INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
EC3 COMBI OVEN
Water
A cold water outlet of 3/4" thread, male, must be provided at no more than 5' (1.5 m) from the water
valve on the right side of the oven. Use the hose provided with the equipment.
WARNING: Using hot water to feed the oven may damage oven internal tubing and automatically
voids the oven warranty.
Drainage
A ¾" hose and clamp are provided with the oven for drainage purposes. The hose must be connected
with the clamp to the oven bottle trap outlet, located at the lower back of the oven. Through this hose,
excess water and food fat will be drained.
Connect the free end of the hose to the building drain system observing the following instructions:
Ÿ
The free end of the hose must be connected to a drainage system at a lower level than the end
connected to the oven siphon to allow for gravity flow.
Ÿ
Do not append anything that might restrain hose diameter
Ÿ
Do not connect the hose directly to the building sewer system
Ÿ
Make a loose, i.e., not sealed connection. Even though the oven has its own siphon, a sealed
connection with the drainage system may cause air inflow from the drain to the inside of the oven.
The hose may be simply put over the kitchen floor water grill, if available.
Ÿ
The temperature of the water coming from the drain hose may reach 160°F (70 °C).
Draft Hood
Considered the convenience of installing a hood over the equipment to trap heat, steam and grease.
In this case the hood should be 16" (40 cm) above the oven top and approximately 12" (30cm) ahead
the door to catch the steam and hot air escaped when opening door.
