Recommended Procedure for Understanding the Amount of Steam Generated in both the Manual
and Push Button Types of Steamers:
1. On a cool steamer take the food rack and food pan out of the steamer so that the generator
And water nozzle can be seen.
2. Warm up the unit for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. ES5M & ES5MT - Push the manual lever two to three times
ES5PB & ES5PBS - Push the button long enough to spray water on the generator surface.
4. Watch the water turn into steam. All of the water should evaporate in approximately 20 to
30 seconds.
By pumping the manual lever (ES5M & ES5MT) or pushing the button (ES5PB & ES5PBS) and
watching the time it takes to evaporate the water, the user will learn how to reach the optimal cook-
ing results, whether by pushing the button in or pumping the manual lever.
Timer Type of Steamers - (ES5CTS & ES5CT) - this timing is internally set by the manufacturer to
obtain the optimum cooking steam cycle.
__________________________________________
Food Pan and Grid on all models should be removed and washed with a detergent or run through a
dishwasher.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should the entire steamer be run through a
dishwasher. If any of the switches or components get wet they can malfunction. Never try to
use a device that has been wet— replace it.
WARNING: Perform all maintenance when the unit is cool.
Exterior of unit should be wiped with a damp cloth or cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner.
Water Pan on ES5M, ES5MT, ES5CT, ES5CTS, ES5PB & ES5PBS may be removed for cleaning
by pulling out to stop position; lift front of steamer about 3″ to clear pump and pull pan all the way
out. To replace, lift front of steamer about 3″, slide pan in pan track until it is about 2″ from closed
position, then lower steamer front and push pan completely in.
__________________________________________
Generator: The cavity in the generator may accumulate lime and is cleaned by scraping or wire
brushing. Do not remove all of this deposit since a thin coating improves steaming.
Water Nozzle: The water nozzle, the round cap in front center of generator, may be pulled out for
cleaning. Clean small holes and inside of tube with spring clip provided in the tube.
Water Inlet: If the tube through generator is limed, remove plug at bottom and push lime out with a
wire or small rod.
Strainers:
ES5M ES5MT, : Strainer is in bottom of pump. Remove wire ring, then strainer wash and
replace.

Tube, wash and replace.
ES5PB & ES5CT: To wash strainer located in hose:
1. Remove hose.
2. Remove quick connect fi tting.
3. Reverse hose (connect steamer end to supply valve). Drain into sink or bucket.
4. Run water through hose to clean.
5. Return to original connections.
There is a strainer in inlet of solenoid valve that normally does not require cleaning but under
extreme conditions may have to be removed and cleaned.
