5)
Please refer to spec sheet for Steamer dimensions and clearances. Maintain the following
minimum dimensions around the unit for safe and efficient operation, maintenance and service.
•
Maintain a 3-inch operating clearance at the sides of the unit, and at least a 3-inch
clearance at the back.
•
A 12 in clearance is recommended on the right side for servicing the steamer.
•
Approximately 24 inches of clearance is recommended in front of the unit for opening the
door and standard pan clearance.
6)
The steamer must be level both front to back and side to side. Select an operating surface
that is level enough to allow leveling the unit without extreme adjustment of the legs.
7)
The location selected must be capable of supporting 650 lbs. for a Gemini steamer. This
includes the weight of the water and the food.
b.
Exhaust Hood Requirements
The Gemini gas steamer MUST be installed under a suitable ventilation hood as required by the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. The venting hood system must also include an
interlock to prevent the operation of this steamer without the operation of the ventilation hood.
The exhaust hood must extend over the gas flue opening on top of the steamer and meet the
following requirements:
1). The Gemini gas steamer must be vented in accordance with all local, state and national
codes for venting gas fired appliances.
2). The exhaust hood must be sized for the cumulative ventilation requirements of all the gas-
fired appliances in the area including the Gemini. Spec sheet contains the dimensions, gas
flow, and BTU per hour data required to calculate the minimum required hood dimensions
and minimum ventilation capacity (c.f.m.) for the Gemini 6 and 10 pan steamers.
3). Do not connect the exhaust hood directly to the flue outlet of the steamer.
4). If an existing hood cannot be used, a new one should be constructed over the steamer.
c.
Positioning and Leveling the Steamer
NOTE:
If there is not enough room to work on the drain, electrical, gas and water lines with the
unit in place, postpone positioning and leveling the unit until all site preparation is
completed. After the lines are prepared, position and level the steamer then connect the
utility lines.
Move the steamer into position. Using a level, adjust the adjustable legs until the unit is level.
WARNING
INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE could result from improper lifting. A Gemini
Steamer weighs approximately 545 pounds. Use enough workers with experience
lifting heavy equipment to place the steamer on the supporting surface
