Leveling ALL Steamers & Steam Generators

LEVELING — ALL STEAMERS & STEAM GENERATORS

Position the steamer or steam generator in its final installed location. Place a level on the horizontal area of the cabinet. Adjust the feet to level the steamer or steam generator in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions.

On VHX steamers only, elevate the front 1/16" to 1/8" (0.2 cm to 0.3 cm) to give proper drainage by rotating the adjusting nut on the rear legs in the proper direction 1 to 11/2 turns. Check drainage in the steamer compartments by pouring a little water in the compartment. All the water should drain. On VHL steamers only, elevate the right side legs 1/16" to 1/8" (0.2 cm to 0.3 cm) to give proper drainage.

The rear feet have holes in the flanges for anchor bolts. Direct steam models (steamers without generators) must be anchored to the floor.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS — ALL STEAMERS & STEAM GENERATORS

WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY AND PLUMBING CODES.

Water Requirements

Proper water quality can improve the taste of the food prepared in the steamer, reduce liming in the steam generator and extend equipment life. Local water conditions vary from one location to another. Ask your municipal water supplier for details about your local water supply prior to installation.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

Supply Pressure	20 — 60 psig
Hardness*	less than 3 grains
Silica	less than 13 ppm
Total Chlorine	less than 4.0 ppm
pH range	7 — 8
Undissolved Solids	less than 5 microns

*17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness

Presence of sediment, silica, excess chlorides or other dissolved solids may lead to a recommendation for alternate form(s) of water treatment. Test the water with the test strip included with the steamer. Other factors affecting steam generation are iron content, amount of chloridation and dissolved gases. A local water treatment specialist should be consulted before installation of steam generating equipment.

Water Supply Connection

Connect the treated water supply line to the 1/2" NPT (1.3 cm) inlet at the rear of the steamer. Connect the untreated water supply line to the 1/4" (0.6 cm) copper tube inlet, also at the rear of the steamer.

A water filter system is recommended for the water supply line going to the treated water inlet of your steamer. Follow the recommendations for use and installation instructions shipped with the water filter. If a water filter is not installed, the steamer or steam generator warranty may be limited.

Drain Connection

The 11/4" NPT (3.175 cm) threaded fitting on the condenser box must be extended a maximum of 12" (30.5 cm) to an open air gap type drain. Do not reduce the 11/4" (3.175 cm) drain piping throughout its length. Provide a suitable floor sink with a minimum depth of 12" (30.5 cm). The floor sink is NOT to be directly under the steamer and should be at a distance so that steam vapors will not enter the steamer from underneath. The drain pipe should be either iron or copper. DO NOT use PVC pipe; PVC pipe may lose its rigidity or glue may fail.

CAUTION: In order to avoid any back pressure in the steamer, do not connect solidly to any drain connection.
