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 manufacturers 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.

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.
