Steam Coil Cabinet Base Convection Steamers
1. Assuming availability of 30 psi supply steam pressure immediately to the appliance, then pipe sizes of 1/2” or 3/4” or
1” will deliver respectively 90, 165 or 385 lbs. of steam per hour to the appliance Heat Exchanger. From the foregoing
to use 1/2” pipe line would most likely prove inadequate.
An extremely important consideration is the pressure drop that will occur through the steam supply line from its point
of origin to the appliance. The greater the length of piping and number of valves and elbows, the greater will be the
pressure losses.
Consider a pressure drop of 1 (one) psi for each straight length of pipe equivalent to 120 diameters of that pipe. Thus,
a 1” pipe having a straight length of 120” (10 feet) is equivalent to 120 diameters of that pipe and will have a pressure
loss of 1 psi through that pipe.
NOTE: In 3/4” pipe size, that a Standard 90º Elbow and Angle Valve and a Globe Valve are equivalent to 1.8 feet, 10 feet
and 18 feet respectively of straight pipe.
Similarly, in a 1” pipe size, a standard 90º Elbow and Angle Valve and a Globe Valve are equivalent to 2.2 feet, 12 feet and
23 feet respectively of straight pipe.
Information to Steam Fitter
Information to Steam Fitter
Total of above = 20 + 2.2 + 3 + 2.2 + 17 + 23 + 10 + 2.2 = 79.6 feet. Since each 10 feet is equivalent to 1 psi pressure
loss, 79.6 feet is equivalent to approximately 32 psi from an original Boiler supply of 40 psi.
It is suggested that, wherever possible, the steam supply line
to the appliance is a separate line from the steam source. If
the appliance must be supplied from a line supplying other
appliances, the pipe sizes and pressure will have to be
veried. Further, during idle periods, when the steam in the
supply line is not in use, water will form from condensed steam
in the supply line. It is advisable to prevent water pockets
from forming in the steam line and impeding the steam ow
when it is required. Therefore, the steam supply line should
be installed level or run slightly downwards towards the
appliance. Install a Ball Float Trap near the appliance to drain
out water (condensed steam) from the line to assure clean dry
steam to the appliance.

WARNING
Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety, and plumbing codes.
Information to Steam Fitter
Plumbimg Connections (See Service Connections Section)
Water Supply Connection
The incoming cold water supply connection, at the rear of the boiler cabinet, requires 3/8” tubing and water pressure of
25 - 50 psig. A manual shut-o valve must be provided convenient to the appliance, this valve should be open when the
boiler is in operation.
Drain Connection
The boiler drain (2” IPS) should be piped to a oor drain near the steamer (NOT directly under the steamer). There should
be no solid drain connection; an “open gap” between the boiler and the oor drain is required.
WARNING
If your equipment was supplied with split water lines and a water treatment system, connect the system
to the connection marked “FILTERED WATER IN” only (Use cold water). Make a second connection to
the “CONDENSER WATER IN” from a cold and unfiltered water supply.

Cooker Section
Start-up procedures for your steamer must be completed once daily prior to operation (see instruction plate or above for
boiler start up procedures).
If appliance is equipped with optional - “Load Compensating Timer” a pre-heat thermostat is installed in each
compartment. This allows the compartment to pre-heat to 185 °F before the cooking time starts. Set timer for one minute.
Ready light will go out and cook light will come on; steam will enter compartment. Once compartment has reached the
pre-heat temperature (185 °F) the timer will start. After the time selected has elapsed, buzzer will sound indicating the end
of the cooking cycle. Steam generation will cease, Cook light will go out and Ready light will come on. To silence buzzer
turn timer to its o position.
With ready pilot light on, preheat steamer compartment for one minute when the steamer is to be rst used for the day or
whenever the compartment is cold.
1. Close compartment doors and set timer to “1 minute”.
2. When buzzer sounds, set timer to the “OFF” position.
3. Steamer is now ready for cooking.
4. With cooking compartment preheated and ready pilot light on, place pans of food to be cooked into compartment and
shut door.
5. Set timer to cooking time desired. Cooking cycle may be interrupted at any time by opening door and resumed again
by closing door.

Periodic Maintenance
WARNING
Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning or servicing appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to ush your boiler water level control daily. Failure to follow this procedure can cause the control to malfunction
resulting in serious boiler damage.
The Boiler Water Level Control installed on your boiler requires periodic maintenance. As boiler water circulates into
the oat chamber, sand, scale and other sediment may be deposited in the oat chamber. While the chamber has been
designed with a large accumulation bowl, it is necessary to ush the sediment from the chamber by blowing down the
control so that the accumulation of sediment does not interfere with the movement of the oat in the control.
Control must be ushed at least once a day.
CAUTION
Protect yourself. When ushing control, hot water and steam will ow out of the drain.
When ushing control, note water level in gauge glass, allow the boiler to ll if necessary, and also to come up to
temperature.
Before ushing control, note that water level in gauge glass is within operating range and the boiler pressure is at least 6
psi. While the boiler is being operated, open blowdown valve at bottom of control by rotating the handle counterclockwise
about 1/4 turn to fully open the valve.
Opening the blowdown valve also checks the cut-o operation. Float should drop shutting steam o, hot water and steam
will ow out the drain ushing away sediment.
NOTICE
Contact the factory, the factory representative or a local service company to perform maintenance and repairs should
the appliance malfunction. Refer to warranty terms.

Steam Coil Cabinet Base Convection SteamersPeriodic Maintenance
CAUTION
If steam supply does not shut o during blowdown, immediately discontinue use of appliance and call for service.
Continue draining water for about fteen (15) seconds, from control until water is clean. Manually close valve. Recheck gauge
glass. If water level has dropped signicantly, wait for the boiler to restore water level and pressure and repeat if necessary.
1. Water level control should be opened daily to blowdown sediment and scalant.
2. Observe that the water in gauge glass is clean and clear. Extreme murkiness in water indicates inadequate water quality.
3. Safety valve should be tripped during operation once a week to assure that it functions properly.
4. De-scaling is based on water quality and usage.
CAUTION
Take extra caution when blowing down water level control or tripping safety valve as extreme hot water and live
steam are present.
Removal of Scale Deposits
This equipment should be installed with the Middleby TruH20 water treatment system which, when properly maintained
can provide a scale-free environment for your steamer. However, because water quality can vary it is recommended that
the steamer be checked every 90 to 120 days for scale build up. Regular maintenance should be carried out at this time.
Descaling Boiler
CAUTION
Improper use of this procedure may damage your appliance!
1. With Generator tank empty, close manual blowdown valve.
If appliance is equipped with Automatic Blowdown, turn water supply OFF to appliance. Turn power switch ON, this
will energize and close blowdown valve.
