INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ideally an exhaust system should be located directly above the appliance to exhaust steam and heat generated by the appliance.
Set the unit in place and level using a spirit level.
Ascertain that a floor drain (open gap) is convenient to the appliance drain.
Mark hole locations on floor through anchoring holes provided in flanged adjustable feet.
Remove appliance and drill holes in locations marked on floor and insert proper anchoring devices.
Set unit back in position and re-level left to right and front to back. NOTE: If unit has factory mounted upper cooking section then appliance should be elevated on the right 1/16" to 1/8" to assure proper compartment drainage.
Bolt and anchor appliance securely to the floor. Seal bolts and flanged feet with Silastic or equivalent compound.
Make service connections as indicated.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION
Turn on water and power supply to appliance. 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 14.5 PSI the elements will de-energize and cycle on and off between 12-14.5 PSI. The boiler is now ready for steam generation.
Shut Down
Turn off power switch, open manual drain valve, if unit is equipped with automatic blowdown valve, it will open and drain the boiler.
