INTRODUCTION
Since 1907 Groen has been in the business of designing and manufacturing the
finest commercial appliances for the food service industry. Chefs, cooks and
kitchen support personnel have come to depend upon the quality of construction
and the reliability of operation.
Groen, in turn, depends upon our service centers and their field service personnel
to keep the equipment in top operation condition. In order to do this, our designs
are made with service and reliability in mind.
Once the Groen equipment is sold, manufactured, delivered and installed, our
reputation is clearly in your hands. As part of our team, we value your efforts and
input to our production design.
We will do all we can to make your job of keeping the equipment in perfect
working order as easy as we can. Together, we will keep our customers satisfied.

SAFETY
The Groen SmartSteam Pro Boilerless has been designed with safety in mind.
This includes safety to the operating and maintenance personnel, safety to the
facility in which the equipment is installed and safety to the equipment itself.
The steamer has been designed to the highest industry standards and has
been certified by the National Sanitation Foundation Testing Laboratory (NSF),
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and/or CSA (gas).
The steamer contains several devices which are specially used to prevent
unsafe conditions. If they are disconnected during service, make sure they are
reinstalled properly and tested before the steamer is operated.
The safety precautions in the manuals are in accordance with ANSI 535
Standard. Three different signal words alert you to a hazardous situation:
DANGER, WARNING, AND CAUTION.
DANGER : The signal word danger indicates that a hazardous situation exists and
could result in serious injury or death.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• When you open the steamer door, be very careful to avoid escaping steam.
Steam can cause burns.
• After removing the fan baffle partition, do not put your hands or other object
into the cooking cavity until the fan comes to a complete stop. Rotating fan
blades can cause severe injury!
WARNING
: The signal word WARNING tells you that a possibly hazardous
situation is present, and if not avoided, could cause serious injury or death.
• Always turn off steamer power before removing partitions or panels.
• Disconnect the steamer from the power source before performing any
service.
• Unit has disconnect power switch located on the rear panel.
CAUTION
: The signal word CAUTION warns you of a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
• Steamer may be hot. Take precaution to prevent any contact with hot
surfaces.
• Be sure all interior partitions have been installed before operating the
steamer.
• All steamer operators and service personnel should be familiar with correct
and safe operating procedures.
• Be sure steamer drain is not blocked as this could result in improper steamer
operations.
Two other signal words, not directly related to personal safety, are also used in
this manual: NOTICE and IMPORTANT
NOTICE:
Notice is used to alert you to hazards that may result in component and/
or equipment damage.
IMPORTANT:
