Groen XS-208-8-3 6-Pan Intek Convection Steamer - Countertop, Connectionless, 208V 3-Phase

The pan rating decides this purchase, and on the XS-208-8-3 it is 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. Rice, potatoes, frozen vegetables and shellfish are the everyday load.

Being connectionless, it is installed with a circuit and nothing else, the reservoir being filled at the unit rather than piped to it. It is rated at 8 kW. Because it is a convection steamer, the steam is driven over the pans rather than drifting, and a bottom pan cooks at much the same rate as a top one.

The cavity is 14 gauge reinforced stainless, and the door is a two panel assembly with a 14 gauge stainless outer skin, which is the part that takes the knocks in a busy kitchen. 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. Groen lists it to NSF.

The unit sits on a bench, and a support stand is offered for sites with no counter to give up. This build is wired for 208 V three phase. The space to allow is 28-5/16 Inch wide by 15-1/2 Inch deep and 16 Inch high. Where it goes is decided by where the loaded pans have to travel afterwards.
