4. Drain Connection: Steamers must be leveled front to back, and pitched to
the front (maximum 1/4 inch) by adjusting the bullet feet on the cabinet or
stand base.
For all factory-stacked SSB steamers, a 21/2 inch ID hose is attached to
the unit drain. It must be rated for boiling water.
G. Counter-Mounted Units
WARNING: DO NOT STACK SSB STEAMERS WHEN LEGS ARE USED.
This section is applicable if the steamer will be mounted to a counter. All four
edges of the bottom of the steamer must be sealed with RTV to the counter
if the 4 inch legs are not used. Counter must be made of a noncombustible
material such as metal or tile.
WATER QUALITY & TREATMENT
It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale or
cause corrosion. Even though the steam generator is engineered to minimize scale
formation and the effects of corrosion, their development depends on the quality of
your water and the number of hours per day you operate the equipment.
Most water supplies are full of minerals and chemicals which are not suitable for
use in a steam generator.
Water quality varies from state to state and city to city. It is necessary that you
know and understand the quality of the water you are using. Your water utility can
tell you about the minerals and chemicals in your water. The water going to the
steam generator should be within these guidelines.
WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
Containment Water Supply
pH 7 to 9
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 30 to 60 ppm
Hardness less than 60 ppm
Chlorine and Chloramine less than .1 ppm
Chlorides less than 30 ppm
Silica less than 12 ppm
Undissolved Solids less than 5 microns
In order to accurately choose the correct water treatment solution, a water quality
test has to be performed. If a “Free Start-up” is requested, the ASA will perform a
water quality test and Unified Brands (UB) will be able to suggest the best solution
for your water quality. If it isn’t, your local manufacturing representative can
coordinate this for you.
After the “Free Start-up” is performed, UB will add an additional 1-year parts and
labor warranty. If UB suggests a water treatment system, the system is purchased
from UB, installed and maintained, water related service issues will be covered for
the duration of the warranty period.
INITIAL START-UP
WARNING: WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR, STAY AWAY FROM STEAM COMING OUT OF
THE UNIT. STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS.
After the SmartSteam100 Boilerless Steamer has been installed, test it to ensure
that the unit is operating correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing materials from the interior and exterior of
the unit.
2. Make sure the water supply line is open.
3. Make sure that the gas supply line is open and that the manual knob on the
main gas valve is turned to the ON position. This valve is at the rear on the right
side of the unit.

electrical power. Do not attempt to operate the unit during a power failure.
NOTE: The door MUST be closed for the main burner to work.
5. To turn the unit on, press the ON switch on the control panel.
6. When the steam generating reservoir has filled with water, the main burners
will ignite automatically. Within 20 minutes or less the READY light will come
on, indicating that the water has reached its standby temperature. When the
READY light is displayed, you may take any one of the following steps;
a. Push TIMED and set the timer knob to the desired steaming time.
b. Push MANUAL for continuous steaming.
c. Push STOP to let the unit stay at ready condition.
7. To shut down the unit, press the OFF switch. The steam generating reservoir
will then fill with cold water and drain.
8. If the steamer operates as described, the unit is functioning correctly and
ready for USE.
NOTE: For operation at high altitudes (2000 feet and above), please consult the
Groen Foodservice Engineering Department.
