GENERAL

Model VSC2 and VSC3 Steamers have two or three pressurized steaming compartments for cooking
vegetables, fish, eggs and other foods.

The heat exchanger in the cabinet base requires approximately 200 lb per hour of steam at 30 to 50 psi.
(Refer to Steam Connection.)

Accessory 12" x 20" stainless steel pans are available, solid or perforated, in 2.5", 4" and 6" depths.
Each compartment has a 0 to 60 minute timer. (The buzzer requires manual shutoff.) Doors cannot be

opened during pressurized cooking.

An optional steam take-off connection (

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the steamer is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

LOCATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical supply agrees with the specifications on the data plate.
Position the steamer in its final location. Check that there are sufficient clearances to service the

controls, for door swings, etc., so there will be no problem in making the required supply and drain
connections.

Allow enough space between any other piece of equipment or a wall for service access. Service for
the controls for the upper steamer compartments requires access to the upper left side panel. Service
on the cabinet base may require access to the left and/or right side panels.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

In the United States, the steamer must be installed in accordance with:

1. State and local codes.

2. National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

3. NFPA Standard # 96
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

LEVELING

Using a spirit level or pan of water, level the appliance; then elevate the right side about 1/8" (3 mm)
to assure proper compartment drainage. After installation, bolt and anchor the appliance securely to the
floor. Seal bolts and rear flanged feet with an NSF approved sealer (Silastic or equivalent).

EXHAUST HOOD

An exhaust system should be located directly above the steamer to exhaust steam and heat generated
by the steamer.
