OPERATION
THEORY OF OPERATION:
Compared to other steam cookers with complicated boilers, the Southbend 2001 is a very simple machine. The
bottom, or floor, of the compartment is heated. Water flows onto this heated surface, boils, and turns to steam. A fan
circulates the steam in the compartment when the door is closed. There is no pressure.
All equipment must be installed correctly to insure proper operation and reliable service. Installation instructions
must be followed by a qualified technician.
Before you turn the unit on, be sure that you have: POWER to unit, WATER to unit, and OPEN DRAIN. NOTE:
Your Southbend Convection Steamer must be thoroughly cleaned every day.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE VINEGAR OR ANY CORROSIVE CLEANER. USE ONLY CLEANERS
APPROVED FOR STAINLESS STEEL.
Before starting the unit, review the following:
A. Be sure overflow pipe in back right hand comer of the cooking compartment is in position.
B. Be sure the drain outlet is not blocked in any way. (The Southbend 2001 drain line must be free venting.)
C. Be sure the pan supports and fan guard are well secured.
D. Be sure the drip pan is in proper position with the drain hole located above the drain outlet.
CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. For manual operation, press right-hand rocker switch to "MANUAL" and select your choice on left-hand rocker
switch, "HI or LO." Red and amber lights on switch turn on when it's "HI" power and amber light only when it's "LO" power. Unit is now in operation and will be generating steam in a few minutes (approximately 4
minutes from a cold start).
2. For automatic timed operation, press right-hand rocker switch to "AUTOMATIC" and select your choice on
left-hand rocker switch "HI" or "LO." Set timer by positioning knob pointer to desired time. When time elapses,
buzzer will sound. Buzzer may be shut off by moving selector switch to "MANUAL," shutting unit off,
resetting to a new time, or turning knob counter clock-wise past "0" time to Hold/Off position.
3. To restart timer, set to new time marking.
NOTE: For short time settings (under 20 minutes) first turn knob past "30" setting then back to desired time.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TURNING OFF BUZZER:
The Southbend Steamer is supplied with a continuous ring buzzer. This buzzer is activated automatically in the
automatic mode of operation when the cooking cycle is complete. This buzzer can be turned off by:
1. Resetting to a new time.
2. Shut unit off (left hand switch to middle position).
3. Set the right-hand rocker switch to manual.
4. Turn knob full counterclockwise past "0" time to Hold/Off position.

MAINTENANCE
Southbend equipment is sturdily constructed of the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable service when treated
with ordinary care. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily.
Naturally, the periods for this care and cleaning depend on the amount and degree of usage.
DAILY CLEANING:
Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance long-life for your equipment. Climatic conditions —
salt air — may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equipment could be adversely affected.
As with any cooking utensil, the unit should be thoroughly washed with a mild detergent and warm water every day.
Remove the pan supports, drip pan, fan guard, and overflow pipe. Wash separately.
All water will drain out of the compartment. Clean all interior surfaces, including the fan and heating element with a food equipment
cleansing and de-liming solution. Rinse with clean water.
Return all cleaned parts to the unit to make ready for the next day's operation.
It is advisable to leave door open when the unit is not in use. This allows the unit to dry thoroughly after cleaning and also prolongs
the life of the door seal.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY CORROSIVE CLEANER. USE ONLY CLEANERS APPROVED FOR
STAINLESS STEEL.
STAINLESS STEEL: To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and
water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use
vinegar or any corrosive cleaner.
To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a damp
cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as
gently as possible in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB
WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be
removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRTTE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE
ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the
finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR
OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean.
Marring also increases the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.
TO REMOVE HEAT TINT: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by a thickening of the protective surface of the stainless
steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this
procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a
STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not
applying or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.

SPORADIC LOW WATER LIGHT
OVERHEATING ELEMENTS-POSSIBLE ELEMENT MELTDOWM
Please insert this bulletin in the ST-Steamer section of your master Southbend
manual behind 2001 Convection Steamer Manual #1173012.
We have had some units where the electric elements actually melt down. In all
cases the high limit control had either been adjusted or the unit had been
miss-wired. If you have problems with the low water light coming on and the
unit shutting down, please check, the following: DO NOT ADJUST THE HIGH LIMIT
CONTROLS.
1. Check the interior cavity bottom for lime/mineral build up. If
lime/mineral build up exists, clean following the instructions in the
manual. Note: Lime build up acts as an insulator.
2. Be sure that during operation-the water level is at the top of the
stopper to the overflow point, and of uniform depth throughout the
cavity. If water level is uneven, level the unit. If the water level
is not -at the top of the stopper check the following:
a. Be sure there is no lime build up on the stopper or the drain
opening. If there is, clean following the instructions in the
manual.
b. Be sure the stopper fits properly so the water is forced to drain
over the top and not around the stopper.
c. Be sure water flow into the unit is sufficient to provide the
proper water level. If not take what ever steps are necessary
to assure same.
3. Check the boiling pattern of the water on the interior cavity bottom.
The pattern should be in the shape of the 3 elements. If the boiling
pattern is good this means the heat transfer is good. If the boiling
pattern is not good there is bad heat transfer - you will probably
have to remove the elements, apply a new coat of thermal grease, and
then reinstall the elements. Note:' The bottom must be flat to
assure a good contact. Please refer to the manual.
4. The high limit is set to shut down the unit when the element reaches
450 degrees. (The normal operating element temperature is
approximately 370 degrees). You can check the element temperature by
using a temperature probe (remove element cover and go through the
rear of the unit). Sense the element where the high limit bulb
contacts the element.
5. Be sure the high limit sensing bulb is secure to the element.
Performing these checks should eliminate any problems and assure the unit
is operating as designed.
AS previously Stated. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ADJUST THE HIGH LIMIT
CONTROLS. Not only can this result in destruction of the unit, it nay
create unsafe conditions for the user. Any person who adjusts this control
will be solely responsible!

Counter Top Convection Steamer Owners Manual -Pt #1173012 in the STSteamer Section of your master Southbend manual.
Also, please correct your price list, showing the new part numbers
- prices remain the same.
Effective date - August 1991 - Unit serial numbers beginning with
"91H".
A major improvement has been made to the 2001 Steamer, adding disctype fixed thermostats to the heating elements and changing the amber
"low water" light to a red "Trouble" light. This change makes the
unit more forgiving. The thermostats will control the element
temperature still using the high limit control for a safety backup.
This change will help compensate for improper installations, guards
against low water almost entirely, eliminating the chance of element
meltdown and warped bottoms. The new trouble light indicates a
problem with the unit and that the operator should call the authorized
service agency. Installation should still be made as instructed in
the manual.
New parts are:
#1174302 Disc-type thermostat for element
#1174299 Wire routing support

#132282 Control panel - still available
#1167592 Polypanel - still available
#A19-00011Element insulation - still available
Please note new elements #1174304 S 1174305 can be used on both models
using cast aluminum elements, either with or without thermostats. Old
style elements 1168029 & 1168028 can only be used on units without the
thermostats. The difference is the new elements are drilled and tapped
to accept the thermostats, whereas the discontinued elements are not.
RECAP: The new revised steamer (Ser. 91H & up) is being manufactured
with protective thermostats installed on the element body. There
are 2 thermostats per element for a total of 6. These units can
be easily identified in the field by the following:
1. Red "trouble" light in place of amber "low water" light.
2. Terminal strip and 3 relays in rear component area on right
side of motor. Previously, no terminal strip was used and
there were two relays - mounted to the left of the motor.
Under normal operating conditions, the steamer will operate with the
elements on continuously. They will not cycle "off" and "on". If the
interior bottom of the cooking cavity space becomes unclean due to lime
or other deposits, or if the water supply to the unit is stopped or
diminished, the elements may begin to cycle off and on. This condition
may be recognized by reduced performance of the unit. Check and clean
the interior bottom, if necessary, and check to make sure that the
water supply is not restricted or turned off.
Page 18
Bulletin #9126
Page 3
The “trouble” light illuminated indicates that there may be severe
lime/deposits and/or restricted water supply to unit. However, this
condition can only occur if the element thermostats all fail in the
"on" (normally closed - "untripped" state) position.
If "trouble" light is on, a thorough investigation must be done to
determine the cause of the problem. Please consult a Southbend service
representative at the factory if you need assistance in determining the
problem.

Intermittent Element Drop Out, Low Water Light Coming On
Please insert in the CS-Convection Steamer Section of your Master Southbend
Manual.
On a few 2001 New Style Dual Power Steamer we have had sporatic reports
of the high limit control switching on causing the Elements to drop out and the
low water light to come on.
If you encounter these symptoms on this unit, the following will normally
solve the problem. Complete steps as necessary to eliminate the problem.
1. Check the high limit control.
2. Check the physical condition of the elements. Make certain they are
intact and in good array.
3. Make certain that all nuts that hold the elements in position are tight.
Care should be taken not to break the weld stud (Do Not tighten over
75 inch lbs.)
4. Remove the elements and make sure there is no weld splatter around
the studs to hold elements from fitting flush to the bottom plate of
the steamer - If there is splatter then carefully remove before
replacing elements.
IF ELEMENTS HAVE TO BE REMOVED FOLLOW THE ATTACHED- INSTRUCTIONS.
PART NO. PN-126 Thermo Coat may be ordered thru our Parts Department.
THERMOCOAT INSTRUCTIONS - 2001 DUAL POWER STEAMER
READ THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE CAREFULLY BEFORE
STARTING ANY WORK
1. Disconnect all power, water and drain lines to the unit.
2. Turn unit upside down.
3. Remove bottom aluminized panel and aluminum back.
4. Make a general inspection of this area looking for any heat damage or
lime deposits from leaky inlet water connections.
5. Carefully start to un-tighten the 1/4-20 nuts which hold Item 3 in place.
6. Disconnect and remove the copper water line to the condenser.
7. Item 3 can now be removed, however caution should be used here
because the insulation underneath is brittle and can be damaged.
8. Remove the insulation surrounding the healing elements Items 4, 8, and
9. Here again be very gentle considering the brittleness of the insulation.
9. The heating elements are now exposed inspect elements and wiring for
damage.
10. Remove high limit thermostats very carefully taking eztra care not to put
any crimps in the bulb or tube.
11. Carefully remove the nuts and washers. Note that washers are
cupped. The application of some lubricate like penetrating oil before
untightening is advisable.
12. If any of the studs have broken away from the bottom carefully
reinstall all parts and return to factory.
13. Remove heating elements, being careful not to use the portion of the
element extending from the aluminum casting as a hand hold. (Note
present position of elements.)
Page 23
14. Thoroughly clean the heat conducting paste from the heater and its
mating surface. Inspect the element and mating surface for flatness using
a good straight edge. If when checking the flatness of the mating surface
a gap greater than 1/16 in depth and 2 inches long is detected consult the
factory for additional instructions.
15. Coat the underside of the heating element with a coat of heat conducting
paste approximately 1/32 to 1/16 in depth across the entire surface
making sure there are no voids or air pockets.
16. Reinstall the heating elements in the same position they were removed.
Install washers so cups are facing each other leaving a small gap in center
of washers. Refer to drawing one. When tightening, tighten diagonally to
no more than 50 in-lbs on the first pass. On the second pass tighten
diagonally to 75 in-lbs then go back over each nut in reverse order.
17. After all heating elements have been installed go back over each nut and
tighten to 75 in-lbs.
18. Reconnect wiring to heating elements per wiring diagram.
19. Reinstall high limit thermostat making sure that the bulb is laying flat on
the heater and is securely fastened. It may be necessary to bend slightly
the washer which holds the bulb down. The bulb should not be loose in
its holder.
20. Reinstall insulation again being very careful not to damage it. Replace
any broken pieces.
21. Reinstall cover Item 3. The nuts which hold the cover on also hold the
heating element in place and should be tightened as described earlier.
22. Reinstall copper water line to condenser.
23. Replace bottom return unit to normal operating position.
24. Hooking water, power and drain lines install back.

Due to heavy usage the slide clip which is welded to the slide arm can become damaged. In
the past it was suggested that the slide arm assembly he cut off and a new assembly be
welded to the unit.
Effective immediately a new clip is available that can be slipped on over the slide arm.
It is necessary to cut the old clip off with a
hacksaw.
Once the new clip is in place squeeze the clip together with a pair of vise grips and
assemble to the slide arm with a 10-24 pan head bolt and nut. Be sure to use a jam nut to
ensure that the nut remains in place.
Also the head of the bolt should face the interior of the unit to minimize damage
to the gasket. See Below.

END USER TIPS:
Litho in U.S.A.
Schedule cooking of fresh vegetables so that they will be served soon after they are cooked. If it is necessary to
prepare them in advance, they can be plunged into cold water, drained thoroughly and held under refrigeration until
needed for service.
Five pounds of cold cooked vegetables can be reheated in the steamer in 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon the
variety.
Adding salt to the water for eggs cooked in the shell makes the cooking water more efficient and faster at its job. If
the egg cracks, the white is cooked at the crack and is sealed right away.
To avoid the dreaded green yolk (which is a deposit of iron sulfide) chill the eggs immediately after removing from
the steamer by plunging them into a cold water bath (preferably containing ice).
A quick and easy way to cook eggs for a salad mixture is to crack them directly into a solid steam table pan which
has been lightly coated with salad oil. Do not mix. Steam until they are hard cooked. Remove and chop as you would
for egg salad. The job of peeling has been eliminated.
Transfer steamed hot chicken to deep pan, cover with Cacciatore Sauce and finish in Marathoner oven. Bake 20 to
30 minutes. May be held on steam table.
After cooking, chicken may be browned in Infra-Red or Radiant Broiler. Brush with melted margarine mixed with
salad oil to give a golden brown color.
Use juice saved from steamed chicken to make soups, sauces, or casserole dishes.
Chicken may be steamed in advance and held under refrigeration for next day's use. Be sure to bring product back to
180 °F before serving.
Save the juice from the corned beef. After the cabbage has been steamed, place it in a solid pan and add the juice for
flavoring and holding on a steam table.
Steaming brisket in the 2001 Steamer is a definite time saver. Boiling in water takes 40 to 50 minutes per pound.
Using the 2001 can save 50% in cooking time.
Cabbage when steamed, retains its color and wedge identity. It will not break apart as it does when boiled in an open
pot.
When open, the door can be used as a convenient pan holder while seasoning, loading or unloading.
When removing items prepared in a perforated pan put a solid pan on the door shelf to hold the pan of cooked food.
This will prevent dripping on the floor.
The 2001 is designed to accept standard 12 x 20 pans the way you naturally carry them. Fractional size pans can be
used as well with the optional perforated shelf.
For stirring, the pan does not have to be removed from the steamer. Pull pan 1/3 way out of the cavity and the entire
surface is accessible.
The door may be opened at any time during operation to remove or add food.
Possibility of overcooking is eliminated during the automatic cycle because the elements shut off when the buzzer
sounds.

WARNING:
ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICE WORK MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN WHO IS EXPERIENCED IN, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH, THE OPERATION
OF COMMERCIAL COOKING EQUIPMENT, HOWEVER, TO ASSURE YOUR CONFIDENCE,
CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY FOR RELIABLE SERVICE,
DEPENDABLE ADVICE OR OTHER ASSISTANCES, AND FOR GENUINE FACTORY PARTS.
The following is a brief explanation of the operation of your Southbend Series 2001 Electric Convection Steamer.
The unique design of the Southbend Convection Steamer allows you to cook with steam without the problems of
bulky, troublesome steam boilers. The Southbend 2001 Dual Power Series uses 9.5 KW or 6.5 KW (your choice).
The Southbend Steamer generates its own steam on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
With the selector switch in the "OFF" position, you should have AC across selector switch. If not, check fuse.
When selector switch is placed in the "LO" or "HI" position and second one to "MANUAL" position, voltage is
applied to the coil of contactor from line 4 at terminal block; through fuse; through both selector switches; through
safety thermostats; through relay. Voltage is also applied to water solenoid. Solenoid furnishes 3/8" water
(overflow drain installed) to the floor of the cooking compartment, which turns to steam when heating elements get
hot. Heating elements are fastened directly under the floor of the cooking compartment and heat the water through
direct conduction.
NOTE: From a cold start, the unit should be up to temperature within 4 to 5 minutes.
When contactor energizes, the higher rated voltage is applied to heating elements through the closure of contactor
contacts L1, L2, and L3; from the LINE voltage at terminal block.
NOTE: Interior element also cycles in parallel with heating elements.
Interior element super-heats and dehumidifies the steam in the cooking compartment.
NOTE: The fan will not operate if the door is open, due to safety interlock door switch.
Anytime the unit is turned "ON," a small amount of water will be noticed coming out of the drain-line. This is due
to a "water mist," which is sprayed across the exhaust of the cooking compartment. This eliminates any possibility
of "live" steam ever reaching a drain line. This feature is required by law on ALL pressure less, atmospheric
steamers.
NOTE: The water connection into any Southbend Steamer must be cold water.
FOR REPLACEMENT OF HEATING ELEMENTS (See Drawing on Parts Page 4):
For units without thermostatic element control — Serial Number 91G and before.
A. REMOVAL OF ELEMENTS:
1. Close water valve and remove power to the unit.
