Water Connection(s) - Units Manual Filled
No
Water Connection(s) - Units with Autofill
Make sure that the incoming water connection is made
with a 3/4” .H. COLD water hose. Rigid pipe is not
required. The water pressure should be between 30 and
60 PSIG. Higher pressures will require the use of a
pressure regulator. Make sure that all connections are
tight with no leaks - no matter how small.
Drain Line Installation - Units with Autofill
or Units with Drain Kit
The drain line should not be less than:
1 - 1/2” - for single units
2” (
6
E) - for double stacked units
There must be a 2” air gap to the (non-
pressureized) building drain. Make sure that the
drain is sloped AWAY and DOWN from the
steamer and that there are no obstructions in the
line. Failure to observe these requirements may
cause a water trap in the drain line and produce
enough back pressure to prevent proper cavity
draining - resulting in condensate water leaking
from the door. Drain line must NOT be made of
plastic pipe. It must be able to withstand
boiling water.
water connection is needed. The water will be
poured directly into the water cavity reservoir. Avoid
the use of any chemically treated water specifically
filtered water.
Drain Connection
The Vortex™ Connectionless Steamer should be
manually drained to the bottom containment pan
supplied by the factory. If the unit is connected to a
drain, do not connect more than two units to one
drain line or pressure from one unit will effect the
second unit.
Stacking Units Instructions
Remove drain containment pan from the bottom of
unit(s). Unscrew to remove adjustable legs from
base of Vortex unit(s). Unfasten nuts and bolts on
stand platform(s). Place Vortex unit(s) on stand
platform. Align the (4) leg holes with the holes in the
platform. Secure Vortex unit(s) to stand platform(s)
using bolts and washers provided in step 2 as shown
in detail “A” of figure 1 on page 7.
For double stack units only:
By loosening the left screw and removing the right
screw provided, mount steam exhaust bracket
assembly to the back panel of the top Vortex unit as
shown in detail “B” of Figure 1 on page 7. Attach the
steam exhaust hose from the bottom Vortex unit’s
steam outlet tube to the top Vortex unit’s steam
exhaust bracket assembly using hose clamps
provided as shown in figure 2 on page 7. (Note:
Steam exhaust hose may need to be cut to fit.)
Steam Vent Assembly Instructions
Remove steam diverter assembly from
literature bag which can be found inside of unit.
Slide loose end as shown over unit steam outlet,
tighten worm gear clamp with flat head screw driver.
Be sure steam outlet is pointing in the upward
position. (Shown below)
