Your Groen HY-6E HyPerSteam Convection Steamer is designed to give years of
service. It has two stainless steel cavities (cooking chambers) which are served by
twin, independent atmospheric steam generators which are electrically heated. A
powerful blower circulates the steam in each cavity to increase heating efciency.
Each cavity holds up to three steam table pans (12” x 20” x 2½”). An 18 gauge
stainless steel case encloses the cavities, the steam generators and the control
compartment that houses electrical components. Door hinges are reversible (the doors
may be set to open from the left or right). Operating Controls are on the front panel.
HY-6E steamers are equipped with fully electronic controls and a button-activated,
preprogrammed CLEAN cycle. The On-Off switch is a touch pad control, and the
distinctive symbol for steam is integrated into the panel design.
The drain system includes a spray condenser, which helps keep steam from escaping
down the condensate drain.
Equipment Description
The HY-6E has two independent cavities, each
with its own base-mounted steam generator.
Inspection & Unpacking
The HY-6E will be delivered completely assembled in a heavy crate attached to a skid.
On receipt, inspect the crate carefully for exterior damage.
Carefully cut the straps around the crate and detach the crate from the skid. Be careful
to avoid personal injury or equipment damage from staples which might be left in the
crating.
Write down the model number, serial number and installation date. Keep this information
for reference. Space for these entries is provided at the top of the Service Log in the
back of this manual.
When starting installation, lift the unit straight up off the skid. Check packing materials
to make sure loose parts such as the condensate drip tray are not discarded with the
packing material.
CAUTION
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION
AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT WEIGHS 550 POUNDS. GET HELP
AS NEEDED AND USE MATERIAL HANDLING
EQUIPMENT TO MOVE IT.
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 Groen (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.

CAUTION
DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT WITH THE RIGHT
OR LEFT SIDE VENTS BLOCKED OR WITHIN
12 INCHES OF A HEAT SOURCE (SUCH AS A
BRAISING PAN, DEEP FRYER, CHAR BROILER
OR KETTLE). TO AVOID DRAINAGE PROBLEMS,
LEVEL THE UNIT FRONT TO BACK.
CAUTION
EACH UNIT MUST HAVE A SEPARATE
GROUND WIRE FOR SAFE OPERATION.
WARNING
TO AVOID DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY,
FOLLOW THE ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC
EXACTLY WHEN CONNECTING THE UNIT.
6. Branch Circuit Protection
Each conductor must have over-current protection. Refer to the label on the back
of the unit for the proper wire type and size. Connections to the unit must be
watertight. We strongly recommend that the HY-6E Steamer have its own branch
circuit protection. Current and power demands for the different units are as follows:
WATER CONNECTION(S)
Install a check valve to prevent back ow in the incoming cold water line, as required by
local plumbing codes. Water pressure in the line should be between 30 and 60 PSIG and
must deliver a ow rate of 1.5 to 3.0 gallons per minute. If pressure is above 60 PSIG, a
pressure regulator will be needed.
A ¾ inch female NH connector (garden hose type) is used to attach the water supply to
the inlet valve. Minimum inside diameter of the water feed line is ½ inch. Use a washer
in the hose connection. Do not allow the connection to leak, no matter how slowly. If
you have the dual water connection option, put the treated water (softened) to the right
intake (looking from the rear of the unit), and untreated water to the left. Connections for
both are made as described above.
DRAIN CONNECTION
The HY-6E Steamer must be leveled front to back. A 1½ inch (38mm) ID hose may be
attached to the drain pipe by means of a hose.
Do NOT use plastic pipe. The drain must withstand boiling water.
Install the drain line with a constant downward pitch. Do not allow any water traps in
the line. A trap can cause pressure to build up inside the cavity during steaming, which
will make the door gasket leak. IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE DRAIN WILL VOID YOUR
WARRANTY
Installation & Start-Up
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THE DRAIN DIRECTLY TO A
BUILDING DRAIN. BLOCKING THE DRAIN IS
HAZARDOUS.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE PLASTIC PIPE. DRAIN MUST BE
RATED FOR VERY HOT WATER.
Don’t allow water traps in the hose.

CONTROLS
Operator controls are on the front right of the unit. The control panel has the following
touch pads and indicator lights:
The timer is used in three ways:
1. The ON/OFF touch pad gets the HyPerSteam ready for use, or shuts it off.
2. The READY indicator light shows that the steam generator is at standby
temperature and the cavity is hot enough to begin steaming.
3. When one probe is covered with lime scale or fails, the
DELIME light ashes briey every few seconds, but the
unit will continue to operate. Delime the unit as soon
as possible. The DELIME light will ash until power is
removed from the unit, or the unit goes through a clean
cycle.
4. If the problem continues, both probes may fail. Then the
steamer stops working, and the SERVICE light is lit. If
DELIMING/CLEANING does not correct, turn off the power
and contact an Authorized Groen Service Representative
for repair.
5. The DELIME indicator light is lit when the unit is operating
in the cleaning mode.
6. The HI TEMP indicator light comes on when the steam
generator is too hot. The unit will automatically shut off,
and cannot be turned on again until the steam generator
cools and the HI TEMP indicator light goes out.
7. The TIMING indicator light stays on when the timer is
running.
8. The CLEAN touch pad is used to start the automatic 50
minute deliming cycle.
9. The timer is used in three ways:
a. In the OFF position the steam generator stays at a low boil
or “holding” temperature.
b. When a cook time is set, the unit steams until the timer runs down to OFF. At
that time steaming stops, a red light comes on and a beeper sounds.
c. With the timer turned to the ON position, the unit steams continuously. The
green light stays lit. The steamer will not time down.
Operation
WARNING
ANY POTENTIAL USER OF THE EQUIPMENT
