INSTALLATION
Installation
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the steamer, check for pos-
sible shipping damage. If the steamer is found to be dam-
aged after unpacking, save the packaging materials and
contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery. File a claim
regardless of extent of damage.
We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss in-
curred in transit.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees
with the specifications on the machine data plate which is
located on the left side panel.
LOCATING
Allow space for vent and electrical connection. Minimum
clearances for proper air circulation is 2” on the sides and
6” on the back. Allow adequate access for servicing.
LEVELLING
Using a spirit level, adjust the feet to level the unit, front
to back and side to side. The unit must be level for proper
operation. Warranty will be void for improper installation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
The unit must be electrically grounded and
comply with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes with the national electrical code
ANSI/NFPA to latest edition. Canadian instal-
lation must comply with CSA Standard (C22.2
No. 109-M1981 General Requirements Cana-
dian Electrical Code, Part II 109-M1981) for
commercial cooking appliances.
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power supply and place
a tag at the disconnect switch to indicate that
you are working on circuit.
Use copper wire suitable for at least 90°C. The
steamer must be grounded. The wiring dia-
gram is located on the right side panel as you
face the unit.
Make electrical connection through the 1-1/8” (
29mm
) di-
ameter hole provided using 3/4” (
19mm
) trade size con-
duit. Refer to the wiring diagram located inside the right
side panel. Use 90°C minimum insulated wire.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
No plumbing connections are required as steamer is filled
manually.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
No drain connection is required.
WATER CONDITION
For best results it is recommended that the water supply
meet the following specification:
Hardness:
Less than 2 grains or
35 ppm.
Total Dissolved Solids (
TDS
): Less than 60 ppm.
PH Factor:
7.0 to 7.5
This degree of hardness can easily be obtained with the
use of a properly maintained water softener.
VENT HOOD
Some local codes may require the steamer to be locat-
ed under an exhaust hood. It is recommended that this
steamer be located under an exhaust hood to remove ex-
cess steam during cooking operations.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilat-
ing hood may be obtained from the standard for “Vapor
Removal for Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No. 96 (Latest
Edition).
WARNING
For an appliance equipped with casters, the
installation shall be made with an adequate
flexible electrical conduit; adequate means
must be provided to limit the movement of the
appliance without depending on or transmit-
ting stress to the electrical conduit; the loca-
tion where restraining means may be attached
is to the rear of the stand, below power supply
connection.
