c. Testing Gas Supply Lines
1). Leak Testing the appliance
Before permanently turning on gas to the steamer or after any service to the gas supply, test
all pipe joints for leaks with a soap and water solution. All leaks must be corrected before
attempting to operate the steamer.
2). Pressure Testing the Gas Supply Lines
The steamer must be isolated from the gas supply system during any pressure testing as
follows:
·
The appliance and its main manual shut-off valve must be
disconnected
from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of 14” water column (½ psi or 3.45 kPa). Be sure to leak test all fittings with a
soap and water solution after reconnecting the gas supply.
·
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its main
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 14” water column (½ psi or 3.45 kPa).
5. Install Electric Power Lines
The electrical supply must match the power requirements specified on the steamers rating plate and be
made in accordance with the following requirements.
a. The steamer must be grounded and have the electrical power lines installed in accordance with
local codes and/or the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-LATEST EDITION (USA) or the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. The wiring diagram is located on the back of
the lower front panel.
b. Optional Factory Supplied Plug
·
If a cord and plug are supplied with the unit, plug the unit into a grounded outlet dedicated to
the steamer.
·
A cord-equipped appliance will be equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard, it should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. Do not cut off or remove the grounding prong from the plug.
