TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When the gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the steamer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When the gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the steamer should be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

FLUE GAS EXHAUST

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the steamer.

It is recommended that the flue gases be vented to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, NFPA-96 (latest edition) available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
