WATER SPECIFICATION:

To meet warranty requirements,

supply water must meet the following specification:

Pressure:

30 to 60 psi

Total

Dissolved Solids (TDS): 60 PPM

Hardness:

2 Grains or 35 PPM

pH Factor:

7.0 to 7.5

DRAIN LINE:

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 funnel” as short as possible. There should

be no horizontal piping between the unit and the air gap above the “open funnel.” The “open funnel” is intended to elimi-

nate any water from entering the steamer because of a blocked drain and it also prevents any back pressure within the

steamer cavity. The unit must be free-venting to the atmosphere. Any connection that allows the build-up of back pres-

sure in the unit such as a reduction in pipe size to a line smaller than 1” or a 90 degree angle in the line prior to the

“open funnel” drain discharge point may cause personal or property damage and therefore will void the warranty. This is

a pressureless, free-venting steam cooker and will not operate properly unless the drain line is short, at a steep angle,

and open! See figure 3.

A WARNING

BURN HAZARD

It is imperative that the drain connection be installed per instructions and kept clean (open) to assure

free venting to atmosphere. A clogged drain will cause pressure to build up inside the steamer cavity

and can endanger the operator when opening the door. It will also cause excessive leakage of

steam from the door.

NOTICE

Floor drain must be located outside the confines of the equipment base or damage to equipment may

occur.

Do not locate unit adjacent to any high heat or grease producing piece of equipment, such as a range top, griddle,

fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior temperature of the steam body above 130°F (54°C).

DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.
