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.
