REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS APPLIANCES

Keep the food steamer free and clear from all combustible substances. Do not obstruct combustion and ventilation openings on the steamer.

Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the food steamer. This air flow is necessary for proper combustion of gases and for ventilation of the food steamer. Provisions for ventilation and for incoming air supply for the equipment in the room must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).

Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the food steamer. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.

For steamers equipped with casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 (latest edition), and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 (latest edition). Provide a gas line strain relief to limit the movement of the steamer without depending on the connector and any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the steamer movement. Attach the strain relief to the rear of the steamer (Fig. 2).

If disconnection of the gas line strain relief is necessary, turn off gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect this strain relief before turning the gas supply on and returning the steamer to its originally installed position.

Place a level on the horizontal parts of the steamer. Adjust the feet at the base of the steamer to level the steamer in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions. After leveling, raise up the steamer on the right side about 1/16" to 1/8" (0.16 to 0.32cm) to drain the cooking compartments by rotating the adjustable flanged feet 1 to 11/2 turns clockwise. Check by pouring a little water in the compartment; all the water should drain.

The feet have holes in the flanges for anchor bolts.
