VENTING

Some local codes may require the steamer to be located
under an exhaust hood. Information on the construction
and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from
Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, NFPA standard
No. 96 (latest edition).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING
Disconnect electrical power supply and place
a tag at the disconnect switch to indicate that
you are working on the circuit.
Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with
local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the Na-
tional Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22-2, as applicable.
Use copper wire suitable for at least 90 degrees Celsius.
The steamer must be grounded. The wiring diagram is
located on the right side panel as you face the steamer.

TESTING PROCEDURES

CAUTION
Live steam and accumulated hot water in the
compartment may be released when the door
is opened.
Once the steamer is installed and all mechanical connec-
tions have been made, thoroughly test the steamer before
operation.
1. Check that proper water, drain and electrical connec-
tions have been made.
2. Turn main power switch ON. After approximately 5
minutes, the READY light should come on, indicating
that the water temperature is 205 degrees Fahren-
heit.
3. When the READY light comes on, set timer to the
"5 minute" position. With door open, observe that
no steam is entering the compartment and that the
COOKING light is OFF.
4. Close compartment door. The COOKING light should
now be illuminated and steam should be heard enter-
ing the compartment after about 45 seconds.
5. Check drain line to ensure that water from cold water
condenser is flowing through the drain line.
6. Open compartment door and observe that steam sup-
ply to chamber is cut off. (READY light should again
come on as COOKING light goes off.)
7. Close compartment door and let cooking cycle finish.
When the timer returns to "0" position, a buzzer will
sound signalling the end of the cooking cycle. Buzzer
must be manually turned off by setting the timer to its
OFF position.
8. To shut down steamer, turn main power switch OFF
and leave compartment door slightly open.
