INSTALLATION
Litho in
GENERAL:
THE UNIT WHEN INSTALLED MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED AND COMPLY
WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANSI NFPA 70-1990.
CANADIAN INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH CSA STANDARD C22.2 No. 0M1982 -General Requirements - Canadian Electrical Code, Part II. 109-M1981 - Commercial
Cooking Appliances
CLEARANCES:
Allow at least a four inch (4") 102 mm. clearance between the back of the unit and any wall
obstruction for proper ventilation of the unit, and room for plumbing and electrical connections.
Do not locate the STEAMMASTER adjacent to any high heat[producing piece of equipment,
such as a range top, griddle, fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior
temperature of the STEAMMASTER above 130T (54°C).
DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.
WARNING:
THESE PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL OR
WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.
TO INSTALL:
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden freight damage to the freight company immediately.
2. Do not remove any tags or labels until the unit is installed and working properly.
3. Set unit in place.
4. Counter Model — Set on non-flammable surface and shim to make level. Seal to counter top with
sealer such as G .E. or DOW Corning RTV type sealant. (Consult local code for exact
requirements.)
LEVELING:
Unit must be level to assure maximum performance. Improper leveling may void warranty.
WATER CONNECTION:
Connect cold water line, 1/4" (6 mm.) pipe. Water line pressure should be 30 psi (205 Kpa) minimum
— 60 psi (410 Kpa) maximum.
NOTE: Tb facilitate cleaning, plus allowing access to rear of unit, flexible connections are recommended.
WATER SPECIFICATION:
To meet warranty requirement, supply water must be as follows:
Pressure: 30 to 60 psi
Total dissolved solids (TDS) — 60 PPM
Hardness: 2 grains or 35 PPM
PH factor: 7.0 to 7.5
WATER LEVEL SWITCH FLOAT INSTALLATION:
See page 5 SERVICE.

INSTALLATION
DRAIN LINE:
The drain line connection size from the unit is 1-1/4" NPT (32 mm). Position the unit near, but not on top of,
an open floor drain. DO NOT directly plumb to the unit unless you also install an "open funnel" downstream
of this connection in the drain system. Make the drain line from the unit to the air gap above the "open
funnel" as short as possible. There should be no horizontal piping between the unit and the air gap above the
"open funnel". The "open funnel" is intended to elim inate any water from entering the steamer because of a
blocked drain and it also prevents any back pressure within the steamer cavity. The unit must be free-venting
to atmosphere. Any connection that allows the build-up of back pressure in the unit such as a reduction in
pipe size to a line smaller than 1-1/4" or a 90 degree angle in the line prior to the "open funnel" drain
discharge point will void the warranty. This is a pressureless, free-venting steam cooker and will not operate
properly unless the drain line is short, at a steep angle, and open!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION:
For proper connection of field wiring to terminal block, see Wiring Diagram, Section 3, Page 6. Be sure
that the input voltage and phase match the requirements shown on the serial plate located on the left rear
side of each piece of equipment.
NOTE: This unit has one power supply for controls and elements, as well as one (1) ground wire. A
POSITIVE GROUND CONNECTION IS ESSENTIAL.
DO NOT ALLOW ANY TAMPERING OR ADJUSTMENT OF ANY CONTROL OR WIRING. THE
UNIT IS FACTORY SET. ADJUSTMENT OF ANY INTERNAL COMPONENT OTHER THAN THE
FIELD TERMINAL BLOCK CAN VOID THE WARRANTY.
FINAL:
5. Open water valve to full open position.
CHECK:
a. Power to unit.
b. Water to unit.
c. Open drain.
Unit is now ready for initial start-up.

OPERATION
Litho in U.S.A.
THEORY OF OPERATION:
Compared to other steam cookers with complicated boilers, the STEAMMASTER is a very simple
machine. Immersion elements are installed on the left side of the cavity and when water covers the
elements, water starts to boil and turn to steam. There is no pressure in this unit.
All equipment must be installed correctly to ensure 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 STEAMMASTER must be thoroughly cleaned every day.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY CORROSIVE CLEANER. USE ONIV CLEANERS APPROVED
FOR STAINLESS STEEL.
Before starting the unit, review the following:
A. Be sure overflow pipe in back right hand corner of the cooking compartment is in position.
B. Be sure the drain outlet is not blocked in any way. (The STEAMMASTER drain line must be free
venting.)
C. Be sure the pan supports and steam deflector are well secured.
CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. For manual operation, press right-hand rocker switch to "MANUAL" and the light will turn on. The
unit is now in operation and will be generating steam in a few minutes (approximately 9 minutes
from a cold start).
2. For timed operation, press right-hand rocker switch to " ." Set timer by positioning knob
pointer to desired time marking. When time elanses buzzer will sound. Buzzer may be shut off by
opening door, moving selector switch to " ," shutting unit off, resetting to a new time or
turning knob counterclockwise to the Hold/Off position (counterclockwise past "0" time).
3. To restart timer, set to new time marking.
NOTE: Timer is an audible time reminder only. It does not control cook time or shut off elements.
HEATING ELEMENTS REMAIN ON.
4. The STEAMMASTER is designed to accept standard 12" x 20" pans (305 x 508 mm.). Fractional
size pans can be used as well with optional stainless steel perforated shelf.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TURNING OFF BUZZER:
The STEAMMASTER 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. Reset timer to begin a new time cycle.
2. Set the three position rocker switch to or to off position.
3. Open the door of the unit
4. Turn knob counterclockwise past "0" time.
