Groen XS-240-8-3 6-Pan Intek Convection Steamer - Countertop, Connectionless, 240V 3-Phase

The cavity of the XS-240-8-3 takes six 12 x 20 x 2-1/2 in hotel pans, loaded straight off the prep bench. 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. It is rated at 8 kW. Convection is what makes a full load even, because moving steam reaches the back of a cavity where still steam does not.

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. The cavity is lined in stainless steel, which is the surface that gets wiped at the end of a shift. The panel is deliberately plain: an ON-OFF button, a 60 minute timer that also runs continuously, and a READY light. Groen lists it to NSF.

It is a countertop machine, so the bench it stands on has to take it loaded and wet. This build is wired for 240 V three phase. The draw is 19.4 A. Allow 28-5/16 Inch by 15-1/2 Inch on the bench, with 16 Inch of height above it. Leave working room on the loading side, because a full pan is carried out at arm's length.
