Installation
Location & Placement
The Intek Steamer is designed to be placed on a standard, commercial kitchen countertop or on a stainless steel stand. Check with your local health department, but a hood or vent is usually not required for the steamer. Therefore, it may be placed anywhere in the kitchen.
Water Connection
(Auto-Fill Models Only)
The appliance must be connected to a water supply not exceeding 60PSI. Use an NSF approved appliance hose with a ¾” garden hose type connection to connect from a spigot /shut - off valve to the steamer. It must also be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable Federal, State, and Local codes.
Leveling
The steamer must be installed in a level condition.
Countertop Placement
For countertop installation, a non-slip rubber coating is installed on the bottom of the steamer legs. This will keep the steamer from sliding on the countertop under normal use. Adjust the four legs as needed to level the steamer.
To operate, simply turn water supply ON and press the ON Pushbutton. The reservoir will automatically fill to the maximum operating level while the unit preheats to the Hold, Standby, or Cook temperature, depending on Model and settings.
IMPORTANT - Always keep level sensing probes (located inside reservoir) clean. This will help insure proper working conditions.
On a stand
If installing the unit onto a stand, bolt the unit(s) in place at the four locations on the bottom of the cooker, using the hardware provided with the stand. Level the unit(s) by adjusting the four legs on the stand.
Electrical Supply
The Intek Steamer has been designed, manufactured, and tested to meet or exceed the standards of safety set forth by Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. If any of these instructions
are not completely understood, or you have any doubt as to whether your supply receptacle
is of the correct voltage, amperage, or you have any doubt as to whether your supply is
properly grounded, consult a qualified electrician or serviceman.
Power Requirements
The receptacle requirements vary between models. AC power requirements are listed on the data plate located on the rear of the unit. Note that the receptacles that accept the plugs are commonly used in both 208 volt and 240 volt installations. Make sure the voltage at the supply receptacle is within +/- 10% of the voltage listed on the cooker's data plate. Connection to any other voltage may permanently damage your cooker or cause premature component failure.
This type of damage is NOT covered by the warranty.
Hard Wire Option
Optionally, a permanent supply connection may be made using rigid or flexible conduit. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman to ensure all wiring is performed to electrical codes.

Grounding
To reduce the risk of shock in the event of an electrical short circuit, this appliance must be grounded. The unit is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and plug, which must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Under no circumstances should the plug be cut or bent to fit a receptacle other than the one specified.
In-Field Modifications
Any in-field modifications made without written authorization from the Engineering Department will void your warranty. Please call 888-994-7636 to reach the Engineering Department.

Cooking |
Preparing the steamer for use each day requires very little time and effort. Simply fill the steamer with water and preheat.
Filling with Water
At the beginning of each day, pour three gallons of ordinary tap water into the bottom of the cooker. Water usage will depend on what products you are cooking and the length of time the door is open. In most cases three gallons of water will last several hours or more. When the ADD WATER indicating light and buzzer come on, simply refill the unit with water and continue. If a shutdown occured during cooking, the cycle will resume at the point it stopped. However, a time adjustment may be necessary due to the temperature of the water that the unit was
filled with.
Preheating
For best results, the cooker should be preheated before starting the first cook cycle of the day. With the water reservoir full and the unit turned on, turn the timer to 15 minutes and the thermostat to 200°F . When the cycle is complete, the unit will switch to the HOLD mode, at which time the cooker is ready for use.
To begin cooking, place the food to be cooked into the steamer and set the timer to the desired cooking time. When the cycle is complete, the cooker will automatically switch to HOLD mode.
You can check the food at anytime during the cook cycle. Just open the door, check the food, and reclose the door. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TURN THE UNIT OFF.
Holding
Start and follow preheating instructions before holding. To hold food, turn the timer to the HOLD position. The cooker automatically enters the HOLD mode when the cook cycle time expires. However, manual adjustment to the HOLD position is needed to turn off the end-of-cycle buzzer. To prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, it is recommended that you hold food at a temperature of 150˚F or higher.
Cleaning
At the end of each day the steamer should be drained and cleaned. First, turn the cooker off and allow a few minutes for it to cool down. Use caution when draining a warm or hot steamer. Clean with mild detergent, rinse and leave the door ajar.
