The HY-5E steamer holds five standard 305 mm
x 508 mm x 64 mm deep pans.
Equipment Description
Your Groen HY-3E or HY-5E 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 electrically heated. A powerful
blower circulates the steam in the cavity to increase heating efficiency.
The cavity holds up to three (HY-3E) or five (HY-5E) standard steam table pans. A 1.5
mm thick 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.
Model HY-3E steamers and HY-5E steamers are equipped with fully electronic
controls and a button activated, pre-programmed CLEAN cycle. These units are readily
identified by their unique control panels, with touch pad controls, and the distinctive
symbol for steam is integrated into the panel.
Both units are distinguished by the addition of a “fuse box” which allows the operator
to 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 305
mm x 508 mm x 64 mm deep pans.
CAUTION
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION
AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT WEIGHS 82 KG (HY-3E) OR 105 KG
(HY-5E). YOU SHOULD GET HELP AS NEEDED
TO LIFT THIS WEIGHT SAFELY.
Inspection & Unpacking
The HY-3E or HY- 5E will be delivered completely assembled in a heavy shipping carton
attached to a skid. On receipt, inspect the carton carefully for exterior damage.
Carefully cut the straps around the carton 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.
When starting installation, lift the unit straight up off the skid. Check packing materials
to make sure loose parts such as the condensate drip tray are not discarded with this
material.
OM-HY/3E(CE) & HY/5E(CE) 5
Water Conditioning
It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale or cause
corrosion. Even though the steam generator is engineered to minimize scale formation
and the effects of corrosion, their development depends on the quality of your water and
the number of hours per day you operate the equipment.
Most water supplies are full of minerals and chemicals which are not suitable for use in
a steam generator.
Water quality varies from state to state and city to city. It is necessary that you know
and understand the quality of the water you are using. Your water utility can tell you
about the minerals and chemicals in your water. The water going to the steam generator
should be within these guidelines
A BSPT connection is provided
at the rear of the steamer.
The optional second water connection can
reduce treated water requirements.
Water Pressure 30-60 psi
PH 7 to 9
Hardness less than 60 ppm
TDS 30 to 60 ppm
Chlorine and Chloramine less than 0.1 ppm
Total Chloride less than 30 ppm
Silica less than 12 ppm
Undissolved Solids less than 5 microns
1. Do not rely on unproven water treatments which are sold for scale prevention or
scale removal. They don’t always work. The best way to prevent scale is to supply
the purest possible water (30 - 60 ppm TDS).
2. If your water contains scale-forming minerals, as most water does, use a wellmaintained water softener. Whether an exchangeable softener cartridge or a
regenerating system is chosen, a regular exchange schedule is essential.
3. Installing a water meter between the softener and the steamer will provide an
accurate gauge of water use, and will help determine when to exchange cartridges
or regenerate the softener. Using a water softener will provide longer generator life,
higher steam capacity, and reduce maintenance requirements.
4. If you notice a slowdown in steam production, have the unit checked for scale
build-up. Heavy scale reduces the unit’s ability to boil water and can even cause
heating elements in the steam generator to overheat and burn out.

WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THE DRAIN DIRECTLY TO A
BUILDING DRAIN. BLOCKING THE DRAIN IS
HAZARDOUS.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE PLASTIC PIPE. DRAIN MUST BE
RATED FOR VERY HOT WATER.
WATER CONNECTION(S)
Water pressure in the line should be between 30 and 60 PSIG (210 and 420 kPa) and
deliver a flow rate of 5.7 to 11.4 liters per minute. If pressure is above 60 PSIG (420
kPa), a pressure regulator will be needed.
A 3/4” BSPT connector is used to attach the water supply to the inlet valves. Minimum
water feed line diameter is 1/2” (13 mm). Use a washer in the hose connection. Do not
allow the connections to leak, no matter how slowly. Treated (softened) water goes to the
right (seen from the rear of the unit) and untreated water goes to the left. Connections
are made as shown on the previous pages.
On each water line, install a WRAS approved double-check valve or an equally
effective back flow preventative device in the incoming cold water lines at the point
of connections to the steamer and in compliance with all local plumbing codes. This
installation must be per WRAS-IRN R160 Schedule 2-15 (1).
Water Quality Requirements: For proper steam generator performance, Total Dissolved
Solids (TDS) should not exceed 30 parts per million (ppm), and the water pH should be
7.1 or higher.
DRAIN CONNECTION
Level the steamer front to back, or even pitch it slightly to the rear by adjusting the bullet
feet on the stand or cabinet base.
8 OM-HY/3E(CE) & HY/5E(CE)
A two inch (50mm) [HY-5E] or 1½ inch (38 mm) [HY-3E] ID hose should be attached to
the drain pipe and elbow supplied. It must be rated for 100ºC water.
There must be at least one-half inch 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 two
inch free air gap.
Install the drain line with a constant downward pitch. IMPORTANT: Do not allow water
traps in the line. A trap can cause pressure build-up in the cavity, which may cause the
door gasket to leak.
Installation & Start-Up
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT DRAIN DIRECTLY
TO THE BUILDING DRAIN.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE PLASTIC PIPE. DRAIN MUST BE
RATED FOR VERY HOT WATER.
Rear view of (2) HY-5E. NOTE: Some drain parts
(elbow, clamps) for single models are packed
inside the steamer cavity. Stacked units are
factory assembled. Installation is the same for
stacked HY-5E and HY-3E units.
FACTORY STACKED UNITS
This section is applicable only if you are installing factory-stacked units. If you plan to
stack steamers yourself, whether purchasing a new one for stacking or a kit to stack
two units you already own, you will require OM-HY-3E(S), RETROFIT SUPPLEMENT (Part
Number 121014). These instructions are also valid for stacking HY-5E steamers.
Installing stacked steamers is similar to installing a single unit. The steamers are stacked
and assembled at the factory and delivered with the water connections and drain hoses
required for a single point connection.
1. Water Connection
The same water supply connection is used for both units. At the water level inlet
valve a 3/4” BSPT connector (garden hose type) is used for the water supply.
Treated water (softened) is connected to the right valve fitting (looking from the
rear of the unit) and untreated water to the left fitting.
2. Electrical Supply Connection
Separate, individual electrical connections will be required for each steamer in the
stack. Each Steamer must have its own branch circuit protection.
3. Water Connection
Steamers must be leveled front to back, or pitched to the rear (maximum 6 mm) by
adjusting the bullet feet on the cabinet or stand base.
For HY-3E a 38 mm (1½ inch) and for HY-5E or 50 mm (2 inch) ID hose may be
attached to the unit drain. It must be rated for 100ºC.
Ensure that there is a free air gap between the end of the unit drain and the
building drain. This gap should be as close as possible to the unit drain. Do not
allow elbows or restrictions between the unit and the free air gap.
Proper Drain Line Connection. Drain Line must
have a constant downward pitch of at least 6
mm (¼”) per foot. Connection is 38 mm (1½”)
for HY-3E, 50 mm (2”) for HY-5E. (3)HY-3E
shown.
COUNTER-MOUNTED UNITS
This section is applicable if the steamer will be mounted to a counter. All four edges of
the bottom of the steamer must be sealed with RTV to the counter if the 4 inch legs are
not used. Counter must be made of a noncombustible material such as metal or tile.

Operation
WARNING
ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE EQUIPMENT
SHOULD BE TRAINED IN SAFE AND CORRECT
OPERATING PROCEDURES.
WARNING
WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY
FROM THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE
UNIT. THE STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.
CONTROLS
Operator controls are on the front right of the unit. The control panel has the following
touch pads and indicator lights. (Your controls may have either words or the symbols
shown below):
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 CLEANING indicator lights 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, but the unit continues to operate. De-lime the unit as
soon as possible. If the problem continues, both probes may fail. Then the
steamer stops working, the light will flash repeatedly and the beeper will
sound. At this point you must turn off the power and contact an Authorized
Groen Service Representative for repair.
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 light goes out.
The TIMING indicator light stays on when the timer is running.
The CLEAN touch pad is used to start the automatic 50 minute cleaning
cycle.
The timer is used in three ways:
1. In the OFF position the steam generator stays at a low boil or “holding”
temperature.
2. When a cook time is set, the unit steams until the timer reaches OFF. The steaming
stops, a red light comes on and a beeper sounds.
3. With the timer turned to the ON position, the unit steams continuously. The green
light stays lit. The steamer will not time down.
