Install The Free Air Vented Drain Line - Cleveland SteamChef 22CGT3.1 Operation Installation Maintenance Manual

H. Install the Free Air Vented Drain Line
NOTICE: Furnishing and installing drain lines and drainpipe is the responsibility of the Owner/Installer.
NOTICE: Improper installation of drain outlet lines voids the SteamChef Warranty.
The following restrictions and requirements are critical to the safety of personnel and equipment,
and must not be violated under any circumstances:
1. The drain lines must be installed in compliance with the Food Code (latest edition) of the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), and any other applicable national, state, or local codes and regulations.
2. The drain line must be free air vented, have gravity flow from the SteamChef, and terminate outside
the perimeter of the SteamChef.
3. Free air venting requires a minimum 1" clearance between the end of the drain line and the top of
the floor drain. See Figure 3-7.
4. Do NOT install the SteamChef directly over a drain. Steam rising up out of the drain will adversely
affect operation, hamper cooling air circulation, and damage electrical and electronic components.
5. Do NOT connect the SteamChef drain connection to any drain material that cannot sustain 140° F.
6. Do NOT connect drains from any other equipment to the drain line of the SteamChef.
7. Do NOT connect the drain outlet extension line directly into a floor drain or a sewer line.
8. Do NOT connect the SteamChef drain directly to drains or to the plumbing of any other equipment.
9. Do NOT install a trap or shutoff in the drain line.
10. The total length of pipe and number of bend fittings required to reach the open drain determines the
pipe size used to extend the drain line to an open drain.
• Do NOT make a drain outlet extension more than 12 feet long.
• If the drain outlet extension requires 6 feet or less of pipe, and no more than two elbows are
required, 1 ½-inch pipe and fittings are acceptable.
If the drain outlet extension requires 6 to 12 feet of pipe, or requires three elbows, then 2-inch
•
pipe and fittings are required.
11. Refer to Figure 3-5: Connect the drain.
DEATH, INJURY, EQUIPMENT and PROPERTY DAMAGE
will result from improper installation of drain outlet lines.
