In the United States, the steamer must be installed in accordance with:
1. State and local codes.
2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition), available from the American Gas Association,
1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209.

In Canada, the steamer must be installed in accordance with:
1. Local codes.
2. Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1 (latest edition).
LOCATION
Before installing, verify that the gas (natural or propane) and the electrical supply agree with the
specifications on the data plate.
The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air. Minimum clearances from noncombustible and combustible construction
are 8 inches (20 cm) on the right side, 3 inches (8 cm) on the left side, and 6 inches (15 cm) at the rear
for proper air circulation. The steamer should be installed on a noncombustible floor. Provide adequate
clearances for cleaning, maintenance, service and proper operation.
Sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any
ventilating system and for combustion of the gas burners. Do not obstruct the air flow into and around
the appliance. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located at the rear and above
the steamer. Position the steamer in its final location. Check that there are sufficient clearances to
service the controls, for door(s) to swing and to allow 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 steamer compartments requires access to the upper right side panel.
LEGS (Countertop Steamer—Model VSX5G only)
Install 4" legs by threading the stud into the holes provided underneath at four corners.
