WARNING
!
When at a high temperature and high pressure, excessive splashing of
hot water may occur that could result in injury.
FUEL SUPPLY LINE PRESSURE AND LEAK TESTING
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSIZ223.1NFPA54, or the Natural and Propane Gas Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable, including:
1. The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping asystem during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5KPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less then 1/2 PSI (3.5KPa).
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than
1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), insure that that appliance is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal
to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), the appliance can be connected during the test, but the unit's gas valves must be in the OFF
position. Test all gas line connections for leaks with leak detection solution, or a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.
The gas supply line must be at least 3/4" ID (inside dimension) at the gas inlet of the appliance.
QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION
In North America, gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for
Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16 latest edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that
complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9 latest edition.
When installing the appliance you must also install adequate means for limiting the movement of the appliance without depending
on the connector or quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the movement of the appliance. The restraining device
should be attached to the appliance on the back panel.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
The plumbing installation should be done by a licensed plumber and must comply with local and national codes.
The instructions for appliances connected to the water mains by detachable hose sets shall state that new hose sets will be used
and that the old hose sets should not be reused (if applicable).
WATER INLET CONNECTIONS
The Pasta Cooker can incorporate an optional 3/4" male GHT (Garden Hose Thread) fitting for connection to the cold, fresh water
supply. Use a standard, high line pressure, braided stainless steel flexible water hose to simplify hook-up to the pasta cooker and
future maintenance.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
A 1-1/4" NPT male pipe exits the rear of the Pasta Cooker Cabinet to handle the skimmer/overflow water flow as well as the
volume of water discharged when you drain the pasta pot for periodic filling / cleaning. A professional quality large diameter flexible
hose is also available as an accessory for connection to a floor drain.
