Your Groen GSSP-BL Boilerless Steamer is designed to give years of service. It
has a mirrored stainless steel cavity (steaming chamber) and an atmospheric
steam generating reservoir. A powerful side-mounted convection fan circulates
the steam in the cavity to increase heating efciency, steaming speed, and
uniformity.
Each cavity holds up to three, ve or ten steam table pans (12 x 20 x 21/2 deep).
An 18-gauge stainless steel case encloses the cavity, the steam generating
reservoir and the control compartment that houses electrical components. Door
hinges are eld-reversible (the door may be set to open from the left or right).

of at least 1/4 per foot. Observe local code regarding air gap spacing and drain
connections.
FACTORY-STACKED UNITS
This section is applicable only if you are installing factory-stacked units. Installing
stacked steamers is similar to installing a single unit. The steamers are stacked
and assembled at the factory and delivered with the water connections and drain
hoses required for a single point connection.
1. Dual Water Connections
The same water supply connection is used for both units. At the water inlet
valve a 3/4 inch female NH connector (garden hose type) is used for the water
supply.
2. Electrical Supply Connection
Separate electrical connections will be required for each steamer to be
stacked. Each steamer unit must have it’s own branch circuit protection.
3. Drain Connection
Steamers must be leveled front to back, and pitched to the front (maximum
1/4 inch) by adjusting the bullet feet on the cabinet or stand base.
For all factory-stacked GSSP-BL steamers, a 2-1/2 inch ID hose is attached to
the unit drain. It must be rated for boiling water.

7 OM-GSSP-BL-E BOILERLESS STEAMER
Press DELIME and follow instruction displayed on the unit (shown above) for the
delime procedure. Delime process takes approximately 60-90 minutes. Once
complete the unit will restart and go through the start up diagnostic sequence.
CUP & OVERFLOW DRAINS
1. Turn your unit off and allow it to completely drain. Units will drain automatically
when the units are powered off. This is a 5 minute process.
2. Once the reservoir has completely drained (approximately 5 minutes), stand
to the hinged side of the door and slowly open the door, allowing all of the
steam to escape from the cavity. Allow the cavity to completely cool down
and conrm that the reservoir has completely emptied before cleaning the
overow drain.
3. Remove the steam lid (image below left) and fan cover assembly (image below
right), prior to cleaning the overow drain.
4. Insert the cleaning brush into the cup and overow drains located at the lower,
middle, and back right side of your steamer’s cavity (image below). As the
brush is pushed through the overow drain, it will bend to follow the shape
of the drain as it travels the length of the overow drain. Once you use the
cleaning brush for the rst time, the wire between the handle and the bristles
will retain a curved shape after the brush is removed from the overow drain.
The brush is designed to bend/curve in this fashion. There is no need to
straighten the wire between cleaning/usage.
5. With the cleaning brush, push and pull through the entire lengthy of the cup
and overow drains several times. The brush should be inserted at least ten
inches (10) into the cup and overow drains to pass through the entire length
of the drain piping. Repeat as necessary until the cup and overow drains is
clean. Ensure that the cup and overow drains works properly by pouring or
squirting water into the cup and overow drains and conrming that the water
is owing freely into the drain receptacle and not being blocked and backing
up into the steamer cavity.
If the cup and overow drains is clogged such that the cleaning brush will
not clear the blockage or if water cannot move through the cup and overow
drains into the drain receptacle without backing up into the steamer cavity,
then a service call needs to be made and all use of the steamer must be
discontinued until the service agent evaluates the issue and conrms that the
unit is ready for further operation.
6. Clean the steaming cavity per the cleaning instructions in your operators’
manual.
7. Re-install the steam lid and fan cover assembly.
8. Leave the door open to prolong the life of the door gasket and to allow the
cavity to air out.
9. Clean, dry and store the overow cleaning brush after each use.
10. If a replacement brush is needed, the part number is 175977.
MAINTENANCE
The Boilerless Steamer is designed for minimum maintenance and no user
adjustments should be necessary. Certain parts may need replacement after
prolonged use. If there is a need for service, only Groen Authorized Service Agents
should perform the work.
If steam or condensate is seen leaking from around the door, take the following steps:
1. Check the door gasket. Replace it if it is cracked or split.
2. Inspect the steaming chamber drain to be sure it is not blocked.
3. Adjust the door latch pin to allow for changes that might occur as the gasket ages.
a. Loosen the lock nut at the base of the latch pin, then turn the latch pin 1/4
turn clockwise, and tighten the lock nut.
b. After adjustment, run the unit to test for further steam leakage.
c. If there is still leakage, repeat the adjustment
d. Continue adjusting the pin clockwise until the door ts tightly enough to
prevent leakage. The hinge may also be adjusted.
