Installation

ASSEMBLY:

The Pressureless Cooker is factory-mounted on a cabinet base containing either a steam boiler or di- rect steam connection controls for the cooker. The assembled unit is shipped bolted to a skid, with cabi- net feet in a separate container. Steps required for assembly are as follows:

1.Remove the four bolts that fasten the equipment frame to the skid.

2.Install feet in threaded mounting locations of the cabinet frame.

3.Mount the two baffles on studs located on the right- inside of the cooking compartments.

4.Mount the four pan support racks in brackets inside control compartments.

5.Attach panels to lower cabinet. Detailed instruc- tions are enclosed with the panels.

6.Attach the drip trough on studs located on the face of the unit.

SETTING IN PLACE:

The location of installation must be under an exhaust hood, which will remove small amounts of water va- por emitted when the cooker doors are opened, and exhaust fumes from the air. Level the unit in final loca- tion by turning the adjustable feet. Using the cabinet top as a reference, obtain level adjustment left-to- right and front-to-back.

MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS:

Since the Pressureless Cooker is interconnected at the factory to the steam boiler or direct steam plumb- ing, no field connections to the cooker are required. All electrical and plumbing connections are routed to the steam boiler cabinet through the 6 inch high space between the floor and the bottom edge of the cabinet frame. Connection locations for the cooker mounted on steam boilers of electric, gas, and steam coil utility and direct-connected steam are shown in separate installation instructions for each.

WATER CONNECTIONS:

Before connecting water to this unit, have water sup- ply analyzed to make sure that hardness is no grater than 2.0 grains per gallon and pH level is within the range of 7.0–8.5. Water that fails to meet these stan- dards should be treated by the installation of a water conditioner.

Equipment failure caused by inadequate water qual- ity is not covered under warranty.

CAUTION:

PVC or CPVC are not acceptable materials for drains.

INSTALLATION CHECK-OUT:

Check-out procedures for the cooker mounted on steam boilers of electric, gas, and steam coil utility or direct-connected steam are given in separate installa- tion instructions for each. If the cooker fails to perform as described, consult the Trouble-Shooting Guide for corrective action. If difficulty arises with the boiler, ref- erence the separate service and parts manual for that equipment.

Before making this check-out, the operator must be thoroughly familiar with the operating procedures on page 3 and with the function of each control described in Table 1 on page 5. Reference Figure 1, also on page 5 for identification of controls required in the fol- lowing procedures.

INITIAL CONTROL SETTINGS:

Before beginning the start-up procedures for the cooker, the instruction plate and service manual for the steam boiler must be consulted and all start-up procedures completed to supply 15 PSI steam to the steam inlet line for the cooker.

1.All steam boiler controls are in the operating mode and 15 PSI steam is applied to the cooker inlet plumbing.

2.Cooker timers for both compartments (Figure 1, page 5) are in the OFF position.

3.Cooker compartments are empty of all information materials, pan supports are mounted in place, and doors are open.

COOKER CHECK-OUT:

The cooker check-out procedures are as follows: 1.With the doors open set timers to about the “4 min-

ute” position. Observe that indicator lights are off and steam does not enter compartments.

2.Close cooker compartment doors. Observe that indicator lights turn on, and steam can be heard rushing into the compartment simultaneously with the door closing.

3.Observe the boiler drain line for passage of steam into the open floor drain. Correct steam condenser operation is evidenced by presence of water flow-
