INSTALLATION
2
ASSEMBLY:
The Pressureless Cooker is factory-mounted on a
cabinet base containing either a steam boiler or di-
rect steam connection controls for the cooker. The
assembled unit is shipped bolted to a skid, with cabi-
net feet in a separate container. Steps required for
assembly are as follows:
Remove the four bolts that fasten the equipment
frame to the skid.
Install feet in threaded mounting locations of the
cabinet frame.
Mount the two baffles on studs located on the right-
inside of the cooking compartments.
Mount the four pan support racks in brackets inside
control compartments.
Attach panels to lower cabinet. Detailed instruc-
tions are enclosed with the panels.
Attach the drip trough on studs located on the face
of the unit.
SETTING IN PLACE:
The location of installation must be under an exhaust
hood, which will remove small amounts of water va-
por emitted when the cooker doors are opened, and
exhaust fumes from the air. Level the unit in final loca-
tion by turning the adjustable feet. Using the cabinet
top as a reference, obtain level adjustment left-to-
right and front-to-back.
MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS:
Since the Pressureless Cooker is interconnected at
the factory to the steam boiler or direct steam plumb-
ing, no field connections to the cooker are required.
All electrical and plumbing connections are routed to
the steam boiler cabinet through the 6 inch high space
between the floor and the bottom edge of the cabinet
frame. Connection locations for the cooker mounted
on steam boilers of electric, gas, and steam coil utility
and direct-connected steam are shown in separate
installation instructions for each.
WATER CONNECTIONS:
Before connecting water to this unit, have water sup-
ply analyzed to make sure that hardness is no grater
than 2.0 grains per gallon and pH level is within the
range of 7.0–8.5. Water that fails to meet these stan-
dards should be treated by the installation of a water
conditioner.

Equipment failure caused by inadequate water qual-
ity is not covered under warranty.
CAUTION:
PVC or CPVC are not acceptable materials for drains.
INSTALLATION CHECK-OUT:
Check-out procedures for the cooker mounted on
steam boilers of electric, gas, and steam coil utility or
direct-connected steam are given in separate installa-
tion instructions for each. If the cooker fails to perform
as described, consult the Trouble-Shooting Guide for
corrective action. If difficulty arises with the boiler, ref-
erence the separate service and parts manual for that
equipment.
Before making this check-out, the operator must be
thoroughly familiar with the operating procedures on
page 3 and with the function of each control described
in Table 1 on page 5. Reference Figure 1, also on
page 5 for identification of controls required in the fol-
lowing procedures.
INITIAL CONTROL SETTINGS:
Before beginning the start-up procedures for the
cooker, the instruction plate and service manual for
the steam boiler must be consulted and all start-up
procedures completed to supply 15 PSI steam to the
steam inlet line for the cooker.
All steam boiler controls are in the operating mode
and 15 PSI steam is applied to the cooker inlet
plumbing.
Cooker timers for both compartments (Figure 1,
page 5) are in the OFF position.
Cooker compartments are empty of all information
materials, pan supports are mounted in place, and
doors are open.
COOKER CHECK-OUT:
The cooker check-out procedures are as follows:
With the doors open set timers to about the “4 min-
ute” position. Observe that indicator lights are off
and steam does not enter compartments.
Close cooker compartment doors. Observe that
indicator lights turn on, and steam can be heard
rushing into the compartment simultaneously with
the door closing.
Observe the boiler drain line for passage of steam
into the open floor drain. Correct steam condenser
operation is evidenced by presence of water flow-
