LOCATION - GAS STEAMERS

The equipment area must be kept free and clear
of combustible substances.
The recommended clearance for proper
operation is 36" (914 mm) at the front. The
required clearance from combustible or
noncombustible construction is 0" at the sides
and back. The recommended clearance for
service access is 18" (457 mm) at the sides and
6" (152 mm) from the back.
Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in
the room to replace air taken out by the ventilating
system. If you have any questions, contact the
ventilation system installer.
An exhaust system should be located directly
above the steamer to exhaust steam, flue
exhaust and heat generated by the steamer.
Do not locate the steamer directly over a drain.

LEVELING AND ANCHORING

Position the steamer in its final installed location.
Place a level on the horizontal area of the cabinet.
Adjust the feet to level the steamer in both the
left-to-right and front-to-rear directions.
Steamers should be elevated in the front

provide proper draining. Do this by rotating the
adjustable feet in the proper direction 1 to 1
turns after leveling. Check drainage in the
steamer compartments by pouring a small
amount of water in the compartment. All the
water should drain.
The feet have holes in the flanges for anchor
bolts.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

Plumbing connections must
comply with applicable sanitary, safety
and plumbing codes.

Local water conditions vary from one location
to another. Ask your municipal water supplier
for details about your local water supply prior
to installation. Presence of sediment, silica,
excess chlorides or other dissolved solids may
lead to a recommendation for alternate form(s)
of water treatment. Test the water with the test
strip included with the steamer. Other factors
affecting steam generation are iron content,
amount of chloridation and dissolved gases.

Water Treatment

A local water treatment specialist should be
consulted before installation of steam generating
equipment.

Water Supply Connection

Connect the treated cold water supply line to
the 3/4" (19 mm) (male hose thread) inlet.
Connect the untreated cold water supply line
