Groen XS-208-8-1 6-Pan Intek Convection Steamer - Countertop, Connectionless, 208V 1-Phase

Groen rates the XS-208-8-1 at six 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in hotel pans. Groen heats it with electric elements, so the site needs no boiler room and no fuel line. It is specified where the same item is cooked several times across a service rather than once in the morning.

The connectionless arrangement takes the plumbing out of the specification altogether, because water goes into a reservoir the staff fill and there is no drain line to run. Input is 8 kW. Convection is what makes a full load even, because moving steam reaches the back of a cavity where still steam does not.

Construction is 14 gauge reinforced stainless in the cavity, behind a two panel door whose outer skin is the same gauge. The panel lights report COOK, STANDBY, HEAT and LOW WATER, so the reservoir state is read off the front rather than looked for. Stainless steel lines the cavity. Operation is a power button and a 60 minute timer with a continuous steam setting, plus a READY light to say when the cavity is up. It carries an NSF listing.

It is a countertop machine, so the bench it stands on has to take it loaded and wet. The supply is 208 V single phase. The draw is 38.5 A. Allow 28-5/16 Inch by 15-1/2 Inch on the bench, with 16 Inch of height above it. The door swing decides the rest of the layout around it.
