NOTICE

Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association, Inc., states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.

The steamer, when installed, must be electrically grounded and comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition.

Canadian installations must comply with CSA-Standard (C22.2 No. 109-M1981 General Requirements-Canadian Electrical Code, Part II. 109-M1981) Commercial Cooking Appliances.

Southbend reserves the right to change specifications and product design without notice. Such revisions do not entitle the buyer to corresponding changes, additions, or replacements for previously purchased equipment.

This product is intended for commercial use only, not for household use.
