	IMPORTANT — READ FIRST — IMPORTANT
WARNING:	THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL 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:	SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.
CAUTION:	DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT IN ANY WAY WHICH WILL BLOCK THE SIDE VENTS, OR
	WITHIN 12 INCHES OF A HEAT SOURCE SUCH AS A BRAISING PAN, DEEP FRYER, CHAR
	BROILER OR KETTLE.
CAUTION:	LEVEL THE UNIT FRONT TO BACK, OR PITCH IT SLIGHTLY TO THE REAR, TO AVOID

OM-HY-5E/HY-3E

Equipment Description

Your Groen HY-5E or HY-3E HyPerSteam Convection Steamer is designed to give years of service. It has a stainless steel cavity (cooking chamber) which is served by an independent atmospheric steam generator which is electricallyheated. A powerful blower circulates the steam in the cavity to increase heating efficiency.

The cavity holds up to five (HY-5E) or three (HY-3E) steam table pans (12" x 20" x 2½" deep). An 18 gauge stainless steel case encloses the cavity, the steam generator and the control compartment that houses electrical components. Door hinges are reversible (the door may be set to open from the left or right). Operating Controls are on the front panel.

HY-3E and HY-5E steamers are equipped with fully electronic controls and a button-activated, preprogrammed CLEAN cycle. These units are readily identified by their unique control panels. The OnOff switch is operated by touch pad controls, and the distinctive symbol for steam is integrated into the panel. The new models also have fewer panel louvers on the right side.

From the rear HY-3E and HY-5E units are distinguished 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 helps keep steam from escaping from the chamber and cools drain water.

The HY-3E steamer holds three standard 12" x 20" x 2½” steamer pans.

The HY-5E holds up to five pans.

Inspection and Unpacking

The 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.

CAUTION

THE HY-5E WEIGHS 230 POUNDS (104 KG). THE THE HY-3E WEIGHS 180 POUNDS (82 KG). YOU SHOULD GET HELP AS NEEDED TO LIFT THIS WEIGHT SAFELY.

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.

When starting installation, check packing materials to make sure loose parts such as the condensate drip tray are not discarded with this material.

Water Conditioning

It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale. Even though the steam generator is engineered to minimize scale formation, scale development depends on the hardness of your water and the number of hours per day you operate the equipment.

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 can tell you about the minerals in your water. The water going to the steam generator should have more than 10 to 30 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS) and should have a pH (acidity rating) of 7.0 or higher. 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 unitʼs ability to boil water, and can even cause component failure.

MINIMIZE SCALE PROBLEMS BY USING AND MAINTAINING A SOFTENER AND BY CLEANING (DELIMING) THE STEAMER REGULARLY.

OM-HY-5E/HY-3E

Models built since 1998 have a fuse box mounted on the rear.

On both the HY-3E and HY-5E, the dual water connections are side by side on the rear of the unit. When seen from from the back of the unit, the treated (softened) water intake is on the right.
