    The PS-3E and PS-6E steamers are single compartment electric pressureless steam cookers with an internal electric steam generator that maintains standby water temperature at approximately 205 F. PS-3E is rated 10 kW. PS-6E is rated 15 kW. At high altitude locations a lower temperature is required to achieve atmospheric steaming.
  • Page 6 2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) LEVELLING Using a spirit level or pan of water in the bottom of the steamer, adjust the levelling feet or the feet on the adjustable legs to level the steamer front-to-back and side-to-side.

  • Page 7 2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) FIGURE 1 WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing. Make electrical connection through the 1-1/8" (29 mm) diameter hole provided using 3/4" (19 mm) trade size conduit. Refer to the wiring diagram located inside the right side panel. Use 90 C minimum insulated wire.
  • Page 8 2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) The water supply inlets are provided with 3/8" (10 mm) compression fittings for 3/8" O.D. copper tubing.
