2.0 INTRODUCTION

DESCRIPTION

The ETP-5E and ETP-10E are electric fired pressureless steam cookers. The cooking
compartments are equipped with a three-piece door with inner gasket plate isolated from the
exterior surface. Door latch operat es by slam action for positive sealing of the door. O perating
controls are displayed on a front-mounted panel and include indicator lights for ready and
cooking modes, a timer to set cook t imes and a selectable hold cycle to keep food warm once
cooked, a temperature display to monitor cavity temperature, and an illuminated
ON/OFF/DELIME switch.

BASIC FUNCTIONING
The cooker is ready for operat ion when the READY lig ht comes on.
At the end of the set interval, t imer contacts switch to shut of f the cook ing operation and sound

a signal buzzer. The buzzer is silenced by returning the timer dial t o the OFF position. In the

Ο

‘HOLD’ mode, the cooker will maintain a safe food holding temperature at or above 150

F.

Steam emitted f rom the compartment along with liquid cooking drainage is directed through a
removable drain screen inside t he compartment. Drainage from the compartment as well as
from the steam generators, after the appliance is shut-off, is directed to the drain box in the
cabinet base. The drain box condenses the steam prior to dischar ge into the drain.

3.0 INSTALLATION

LOCATION

Allow space for plumbing and electrical connections. Minimum clearances are 3" (74mm) on
the sides and 6" (152mm) on the back for proper air circulation. Allow adequate access for
operating and servicing the steamer, 36" (915mm) at the f ront of the steamer and 15" (381mm)
above the steamer.

MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS
All electrical and plumbing connections are located on the rear panel of the unit. See ‘SERVICE

CONNECTIONS’ on pages 5 and 6 for location of mechanical connections.

WARNING: These procedures must be followed by qualified
personnel or warranty will be voided. An open gap floor drain is
required immediately below the appliance drain.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in t he absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI /NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.2 as applicable.

Ventilation must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with ANSI/NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking
Operations.

WIRI NG DIAGRAM FOR APPLI ANCE IS LOCATED ON RIGHT HAND SI DE PANEL OF THE
COOKER CABINET.

TO INSTALL:

1. Uncrat e car efully. Report any freight dam age to the freight com pany imm ediat ely.

2. Set t he unit in place. Be certain to maintain the minimum clearances from combustibles and
non-combustibles.

3. Using a spirit level or pan of water in the bott om of the steamer, adjust the levelling feet t o
level the steamer front-to-back and side to side.

4. Mark hole locations on the floor through the anchoring holes provided in the flanged
adjustable feet. Remove the steamer and drill holes at marked locations on the floor. I nsert
proper anchoring devices.

5. Set steamer back in proper posit ion.

8

3.0 INSTALLATION (Continued)

6. Install bolts through anchoring holes and into anchors to secure the steamer to the floor.
Seal bolts and flanged feet with Silastic or equivalent.

7. After the dr ain is connected, check for level by pouring water onto the floor of the compartment.
All water should drain through the opening at t he back of the compartment cavity.

WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before
cleaning or servicing.

Make electrical connection through the 1- 1/8" ( 29mm) diameter hole provided using 3/4" (19mm)
trade size conduit. Refer to the wiring diag ram located inside the right side panel. Use 90
minimum insulated wire.

NOTICE: Equipment not installed in accordance with these
guidelines may void the warranty.

CAUTION: An obstructed drain can cause personal injury or
property damage.

WARNING: Plumbing connections must comply with applicable
sanitary, safety, and plumbing codes.

The water supply inlets are provided with 3/8" (10mm) compression fittings f or 3/8" O.D. copper
tubing. The water supply line pressure should be 25-50 PSI ( 1.8-3.5 kg/cm
water supply to the generator tank is separat e from the water supply to the cooling system where
steam is condensed before entering the drain line.

Install line strainers (not provided). A m anual shutoff valve for each supply line must be provided
convenient to the steamer.

We recommend treated water feeding the boiler inlet supply, and untreated water feeding the
cooling system inlet. Hook-ups are labelled on the back of the steamer

DRAIN CONNECTIONS:

WARNING: An open gap floor drain is required immediately below
the appliance drain.

CAUTION: PVC OR CPVC are not acceptable materials for drains.

INSTALLING THE DRAIN ADAPTER

From the rear of the unit, position the drain
adapter hooks through the slot s in the floor of
the cabinet to and align with the holes at the
rear and fasten in place with provided screws.

When m aking the dr ain connection to the 1½”
NPT male thread of the drain adapter, use a
pipe wrench to firmly support the drain
adapter nipple to prevent damage to the
assembly.Once this scale becomes wet, the
water level control is unable to maintain the
proper water level in the steam generator.

STRAINERS and FILTERS will NOT remo ve all miner als from the water.

WATER CONDITIONING:

Untreated water contains scale-producing minerals which can precipitat e ont o the surfaces in the
steam generator. Due to the t emperatures in the steam generat or, the minerals can bake onto
the surfaces and components. This can result in early component f ailure and reduced product
life. W at er level probes become coat ed with scale. Scale may bridge acr oss the pr obe insulator
from the m etal extension, which senses the water level in the steam g enerator shell. O nce this
scale becomes wet, the water level control is unable to maintain the proper water level in the
steam generator.

STRAINERS and FILTERS will NOT treat equipment for scale reduction.
This equipment is furnished with an Aq ua- Pur e® Commercial Series water filtration system. An

initial flushing procedure f or the filter system must be performed before using t his equipment.

3.0 INSTALLATION (Continued)

INITIALISING YOUR AQUA-PURE® COMMERCIAL SERIES WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM

1. From the front of the unit, open the cabinet base door to access the f ilter system.

2. Turn on the water to the filt er system .

3. To remove the short tube from the flush valve, press the retaining collar in t oward the

valve and remove the tube. Insert the 1/4" tube pr ovided by firmly inserting it into the
fitting. Run the tubing to the drain.

4. Turn flush valve “ON” and flush the cartridge to remove any entrapped air and carbon

fines. The time to flush is two minutes. Turn FLUSH VALVE to “OFF”. The system is
now ready for use.

Filter Status Indicators: Three LEDs, green to indicate
“Active

WARNING: The steamer and its parts are hot. Use care when
operating, cleaning or servicing the steamer. The cooking
compartment contains live steam. Stay clear while opening door.

TESTING UNIT

Once the steamer is installed and all mechanical connections have been made, thoroug hly test
the steamer before operation.

1. Check that proper water, drain and electrical connections have been made.

2. Turn main power switch ON. After approximately 10 minutes, the “READY” light should
come on, indicating that the water tem per ature is approximately 200

3. When the “READY” lig ht comes on, set timer to t he “5 minute” position. With door open,
observe that no steam is entering the compar tment and that the “COOKING” light is OFF.

4. Close compar tm ent door. T he CO OKING light should now be illuminated and steam should
be heard entering the compartment after about 45 seconds.

5. T he tempering tank does not discharge to drain until the water in the top of the tank reaches

Ο

F or the unit is shut off and t he generators are allowed to drain.

6. Open compartment door and observe that steam supply to chamber is cut off. “READY”
light should again come on as “COOKING ” light goes “OFF”.

7. Close compartment door and let cooking cycle finish. When the timer returns to “0" position,
a buzzer will sound signaling the end of t he cooking cycle. Buzzer must be m anually turned
off by setting the t im er t o its “OFF” position.

8. Complete the above steps for each cooking compar tment.

9. To shut the steamer down, turn the main power switch OFF and leave the compartment
doors slightly open to allow the inside to dry out.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Clean the protective oils from all surfaces of the steamer. Use a non-cor r osive, grease

dissolving commercial cleaner, following manufacturer’s directions. Rinse thoroughly and wipe
dry with a soft clean cloth.
