2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ideally an exhaust system should be located directly above the appliance to exhaust steam
and heat generated by the appliance.
1. Set the unit in place and level using a spirit level.
2. Ascertain that a floor drain (open gap) is convenient to the appliance drain.
3. Mark hole locations on floor through anchoring holes provided in flanged adjustable feet.
4. Remove appliance and drill holes in locations marked on floor and insert proper
anchoring devices.
5. Set unit back in position and re-level left to right and front to back.
6. Bolt and anchor appliance securely to the floor.
7. Seal bolts and flanged feet with Silastic or equivalent compound.
8. Make service connections as indicated.
WARNING: Electrical and grounding connections must comply with
applicable portions of the National Electrical Code and/or other local
electrical codes.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag on
the disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on the circuit.
Use copper wire suitable for at least 200 degrees Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius). The
steamer must be grounded. The wiring diagram is located on the inside right hand panel as
you face the steamer.

3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BOILER SECTION
Electrically powered steam generators are available with standard boiler controls or ASME
CSD-1 compliant controls. In addition to the ON/OFF power switch and indicator pilot light
on the standard controls, the CSD-1 controls come with four more indicator pilot lights and a
“Reset” switch. Follow the appropriate instructions for each.
Start-up Procedure, Standard Controls
1. Turn on water and power supply to appliance.
2. Close the manual blowdown valve if the units is not equipped with the optional automatic
blowdown valve.
3. Open door of cabinet and turn on Power Switch. Pilot light will come ON and water will
begin to enter boiler. Once water level has reached the proper operating level as
indicated on water gauge glass the heating elements will be energized and heat the
water. When steam pressure has reached 11 psi the elements will de-energize and
cycle on and off between 9 - 11 psi. The boiler is now ready for steam generation.
Start-up Procedure, CSD-1 Controls
1. Turn on water and power supply to appliance.
2. Close the manual blowdown valve if the units is not equipped with the optional automatic
blowdown valve.
3. Open cabinet door and turn "ON" power switch. The green pilot light will come "ON.”
Water will begin to enter the boiler. When enough water has entered the boiler the (red)
“Low Water” pilot will come on for approximately 10 seconds and then the (amber) pilot
light will come.
4. Press the “Reset” switch to begin boiler operation. The “Standby” pilot light will go off
and the boiler will begin operation. When steam pressure has reached 11 psi the
elements will de-energize and cycle on and off between 9 - 11 psi. The boiler is now
ready for steam generation.
