NSF FOOD SERVICE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All PLATINUM
®
water heater models are listed to NSF 5-2000e.
This section provides additional information for architects, designers, and contractors in food service installations
requiring compliance with NSF codes. NSF/ANSI 5 - 2000e establishes health and sanitation requirements for
the materials, design and construction of commercial water heaters. All Platinum
®
water heaters are certified for
compliance with NSF-5 and ANSI Z21.10.3 by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and are therefore recognized as
suitable for installation and use in commercial food service appllications when installed and used according to
these instructions.
WARNING:
Do not use a pressurized water source to clean this water heater. If the food service
installation requires pressurized washing, the water heater must be isolated from water spray. Failure to
isolate the heater from pressurized water may cause a hazardous condition resulting in property damage
or high voltage electrical shock, causing personal injury or death.
Platinum
®
water heaters must be purchased with the “SANI” option where water temperatures exceeding 165ºF
are required. All warranties, expressed or implied, may be voided if a Platinum
®
water heater without the factory
installed “SANI” option is operated at temperatures exceeding 165ºF
.
Refer to the “Temperature Setting” section
of this manual for instructions to adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature.
NSF Installation -
The NSF 5 listed Platinum
®
water heater requires no modification to become NSF 5
compliant, is designed to supply potable hot water and is not intended or suitable for other purposes. Where
feasible, the water heater should be located seperate from food and utensil handling areas. When this is not
possible in a food service installation, the water heater must be sealed to the floor to prevent water from
accumulating underneath. The floor must be clean, smooth and level for adequate sealing. Seal the water heater
to the floor using an NSF listed RTV sealant (such as Red Devil 0826, Saf-T-Lok 732 or RTV 102). Follow the
manufacturers instructions to lay a bead of sealant between the edge of the heater base and the floor. Use the
figure below to located and install ½” diameter black plastic plug caps (supplied in the bag that also contains the
Instruction manual) to close the four holes in the base.
NSF Service and Maintenance -
NSF 5 for food service installations require the appliance and its installation to
prevent harborage of vermin. T tight construction of the properly installed and assembled heater enclosure does
not provide a haven for pests. The jacket and all fastners must be replaced whenever removed for service.
Before replacing and fastening the jacket, inspect and replace any damaged weather striping. This weather
stripping closes gaps between the jacket and steel frame.
