If the appliance is equipped with a manual Slowdown Valve, close it.

Open left cabinet door and turn ON power switch. Pilot light win come on (green) and water will begin
to enter Boiler and required water level will be reached in about 3 minutes. Observe water gauge glass to
verify.

Steam generation will now commence and be completed in about "15 minutes. Observe that Boiler
Pressure Gauge indicates steam pressure in range of 9 to 12 psi.

The Pressure Gauge on the face of the Cooker Control Panel should indicate pressure of 5 to 6 psi.
Open Cooker compartment door. Dial Timer to 5 minutes and pull out Operating Handle and

observe that steam enters compartment.
With Operating Handle pulled out, dial Timer back to "O". The buzzer will now be audible and must be

silenced by releasing Operating handle. Check each compartment in a similar manner.
Close compartment door and turn Handwheel clockwise sufficiently to provide a good seal on door

gasket.
Dial Timer to 5 minutes. Pull out Operating Handle and set in position. Steam entry into compartment

will be audible and Compartment Vent, located at rear left side of Cooker compartment, will exhaust air
(hissing noise) trapped in the compartment until replaced by steam.

Observe that door gasket seals properly and no leaks are evident.
After 5 minutes the Timer will read '0', Buzzer will come on, steam will cease to 'enter compartment

and drain solenoid valve will open to exhaust steam and condensate from compartment.
Silence Buzzer by releasing Operating Handle.

Observe Appliance Drain that live steam from compartment is being cooled by cold water from Cold
Water Solenoid "Valve (thermostatically controlled). Turn Handwheel fully counter-clockwise to avoid
pressure on door gasket when not "in use. Check each compartment in a similar manner.

During simulation of the cooking cycle, the Heater Elements will cycle on and off to maintain steam
pressure in Boiler between 9 to 12 psi range.

Turn OFF power switch. If the appliance is equipped with Automatic Blow Down Solenoid Valve,
the Boiler contents water and steam, will be blown out and exhausted through the appliance Drain.
The Cold Water Solenoid Valve will now be activated as well. If, however, the appliance is
equipped with a manual Blow Down Valve, Open it.

STEAMER FUNCTIONING MODE

SECTION 2:

MODELS: EC-2 & EC-3

EDH-2 & EDA-2

Power, hot and cold water, must be supplied to these Steamers. Refer to Section 1, Service

Connections.

These Steamers are intended for use in commercial establishments. They are floor supported, are
steam heated and incorporate steel enclosures to contain live electrical parts.

The Cooker consists of two or three compartments and is the upper portion of the Steamer. Each
compartment is provided with its own Solenoids, Interlock Switches, Timer, Pilot Light, Operating Handle
and Door. When a compartment is off, or de-energized, the Exhaust Solenoid Valve is open and the inlet
Steam Solenoid Valve is closed. Pans, containing food properly portioned, are placed into guided racks or
unto wire shelves provided in each compartment. When the door is closed, the Timer dialed and the
Operating Handle is pulled out to the locked position, (which also locks the door and engages the Interlock
Switches), the valves are energized. Steam reduced to maximum 6 p.s.i. pressure by the Pressure
Regulating Valve will then be permitted to enter the compartment but not exit. Air, captured in the sealed
compartment is allowed to exhaust through the Compartment Vent which will close at approximately
180°F, whence the compartment becomes an entirely sealed chamber. The duration of the cooking cycle is
controlled by the Timer and when desired time has elapsed. Timer will read '0' and will set off an audible
Buzzer and de-energize valves. Buzzer must be silenced by releasing the Operating Handle and presumably
door opened to remove cooked food.

The Cabinet is the lower portion of the Steam and contains components which control the functioning of
the Electric Boiler. A switch located on the front face of the Generator Control Box, when turned ON will
provide power for the appliance and also initiate and maintain steam generation by means of Heater
Elements in the Boiler which in turn supplies steam to the compartments.

The Electric Boiler is designed to ASME Code and approved as a steam heating boiler restricted to operate
at pressures not to exceed 15 p.s.i..

Refer to Periodic Maintenance, Section 4, for detailed version of components and controls.

COMPARTMENT CAPACITIES

The Cooker compartments are provided with either removable shelf supports with slide out shelves OR
universal pan supports. The following capacities for each compartment are based on full size, 12" x 20",
pans and depths indicated.

Shelf supports with shelving can accommodate:
6 - 2-1/2" deep full size pans or

4 - 4" deep full size pans or
2 - 6" deep and 2 - 2-1/2" deep full size pans.

Universal pan supports can accommodate:
8 - 2-1/2" deep full size pans or

4 - 4" deep full size pans or
2 - 6" deep and 2 - 2-1/2" deep full size pans.

Food placed in pans must, where possible, be evenly spread out and not protrude above pans since
steam circulation between pans in the compartment will be impeded.

Always preheat compartments for satisfactory results.
When a11 compartments are to be used at the same time, allow one compartment to recover steam

pressure (approx. 4-1/2 p.s.i.) before commencing cooking operation on next compartment.
When time does not allow for defrosting of frozen vegetables such as loose pack peas. corn, diced

carrots, etc., they may be cooked at once provided half suggested portions in Cooking Chart are used.

Item C: Safety Thermostat, shown enclosed within Thermostat Cover Box, is a protective device
which will shut off the Heater Elements should the water level in the Boiler drop below a level
sufficient to immerse and protect the Heater Elements. The heat sensing Capilliary Bulb of the
Thermostat enters the Boiler through the Boiler Head and is attached to an upper leg of one of the
Heater Elements and will remain inopperative while immersed in water.

Item D: Heater Elements located within the lower portion of the Boiler provide the heat required to
generate steam in the Boiler. During operation of the appliance, water level must be sufficient to
immerse and protect the Elements.

Item E: Solenoid (Cold Water) Valve is fastened to the right rear bottom of Generator Control Box.
This valve supplies cold water to condense live steam before it exhausts into the drain and its
functioning is controlled by a thermostat.

Item F: Solenoid (Hot Water) Valve is fastened to the bottom of Generator Control Box immediately
in front of Item E. This valve feeds hot water to the Boiler but its functioning is entirely dependent on
the Water Level Control (Item Q).

Item G: Operating Pressure Switch is fastened to the inside bottom-front of the Generator Control
Box and is plumbed to sense the pressure in the Boiler and thence control the operating cycle of the
Contactors (item 0) through which the Heater Elements must obtain power for steam generation.
This switch is factory set to energize and dose the contacts (of the Contactors) to allow power to the
Elements at 9 psi but to de-energize them and shut off power to the Elements at 12 psi thus
maintaining a pressure range in the Boiler between 9 psi to approximately 13 psi (override con­sidered).

being maintained in the Boiler during operation. The manual valves at the top and the bottom of this
assembly must be fully open and only closed if damage should occur to the glass tube.

OBSERVE THAT THE WATER IS CLEAN AND CLEAR IN THE GLASS TUBE.
THE APPEARANCE OF EXTREME MURKINESS IN THE WATER INDICATES
INADEQUATE WATER QUALITY AND WILL CUASE FAILURE OF
CONTROLS AND THE APPLIANCE. WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
MALFUNCTION DUE TO POOR WATER CONDITIONS.

Item Q: The Water Level Control is a mechanical switch intended to maintain proper water level in the
Boiler. A Float is contained within the chamber of the Water Level Control and when it drops, it wilt trip
the switch in the control and demand sufficient water to replenish it to the proper level.

A MANUAL VALVE IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BELOW THE WATER
LEVEL CONTROL CHAMBER MUST BE OPENED BRIEFLY AT LEAST
ONCE A WEEK TO BLOWDOWN SEDIMENT AND SCALANT THAT MAY
BE LODGED IN THE CHAMBER. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE

COMPARTMENT DOORS

Door Hasp does not engage Door Catch properly
Check if door appears loose at hinges since worn out Bronze Bushings will cause misalignment of door

and bushings must be replaced. Force out Tension Pins in Hinges with pin punch. (Refer to Parts List
Section 7 - Compartment Door Assembly). Eject Hinge Pins and remove door. Force out worn Bronze
Bushings and replace with care since this is a snug fit.

However, if door is rigid at hinges, then Door Hasp may require adjustment. Remove Cooker Enclosure
Panel. Remove Hasp Pin and either add or delete washer under Hasp for proper height.

Handwheel is binding or difficult to turn
Foreign matter or lack of lubricant on dry Thrust Screw may cause threads to bind. Refer to Section 4,

Periodic Maintenance.
If Thrust Screw is bent or threads are badly worn, remove Thrust Screw and replace. Refer to Steamer

Compartment Door Assembly, Section 7, Page 23.

Door Gasket is leaking
Gasket Retainer Cap Screws may be loose and must be tightened to prevent steam leakage.

Gasket may be nicked, cut or at end of useful life and must be replaced.
Door may hang loosely and Gasket edges do not align with compartment surface properly. Correct

as previously noted.
The Door Gasket and Aluminum Plate assembly may be hanging improperly within door on supporting

Alignment Screws. Remove Gasket Plate Assembly and adjust Alignment Screws slightly.
As previously noted, Handwheel may be difficult to turn and excessive friction prevents exerting

pressure required for sealing.

COOKER PROBLEMS

Water accumulates In bottom of compartment
Water accumulation in bottom of compartment is primarily condensed steam and failure

to drain out completely may be due to improperly leveled appliance. Refer to Section 1,
Installation Instructions.

Stainless steel compartment Screen protecting exhaust port in compartment may be
clogged with debris and screen must be removed, cleaned and replaced. Exhaust Solenoid
Valve may be obstructed with accumulated grease which will impede drainage of water.
Refer to Section 4, Periodic Maintenance.

If grease is not the obstruction, then with power Off, the Exhaust Header must be
disconnected at all unions and removed. The Union Elbow must be unthreaded from the
Exhaust Solenoid Valve. Visually inspect the Exhaust Header and the valve for obstruction.
Verify that no obstruction is present by passing an object, such as a pencil, freely through
valve and also examine that exhaust port (stainless steel 1/2" fitting welded to Cooker body)
is internally clean. Reconnect all plumbing.

However, the Exhaust Solenoid Valve may be incapable of opening. Since this valve
contains a moveable blade and when de-energized, the blade reacts as a guillotine which
should be free to move fully down into the valve pocket (projection at bottom of valve) so
that the pierced hole in the blade aligns perfectly with the body opening. If debris has
accumulated in the bottom of the valve pocket, then blade obviously will be impeded from
moving into pocket completely. Further, a burnt out valve coil is likely. With valve removed
from Cooker body, remove retaining clip at top of solenoid. Grasp (green) cover and
housing intact with coil inside and slide off from valve. Unscrew projecting tube from top of
valve body and remove internal mechanism together with blade assembly. Next unscrew
both assembly bolts and split brass body of valve removing loose internal parts. Now flush
and clean pocket thoroughly. Reassemble all parts in reverse order of disassembly.
Energize valve with 120 V power to verify that valve is functional. As mentioned, coil may
require replacement. Reconnect all plumbing.

Compartment remains pressurized at end of cooking cycle

As noted, when water accumulates at bottom of compartment, an obstructed Exhaust
Solenoid Valve must be cleansed to allow not only water but also pressurized steam to
exhaust at end of cooking cycle.

SERVICE INFORMATION

SECTION 6: MODELS: EC-2 & EC-3

COOKER PROBLEMS (cont’d)

Steam escapes from compartment during cooking cycle

Initially in the cooking cycle, air is displaced by steam in the compartment through the Compartment Vent
(Thermostatic Trap). Displacement of air is audible by the hissing noise but should cease when the Thermostatic
Trap reacts to the higher temperature of steam entering the trap. However, malfunction will occur if dirt is lodged
internally in metal to metal seat of trap. Unscrew bonnet from top of Compartment Vent. Remove internal
mechanism, cleanse thoroughly and replace. If malfunction persist, replace Compartment Vent.

As mentioned previously, if the Exhaust Solenoid Valve has a burnt out coil, it will be incapable of being
energized and thus remain open allowing steam to exhaust.

Cooking cycle cannot be activated
Although this appliance has been thoroughly tested, it is advisable to inspect that all wire terminations are positive

and secure before assuming any other malfunction.
When Power Switch in Generator Control Box of Cabinet is ON and steam pressure reading shows 5 to 6 p.s.i. on

Pressure Gauge of Cooker Control Panel and all compartments fail to function for the cooking cycle, then power
obviously is not being supplied to Cooker and wiring must be checked.

The magnetic coil of the Steam Solenoid Valve may be defective and require replacement. With Compartment Door
open, observe if steam enters compartment when an outside source of (120 V) power is supplied to valve leads. If the
valve energizes and steam enters compartment, then valve is operative and malfunction of cooking cycle is due to
either a defective Timer or Microswitch.

When Timer is dialed. Operating Handle pulled out and cooking cycle will not activate in only one compartment,
then Microswitches may require adjustment of their activating levers or replacement if defective. With Cooker
Cover Panel removed, observe that levers of Microswitches are fully engaged by Arm of Operating Handle as it is
pulled out. Bent Levers may fail to activate Microswitch(es) resulting in failure to energize valves and/or Timer and
must be straightened (by hand) to assure positive contact.

A defective Timer will prevent cooking cycle from functioning and must be replaced. It is not recommended
that repair of Timer be attempted.

SECTION. 6:

MODELS: EC-2 & EC-3

COOKER PROBLEMS (cont'd)

Water enters compartment through Steam Solenoid Valve

If the cooking cycle is on and water enters compartment through valve and steam pressure is nonexistent, then this
may indicate malfunction of the Water Level Control (in Cabinet). The switch in the Water Level Control may be
defective and remain in the closed position, consequently energizing the Boiler Water Supply Valve to
continuously supply water to fill the Boiler, Steam Header and eventually overflow into the compartments)
through Steam Solenoid Valve(s).

However, a more likely cause is excessive sealant and/or lime build up within the chamber of the Water Level
Control, which having formed around the float, prevents it from fluctuating upwards with the increase in water
level and thus the float is unable to trip the switch in the control to de-energize the solenoid valve and
consequently stop water from being fed to the Boiler and flooding the system. Refer to Boiler on Removal of
Sealants, etc.. This malfunction is extremely serious and indicates that water quality is inadequate and must be
rectified immediately with a proper water conditioner.

Pressure Relief Valve leaks or opens frequently
This valve sits on top of the Steam Header and assures that pressure will not exceed 8 p.s.i.. The valve may leak

if dirt is under valve disc. Manually trip lever of valve smartly a few times in an effort to dislodge and blow dirt
away. Pressure Gauge on Cooker Control Panel should read maximum 6 p.s.i. and if valve continues to leak, then
it is defective and must be replaced.

Pressure in Steam Header may be too high and Pressure Regulating Valve will require adjustment. To re-adjust,
loosen lock nut on the adjusting screw and turn adjusting screw counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.

19

SERVICE INFORMATION

SECTION 6: MODELS: EC-2 & EC-3

CABINET CONTROL PROBLEMS

Safety Relief Valve blows and releases steam frequently
The Safety Relief Valve is set at 15 p.s.i. and is a protective device intended to prevent pressure from exceeding 15

p.s.i. in the Boiler. During the operating cycle, observe the fluctuating pressure range as indicated on the Pressure
Gauge located directly on top of the Water Level Control. The fluctuating range should read approximately 9 to
12 p.s.i. during a normal operating cycle and if the Safety Relief Valve blows prematurely then assume it must be
defective and requires replacement.

However, if the pressure reading, indicated on the Pressure Gauge, approaches 15 p.s.i., then lower adjustment of
the Pressure Switches are required. Remove Cover from Generator Control Box and locate both switches at
bottom left side on Control Box. When facing Pressure Switch in the upright position, the adjusting nut on the
higher top point to the back controls the high pressure setting of that switch and the adjusting nut on the lower top
surface to the front of the switch controls the low pressure setting of that switch. Both nuts when turned counter
clockwise with either a 1/4" wrench or slotted screwdriver will lower the pressure settings. Refer to Periodic
Maintenance Section 4, for proper pressure settings. Each nut should be turned slightly and the pressure reading
on the Gauge observed before adjusting the next nut unnecessarily.

Water is not being supplied to Boiler
When the appliance is first turned ON, and assuming that water supply is definitely available to the appliance, and

after 20 minutes no water can be observed in the Water Gauge Assembly, then either the Solenoid (Hot Water)
Valve is defective or is incapable of being energized by the Water Level Control. As mentioned previously, the
float within the chamber of the Water Level Control may be seized up and remain stuck in the upper position by
sealant thereby falsely indicating sufficient water is present in the Boiler. The Water Level Control Assembly
must be detached, removed and thoroughly cleansed to remove sealants and lime build up. Refer to Boiler on
Removal of Sealants etc.. This malfunction indicates extremely poor water quality being supplied to the appliance
and must be attended to immediately to avoid complete breakdown of the appliance.

Another possibility is that as quickly as water is fed to the Boiler it is being drained through an open Boiler
Blowdown Solenoid Valve which cannot dose since it is not being energized either through defective wiring or a
burnt out coil.

This valve is similar in construction to the Exhaust Solenoid Valve mentioned previously and may malfunction due
to sealants lodging in the pocket of the valve. Refer to page 17 Cooker Problems - "Water accumulation in the
bottom of compartment" - for procedure of cleaning this valve.

SERVICE INFORMATION

SECTION 6: MODELS: EC-2 & EC-3

CABINET CONTROL PROBLEMS (cont'd)

Boiler Slowdown Valves does not drain

When the appliance is turned OFF, the Boiler Slowdown Valve is de-energized and consequently opens
and the water contained in the Boiler being under pressure, should be blown through this Valve and be
noticeably visible exhausting out the appliance Drain. However, if the blow down operation appears to
function rather sluggishly or not at all, then assume that considerable sealant may be lodged in the drain
pipe and/or the Valve. Disconnect the Valve from the drain line and inspect both the Valve and the drain
pipe fixed to the Boiler. If considerable sealant or lime build up is apparent then not only the Valve but
also the Boiler and Water Level Control must be thoroughly cleansed. Refer to Removal of Sealants
from Boiler (below) for proper procedure.

Boiler achieves pressure slower than normal
If the Boiler requires considerably more time than 20 minutes to achieve normal operating pressure (9-

12 p.s.i.), then assume that heavy build up of sealant has completely coated not only the interior of the
Boiler but also the Heater Elements and consequently heat transfer is hampered by the insulating effect
of the sealant. Unbolt and remove the Handhole Cover Plate and Gasket assembly. Examine interior of
Boiler for sealant and/or lime build up."

If considerable sealant is evident then the Boiler Blow down Valve (similar to Exhaust Solenoid
Valve) must also be examined. Refer to page 17 on cleaning procedure.

If, however, the Boiler interior and the Heater Elements appear relatively dean and free of sealants
then examine and test for a burnt out Element and replace if necessary.

Removal of Sealants from Boiler
Turn OFF power supply to appliance. Remove Safety Thermostat and Heater Element Covers and

from Terminals disconnect wiring making note of proper procedure for rewiring. Disconnect and
detach Cables together with wiring from Boiler.

Disconnect all plumbing to the Boiler at unions. Remove both fastening bolts from the Boiler front
Support Bracket. Note that back Support Bracket has two open ended slots to provide for ease of
removal. If the Boiler cannot be dislodged easily from back Support Bracket, then with hammer strike a
few sharp blows on back of Support Bracket. Remove Boiler completely from Cabinet and stand it up on
its back on floor. Plug or cap all pipe fittings.

Removal of Sealants from Boiler (cont'd)

Prepare a solution of one part Muriatic (Hydrochloric) Acid to seven parts of water and pour
into Boiler through Handhole up to Handhole opening level and allow to stand for several hours
or overnight.

Pour out completely all solution and sealants so as not to spill on Heater Element Terminals.
During this procedure, exercise extreme care to avoid personally coming in contact with acid. If
contact occurs, wash acid off immediately with clean water. Flush out interior of Boiler with
clean water.

Remove all plugs and/or caps from pipe fittings. Return Boiler into Cabinet and reconnect all
bolts, plumbing, wiring and covers.
