab) or equivalent de-liming agent. De-liming agent should contain phosphoric acid, not to exceed 30% total volume. See warning about

chlorides and sulfamic acid below.

4. Groen Spray Degreaser p/n140830.

5. Cloth or sponge

6. Plastic wool or a brush with soft bristles

7. Spray bottle

8. Measuring cup

9. Nylon pad

10. Towels

11. Plastic disposable gloves

12. Funnel

B. Procedure

1. Unit Exterior

a. Prepare a warm solution of mild detergent as

instructed by the supplier. Wet a cloth with this solution and wring it out. Use the moist cloth to clean the outside of the unit. Do not allow freely running liquid to touch the flue, exhaust outlet, controls, control panel, any electrical part, or any open louver.

b. To remove materials stuck to the unit, use

plastic wool, a fiber brush, or a plastic or rubber scraper with detergent solution. Do not use any metal material (such as metal sponges) or metal implements (such as a spoon, scraper, or wire brush) that might scratch the surface. Scratches make the surface hard to clean and provide places for bacteria to grow. Do not use steel wool, which may leave particles imbedded in the surface and cause corrosion and pitting.

WARNING

BEFORE CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE STEAMER, DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY.

KEEP WATER AND CLEANING SOLUTIONS OUT OF CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. NEVER HOSE OR STEAM CLEAN ANY PART OF THE UNIT.

DO NOT MIX DE-LIMING AGENTS (ACID) AND DE-GREASERS (ALKALI) ANYWHERE IN THE UNIT.

TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID CONTACT WITH ANY CLEANERS, DE-LIMING AGENT, OR DE-GREASER, AS RECOMMENDED BY

THE SUPPLIER. MANY CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, AND CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF EACH CLEANING AGENT.

EVEN WHEN THE UNIT HAS BEEN SHUT OFF, DO NOT PUT HANDS OR TOOLS INTO THE COOKING CHAMBER UNTIL THE FAN HAS STOPPED TURNING.

DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT UNLESS THE TWO REMOVABLE INTERIOR PARTITIONS HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO THEIR PROPER LOCATIONS.

DO NOT USE A CLEANING OR DE-LIMING AGENT THAT CONTAINS ANY SULFAMIC ACID OR ANY CHLORIDE, INCLUDING HYDROCHLORIC ACID (HCI). TO CHECK FOR CONTENT OF THESE SUBSTANCES, REFER TO THE "MATERIAL SAFETY DATA" SHEET PROVIDED BY THE CLEANING AGENT MANUFACTURER.

IMPORTANT DO NOT USE ANY METAL MATERIAL (SUCH AS METAL SPONGES) OR METAL IMPLEMENTS (SUCH AS A SPOON, SCRAPER OR WIRE BRUSH) WHICH MIGHT SCRATCH THE SURFACE. SCRATCHES MAKE THE SURFACE HARD TO CLEAN AND PROVIDE PLACES FOR BACTERIA TO GROW. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL, WHICH MAY LEAVE PARTICLES IMBEDDED IN THE SURFACE, WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE CORROSION AND PITTING.

c. Stainless steel surfaces on the outside of the unit may be polished with a recognized
