2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The MPS-E steamers are single compartment electric pressureless steam cookers with an
internal electric steam generator that maintains standby water temperature at approximately
o
205
F. MPS-3E is rated 7.5 kW. MPS-6E is rated 12 kW.
At high altitude locations a lower temperature is required to achieve atmospheric steaming.
Contact your authorized service office to have the thermostat adjusted if the steamer will be
operated at high altitudes.
UNPACKING
This steamer was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes
full responsibility for safe delivery. Immediately after unpacking the steamer, check for possible
damage. If the steamer is found to be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material
and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate which is located on the left side panel.
LOCATION
Allow space for plumbing and electrical connections. Minimum clearances are 0" on the sides
and 6" (152mm) on the back for proper air circulation. Allow adequate access for operating and
servicing the steamer, 36" (915mm) at the front of the steamer and 15" (381mm) above the
steamer.
LEVELLING
Using a spirit level or pan of water in the bottom of the steamer, adjust the leveling feet or the
feet on the adjustable legs to level the steamer front-to-back and side-to-side. After the drain is
connected, check for level by pouring water onto the floor of the compartment. All water should
drain through the opening at the back of the compartment cavity.
ANCHORING STEAMER
1.
Place steamer in the desired location on the leveled counter top and mark four
corners. Remove the steamer and drill 5/8" holes as indicated in Figure 1.
2.
Apply a bead of RTV or other equivalent sealant around bottom perimeter edge of
the steamer. If anchoring the steamer, this bottom seal is necessary to meet NSF
requirements.
3.
Set steamer on counter and bolt down securely with 1/2 - 13 bolts (not supplied).
STACKING KIT
Follow instructions in the stacking kit when installing stacked convection steamers.
