ES5 Series - Operation and Maintenence
IMPORTANT: KEEP LID CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. This keeps the food pan hot and reduces
condensation in the steam chamber. When steamer is fi rst installed, or when reconnecting water
hose, operate STEAM button several times to purge air from lines.
General Tips and Recommendations for Operation.
To sustain optimum cooking performance: It is important to maintain the correct amount of steam
generated. Either holding the manual pump (ES5M, ES5M18, & ES5MT) or pressing the button
(ES5PB, ES5PB18 or ES5PBS, ES5PBS18) too long will fl ood the generator with too much water.
On the other hand not holding the pump (ES5M & ES5M18) or pressing the button (ES5PB,
ES5PB18, ES5PBS & ES5PBS18) long enough and not spraying enough water will not produce
enough steam on the generator to properly cook the food in the desired time.
Recommended pumping and button pressing times for proper water levels in the generator:
ES5M, ES5M18 & ES5MT - It is recommended that the user pump the handle two to three
times every 20 to 30 seconds. If it is pumped more times or if the user does not wait long enough
between pumps, the generator will fl ood. Also, if it is pumped only once every minute there will not
be enough water in the generator to produce the correct amount of steam to sustain optimal cooking
performance.
ES5PB, ES5PB18, ES5PBS & ES5PBS18 - It is important to hold the button in for 3 seconds.
If the button is held too long, the generator will fl ood. If the button is held too short of a time, not
enough water will be sprayed onto the generator to create enough cooking steam. See below (next
paragraph) for recommendations on how to know this.
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 ES5M18 & ES5MT - Push the manual lever two to three times
ES5PB, ES5PB18, ES5PBS & ES5PBS18 - 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, ES5M18 & ES5MT) or pushing the button (ES5PB, ES5PB18,
ES5PBS &ES5PBS18) and watching the time it takes to evaporate the water, the user will learn how
to reach the optimal cooking results, whether by pushing the button in or pumping the manual lever.
Timer Type of Steamers - (ES5CTS, ES5CTS18, ES5CT & ES5CT18) - this timing is internally set
by the manufacturer to obtain the optimum cooking steam cycle.
__________________________________________
Maintenance
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, ES5M18, ES5MT, ES5CT, ES5CT18, ES5CTS, ES5CTS18, ES5PB,
ES5PB18, ES5PBS & ES5PBS18 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.

Heating and Cooking Guide
These suggestions are made only to help the operator get started. Since each location will
have diff erent portions and diff erent requirements, each operator must determine his own
operation habits. Please remember that the steamer conserves its steam in the drawer and
therefore does not often need repeated shots. The main exception is when frozen product
must be defrosted.
If a product is at room temperature or refrigerated, start with 2 shots. This ensures that the
food pan is full of steam.
If a product is frozen, start with 3 shots because condensation on the cold product eliminates
the steam quickly.
