Congratulations on your purchase of a Town Food Steamer.
It will give you many years of trouble free use if it is properly used and maintained.
Please call our customer service department at 718/388-5650 with any questions regarding equipment operation or care.
Your new Town Food steamer has been carefully engineered and constructed with the best possible
workmanship and materials to provide many years of satisfactory service. Proper installation is vital if optimal perfor-
mance is to be achieved.
The Town custom steamer features Autofill. This feature automatically maintains the proper water level
in the steam generation tank. No electrical connections are required for the operation of this feature.
FIRST TIME OPERATION OF THE STEAMER
FIRST TIME OPERATION OF THE STEAMER
VERIFY THAT THE DUMP VALVE IS CLOSED BEFORE TURNING ON THE WATER. IT IS THE YELLOW
HANDLED VALVE LOCATED ON THE FRONT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT. IT IS CLOSED IF IT IS
PARALLEL TO THE UNIT.
PROCEED WITH THE FOLLOWING AFTER CONFIRMING THAT THE DUMP VALVE IS CLOSED:
INITIAL STARTUP
INITIAL STARTUP
1) Turn on the water green wash valve handle. Water must flow in a steady stream from the
front to the back drain gutter of the unit. Adjust water so flow is steady without any spill over or
excess cavitation.
2) Open the bottom door of the streamer cabinet to expose the steamer pan. Prime the tank
(on startup only) by adding approximately 1” of cold water. This will speed up the Autofill process.
Once Autofill is functioning this will only need to be done when the tank is drained for cleaning.
3) Keep the door open, and verify that Autofill is working- water level in tank will rise.
When it reaches 3” close the door.
4) Turn on the burner – follow directions for lighting burner with a pilot safety device.
The burner must be completely on. Handle should be vertical. The burner in this unit is either on or
off, there is no intermediate adjustment.
5) Steam should be produced within 30 minutes of the burner being turned on.
6) When steam starts, open door and check that there are several inches of water in the tank.
Autofill will maintain this level. If it does not or there is no water in tank turn off the burner to
avoid damage to the tank.
7) The water wash must remain on when the unit is in operation. At shutdown turn off the burner,
allowing water to run for 10 mintutes before tuning off the water.
8) After tank has been primed, it will maintain Autofill provided the water wash is used during operation.
It is not necessary to prime the tank each time the unit is operated.

The steamer tank is equipped with a dump valve. The yellow valve handle is located near the left bottom side
of the unit. This purpose of the valve is allow water to be drained from the main tank without removing it from
the steamer.
STEAMER TANK
STEAMER TANK
Tank should be cleaned and de-scaled periodically. Town recommends cleaning the tank a minimum of 3 times
per year or more if scaling or mineral deposits are present. Use the dump valve to empty the water in the tank.
After cleaning, flush out the tank by running water into it with the manual faucet and leaving the dump valve open.
When the tank is clean follow the first time operation instructions to refill the tank.
We recommend keeping a spare pilot safety valve, thermocouple and pilot on hand for repair. These parts are
consumable and will eventually need to be replaced. Contact your dealer or Town Food to purchase the parts.
