Frequently Asked Questions

The Crown GCX-24 operates with a gas-heated steam boiler, producing its own steam at 9-11 psi (62-76kPa) using either natural gas or propane.
The controls for the standard GCX-24 operate on 115 VAC, 1 Phase, 60 Hz, drawing 2 Amps per compartment. Optional configurations for 220 or 240 VAC, 1 Phase, 50 Hz are also available.
The steamer requires specific water quality parameters, including total dissolved solids less than 60 PPM, total alkalinity less than 20 PPM, silica less than 13 PPM, chlorine less than 1.5 PPM, and a pH factor of 6.8-7.3. Crown recommends installing their Water Treatment System, and failure or malfunction due to poor water quality is not covered under warranty.
No, the 2" IPS drain should be piped to an open floor drain. A solid connection is not permitted; an 'open gap' between the steamer and the floor drain is required.
Each compartment can hold up to 12 full-size (12"x20"x2-1/2" deep) pans. Alternatively, it can hold 24 (1" deep) pans or 8 (4" deep) pans per compartment.
