Stop compromising throughput for consistent cooking quality. This convection steamer delivers controlled, high-capacity steam cooking without a boiler, enabling continuous production and precise temperature control for high-volume kitchens. Food service managers will appreciate its robust stainless steel construction and electrical design that integrates into three-phase 480v systems with predictable performance.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug unit and turn off power at breaker before cleaning. Drain residual water and wipe interior with a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Scrub trays and pan wells with warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean door gasket and exterior 304 stainless steel with non-abrasive cleaner to avoid damage. Remove debris from vents and check 4" adjustable legs and bullet feet for buildup. Reconnect power only when fully dry to prevent shock and ensure safe operation.#@@#Additional Info#@#Sterling Manufacturing’s SP480-12-3 MF SBU is a 26.5" stainless steel electric boilerless convection steamer with six 12" x 20" pans, 12 kW at 480 volts, 60 Hz, 3-Ph operation, manual fill, 60-minute timer, and ENERGY STAR certification.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop compromising throughput for consistent cooking quality.

#@@# Capacity Management#@#
This unit holds six 12" x 20" x 2.5" pans, allowing kitchens to stage multiple product runs and reduce cycle frequency. Operators can load full pans for batch cooking and maintain consistent portion output across service periods.
#@@# Boilerless Operation#@#
The boilerless design eliminates the need for a separate steam boiler and associated maintenance, simplifying installation and reducing footprint. Technicians access connection points faster, while staff avoid boiler-specific procedures that slow production.
#@@# Power and Performance#@#
Built for 12,000 watts on a 480v/60/3-ph electrical supply, the steamer reaches operational steam profiles rapidly and sustains output for continuous cooking and hold modes. Chefs benefit from repeatable cook cycles and stable internal temperatures under load.
#@@# Construction and Durability#@#
Manufacturers constructed the interior and exterior from 304 stainless steel, resisting corrosion and enabling aggressive sanitation routines. Service teams will inspect welds and hinges easily, while front-facing surfaces resist wear in high-traffic areas.
#@@# Control and Timing#@#
A manual fill system pairs with a 60-minute timer, adjustable thermostat, and a continuous cook-and-hold mode to support sequential workflows and long service windows. Line cooks set precise cook intervals and shift into hold without interrupting downstream stations.

• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Inspect the steam generator daily and descale weekly using manufacturer-approved solutions to prevent mineral buildup. Drain residual water after each shift and dry the cavity to inhibit corrosion. Clean interior and exterior 304 stainless steel with neutral pH cleaner; avoid chlorine-based agents. Verify gaskets and door seals for compression and replace when softened. Tighten electrical connections per CSA guidelines and confirm 480v/60/3-Ph wiring integrity monthly.
