Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction

The cooker and cabinet are constructed from all-welded type 304 #4 finished stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in a demanding kitchen environment.

Independent Compartment Controls

Each of the three compartments is independently controlled by an automatic timer, complete with visible and audible signals, allowing for simultaneous cooking of different items without flavor transfer.

Advanced Door Mechanism

Doors feature a removable inner liner of aluminum plate with a full perimeter gasket seal, a one-piece welded stainless steel outer shell, and a secure wheel-and-screw closing mechanism. Doors open 180 degrees for easy loading and unloading.

Integrated Water Treatment System

A standard water treatment system, split water line, and water in 'Y' strainer (condenser feed) are included to protect the boiler from water quality issues, prolonging equipment life and maintaining performance.

Automatic Boiler Controls

Equipped with CSD-1 boiler controls, electronic ignition, automatic water level control, pressure gauge, water gauge glass, pressure control with secondary safety pressure control, air vent, safety relief valve, and automatic blowdown for safe and efficient operation.

Efficient Steam Management

At the end of each cooking cycle, controls automatically shut off and exhaust incoming steam, drain condensate, and sound an audible signal. Thermostatically controlled cold water condenses exhausted steam before it's released to the drain.

Universal Pan Supports

Each compartment is provided with universal pan supports designed to hold multiple full-size pans, maximizing cooking capacity.

Durable Cabinet Base

The unit is mounted on a 36-inch cabinet base featuring a full perimeter angle frame, reinforced counter and boiler mountings, hinged stainless steel doors, and 6-inch stainless steel legs with adjustable flanged feet for secure floor mounting.
