The Difference is in the Details
More power per pan
SmartSteam100 gas units, with efficient infrared burners,
have at least 22% more BTUs per pan than comparably-
sized boilerless competitors.

Also, electric SmartSteam100 units are in the top of their
class for KW per pan.
Efficient use of steam
SmartSteam100 generates only the amount of steam
necessary for efficient cooking. Spent steam is directed
upward into the kitchen hood system for fast removal and
increased comfort of your workers. Less water is required for
the entire process.
Convection fan
Groen was the first to introduce a convection fan into a steamer
and this tradition is continued with a powerful side-mounted
fan in SmartSteam100. The fan ensures fast, even distribution
of steam throughout the entire cooking cavity.

Hands-free push-up handle for
ease of use
Compact footprint
SmartSteam100 can be stationed next to most foodservice
equipment to save valuable kitchen and hood vent space.
Minimum two-inch clearance required on both sides. Shield kit
available for units installed in high heat areas of the kitchen.
Dry heating elements
Electric elements are individually attached to the underside
of the steamer cavity and sized for optimum heat transfer into
the steam reservoir without immersion in water. The result is
energy savings.
Infrared gas burners
State-of-the-art burners deliver heat more efficiently and
conserve on energy costs.
Water resistant
Water won't splash into a SmartSteam100 unit during typical
kitchen wash down by an Operator. Most competitive units have
side louvers that allow water to enter the unit causing failure.
Ergonomic control panel
Tougher material, simplified indicators, push button controls,
and water resistant switch and hour meter provide an easy to
understand and use interface.
Hands-free door handles
Anyone who has had to struggle with a paddle or refrigerator
door handle while holding a pan of food will appreciate the
convenience of the Groen push-up handle. No hands are
required to open or close the door.
