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.

Installation & Start-Up
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 RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE VENTS BLOCKED OR WITHIN 305 mm OF A HEAT SOURCE (SUCH AS A BRAISING PAN, DEEP FRYER, CHAR BROILER OR KETTLE). TO AVOID DRAINAGE PROBLEMS, LEVEL THE UNIT FRONT TO BACK.
CAUTION THE UNIT MUST HAVE A SEPARATE GROUND WIRE FOR SAFE OPERATION.
WARNING TO AVOID DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, FOLLOW THE ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC EXACTLY WHEN CONNECTING THE UNIT.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CONNECTION
1. Panel Removal
Open the wiring and control panel by removing the screws on the right side panel.
Slide the panel forward, and set it aside.
2. Supply Voltage
The unit must be operated at the rated nameplate voltage.
3. Phase Selection
Refer to heater schematics (Pages 21 and 22) for wiring information.
4. 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.
5. Supply Wire
To determine the type of wire you need for the power supply, find the operating
voltage and phase on the unit data plate. Use the correct wire size to meet the current demand as shown in the table, below and as required by regulations. The knockout hole is sized for a 35 mm conduit fitting.
The HY-3E HyPerSteam™ and HY-5E model convection steamers operate at 400
Volts (Three Phase ‘delta” with Neutral) or 230 Volts (One Phase). Separate part numbers are offered for 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation to supply the appropriate electro-mechanical timer, since they synchronize with the Mains Power frequency.

6. Equipotential Terminal
In accordance with national regulations, each unit are fitted with an equipotential
terminal.
7. Branch Circuit Protection
Each HY-3E Steamer should have its own branch circuit protection. Current and
power demands for the different units are as shown in the table on page seven.
The equipotential terminal is located on the left rear of the units.
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.
