products and practices. For more information, visit www.energystar.gov.
BENEFITS OF ENERGY STAR® CERTIFIED COMMERCIAL FOOD SERVICE (CFS) EQUIPMENT
Commercial Steam Cookers
Commercial steam cookers that have earned the ENERGY
STAR are approximately 60 percent more energy efficient than
standard models. To meet the strict efficiency requirements
developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
ENERGY STAR program, manufacturers use high quality
components and employ innovative designs.
Eligible Products: Gas and electric steam cookers. Models may
include countertop models, wall-mounted models and floor-
models mounted on a stand, pedestal or cabinet-style base.
Steamers must be 3-pan or larger to qualify for ENERGY STAR.
Ineligible Products: Hybrid/combination products and
pressure steamers.
EXAMPLES OF TECHNICAL APPROACHES
TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Connectionless design
Closed-system design
Improved insulation
Improved gaskets

The eight ENERGY STAR CFS equipment categories include: griddles, ovens, hot food holding cabinets, fryers, steamers, dishwashers,
ice machines, and refrigerators and freezers.
ADDITIONAL ENERGY STAR HIGHLIGHTS
Outfitting an entire kitchen with a suite of ENERGY STAR certified CFS equipment could save operators about 340 MBtu/year, or the
equivalent of more than $3,100/year. These energy savings would prevent about 39,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
Models that have earned the ENERGY STAR meet strict guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Their performance is
certified by third-parties based on testing performed in an EPA-recognized laboratory.
ENERGY STAR qualified equipment is often a baseline for achieving credits from commercial kitchen and restaurant certification
and rating programs.
