Loading & Unloading
CSL
CSM
CSB
CSG
Your Sure Chef Combi-Steamer includes a Mobile Oven Rack that is integral to the unit’s
operation. All food product is loaded onto the oven rack which is then loaded into the
cooking cabinet.
• Floor Models–CSB/M/L-20 and 40, and CSG-20, use Mobile Oven
Racks designed to roll directly into cabinets. Door closes and seals
around Mobile Oven Rack.
• Counter Models–CSB/M/L-6, 10 and 1020, and CSG-10 and 12
utilize Transport Carts upon which Mobile Oven Racks may be
placed. The Transport Cart is rolled up to the unit, and the Mobile
Oven Rack rolls directly into the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: During the loading and unloading process for counter
models, lock front casters of Transport Cart when car t is stationary. Lock
front wheels on Mobile Oven Rack with locking lever near right front wheel.
Unlock wheels of Mobile Oven Rack ONLY when rolling in or out of unit.
This will keep Mobile Oven Rack stable on Transport Cart.
Full Loads
To Load
• Place food product on appropriate grids, pans and racks. Load onto Mobile Oven Rack.
• Preheat unit to desired temperature.
•Open door slightly until fan stops and heat dissipates. Open door fully with care.
• (Floor models) Roll loaded Mobile Oven Rack directly into unit.
(Counter models) Roll loaded Mobile Oven Rack on Transport Cart up to unit.
Lock front casters on Transport Cart to prevent movement. Release wheel lock on
Mobile Oven Transport Cart and roll into unit.

Partial Loads
Individual pans or racks of product can be easily loaded or unloaded while the unit is in
operation.
•Open door slightly until fan stops and heat dissipates. Open door fully with care.
• Load or unload pans or racks directly to or from Mobile Oven Rack in unit. It is not
necessary to remove Mobile Oven Rack.
• Shut door. Cooking process continues automatically.
X
Opening Door During Operation
Open door slightly to allow hot steam and/or vapors to escape. KEEP FACE AND HANDS AWAY FROM OPENING or
burns could result. When steam and/or heat has dissipated open door fully with care. Escaping hot steam and/or vapors
can cause serious burns. Interior surfaces extremely hot, including pans, grids and oven racks. To prevent burns, allow
unit to cool, or use appropriate heat resistant protective mitt or pad when handling.
Tips
• No flavor transfer occurs during cooking, so consider load by the type of cooking mode
(Steam, Convection, Combination) being used.
•When cooking for longer periods, or on Continous cooking, load items that will be done
sooner toward the front of the rack. These can be removed individually when done.
• For greatest efficiency, try to cook with full loads. In general, cooking times and temperatures are not affected by the quantity of product in the cooking cabinet.
•When loading roasts, or large cuts of meat, place product directly on racks and load near
the bottom of the Mobile Oven Rack. Load an empty pan directly beneath roast to catch
drippings and roast bones.
• For counter models, consider ordering Combi-Steamer Base Units. Several styles are
available that include enclosed pan storage for convenient access to pans, grids and racks.

Steam mode–for moist heat
The steam generator produces hygienic steam and releases it pressureless into the cooking cabinet
where it is is circulated at high speeds by the fan. The unit’s control system allows only as much steam
into the cabinet as the food is able to absorb. The cooking temperature in this mode can be regulated
from 86°F (30°C) to 265°F (130°C) to accomplish Tender Steaming as well as normal steaming.
Convection mode–for dry heat
Powerful heating elements heat the air inside the cabinet. The fan circulates this hot, dry air evenly
throughout the interior. Temperature can be regulated precisely between 86°F (30°C) to 575°F
(300°C)
• Cooking environment can be manipulated extensively with additional functions and SDHC.

Tips
• Determine which foods can be cooked together for the greatest efficiency. This is best
done by considering the cooking modes and temperatures. Keep in mind that fish,
meat, vegetables, fruit, etc can be cooked at the same time because there is no flavor
transfer.
• Potatoes should always be cooked in perforated pans. This allows steam to circulate
for faster, more even cooking.
• In general, two shallower pans are better than one deeper pan. This avoids bruising.
• Dumplings should be placed in shallow pans not too close together.
• Rice is the only type of food to which water must be added prior to cooking. Longer
soaking times mean shorter cooking times.
•Tomatoes can be skinned easily when steamed for 30 to 60 seconds, then chilled in
cold water.
• Stock can be collected by inserting a container in the bottom of the mobile oven rack.

Tips
Cooking times
Proper cooking times will vary depending on the quality, weight or size of the product.
Generally, cooking time is not affected by the size of the load. However, avoid overloading
grids or pans so air will circulate evenly around product.
Roasting, broiling
• Always preheat unit at 575°F (300°C), then set to desired temperature.
• For steaks, chops, cutlets, or loin cuts, 1/2” to 1” thickness is ideal.
• Cook on grids with drip pans below. This allows even browning on sides and bottom.
• Try to place similar sized product on same grids.
Browning, finishing
Preheat to 575°F (300°C), or until light goes out. After loading, set to desired temperature.
Fish
Do not cover with flour.
For whole fish, wrap tail in foil and support it from underneath with raw potatoes.
Cook in previously unheated enameled pans.
Baking
• Preheat to baking temperature. In general, Combi-Steamer baking temperatures
will be 70°F to 80°F (20°C to 25°C) LOWER than traditional ovens.
•When baking bread and rolls, use only every second rack. Baking trays should not
be higher than 2 3/4” (7.0 cm).
• When baking frozen prepared food items, preheat to 575°F (300°C), do not defrost.
Then set to desired baking temperature, load and begin.
• Defrost frozen bread dough and let rise for a short time before baking.
• When baking full loads of “wet” product (frozen or dough), remove built-up humidity
with SDHC* or open door briefly.

Tips
•To ensure even cooking and browning, always cook roasts on grids with plenty of
space around each roast for air to circulate.
• When practical, place meat grain parallel to the air circulation for even better results.
• Cook large, fat encrusted roasts in STEAM mode for the first one-third of the total
cooking time. This helps seal in juices, flavors and nutrients, and reduces shrinkage.
• Condensation and juices can be collected in a pan under the roasts, to be used later
with roasted bones for sauce stocks.
• Use chicken grid to roast whole chickens upright for even cooking and browning.
• When combi-steaming poultry and other juicy items, use SDHC* to regulate humidity
in the cooking environment (CSL, CSM models, only).

Tips
Cooking times
The same principles for Steam mode apply. Generally, the lower the cooking temperature, the longer the cooking time.
Cooking temperatures
Approximate temperature ranges for some common items that can be Tender Steamed:
Soup garnishings:167°F to 194°F (75°C to 90°C)
Fish, seafood:149°F to 194°F (65°C to 90°C)
Pork, veal:161°F to 167°F (72°C to 75°C)
Chicken/white meat:167°F to 185°F (75°C to 85°C)
Chicken/dark meat:176°F to 194°F (80°C to 90°C)
Poultry (other):176°F (80°C)
Beef, lamb:135°F to 165°F (58°C to 74°C)
Desserts:149°F to 194°F (65°C to 90°C)
Seasoning
Season lightly. A food’s natural food taste, as well as the taste of seasonings, is intensified
by low temperature cooking. For this reason, also use less essences or reducing agents.
Texture, appearance
Tender Steaming is especially valuable in preparing certain foods for presentation in
display merchandisers.
• Excellent color
• Firm structure for clean portioning
• Less shrinkage, for plump, taught skins
• Fewer and smaller “bursts”, even when skin is damaged

Tips for Probe Cooking
• When roasting meat for sliced cold servings, food probe temperature should be set
approximately 9°F (5°C) lower than normal “done” temperature because the roast
continues to cook as it cools.
•A hot probe may sear the meat on contact, leaving a hole or scar when probe is
removed. Always cool the probe prior to insertion.
•Probe “done” temperature can be changed or reset at any time in the cooking process.
Example
The fully-cooked internal temperature of a roast may be 176°F (80°C). But, you may
wish to change modes or accelerate the cooking time when the internal temperature
reaches140°F (60°C). At that point, change mode, increase cooking temperature and
reset probe “done” temperature to the fully cooked setting.
X
Probe sensor may be extemely hot. When not in use, always place in holder. Do not let probe
sensor hang loose outside the cooking cabinet. Remove probe sensor from food before unloading
unit.

Additional Functions: Pulse Fan
Fan operates intermittently
CSL
PULSE FAN is a control feature that runs the fan on and off at intervals.
It is available only on CSL models
Advantages
•Creates a gentler cooking environment, and promotes even cooking at lower
temperatures.
• Conserves energy over longer cooking times
• Helps control climate for slow-cooking
Advantages of Slow Cooking
• Meat tenderizes as it cooks, releasing tastier juices
• Meat retains moisture and juices, resulting in less shrinkage and weight loss.
This means more portions served per uncooked pound.
• Convenience of cooking and holding overnight, with no super vision necessary
• Energy efficient and economical way to prepare roasts
Cooking Examples
Consider using PULSE FAN when cooking medium to large cuts of meat, such as
leg of lamb, beef roast, cured ham, leg of veal, pork roast, turkey.
Operation
PULSE FAN can be used in any MODE
• Select desired cooking time, temperature
and/or probe “done” temperature
or
• Select SPECIAL FUNCTION
• Select PULSE FAN.
Display will light when activated.
55
Page 57
Tips
• When cooking roasts, Pulse Fan can be used after the internal temperature reaches 140°F
(60°C). At that point, it is not necessary to maintain the cooking temperature with the fan
running constantly. The existing heat is enough to complete the cooking process with Pulse Fan
operation.
• Pulse Fan can be programmed at any stage of the cooking process.
• For low temperature cooking, experiment by using Pulse Fan along with the Half Speed Fan
and/or Half Energy features to create the desired gentle cooking environment for various items.
• Use SDHC to remove excess moisture from the cabinet.
Two-Stage Slow Cooking
1. After preheating, roast for a short time at temperatures from 248°F (120°C) to 356°F (180°C).
2. For the duration of the cooking process, set at low temperatures, from 135°F (57°C) to 194°F
(90°C) using Pulse Fan. As the internal food temperature rises and the cabinet temperature
decreases, both environments converge to a point at which cooking and holding can continue
for up to 24 hours without overcooking.

Simple Slow Cooking
Often done overnight, this process simply establishes the proper difference between cabinet and
probe temperatures–the rest is automatic. As a general rule, set the cooking temperature 9°F
(5°C) above the desired probe “done” temperature for the item you are cooking.
When holding, reduce the cabinet temperature to match the probe “done” temperature.
Foods cannot be cooked and held for more than 24 hours.

Additional Functions: Delta-T Cooking
Specialized cooking method
CSL
DELTA-T cooking is a special built-in function that automatically causes the cooking
temperature to rise slowly, in direct proportion to the rise in the internal temperature of
the food product. The Delta-T, or “difference in temperature” is the constant difference
between the two.
Advantages
• Creates a specific, gentle cooking process for hams and large cuts of marinated meat
• Causes proteins to coagulate and meat fibers to swell, retaining juices and nutrients
• Rapidly created outer crust prevents loss of proteins and other nutrients
Operation
DELTA-T function can be used in any MODE
• Select desired cooking MODE
• Select PROBE COOKING and set desired
“done” TEMPERATURE
• Select SPECIAL FUNCTION
• Select DELTA-T
• Enter Delta value using temperature selection keys
Tips
• In general, the Delta-T, or temperature difference determines the cooking time. The
greater the difference, the faster the item will cook. Experience has shown that the
Delta-T should not be less than 68°F (20°C), nor greater than 158°F (70°C).
• The Delta-T function can be programmed, making the process automatic

Due to the size of the steam generator, the left side of the unit weighs more than the right side. This weight
difference must be compensated by placing the lifting device more towards the left side of the unit, or damage
to the unit or personal injury could result.

Minor unevenness of the surface/floor can be compensated by adjusting the metal legs of the stand or the
appliance. The weight of the units are as follows:
CSG-10 556 lbs. (252 Kg)
CSG-12 529 lbs. (240 Kg)
CSG-20 1015 lbs. (460 Kg)
Do Not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to and from the unit. DO NOT obstruct the
ventilation holes in the panels of the unit, as these provide the combustion air for the burner, or damage
to the unit could result.
VENTILATION-CSG
The gas Combi-Steamers all should be located with a provision for venting into an adequate exhaust hood or ventilation
system. We recommend you consult a local ventilation or heating company to help in designing an adequate system.
NOTE: Ventilation must conform to local, state, and national codes. Consult your local fire department or building
authorities.
Ventilation of CSG-12:
NOTE: The Combi-Steamer CSG-12 is not suitable for connection to Type B Gas Vent and must be installed under a
ventilation hood.
Your Henny Penny Combi-Steamer CSG-12 is shipped fully assembled. In a second smaller carton you will find a
draft hood which has to be assembled to the unit.
Ventilation of CSG-12 table top version:
The draft hood must be assembled over the two flue outlets at the back of the Combi-Steamer CSG-12.
Ventilation of CSG-12 stacked version:
The stacked version kit comprises two different draft hoods, one with a single outlet and the second with a double
outlet.
A flue riser completes the stacked version flue assembly. Fix the single outlet draft hood over the flue outlets of
the lower unit. Place the flue riser over the top flue collar of the draft hood. Attach the double outlet draft hood
over the flue outlets of the upper unit so that the flue riser projects into the lower opening of this draft hood.
Ventilation of CSG-10:
The draft hood must be installed over the flue risers on top of the Combi-Steamer CSG-10 when the flue gas is discharged via a Type B gas vent.
When the flue gas of a CSG-10 is discharged to a ventilation hood the draft hood will not be installed.
Ventilation of CSG-20:
The draft hood must be installed over the flue risers on top of the Combi-Steamer CSG-20 when the flue gas is discharged via Type B gas vent.
When the flue gas of a CSG-20 is discharged to a ventilation hood the draft hood will not be installed.

WATER SUPPLY-CSG
The Combi-Steamer should only be connected to a cold water supply which meets the quality requirements by the EPA on
drinking water. Soft water must be at least 5 or 6 grains.
The recommended water supply pressure is 44 psi, but 22 to 87 psi will work.
Should the water pressure exceed 87 psi, a pressure regulator must be installed into the supply line or damage to
the unit could result.
Both water and gas connections are 3/4” NPT fittings. Be sure to connect to proper pipe. Check label on unit for each.
The water connection is done on a 3/4” NPT thread fitting, and a manual shut-off valve must be installed between the main
cold water supply and the units supply line.
A minimum water conductivity of 20 micro Siemens is required for proper operation, If below this figure the
steam generator will over-fill.
NOTE: A check valve is built into the unit to prevent backflow.
DRAIN CONNECTION-CSG
The Combi-Steamer is to be installed to comply with the applicable Federal, State, or local plumbing codes.
The unit has an integrated vented drain system which acts as a reverse flow check valve, so it may be connected directly
with a P-trap to the drain system.
The drain must have a constant slope and a diameter of 2 inches over its entire length to ensure sufficient
discharge during Auto Flush from the steam generator, which is 3/4 quarts per second.
The drain must be steam temperature resistant pipe, which average drain temperature is 150°F (65°C). No hose
should be used.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY-CSG
The gas Combi-Steamer requires 120 volt, single phase, 60 Hertz, 15 amp, 3 wire grounded ser vice. The gas unit
is factory equipped with a grounded cord and plug.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE GROUND PLUG. This unit MUST be adequately and safely grounded or
electrical shock could result. Refer to local electrical codes for correct grounding procedures or in
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1 latest edition and electrical code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990 latest edition. In Canada, all electrical connections are to be made in accordance
with the CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2 installation code and/or local code and the Canadian electrical code,
Part 1, CSA C22.1.
Before connecting incoming power to the unit, no more than 120 volts should show at each leg to ground.
Connecting a high leg to the black lead of the unit will severly damage many electrical components in the
unit and void all warranties. Call your local electrician or electric power supply company.
NOTE: The unit will not function and the reset signal will stay on with the white wire connected to the live black wire
and the black connected to neutral. An electrical schematic is located behind the left side panel of unit. A separate
fused disconnect switch, or circuit breaker, must be installed for each unit.
GAS SUPPLY-CSG
The gas Combi-Steamer is factory available for either natural or propane gas. Check the data plate to determine
the proper gas supply requirements.
DO NOT attempt to use any gas other than that specified on the data plate. Conversion kits can be
installed by your distributor if required. Incorrect gas supply could result in a fire or explosion resulting
in severe injuries and/or property damage.
To avoid possible serious personal injury, the installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988 or latest edition. In Canada,
CAN/CGA-B 149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA-B 149.2 Propane Installation Code.
All Henny Penny Combi-Steamers are equipped with two heat exchanger systems. One is responsible for steam
production, the second for convection heat. Each individual heat exchanger is heated with a separate burner
assembly.

RIGHT
MINIMUM PULL of equipment away from
wall permissible for accessibility to
Quick Disconnect Device
WRONG
AVOID SHARP BENDS AND KINKS when
pulling equipment away from wall. (Maximum
pull will kink ends, even if installed properly,
and reduce Connector life.)
CABLE RESTRAINT
Please refer to the illustration below when
installing cable restraint on all moveable units.
Couplings and hose should be installed in
the same plane as shown at left. DO NOT
OFFSET COUPLINGS – this causes torsional
twisting and undue strain causing premature
failure.
This is the correct way to install metal hose
for vertical travers. Note the single, natural
loop.
Allowing a sharp bend, as shown at right,
strains and twists the metal hose to a point of
early failure at the coupling.
Maintain the minimum or larger bending
diameter between the couplings for longest
life.
Closing in the diameter at the couplings, as
shown at right, creates double bends causing
work fatigue failure of the fittings.
In all installations where “self-draining” is not
necessary, connect metal hose in a vertical
loop.
DO NOT CONNECT METAL HOSE
HORIZONTALLY...unless “self-draining”
is necessary then use support on lower plane
as shown at left.
I-bolt is to be secured to the building using
acceptable building construction practices.
DRYWALL CONSTRUCTION
Secure I-bolt to a building stud.
DO NOT attach to drywall only. Also,
locate the I-bolt at the same height as
the gas service. Preferred installation is
approximately six inches to either side
of service. Cable restraint must be at
least six inches shorter than flexible
gas line.
Utilize elbows when necessary to avoid
sharp kinks or excessive bending. For
ease of movement, install with a “lazy”
loop. Gas appliance must be disconnected prior to maximum movement.
(Minimum movement is permissible for
hose disconnection.)

GAS SUPPLY (continued)
A steam burner gas valve and dr y heat burner gas valve respectively are responsible for the gas supply to the individual burners. The Combi-Steamer models CSG have manual shut-off valves, that can be reached from the front
without tools.
The manual shut-off valves of these units are located behind the service cover under the operator panel. To operate the valves, unscrew the 2 knurled screws and pull the service cover off.
GAS LEAK TEST-CSG
After the piping and fittings have been installed, check for gas leaks. A simple checking method is to turn on the
gas and brush all connections with a soap solution. If bubbles occur, it indicates escaping gas. In this event, the
piping connection must be redone.
Never use a lighted match or open flame to test for gas leaks. Escaping gas could cause an explosion resulting in
severe personal injury and/or property damage.
GAS PRESSURE-CS
The gas pressure should be measured when all other gas appliances in the kitchen are on high flame. The minimum and maximum incoming line flow pressures should be as follows:
Natural: 7-11” water column
Propane: 11” water column
During pressure testing note the following:
1. The Combi-Steamer and its individual shut-of f valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa). Turn OFF main
gas shut-off valve or main gas supply line.
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
3. If incoming w.c pressure is over 14” w.c. a separate regulator must be installed before the manual gas
shut-off valve.
71
Page 73
CSG
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL VALVE REGULATOR DURING INITIAL TURN ON OF GAS IT IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO OPEN MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE VERY SLOWLY.
NOTE: After turning on the gas, the manual shut-off valve must remain open, except during pressure testing as outlined in the
above steps, or when necessary during service maintenance.
This incoming pressure reading can be taken by installing a gas pressure gauge on the front of the unit’s main gas valves
test port. This should be done with all gas appliances in operation on the same gas supply line. Should the manifold pressure drop below the desired level, consult your local gas utility ser vice.
