SECTION 2. INSTALLATION

2.1 ASSEMBLY

The Pressureless Cooker is factory-mounted on
a cabinet base containing either a steam boiler or
direct steam connection controls for the cooker.
The assembled unit is shipped bolted to a skid,
with cabinet feet in a separate container. Steps
required for assembly are as follows:
1. Remove the four bolts that fasten the equip-
ment frame to the skid.
2. Install feet in threaded mounting locations of
the cabinet frame.
3. Mount the two baffles on studs located on the
rightinside of the cooking compartments.
4. Mount the four pan support racks in brack-
ets inside control compartments.
5. Attach panels to lower cabinet. Detailed in-
structions are enclosed with the panels.
6. Attach the drip trough on studs located on
the face of the unit.

2.2 SETTING IN PLACE

The location of installation must be under an ex-
haust hood, which will remove small amounts of
water vapor emitted when the cooker doors are
opened, and exhaust fumes from the air. Level the
unit in final location by turning the adjustable feet.
Using the cabinet top as a reference, obtain level
adjustment left-to-right and front-to-back.

2.3 MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS

Since the Pressureless Cooker is interconnected
at the factory to the steam boiler or direct steam
plumbing, 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 bot-
tom edge of the cabinet frame. Connection loca-
tions for the cooker mounted on steam boilers of
electric, gas, and steam coil utility and direct-con-
nected steam are shown in separate installation
instructions for each.

2.4 WATER CONNECTIONS

Before connecting water to this unit, have water
supply 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 standards should be treated by the in-
stallation of a water conditioner.
EQUIPMENT FAILURE CAUSED BY
INADEQUATE WATER QUALITY IS NOT
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
PVC or CPVC are not acceptable materials
for drains.

2.5 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
installation instructions for each. Procedures for
the cooker only are included in Subsection 2.4.2.
If the cooker fails to perform as described, con-
sult Table 5-1 of the Trouble-Shooting Guide for
corrective action. If difficulty arises with the boiler,
reference the separate service and parts manual
for that equipment.
Before making this check-out, the operator must
be thoroughly familiar with the operating proce-
dures in Section 3 and with the function of each
control described in Table 3-1. Reference Figure
3-1 for identification of controls required in the fol-
lowing procedures.

2.5.1 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.
1. All steam boiler controls are in the operat-
ing mode and 15 PSI steam is applied to the
cooker inlet plumbing.
2. Cooker timers for both compartments (Fig-
ure 3-1) are in the OFF position.
3. Cooker compartments are empty of all infor-
mation materials, pan supports are mounted
in place, and doors are open.
