DEATH, INJURY, EQUIPMENT and PROPERTY DAMAGE will result from improper installation of
drain outlet lines. Install free air vented drain lines as described in this manual.
Do not connect the MINI Combi/Oven-Steamer drain connection to any drain material that cannot
sustain 140
o
Fahrenheit. Using drain material that cannot withstand 140
o
Fahrenheit can result in
injury, equipment damage, and property damage.
2.4.6
Install Free Air Vented Drain Lines from the MINI to the Existing Floor Drain
NOTE: This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
Notice:
Furnishing and installing drain lines is the responsibility of the Owner/Installer.
Notice:
If additional drain is required (maximum length 12 feet), use at least 1 1/2” ID piping of an appropriate
schedule and of a material suitable for sustained operation at 140°F.
Notice:
Joining clamps may be used to connect same size or larger size drain to the existing drain.
The following restrictions and requirements are critical to the safety of personnel and equipment, and
must not be violated under any circumstances:
1.
Do
NOT
connect the MINI drain connection to any drain material that cannot sustain 140° F.
2.
Do
NOT
connect drains from any other equipment to the drain line of the MINI.
3.
Do
NOT
connect the drain outlet extension line directly into a floor drain or a sewer line.
4.
Do
NOT
connect the MINI drain directly to drains or to the plumbing of any other equipment.
5.
The drain line must be free air vented, have gravity flow from the MINI, and terminate outside the
perimeter of the MINI.
6.
Improper installation of drain outlet lines voids the MINI warranty.
7.
The drain lines must be installed in compliance with the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) and any other applicable national, state, or local codes and regulations.
8.
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
9.
Do
NOT
install the MINI directly over a drain. Steam rising up out of the drain will adversely affect operation,
hamper cooling air circulation, and damage electrical and electronic components.
10.
The total length of drain and number of bend fittings required to reach the open drain determines the
drain size used to extend the drain line to an open drain.
If the drain outlet extension requires 6 feet or less of drain,
and no more than two elbows are required, 1 1/2-inch ID
drain and fittings are acceptable.
If the drain outlet extension requires 6 to 12 feet of drain, or
requires three elbows, then 2-inch ID drain and fittings are
required.
The drain line must have gravity flow from the MINI drain
outlet to floor drain.
Do
NOT
install a trap in the drain line.
11.
Free air venting requires minimum 1” clearance between the end
of the drain line and the top of the floor drain.
