LOCATION AND PLACEMENT
All Sterling Steamers are designed to be placed directly on a countertop or on a Sterling Manufacturing Steamer
Stand in either a single or double Steamer configuration. The installation location must provide for adequate
clearances for proper operation and servicing.
• Installation must comply with all local fire and health codes.
• The location selected must be capable of supporting this appliance (the operating weight of a SPG6 is
275lbs).
• Position this appliance so it will not tip or slide.
• The operating surface must be level enough to allow leveling of this appliance with its adjustable legs.
This appliance MUST be level both front to back and side to side before operation.
• The location must include space for Operating and Service/Secondary Clearances and the Exhaust
Hood.
• KEEP THE AREA FREE AND CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLES.
• Proper air supply for ventilation and combustion is REQUIRED for and CRITICAL to safe, efficient
operation of a SPG6. Do NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Make sure the vents on the Steamer are not blocked by anything.
• Allow for sufficient clearance if a “high heat source”, (e.g. a fryer) is located next to the Steamer. Please
contact Sterling Mfg., LLC at 800-426-4211 for recommendations.
High humidity air is vented from the exhaust at rear of unit. Condensation may occur on nearby surfaces.
COUNTERTOP INSTALLATION
The Steamer is shipped with four bullet feet with a 1-1/2” (3.8 cm) height adjustment. Each foot has an adhesive
backed non-slip pad attached to the bottom, which will keep the Steamer from sliding on the countertop under
normal use. Adjust the four feet as needed to level the Steamer in both front-to-back and side-to-side directions.
ON A STAND WITH ADJUSTABLE FEET
When installing the Steamer(s) onto a Steamer Stand with adjustable feet, follow the directions provided with
the Stand to ensure proper installation of the support brackets prior to mounting the Steamer(s). When proper
installation of the support brackets is verified, bolt the Steamer(s) to the support brackets on the Stand using
hardware provided with the Stand. Level the Steamer(s) front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting the four feet
on the Stand.
