2.0 INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The STHE series steamers are pressureless steam cookers consisting of two independently
controlled compartments enclosed in a single cabinet. Each compartment is equipped with a
separate heavy duty door with inner gasket plate isolated from the exterior surface. Door
latches operate by action for positive sealing of inner door. Operation controls are displayed on
a single front-mounted panel and include separate timers with indicator lights for selection of
constant steam or 60-minute-long duration cooking. Two gas fired, stainless steel generators
operating at “0" psi (0 kPa) and rated at 70,000 BTU (STHE-7-TGG) or 95,000 BTU (STHE-12TGG and STHE-16-TGG) are located in the bottom cabinet and may be operated separately.
BASIC FUNCTIONING
The steamers may be operated with only one compartment in use; or both may be used
simultaneously. Each compartment is equipped with identical controls, allowing selection of
constant steam or 60-minute timer operation. The cooker becomes operational when it is set to
constant steam, or the timer is set at the desired cooking time and the compartment door is
closed.
When steam flowing inside the compartment has raised the interior temperature to 195 degrees
F, the contacts of a thermostatic switch close, completing the circuit to the timer motor and
starting the coking time period. At the end of the set interval, timer contacts switch to shut off
the cooking operation and sound a signal buzzer. The buzzer is silenced by returning the timer
dial to the OFF position. In the constant steam mode, operation will be continuous.
Steam emitted from the compartment along with liquid cooking drainage is directed through a
drain screen inside the compartment into the cooker drain line to the generator drain box that is
automatically actuated by a thermostatic cooling valve to condense the steam to water prior to
discharge into the floor drain.

INSTALLATION
SETTING IN PLACE
The location of installation must be under an exhaust hood, which will remove small amounts of
water vapor emitted when the cooker doors are opened, and exhaust fumes. Level the unit in
final location by turning the adjustable feet. Using the cabinet top as a reference, obtain level
adjustment left-to-right and front-to-back.
MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS
Since the Pressureless Cooker is interconnected at the factory to the steam boiler, no field
connections to the cooker are required. All electrical and plumbing connections are located on
the rear middle panel of the cabinet.

2.0 GENERAL
Gas installation to conform to local codes, or in absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code - ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. In Canada installation to be in accordance with the Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. and or local codes.
1.The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of ½ psig
(3.45 kPa).
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
pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.45 kPa).
Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, installation must be in
accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.2.
WARNING: Electrical grounding instructions - Units come equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. (120 VOLT UNITS ONLY)
WIRING DIAGRAM FOR APPLIANCE IS LOCATED ON RIGHT HAND SIDE PANEL OF THE
COOKER CABINET.
2.1 EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:
Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, kettles, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is
recommended that a canopy extend 6" past the appliance and be located 6' 6" from the
floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the horizontal.
This position prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a
drip pan, usually installed with the filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in
the room and may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames.
Makeup air openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such vacuum. In
case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the
“OFF” position.
2.2 WALL EXHAUST FAN:
The exhaust fan should be installed at least two feet above the vent opening at the top of
the unit.

INSTALLATION (Continued)
GAS CONNECTION:
1.The Serial and Rating Plate on the unit indicates the type of gas your unit is equipped to
burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type.
2.A ¾” NPT line is provided at rear for the connection. Each compartment is equipped with
an internal pressure regulator which is set at 3.5" W.C. manifold pressure for natural gas
and 10" W.C. for propane gas. Use c” pipe tap on the burner manifold for checking
pressure.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume
of gas required for satisfactory performance. A steady supply pressure, between 6" W.C. and
14" W.C. for natural gas and 11" W.C. and 14" W.C. for propane gas is recommended. With all
units operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on all units should not show any
appreciable drop. Fluctuations of more that 25% on natural gas and 10% on propane gas will
create problems, affecting burner operation. Contact your gas company for correct supply line
sizes.
Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt or other foreign matter before connecting the
line to the unit. Use pipe joint compound which is suitable for use with Liquid Propane on all
threaded connections.
Test pipe connections thoroughly for gas leaks.
Use soapy water only for testing on all gases.
Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
All the connections must be checked for leaks
after the unit has been put in operation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
120 VAC-60 Hz - Single Phase
Units with this electrical rating are factory supplied with a three-wire cord and three-prong plug
which fits any standard 120V, three-prong grounded receptacle. A separate 15 amp supply is
needed for each unit.

INSTALLATION (Continued)
COLD WATER CONDENSER:
The steamer is equipped with a cold water condenser, in the rear of the cooking chamber,
which helps to condense the steam prior to discharge into the drain. The steamer freely vents
itself by the negative pressure created by the condensate water drainage. This negative
pressure prevents steam leakage around the door gasket and helps draw the steam through
the cooking compartment. Steam leakage at the door may indicate a plugged or improperly
installed drain.
Temperature of condensate water flowing through the drain is controlled by the thermostatic
cooling valve (TCV) located inside the controls compartment on the right side of the unit. The
valve has been factory set to keep condensate water flowing into the drain at or below 140°F.
Depending on local plumbing code requirements, this setting may be changed to obtain a
different maximum drainage temperature. Refer to next section Performance Check for
instructions to set the (TCV).
WATER CONDITIONING:
It is important that the water supplied to the generator be softened to no more than 2.0 grains of
hardness and have a pH of 7.0 to 8.5. This degree of hardness can be easily obtained with the
use of a properly maintained water softener. The use of a water meter will determine the water
consumption and when the water softener needs regeneration or recharging. Failure to comply
with these water condition standards may void the warranty.
Untreated water contains scale producing minerals which can precipitate onto the surfaces in
the steam generator. Due to the temperatures in the steam generator, the minerals can bake
onto the surfaces and components. This can result in early component failure and reduced
product life. Water level probes become coated with scale. Scale may bridge across the probe
insulator from the metal extension which senses the water level in the steam generator shell.
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 remove minerals from the water.

3.0 PERFORMANCE CHECK
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.
Once the steamer is installed and all mechanical connections have been made, thoroughly test
the steamer before operation.
1. Check that proper water, drain and electrical and gas connections have been made.
2. Turn main power switch ON.
3. Check that “Ignition” light comes on and that burners ignite.
4. After approximately 15 minutes, the “READY” light should come on, indicating that the water
temperature has reached 205º Fahrenheit (97º Celsius). At this time, set timer to the “5
minute” position. With door open, observe that no steam is entering the compartment and
that the “COOKING” light is OFF.
5. Close compartment door. The COOKING light should now illuminate and steam should be
heard entering the compartment shortly after.
6. After five minutes of operation check that water from the cold water condenser is flowing
through the drain line.
7. Open compartment door and observe that steam supply to compartment is cut off.
“READY” light should again come on as “COOKING” light turns “OFF”.
8. Close compartment door and observe cooker operation for several minutes. Operation is
correct if timer dials begin to rotate after a short delay period required for preheating. After
the delay period plus the “5-Minute” initial setting, the timer dials will return to the “0-Minute”
position, at which a buzzer sounds. The buzzer is silenced by turning the dial to the “OFF”
position.
9. With all compartments of the steamer operating in the cooking cycle, check the temperature
of the condensate coming out the drain. If the drain temperature exceeds local plumbing
code requirements, adjust the Thermostatic Cooling Valve (TCV) out for a lower drain
temperature and in for a higher drain temperature. A TCV setting of approximately 2.75
yields a drain temperature of 140°F. A setting of approximately 2.5 or 3 yields temperatures
of 125°F and 155°F, respectively.

TEST KITCHEN BULLETIN
Pressureless Cooker - Facts On Parade
1.Frozen vegetables should always be cooked in perforated 12" x 20" x 2 ½ “ (1/1 65 mm)
pans 7 ½ lb (34 kg) maximum per pan.
2.Frozen entrees should be underlined with a perforated pan for best results. If they are
defrosted first, the heating time will be decreased.
3.Fresh foods may also be cooked in this unit. Vegetables and other foods where the stock
is not to be retained should be cooked in perforated 12" x 20" x 2 ½" (1/1 65 mm) pans for
the most nutritious results.
4.There is a thermostatic time delay built into this unit which adapts the unit to the proper
cooking time. This means that the total time will usually be longer than the time setting.
5.There is a safety microswitch on the door which shuts off the steam each time the door is
opened if the unit is in the cooking cycle.
6.Both compartments may be filled and timers set simultaneously.
7.Total cooking time will vary depending on the load, even though the timer setting is the
same.
8.All foods, except cakes and pastry, can be cooked in a steam cooking unit.
9.Steam cooked meals have greater nutritional value since they retain most of their vitamins
and minerals.
10.Because foods are cooked faster by the higher temperatures of steam cooking, they can
be prepared closer to serving time, insuring maximum freshness.
11.Steam cooked foods have a higher percent yield more portions per dollar spent.

TEST KITCHEN BULLETIN
12.Food may be served from the same pan in which it is steam cooked, thus reducing food
breakage since there is no extra handling or transferring of food from cooking pans to
serving pans. It also reduces pot washing tasks.
13.Some important advantages of steam cooking are labor saving, reduced operating costs,
space saving, and the lifting of heavy stock pots is eliminated.
14.Rice and spaghetti products, if thoroughly wet at the start of the cooking process, are very
easily prepared.
15.Food such as potatoes, poultry, seafood, and some meats may be blanched in the steam
cooker, thus reducing the total cooking time and grease absorption.
16.Fuel is used only when the steam cooking unit is in operation.
17.The steam cooker will loosen foods burned on pans making washing easier.
18.Solid pans are recommended when liquid is to be retained and perforated pans when the
liquid is not to be retained.
19.Eggs may be cooked out of the shell if they are to be chopped which eliminates peeling
after steaming.
20.The steam cooker can be opened during the cooking period to add or remove items.
21.Steam cooking information, including recommended pan size and type, weight per pan,
cooking times and pan yields are given on the following pages of this bulletin.
STEAM COOKING
The Pressureless Cooker is a two compartment unit. The STHE-7-TGG holds seven 12" x 20"
x 2- ½" or four 12" x 20" x 4" pans. The STHE-12-TGG holds twelve 12" x 20" x 2-½” or six 12"
x 20" x 4" pans. The STHE-16-TGG holds sixteen 12" x 20" x 2-½” or eight 12" x 20" x 4" pans.
This enables the cook to prepare foods close to the time of service. The cooking times given
are timer settings and should be set on a preheated compartment. There is a thermostatic time
delay in each compartment that adjusts the total time depending on the temperature and
amount of the food. Therefore, the total time will be greater than the timer setting. At the end
of the timer cooking cycle the buzzer will sound, steam will stop flowing and the food can be
removed.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
GENERAL
The information in this section is intended to assist both the operator and service personnel in
locating the general source of problems that may occur with the cooker. Before following any of
the procedures given in this section, the operator should be thoroughly familiar with the
operating instructions and the function of all controls that are described. If the problem cannot
be readily corrected, the operator should contact the nearest service agency for assistance.
The electrical troubleshooting procedures that follow require access to components and
terminals of the electrical control panel. Electrical controls are reached by removing screws
that fasten the control panel to the frame. The panel may be pulled forward for testing while
interconnected to the cooker circuits or disconnected at the pin connection for complete
removal and repair.
INCOMING POWER
Before troubleshooting any of the electrical parts or assemblies, verify that power is being
supplied to the cooker. Incoming power is connected to the terminal block in the upper controls
section, accessible by the right side panel. With power connected to the cooker, an AC voltmeter is used to measure 120 volts across L1 and L2. If 120 volts is present, and the cooker
will not operate, the fault lies within the electrical circuits of the cooker.
WARNING: Before removing control panel or checking connections
and wiring, be sure that the circuit breaker for incoming power is
OFF. When power is supplied, all exposed terminals of the control
panel carry 120 Volts.
ELECTRICAL FAULT ISOLATION
Correction of an electrical failure first requires isolation of the fault to a single circuit or
component. In most cases, the nature of the failure and its effect upon the operation of the
cooker will be sufficient to narrow it down to one or more circuit elements. See “Electrical Fault
Isolation Guide” for isolating electrical faults.
ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
Before performing the troubleshooting procedures in this section, the serviceman must be
familiar with the function of all controls as described as well as with the Principles of Operation.

The first step in any electrical troubleshooting procedure is a thorough physical inspection of all
wiring connections. To access electrical components, remove the right-side access panel on
the upper cabinet.
Check all wiring connections by hand to assure that both ends of all connection points are
tightly secured. Use a screwdriver to tighten connection points. If necessary, visually inspect
all quick-disconnect terminals for evidence of corrosion. Terminals in this condition should be
separated, cleaned with emery cloth until shiny, and tightly reconnected.

60-MINUTE TIMER
Timer Contacts
Defective timer contacts will result in failure of either cooker compartment to operate. When
this occurs, remove the control pan and proceed as follows:
1. Turn off power to the cooker at external circuit breaker.
2. Disconnect all five wires from timer terminals.
3. Connect an ohmmeter between terminals 1 and 3.
4. Rotate timer dial beyond the “0-Minute” point (any setting) to obtain a reading of zero ohms
on the ohmmeter. If zero ohm reading cannot be obtained, timer contacts are defective and
the timer must be replaced.
5. Move ohmmeter leads to terminals 1 and 4.
6. Rotate timer dial to “0-Minute” position (an audible click indicates correct position). If zero
ohm reading cannot be obtained, the timer is defective and must be replaced.
7. Remove ohmmeter and replace all five leads on timer terminals.
Timer Motor
A defective timer motor will cause continuous operation in the TIME mode, with the timer dial
failing to return to the “0-Minute” position. Since thermostatic switch failure can cause the same
symptom, fault must first be isolated to the timer by testing the thermostat.
To confirm timer motor condition, proceed as follows:
1. Carefully check motor wire leads and tighten loose connections.
WARNING: Use care while working with control panel. Terminals
carry 120 Volts.
2. Turn on power to the steamer.
3. Set timer dial (any setting beyond “0-Minute”). If operation is correct, the motor will turn the
dial toward “0-Minute”. If the motor fails to operate, it is defective and the entire timer must
be replaced.
4. Shut off power to the cooker.

Door Interlock Switch
Malfunction of the cooker door interlock switch prevents timer indicator lights from turning on
and steam solenoid from opening when the timer dial is set. If steam does not enter the
compartment and the cooking indicator light fails to turn on with the door latch securely
engaged, the fault may be in the door interlock switch. Proceed as follows:
1. Turn off power to the cooker.
2. Disconnect wires to the door switch terminals.
3. Connect an ohmmeter between the terminals of the switch.
4. Actuate the switch by closing the cooking compartment door. If a zero reading cannot be
obtained, the switch is defective and must be replaced.
5. Remove the ohmmeter and replace the leads on switch terminals.
Indicator Lights
If the cooker compartment functions correctly, with the single exception that the indicator light
fails to light during operation, the fault is a defective indicator light. A “burned out” or defective
light is verified by using an AC volt-meter at the leads, with input power on the selector switch in
the correct position for that timer, the timer set, and the door latches closed. If 120 volts is
present, the fault is in the indicator light and requires replacement. If 120 volts is not present,
the fault is in the wiring or control components (selector switch, timer or door switch).
Cooking Compartment Thermostatic Switch
A thermostatic switch included in the circuit for the timer motor delays timer operation until
steam flowing into the compartment satisfies the temperature-actuated switch device. If a timer
motor fails to operate within about one minute after the indicator light comes on (with cooker
compartment empty), the cause may be a defective thermostatic switch. To test the switch,
proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the two wires connected to the thermostatic switch terminals.
2. Connect an ohmmeter between the two terminals.
3. Place the cooker into operation and observe ohmmeter dial. Within one minute of
operation, the switch contacts close automatically to register a zero ohm reading on the dial.
If zero ohm reading is not obtained, the switch is defective.
4. Shut off cooker, disconnect ohmmeter leads, and replace wires on switch terminals.

Buzzer
If the buzzer does not sound at the termination of the operator-selected timer setting (timer dial
returned to “0-Minute” position), the fault may be a defective buzzer. Buzzer operation is
verified using an AC volt-meter at buzzer coil connections with input power on and selector
switch and coinciding timer dial set at the “0-Minute” position. If voltage is 120 volts, the fault is
in the buzzer, which must be replaced. If 120 volts is not present, the fault is in the wiring or
control components (timer or selector switch).
Wiring
Using an ohmmeter, wiring continuity between the connections shown on the wiring diagram is
readily verified. This is best done in stages, removing only those wires required for each continuity
check. As each lead is replaced, it should be checked for evidence of corrosion, and cleaned if
necessary. All leads must be tightly attached so as to provide a good electrical connection.

7.0 MAINTENANCE
Door Gasket Replacement
The cooking compartment door gaskets are made of a silicone-type rubber material that is very
durable but subject to wear during normal operation. Should the gasket leak, readjust the door
gasket to the unit or replace it.
Procedure - Replace Gasket:
1. Open the cooking compartment door.
2. Remove the screws from the gasket retaining plate and remove.
3. Remove the old gasket and replace the new gasket.
4. Re-install gasket retaining plate with screws.
5. The door will be very difficult to close initially. Firmly slam the door to close. The gasket will
set in about an hour enabling the door to close easily thereafter.
Exterior Panel Removal
WARNING: To prevent hazard in servicing the cooker, be certain that
the steam supply boiler is shut down, the cold water shut-off valve is
closed, and the electrical disconnect circuit breaker for the
Cooker/Boiler unit is OFF before removing side panels.
Access to all internal plumbing and electrical assemblies is from the right side and right front.
The right-side panel is removed by removing the bottom screw and pushing up on the panel until
the lower lip disengages the frame.
