phase. Remove right side panel and re-arrange element lead wires 2 and 3 as shown on sticker inside panel. (Refer to 
Figure 2.) 

 

WATER CONNECTION:

 

Connect cold water line, 1/4" (6mm) NPT into female side of strainer located at right hand lower side of unit as you face 
the back of the steamer. Water line pressure should be 30 psi (205 kpa) minimum to 60 psi (410 kpa) maximum. 

NOTE:

 To facilitate cleaning, plus allow access to rear of unit, flexible connections are recommended. 

WATER SPECIFICATION:

 

To meet warranty requirements supply water must meet the following specification: 

Pressure:                                     30 to 60 psi  
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS):   60 PPM

The drain line connection size from the unit is 1" NPT (32 mm). Position the unit near, but not on top of, an open floor 
drain. DO NOT directly plumb to the unit unless you also install an "open funnel" downstream of this connection in the 
drain system. Make the drain line from the unit to the air gap above the "open runnel" as short as possible. There should 
be no horizontal piping between the unit and the air gap above the "open runnel." The "open funnel" is intended to 
eliminate any water from entering
