ELECTRIC HEATED CONVECTION STEAMER
ON CABINET BASE WITH 24 QT. TILTING KETTLE

WATER QUALITY STATEMENT:

The fact that a water supply is potable is no guarantee that it is suitable
for steam generation. Your water supply must be within these general
guidelines:

SUPPLY PRESSURE 20 - 60 psig
HARDNESS* less than 3 grains
SILICA less than 13 ppm
TOTAL CHLORIDE less than 4.0 ppm
pH RANGE 7-8
UN-DISSOLVED SOLIDS less than 5 microns

* 17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness

Other factors affecting steam generation are iron content, amount of
chloridation and dissolved gases. Water supplies vary from state to state
and from locations within a state. Therefore it is necessary that the local
water treatment specialist be consulted before the installation of any
steam generating equipment.

SERVICE CONNECTIONS:

Electric Connection: Junction box for electrical connection

for boiler heat.

Electric Connection for Controls: 120/60/1, 300 watt maxi­mum, power supply with grounding wire required. (For other
than 120 volt supply, consult factory for location of this
connection.

Drain: Condenser box, compartment and boiler 1
(Provide an open air gap type drain within 12" of condenser box
and for best results at a distance so that steam vapors will not
enter the steamer from underneath the control area. Do not
connect solidly to any drain connection.)

Cold Water Connection: 3/8" NPT for boiler feed. Inlet water
pressure between 20 and 80 psi.

Cold Water Connection: 3/8" NPT for condensate box. Inlet
water pressure between 20 and 80 psi.

Water: For swing faucet, (single) (dual) temperature
tailpiece.

Steam Take-Off Connection:3/4" NPT.

NOTE:

• Dimensions which locate the above connections have a tolerance of
+ or -3" (+ or -75 mm).

• Installation of backflow preventers, vacuum breakers and other spe­cific code requirements is the responsibility of the owner and installer.
It is the responsibility of the owner and installer to comply with local
codes.

• Plastic drains are not recommended due to inherent limited tempera­tures of the plastic. Boiler purge temperatures may exceed 180°F. The
installer may be required to provide means to reduce boiler purge
water temperature to be that of the condensate temperature of 140°F
or less.

• This appliance is manufactured for commercial installation only and is
not intended for home use.
