START UP TEST RUN
Open manual gas shut off supply valve and if the appliance has a manual Blow Down Valve, close
it. Open left cabinet door and turn ON power switch. Pilot light will 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.
The Dial on the gas combination control valve has 3 positions (ON-PILOT-OFF) for manual gas
control of main burners and pilot. Turn Dial on gas combination valve to PILOT. Depress Dial and
light Pilot Burner located on centre main burner of Boiler. Maintain Dial in depressed position for
about 30 seconds and release. Observe that Pilot Burner flame stays on. If at any time the flame
should become extinguished, a 5 minute period for complete shut off of Gas Supply is required
before relighting.
Turn Dial to ON and burners will ignite. Steam generation will now commence and be completed in
about 15 minutes. Observe that Boiler Pressure Gauge indicates steam pressure in range of 9 - 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 valve will open to exhaust steam and condensate from compartment.
Release Operating Handle to silence Buzzer.
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 Burners will cycle on and off to maintain steam
pressure in Boiler between 9 to 12 psi range.
Turn OFF power switch. Observe that Burners go off and 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 the appliance is equipped with a manual Blow Down Valve, open it.

INSTALLATION & SERVICE CONNECTIONS
SECTION 2: MODELS: GC-2 & GC-3
Steamers are made of two sections, the Cooker and the Cabinet. 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.
Gas, Power, hot and cold water, must be supplied to these Steamers. Refer to Section 1,
Service Connections.
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 psi 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 Steamer and contains components which control the
functioning of the Gas 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 the Gas Burners to maintain steam
generation in the boiler which in turn supplies steam to the compartment.
The Gas Boiler is designed to ASME Code and approved as a steam heating boiler restricted
to operate at pressures not to exceed 15 psi and the burner system is UL tested and Certified.
Refer to Periodic Maintenance, Section 4, for detailed version of components and controls.

SECTION 3: MODELS: GC-2 & GC-3
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.

COMPARTMENT DOORS
Door Hasp does not engage Door Catch property
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.

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 alt 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.

SECTION 6: MODELS: GC-2 &
GC-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 Thermo-static 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: GC-2 & GC-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 Mater 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.

SERVICE INFORMATION
SECTION 6: MODELS: GC-2 & GC-3
CABINET CONTROL PROBLEMS
Safety Relief Valve blows and releases steam frequently
The Safety Relief Valve is set at 15 p.s.1. 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 tower 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 tower 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 Blow down Solenoid Valve which cannot close 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.

SECTION 6: MODELS: GC-2 & GC-3
CABINET CONTROL PROBLEMS (con t' d )
Boiler Slowdown Valve does not drain
When the appliance is turned OFF, the Boiler Slowdown Valve 1s 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 Gas Boiler (below) on Removal of
Sealants etc. for procedure.
Gas 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 the interior of the Boiler and
consequently heat transfer is hampered by the insulating effect of the sealant. Unbolt and remove the Hand
hole 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.
Removal of sealants
Disconnect all (3) union pipe fittings and hot water tilt connection to Boiler. Cap and seal all 4 opened
connections to Boiler.
Plumbed directly to the Boiler drain pipe is a pipe Tee with a plug which must be removed and
replaced with a convenient length of pipe to provide drainage into a suitable receptacle placed in
front of the appliance.
With hose through Hand hole, flush out all loose sealants allowing them to drain through Boiler drain
pipe (into receptacle). If drain pipe is clogged with sealant and unable to drain, ream open with a
suitable tool such as screwdriver or long rod from inside of Boiler and through drain pipe Tee. With wire
brush, loosen as much sealant as possible and flush out of Boiler.
Plug drain pipe. 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.
Unplug drain pipe and allow solution and sealants to drain out. During this procedure, exercise extreme care
to avoid personally coming in contact with acid. If contact occurs, wash acid off immediately with clean
water.
Remove all caps and reconnect all unions and connections to Boiler.

CABINET CONTROL PROBLEMS (cont'd)
Malfunction of Pilot Burner flame
The Pilot Burner should have a steady blue flame about 1" long which must envelop and
heat the thermocouple tip in order for the Main Burners to ignite on demand.
Check that required gas pressure is available to Gas Combination Control Valve.
Unusually strong floor drafts may interfere with pilot flame preventing it from properly
heating the thermocouple tip and result in ignition failure of Main Burners.
An inadequately heated thermocouple tip can result from an unusually short pilot flame
which most often can be attributed to insufficient or irregular gas supply to Pilot Burner.
Examine the gas supply tube (1/4" OD) that it has no severe kinks. Remove tube and check
that free flow of gas is possible through it. Also, if the orifice of the Pilot Burner is slightly
plugged, gas flow will be impeded causing an irregular flame and will require replacement.
Main Burners refuse to ignite
Assuming that the Pilot Burner flame is of proper size and envelops the thermocouple tip,
but the Main Burners refuse on demand to ignite, then possibly the Thermocouple
Assembly is malfunctioning. Examine that proper contact of thermocouple to Gas
Combination Control Valve is being maintained by checking that the nut connection at Valve
is initially finger tight with an additional 1/2 turn by wrench. If malfunction persists, replace
Thermocouple Assembly and retest.
Finally, when all above corrections have been made, assume that Gas Combination
Control Valve is defective. Replace Valve, it is not recommended that disassembly and
repair be attempted.
