INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF

MODEL C24ET SERIES STEAMERS

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

Vulcan convection steamers are produced

with quality workmanship and material. Proper

installation, usage and maintenance will result

in many years of satisfactory performance. It is

suggested that you thoroughly read this entire

manual and carefully follow all of the instructions

provided.

The C24ET6 and C24ET10 convection steamers

are dual compartment, electric pressureless

steam cookers with duel electric steam

generators that maintain water temperature at

approximately 195° F. At 208V and 480V, the

C24ET6 is rated at 17.2kW, and the C24ET10 is

rated at 25.6kW. At 240V, the C24ET6 is rated

at 19.7kW, and the C24ET10 is rated at 26.4kW.

Model C24ET6 can accommodate three 2 1/2"

deep (6.4 cm) steam pans per compartment.

Model C24ET10 can accommodate ve 2 1/2"

deep (6.4 cm) steam pans per compartment.

The C24ET6 and C24ET10 electric convection

steamers are designed for cooking vegetables,

eggs and other foods, in commercial kitchens.

Each compartment has a 0-60 minute timer,

as well as a constant steam feature. The

buzzer requires manual shuto. The steamer is

equipped with a cabinet base with anged feet

for oor mounting.

This manual is applicable to the models and

ML numbers listed on the cover page. Pro-

cedures apply to all models unless specied

otherwise.

LWE Series Steamers

The low water and energy use steamers

(LWE) provide energy and water saving steam

generation that meets ENERGY STAR®

performance levels. The steamers feature

electronic PID Controllers and Solid State

Contactors that work together to "pulse" power

to the heating elements during a cook cycle

and reduce the amount of electrical energy and

water consumed.

Steam Cooking

Atmospheric steamers oer an ecient way to

produce many foods in either small portions or

larger batches. Atmospheric convection steam

cooking will steam cook fresh foods or will

steam defrost and cook frozen foods providing

the maximum color, avor and nutritional value

with the least expenditure of energy and labor.

The atmospheric steaming compartment allows

the operator to open and close the door anytime

during a cooking cycle. The generator element

will shut o when the door is opened then re-

start when the door is closed.

SONICSAFE SCALE PREVENTION

OPTION

Sound waves create millions of microscopic

bubbles inside the steam generator, causing

powerful vacuum energy that prevents scale from

attaching to the walls of the steamer. The control

panel is equipped with indicator lights showing

that the SonicSafe system is in operation and

to indicate if there is a problem and service is

needed.

De-lime once a quarter instead of monthly, and

change your carbon lter just once a year.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical supply

agrees with the specications on the data plate

located on the front of the machine. If the supply

and equipment requirements do not agree, do

not proceed with the installation. Contact your

dealer or Vulcan immediately.

This unit is shipped pre-wired for 208/60/3 or

480/60/3. 240V and single-phase operation

require changes to the heater connection

240/60/3, 240/60/1 and 208/60/1. This unit will

operate at 60Hz or 50Hz. Conversions must be

made by a Vulcan authorized service technician.

The LWE series is not available in single phase.

LOCATION

Allow space for plumbing and electrical

connections. Minimum clearance is 6"

(15.2 cm) on the back for proper air circulation.

Allow adequate access for operating and

servicing the steamer: 36" (91.4 cm) at the front

of the steamer, 15" (38 cm) above the steamer

and 18" (45.7 cm) on the right and left sides of

the steamer.

LEVELING AND ANCHORING

Position the steamer in its nal installed location.

Place a level on the horizontal area of the cabinet.

Adjust the feet to level the steamer in both the

left-to-right and front-to-rear directions.

Steamers should be elevated in the front

just enough, about 1/16" to 1/8" (2 to 3 mm), to

provide proper draining. Do this by rotating the

adjustable feet in the proper direction 1 to 11/2

turns after leveling. Check drainage in the

steamer compartments by pouring a small

amount of water in the compartment. All the

water should drain.

The feet have 7/16" holes in the anges for

anchor bolts.

ET SERIES STEAMERS

Plumbing connections must

comply with applicable sanitary, safety

and plumbing codes.

Water Requirements

Proper water quality can improve the taste of

the food prepared in the steamer, reduce liming

in the steam generator and extend equipment

life. Water conditions vary from one location

to another. Ask your municipal water supplier

for details about your local water supply prior

to installation. Presence of sediment, silica,

excess chlorides or other dissolved solids may

lead to a recommendation for alternate form(s)

of water treatment. Test the water with the test

strip included with the steamer. Other factors

aecting steam generation are iron content,

amount of chloridation and dissolved gases.

Water Treatment

A local water treatment specialist should be

consulted before installation of steam generating

equipment.

Supply Pressure 20 psig owing -

60 psig static

Hardness* No more than 3

grains

Silica less than 13 ppm

Total Chlorine less than 0.5 ppm

PH range 6.5 to 8

Undissolved Solids less than 5 microns

*17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness

If the water supply fails to meet these stan-

dards, it will be necessary to install a water

conditioner or scale & chlorine reduction lter

system on the generator water feed. The use

of strainers or particle lters will not remove

minerals from the water.

Water Supply Connection

Connect the treated cold water supply line to the

3/4" (19 mm) (male hose thread) inlet. Connect

the untreated cold water supply line to the

3/4" (19 mm) (male hose thread) inlet marked

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable

portions of the National Electrical Code and/or other local electrical codes.

The wiring diagram is located inside the right cavity panel.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

— 8 —

ET SERIES STEAMERS

UNTREATED WATER.

Do not over tighten water

connections. Over tightening the hose

connections will damage the water valve.

Turn hose connection by hand till snug

and then tighten with pliers 2/3 of a turn.

Check for leaks.

If water lines move during water

ll valve operation then a water hammer

arrestors must be added.

A water lter system is recommended for the

water supply line going to the treated water

inlet. Follow the recommendations for use and

installation instructions shipped with the water

lter. If a water lter is not installed, the steam

generator warranty may be limited.

A manual shuto valve must be provided in a

convenient location near the steamer.

Filter System

If you decide to not install a scale-reducing lter

system designed for steam equipment or use

another manufacturer’s system other than that

recommended by Vulcan, please use these

guidelines.

• If you are going to delime the unit with a

deliming agent recommended for a pressure

steam boiler and stainless steel generators,

and you are on city or treated well water, you

still must have a carbon block lter installed

and maintained. Carbon block lters remove

the chlorine and chloramine disinfectants

from the water. Chlorine and chloramines

will erode the boiler or steam generator and

will result in a vessel failure, which is not

covered under warranty.

• Water feed lines to the steamer must be

ushed before nal connection. Particles

in the water could build up in the water and

steam valves or clog tubing and components

that maintain the water level and pressure

in the boiler or steam generator. If the water

supply is not free of sediment or is cloudy

after several minutes of ushing, a sediment

lter must be installed before use.

• If you have purchased a water ltration system

from Vulcan, please follow the instructions

provided with the water ltration system. At

the time of installation you must register your

steamer at www.vulcanequipment.com. You

will need to register your steamer at each

lter change to ensure your standard and

extended warranty is maintained.

Drain Connection

The 11/2" NPT threaded tting on the condenser

box must be extended a minimum of 12" (305

mm) - maximum of 72" (1829 mm) away from

steamer base (with no more than two elbows),

to an open air gap type drain (Fig. 1). Do not

reduce the 11/2" NPT drain piping throughout its

length. If the drain plumbing needs to exceed 72"

(Max. 120"), then the drain must be increased

to 2" diameter pipe.

Figure 1

Provide a suitable oor sink with a minimum

depth of 12" (305 mm). The oor sink is NOT to

be directly under the steamer and should be at

a distance so that steam vapors will not enter

the steamer from underneath. The drain should

slope down away from the steamer 1/4" for

every foot of drain pipe length. The drain pipe

should be either iron or copper. DO NOT use

PVC pipe; PVC pipe may lose its rigidity or glue

may fail. A 11/2" air gap is required for the drain.

ET SERIES STEAMERS

CLEANING

Disconnect the electrical

power to the machine and follow lockout/

tagout procedures before cleaning.

COOKING COMPARTMENT DRAIN

Keep compartment drains running freely. Inspect

compartment drains daily for blockage. Remove

any particles or debris from the perforated

strainer daily (or more often if needed).

After cooking greasy foods or seafood, close the

doors and operate each compartment for 25 to

30 minutes to ush any residual grease and oils

down the compartment drain. Make a solution

of warm water and non-chloride/chlorine/bleach

based detergent and pour 1/2 gallon (1.9 liters)

of it down each compartment drain. Rinse by

pouring 1/2 gallon (1.9 liters) of hot water down

each compartment drain.

DRAINING THE GENERATORS

To prevent malfunction of controls and clogging,

it is essential to drain both generators every day.

This will ush out any accumulated minerals

from the feed water. It will also aid in preventing

internal scale buildup which would interfere

with proper generator operation. Failure to

drain the generators every day will void the

steamer warranty. The presence of minerals

in suspension is indicated by a murky or milky

condition in the rst portion of the water drained.

The water being drained is

hot and under pressure. Use care when

cleaning or servicing the generator.

After the generator has been in operation, turn

the unit o with the power switch located on the

cooking compartment to drain the generator. The

generator will drain for approximately 5 minutes,

removing sediment, scale and lime buildup in

the generator.

COMPARTMENTS

Wash the inside of the compartment with

a solution of warm water and non-chloride

detergent. Rinse with warm water.

Thoroughly clean the exposed surfaces (sides,

front, door and top) with a damp cloth and polish

with a clean cloth daily. To remove discolorations,

use a nonabrasive cleaner.

DOOR GASKET

Clean the gasket-sealing surface of the

compartment door daily to remove food acids for

maximum gasket life. Do not use any solvents or

sharp instruments. Wash with a cloth moistened

in a solution of mild detergent and warm water.

Rinse with a fresh cloth moistened with warm

water to remove all traces of detergent.

Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never apply food

oils or petroleum lubricants directly to the door

gasket. Petroleum-based solvents and lubricants

will reduce gasket life.

LEAVE COMPARTMENT DOORS

OPEN

Leave the compartment doors slightly open when

the steamer is not in use. When the compartment

is idle, never latch the door and apply pressure

to the door gasket. Leaving the gasket under

pressure can cause permanent deformation

and reduce gasket life.

STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT

CARE AND CLEANING

Contrary to popular belief, stainless steels

ARE susceptible to rusting.

Corrosion on metals is everywhere. It is

recognized quickly on iron and steel as unsightly

yellow/orange rust. Such metals are called

“active” because they actively corrode in a

natural environment when their atoms combine

with oxygen to form rust.

Stainless steels are passive metals because

they contain other metals, like chromium,

nickel and manganese, that stabilize the atoms.

400 series stainless steels are called ferritic,

contain chromium, and are magnetic; 300 series

stainless steels are called austenitic, containing

chromium and nickel; and 200 series stainless,

also austenitic, contains manganese, nitrogen

and carbon. Austenitic types of stainless are

not magnetic, and generally provide greater

resistance to corrosion than ferritic types.

With 12 to 30% chromium, an invisible passive

lm covers the steel’s surface acting as a shield

against corrosion. As long as the lm is intact

and not broken or contaminated, the metal is

passive and stainless. If the passive lm of

stainless steel has been broken, equipment

starts to corrode and starts to rust.

Enemies of Stainless Steel

There are three basic things which can break

down stainless steel’s passivity layer and allow

corrosion to occur.

1. Mechanical abrasion.

2. Deposits and water.

3. Chlorides.

Mechanical abrasion means those things that

will scratch a steel surface. Steel pads, wire

brushes and scrapers are prime examples.

Water comes out of the faucet in varying degrees

of hardness. Depending on what part of the

country you live in, you may have hard or soft

water. Hard water may leave spots, and when

heated leaves deposits behind that if left to sit, will

break down the passive layer and rust stainless

steel. Other deposits from food preparation and

service must be properly removed.

Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They

are in water, food and table salt. One of the worst

chloride perpetrators can come from household

and industrial cleaners.

So what does all this mean?

Don’t despair!

Here are a few steps that can help prevent

stainless steel rust.

1. Use the proper tools.

When cleaning stainless steel products, use

non-abrasive tools. Soft cloths and plastic

scouring pads will not harm steel’s passive

layer. Stainless steel pads also can be used

but the scrubbing motion must be in the

direction of the manufacturers’ polishing

marks.

2. Clean with the polish lines.

Some stainless steel comes with visible

polishing lines or grain. When visible lines

are present, always scrub in a motion parallel

to the lines. When the grain cannot be seen,

play it safe and use a soft cloth or plastic

scouring pad.

3. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-

chloride containing cleaners.

While many traditional cleaners are loaded

with chlorides, the industry is providing

an ever-increasing choice of non-chloride

cleaners. If you are not sure of chloride

content in the cleaner used, contact your

cleaning supplier. If your present cleaner

contains chlorides, ask your supplier if

they have an alternative. Avoid cleaners

containing quaternary salts; it also can attack

stainless steel and cause pitting and rusting.

4. Treat your water.

Though this is not always practical,

softening hard water can do much to reduce

deposits. There are certain lters that can be

installed to remove distasteful and corrosive

elements. To insure proper water treatment,

call a treatment specialist.

GUIDELINES FOR MAINTAINING

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

There are four things that will break down

stainless steel and allow corrosion to develop:

1) Abrasion

2) Deposits

3) Water

4) Chlorides

Avoid rubbing with steel pads, wire brushes or

scrapers that can leave iron deposits on stainless

steel. Instead, use plastic scouring pads or soft

cloths. For stubborn stains, use products such as

MAINTENANCE

The steamer and its parts

are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning

or servicing the steamer. The cooking

compartment contains live steam. Stay

clear while opening door.

WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

A water treatment system is recommended for

the steamer. Refer to your supplier’s manual

for normal maintenance procedures for proper

scale-free operation.

REMOVAL OF LIME SCALE

DEPOSITS

The steamer should be delimed when symptoms

occur (see Troubleshooting Chart). This is

in accordance with the minimum preventive

maintenance schedule required by the Warranty.

Read and follow the

instructions on the deliming material

package. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Wear plastic or rubber gloves and safety

goggles when handling. Wash thoroughly

after handling. If deliming solution comes

in contact with the skin or eyes, rinse

thoroughly with clean water.

The steamer and its parts

are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning

or servicing the steamer. The cooking

compartment contains live steam. Stay

clear when opening door.

NOTE: The capacity of the generator is

approximately 1.8 gallons.

Items Required (not provided)

• Deliming material (Scale Release P/N:

854893-13. 28 ounces of Scale Release is

required to delime C24ET6/10 steamers.)

• Funnel

• Plastic or rubber gloves

• Safety goggles or face shield

• Measuring cup

• 1-gallon container for mixing deliming

solution

• Petrol-Gel Lubricant or equivalent foodgrade

grease for coating deliming port threads

NOTE: Deliming solution may cause the surface

of aluminum measuring tools to tarnish

or etch.

Cameo™, talc or Zud First Impression™. Always

rub parallel to the polish lines or with the grain.

Hard water will leave deposits that promote rust

on stainless steel. Treated water from softeners

or certain lters can eliminate these mineral

deposits. Other deposits from food or lubrication

must be properly removed by cleaning. Use

mild detergent and non-chloride/chlorine/bleach

based cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Where appropriate, apply a polish recommended

for stainless steel (such as Benet™ or Super

Sheen™) for extra protection and luster.

COOKING GUIDELINES

The steamer steam cooks vegetables,

frankfurters, eggs in their shells, and certain other

meats or food items at atmospheric pressure.

These cooking guidelines are suggestions only.

You should experiment with your food products

to determine the cooking times that will give you

the best results. Variables which aect cooking

time include size, weight, thickness of foods,

temperature, density, previous condition of the

foods (fresh, pre-blanched or frozen) and degree

of doneness desired.

Perforated pans should always be used when

possible. Perforated pans will reduce cook-

ing times, promotes evenness of cooking and

reduces moisture build up. When solid pans

are used avoid covering the pan with a lid or

plastic wrap during cooking.
