SAFETY WARNINGS

DANGER:

1) Only personnel qualified to work with electricity should install this unit. Improper installation can cause personal injury or damage to the equipment.

2) This appliance must be properly grounded. Failure to properly ground the appliance could result in electrocution and/or death.

1) When using a stand that is equipped with casters, the floor surface must be level and

flat. Sloped and/or rough floors can result in a “tipping“ situation and could result in

serious injury. Direct contact with steam can result in a severe burn.

2) When accessing the cooking chamber, be sure to always stand back while slowly opening the door to allow the chamber to vent off steam. Never look or reach into the cooking chamber before it has completely vented off steam.

3) Never reach into the cooking chamber or handle hot items without wearing proper hot gloves. Steam coming out of the holes on the right side of the steamer is invisible and can cause severe burns.

4) Never use wet or damp gloves, as moisture can conduct heat quickly.

1) Be sure all operators read, understand and follow the information contained in this manual, including caution warnings, operating instructions, and safety instructions.

2) Please use caution when emptying the drip pan. The pan’s contents could cause severe burns.

3) Keep the floor in front of the equipment clean and dry. If spills occur, clean immediately to avoid potential injuries.

4) Do not use pressurized water to clean steamer.

5) Use of any replacement parts other than those supplied by AccuTemp Products, Inc. can cause bodily injury to the operator, damage to the equipment and will void all warranties.

6) This appliance is extremely heavy. For safe handling, the installer should obtain help as needed or employ appropriate material handling equipment to remove unit from it’s packaging and move it into its final location.

INSTALLATION

BUILDING CODES and STANDARDS

The steamer must be installed in accordance with the following building codes: International Plumbing Code 2003, ICC or Uniform Plumbing Code 2003, IAMPO. USA: National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA-70, state and local codes. Canada: Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.2 and local codes.

UNPACKING This steamer was inspected before shipment from the factory. The shipping company

accepts full responsibility for safe delivery. Immediately after unpacking, check the steamer for possible shipping damage. If damage is identified save the packaging material and contact the shipping carrier immediately.

LOCATION AND PLACEMENT

To insure maximum benefit of your warranty; location, placement and leveling are critical. The AccuTemp Evolution steamer is designed for installation on either a commercial kitchen countertop or an AccuTemp steamer stand. Your Evolution steamer is equipped with vents to allow the proper ventilation of air through the electrical compartments. On E6 models, the vents are located on the bottom and rear panels. To ensure these vents work properly, a minimum 4-inch (102 mm) clearance from these vents must be allocated. It is also recommended that the Evolution not be placed under other wet equipment or locations.

Steam Escapes from the rear of the steamer. Condensation my occur on nearby surfaces.

LEVELING

The steamer must be installed in a level condition. An out-of-level condition may cause improper operation and possible damage. Damage caused by improper leveling is not covered by warranty. Use a spirit level, resting on the top steamer cabinet surface, to ensure it is level front-to-back and left-to-right.

COUNTER TOP INSTALLATION

Set the steamer on a hard level surface that can support the weight of the steamer. Install the four rubber feet tips provided with your steamer onto the foot adjuster of each of the steamer legs as shown in Fig 1. This will keep the steamer from sliding on the counter-top under normal use. Once the rubber foot tips have been installed, rotate the foot adjusters up or down as needed to level the steamer.

INSTALLATION

SINGLE STEAMER STAND INSTALLATION

The AccuTemp SNH10 single stand is equipped with adjustable height feet and the model SNH11 single stand is equipped with non-adjustable height casters. Both can be used with a single E6 model Evolution steamer. Before mounting a steamer on the SNH11 stand, engage

the two front locking casters, pressing on the “ON” handle of the brake mechanism. To

mount the steamer, carefully lift and place it on the horizontal mounting brackets ensuring that the (4) mounting holes on the underside of the Evolution are lined up with mounting holes of the brackets. Then, using a 7/16” wrench, fasten one pair of the 1/4” -20 hex bolt and 1/4” split lock washer through the underside of each stand bracket mounting hole into the Evolution and tighten securely. With the SNH10 stand, level the steamer by adjusting the feet found at the ends of each stand leg, either up or down as needed.

WARNING When using a stand that is equipped with casters, the floor surface must be level

and flat. Failure to do so can result in a “tipping” hazard that could result in

serious injury.

DOUBLE STEAMER STAND INSTALLATION

The AccuTemp SNH20 double stand is equipped with adjustable height feet and the AccuTemp SNH21 double stand is equipped with non-adjustable height casters. Both stands can accommodate two E6 model Evolutions. Before mounting a steamer on the

SNH21 stand, engage the brakes on the two front locking casters, pressing on the “ON”

handle of the brake mechanism. Always mount the first EVOLUTION on the bottom of the stand. To mount the bottom steamer, carefully lift and place it on the horizontal mounting brackets, ensuring that the (4) mounting holes on the underside of the Evolution are lined

up with the mounting holes on the brackets. Then, using a 7/16” wrench, fasten one pair

of the 1/4"-20 hex bolts and 1/4" split lock washers through the underside of each stand bracket mounting hole into the Evolution and tighten securely. Once the bottom steamer has been installed, carefully lift and place the top Evolution steamer on the horizontal mounting brackets, ensuring that the (4) mounting holes on the underside of the Evolution

are lined up with the mounting holes on the brackets. Then, using a 7/16” wrench, fasten

one pair of the 1/4"-20 hex bolts and 1/4" split lock washers through the underside of each stand bracket mounting hole and tighten securely. With the SNH20 stand, level the steamers by adjusting the feet found at the ends of each stand leg, either up or down as

needed.
