COOKING TIPS
• 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.
PAGE 8 OF 56 OWNER’S MANUAL 1189951 (10/08)
STRATOSTEAM ELECTRIC COUNTERTOP STEAMER OPERATION
• To avoid 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 is eliminated.
• Chicken, sausage, and/or fish may be browned in an infra-red or radiant broiler after steaming by brushing with
melted margarine mixed with salad oil to give a golden brown color.
• Save juices from steamed meat and poultry to make soups, sauces, or casserole dishes.
• Chicken may be steamed in advance and then refrigerated. Bring food back to 180°F before serving.
• Steaming brisket is a definite time saver. Boiling in water takes 40 to 50 minutes per pound. Using the steamer
can save 50% in cooking time.
• Steamed cabbage retains its color and wedge identity. It will not break apart as it does when boiled.
• When removing items prepared in a perforated pan, place a solid pan underneath the perforated pan with the
cooked food in order to prevent dripping on the floor.
• The steamer is designed to accept standard 12" x 20" pans. Fractional size pans and dishes can be used as
well with a 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. While the door is open, the
steamer will stop producing steam.
SUGGESTED COOKING TIMES
These cooking times are for general guidance only. Differences in food quality, size, shape, thickness, freshness, load
size, and desired degree of doneness must be taken into consideration and adjustments made in time, if necessary.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE STRATOSTEAM ELECTRIC COUNTERTOP STEAMER
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Shut off the steamer before cleaning or performing maintenance.
Southbend appliances are sturdily constructed of the best materials and are 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 usag e.
Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance long life for your equipm ent. Climatic conditions
(such as salt air) may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equi pment could be adversely
affected.
Keep exposed, cleanable areas clean at all times.
DAILY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
DO NOT USE high-chlorine or bleach solution for cleaning the door gasket.
DO NOT USE steel wool or other metallic pads in the steamer.
1. Turn control lever to OFF and allow time for the steamer to drain and cool.
2. Remove and clean pans.
3. Remove and clean pan supports and cavity bottom cover. Wash separately in a sink with a mild detergent and
warm water. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Non-metallic scouring pads may be used to remove cooked-on
deposits.
4. Clean all interior surfaces with mild detergent, warm water, and a non-metallic pad. If discoloration of surfaces
starts due to buildup of seasonings or food products, remove them using a non-metallic scouring pad. RINSE
THOROUGHLY WITH CLEAN WATER. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
5. Ensure drain opening inside of cavity is clear.
6. Clean drain opening.
7. Place cleaned cavity bottom cover, pan supports, and pans back into their correct positions.
8. Leave the door open at night after cleaning to allow complete drying and to prolong the life of the door gasket.
PERIODIC DE-LIMING (AS NEEDED)
If lime or mineral deposits start to buildup on the cavity interior, they should be removed with a non-caustic de-liming
solution such as Lime-A-Way
®
. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use of the de-liming solution.
STAINLESS-STEEL SURFACES
To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel surfaces that operate at LOW temperature,
use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.
To remove BAKED-ON grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors; 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-BRITE 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.
PAGE 10 OF 56 OWNER’S MANUAL 1189951 (10/08)
STRATOSTEAM ELECTRIC COUNTERTOP STEAMER CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
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.
“Heat tint” is darkened areas that sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to
excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protectiv e surfa ce of t he 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 powered cleanser.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Do not locate steamer adjacent to any high heat or grease producing piece of equipment, such as a range top,
griddle, fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior temperature of the steamer body above
130°F (54°C). DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.
NOTICE
These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.
Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association,
Inc., states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to
installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.
The steamer, 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-latest edition.
Canadian installations must comply with CSA-Standard (C22.2 No. 109-M1981 General Requirements-Canadian
Electrical Code, Part II. 109-M1981) Commercial Cooking Appliances.
NOTICE
EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES: It is recommended that the steamer be installed under a ventilation hood.
Consult local codes for proper installation of hoods. Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem
due to improper ventilation will not be covered by warranty.
LEVELING: Steamer must be level for proper operation. Improper leveling may void the warranty.
STEP 1: UNPACKING
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed
responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a
claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be
signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier
can supply the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss that is not
apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all
contents plus all packing material.
Do the following:
1. Cut the banding straps and remove the corrugated cardboard surrounding the steamer. If legs were shipped in
the same container, set them aside for installation in later steps of this procedure. Do not remove any tags or
labels attached to the steamer until the steamer is installed and working properly .
2. If the steamer was shipped on a wooden skid, cut the banding strap holding the steamer to the wooden skid,
unbolt the shipping hold-down brackets from the skid, then remove the brackets from the steamer.
3. If the steamer is to be installed on legs, go to Step 2a.
If the steamer is to be installed without legs on a countertop, go to Step 2b.
If the steamer is to be mounted on the optional cabinet base, go to Step 2c.
If two steamers are to be stacked, go to Step 2d.
PAGE 12 OF 56 OWNER’S MANUAL 1189951 (10/08)
STRATOSTEAM ELECTRIC COUNTERTOP STEAMER INSTALLATION
STEP 2A: ATTACH LEGS
A set of four legs is packed with steamers ordered with legs.
A threaded hole is located at each corner. Each leg has a corresponding mating thread. The legs can be adjusted to
overcome a slightly uneven surface.
1. Raise the steamer sufficiently to allow the legs to be attached. For safety, “shore up” and support the steamer
with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load.
2. Screw the legs into the holes (see
3. Lower the steamer gently onto a level surface. Never drop or allow the steamer to fall.
4. Make sure that the steamer is level (both side-to-side and front-to-back). If necessary, adjust the height of each
leg by turning the foot-pad of the leg.
5. Go on to Installation Step 3.

INSTALLATION STRATOSTEAM ELECTRIC COUNTERTOP STEAMER
STEP 2B: ATTACH TO COUNTERTOP
If the steamer is to be installed on a countertop or other surface without using legs, the steamer must be sealed to the
surface to prevent any water, grease, etc., from accumulating under the steamer. The steamer can be bolted to the
surface, but will still have to be sealed. Make sure that the installed steamer is level before applying the sealant.. The
installer may use GE
1. Lower the steamer gently onto a level surface. Never drop or allow the steamer to fall.
2. Bolt the steamer to the surface (use 3/8-16 bolts to fit the threaded holes used by the legs).
3. Make sure that the steamer is level (both side-to-side and front-to-back).
4. Apply sealant around all four bottom edges of the steamer (see
5. Go on to Installation Step 3.
Figure 5
Installation on Countertop
®
or Dow Corning® RTV type sealant. Consult local code for exact requirements.
Figure 5).
STEP 2C: MOUNTING ON CABINET BASE
If the steamer is to be mounted on the optional cabinet base, first attached the legs to the cabinet base (if not already
attached). Then place the steamer on top of the cabinet base and line up the threaded holes on the bottom of the
steamer with the holes in the cabinet-base top. Secure the steamer to the base with four 3/8-16 bolts. Go on to
Installation Step 3.
STEP 2D: STACKING TWO STEAMERS
If two steamers are to be stacked, mount the lower steamer first on either legs (Step 2a), a countertop (Step 2b), or
the optional cabinet base (Step 2c). Remove (if present) the four chrome-plated plugs from the holes in the top panel
of the lower steamer. Place the upper steamer on top of the lower steamer and line up the threaded holes on the
bottom of the upper steamer with the holes in the top of the lower steamer. Secure the upper steamer to the lower
steamer with four 3/8-16 bolts. The remaining steps of the installation must be performed for both steamers (they do
not share any connections internally).

STEP 3: DRAIN CONNECTION
The drain outlet is located on the back of the steamer, as shown in Figure 6. The drain connector on the steamer is 1"
(32 mm) NPT female.
Position the steamer near, but not on top of, an open floor drain. DO NOT directly plumb the steamer unless you also
install an “open funnel” downstream of this connection in the drain system. Make the drain line from the steamer to the
air gap above the “open funnel” as short as possible. There should be no horizontal piping between the steamer and
the air gap above the open funnel. The open funnel is intended to eliminate any water from entering the steamer
because of a blocked drain, and it also prevents any back pressure within the steamer cavity. Any connection that
allows the build-up of back pressure in the steamer (such as a reduction in pipe size to a line smaller than 1", or more
than one 90-degree angle in the line prior to the open funnel drain discharge point) may cause personal or property
damage and will therefore void the warranty. The steamer is a pressureless, free-venting steam cooker and will not
operate properly unless the drain line is short, at a steep angle, and open! See
Figure 7 on the next page.

STEP 4: WATER CONNECTION
WARNING
Do not connect steamer to a hot water line. A hot water connection will damage the steamer.
NOTICE
To meet warranty requirements, the supply water must meet the following specifications:
Pressure 30 to 60 PSI (205 to 410 kPa)
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 60 PPM or less
Hardness 2 grains (35 PPM) or less
pH 7.0 to 7.5
Chlorine and/or bromine 1 PPM or less
Connect a cold water line to the water inlet strainer on the back of the steamer, as shown in Figure 6. The connector
on the steamer is a 1/4" (6 mm) compression fitting. (If the unit was ordered with the split-water-line option, connect
the treated-water supply to the lower inlet, and the regular-water supply to the upper inlet.)
NOTE: To facilitate cleaning, and allow access to rear of the steamer, flexible connections are recommended. A shut
off valve at (or near) the rear of the steamer is highly recommended. Also, an accessible water filter is recommended
to help keep water quality within the requirements described above. See

3. Move the ON/OFF lever to the ON position and check that the Power light comes on.
4. Check that the timer and buzzer operate correctly.
5. Open the door and check that water is entering the cavity (NOTE: the fill rate is slow).
6. Wait four minutes, then check that some water has covered the bottom of the cavity.
7. Depress the door-switch actuator rod and listen for an audible “click.” Release the door-switch actuator rod
and listen for another audible “click.” (The clicks indicate that the contactor is functioning properly.)
8. Check that steam is escaping from the vent at the top left rear corner of the steamer.
9. Move the ON/OFF lever to the OFF position and check that the Power light goes out. Also check that the water
is draining correctly into the drain, and that the steamer completely drains.
STEP 8: SHUT-DOWN AND WIPE-CLEAN STEAMER
Complete the installation by leaving the steamer ready for customer use:
1. Allow the steamer to cool.
2. Wipe clean all surfaces.
3. Unless the steamer is to be placed in service immediately, turn off the electric power supply and water supply.
4. Make sure that a copy of this manual will be available to the people who will operate and maintain the

SERVICE STRATOSTEAM ELECTRIC COUNTERTOP STEAMER
HOW THE STEAMER OPERATES
Compared to steam cookers that have complicated boilers, a StratoSteam steamer is a very simple machine. The
heating cartridges are integrated into the bottom plate of the cooking cavity, and begin to heat immediately as soon as
the steamer is turned on. As water flows into the cooking cavity it covers the heated bottom plate and is converted to
steam. There is no pressure in the steamer. From a cold start the steamer (in COOK MODE) will heat up to cooking
temperature in about 4 minutes.
The internal components of the steamer are shown in
Turning the control lever to ON mechanically actuates the power switch, and so turns on power to the rest of the
circuitry. The “Power” indicator light comes on. Turning the control lever to ON also mechanically closes th e cookingcavity drain valve.
The heating cartridges are controlled by a contactor. The contactor is energized (turnin g on the heating cartridges) if
(1) the door is shut (as sensed by the door switch), (2) the steamer is not overheated (as sensed by the high-limit
thermostats), and (3) if there is water in the bottom of the steamer cavity (as sensed by the water-level-control senso r
under the cavity). However, if the Cook-Idle switch is in IDLE MODE, the heating cartridges will heat only when the
Idle Thermostat is closed.
The flow of water into the cooking cavity is controlled by the water solenoid, which is energized (turning on the water)
when the control lever is turned to ON and the door is shut. Hence, when cooking, water flows continuously into the
cooking cavity. However, if the Cook-Idle switch is set to IDLE MODE, water will not enter the cavity.
If a high-level thermostat detects that the steamer is overheating, or if the water-level-control sensor (which is a
thermostat) detects low water (by sensing overheating), the contactor is de-energized (turning off the heating
cartridges). Overheating may be caused by too little water entering the cavity, or by lime buildup inside the cavity
reducing the conduction of heat to the water.
During operation, excess heated water flows into the drain box where it mixes with a small stream of cold water that is
continuously supplied to the drain box (to prevent the draining water from being too hot for the plumbing pipes). Water
drains from the drain box out the water drain on the rear of the steamer. If the drain is clogged, water backing-up into
the drain box will escape through the drain-box overflow vent on the rear of the steamer.
Any excess steam is vented out the pressure-relief valve located at the top left rear corner of the steamer.
The dial thermometer on the control panel is connected by a capillary tube to a sensor bulb located in the pressure-
relief vent. The thermometer does not affect the operation of the steamer.
A mechanical timer activates a buzzer when the timer times out. The timer does not affect anything else!
When the control valve is turned to OFF, power to the electric circuitry is turned off, which de-energizes the contactor
and so shuts off the heating cartridges. Turning the control lever to OFF also de-energizes the water solenoid (turning
off the water) and mechanically opens the drain valve, permitting all water to drain from the bottom of the cooking
cavity.
