SECTION 3:

 

STEAM-EX MODEL GCX-2 

FLOOR MOUNTED CONVECTION STEAMER

 

 

Fig. 2: The Cabinet is the lower section of the Steam-Ex providing not only a base for the Cooker to be positioned at a 
proper working height but also the enclosure for the Gas Boiler and Controls.

 

 
 

THE APPLIANCE AREA MUST BE KEPT FREE AND CLEAR FROM COMBUSTIBLES. DO NOT 
OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR.

 

FRONT VIEW 

Item A: Gas Boiler weldment assembly.

 

Item B: Handhole Cover Assembly when unbolted and removed allows internal examination and cleaning of Boiler if 
required.

 

 
 

AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR REMOVE HANDHOLE COVER ASSEMBLY. INSPECT BOILER 
INTERIOR FOR SCALANT AND LIME BUILD UP.

 

Item C: The Water Gauge assembly has a glass tube for visual verification that water level is being maintained in the 
Boiler during operation. The manual valves at the top and the bottom of this assembly must be fully open and only closed 
if damage should occur to the glass tube.

 

 
 

OBSERVE THAT THE WATER IS CLEAN AND CLEAR IN THE GLASS TUBE. THE 
APPEARANCE OF EXTREME MURKINESS IN THE WATER INDICATES INADEQUATE WATER 
QUALITY AND WILL CAUSE FAILURE OF CONTROLS AND THE APPLIANCE. WARRANTY 
DOES NOT COVER MALFUNCTION DUE TO POOR WATER CONDITIONS.

 

Item D: Pilot Burner should remain lit at all times unless appliance will not be in use for an extended period of time.

 

 
 

IF AT ANY TIME THE FLAME SHOULD BECOME EXTINGUISHED. A 5 MINUTE PERIOD FOR 
COMPLETE SHUT OFF OF GAS SUPPLY IS REQUIRED BEFORE RELIGHTING.

 

Item E: Main Burners of aluminized steel tube.

 

 
 

FLOOR AREA BENEATH BURNERS MUST BE KEPT FREE AND CLEAR TO PROVIDE AIR FOR 
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION.

 

Item F: Gas Combination Control Valve regulates flow of natural gas (or propane) to Burners. Operation is dependent on 
other controls. Refer to START UP TEST RUN - SECTION 1.

 

Item G: Safety Sensor, enclosed by the Sensor Cover Box, will shut off the Main Burners when excessive heat occurs 
should the water level in the Boiler drop below a level sufficient to immerse and protect the Boiler tubes, heads and shell 
that come in contact with direct heat from the Burners.

 

Item H: Cold Water Solenoid Valve fastened to the right rear bottom of Generator Control Box supplies cold water to 
condense live steam before it exhausts into the drain and is controlled by the Thermostat (Item N).
