Plumbing
Caution 
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials and Code Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
NOTE: Variety Steamer models are designed to use cold tap water.
This unit requires a direct water hookup. A Water Inlet Hose and Strainer Assembly (Figure 2) are supplied.
1.Turn off the water valve (not supplied) that pro- vides water to the unit (Figure 2).
2.Connect the 1/4” (6.5 mm) I.D. flexible tubing to the outlet side of the Water Pressure Regulator and secure with the Worm Clamp as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: A Water Pressure Regulator (P/N 7000314) must first be installed as shown in Figure 2. Failure to do so will result in poor steaming and possible flooding.
3. Turn water valve on.
4.While holding over a bucket, press and hold the “white” plastic tip on the Quick Disconnect insert until good, steady water flow is noted. This will purge all air out of the line. Release and note the pressure on the Water Pressure Regulator Gauge. If should read 20 PSI. If it reads more or less, adjust the pressure by pulling the black knob upwards and turning it clockwise to increase (counter clockwise to decrease) the water pres- sure. Push the knob down to lock it in place.
NOTE: When adjusting the knob, you must relieve the existing pressure by pressing the “White” plastic tip on the Quick Disconnect insert for 3 sec- onds. The gauge will now show the new pressure setting.
5.Push the Quick Disconnect insert into the fitting at the rear of the unit until it “clicks.” (Figure 2).
NOTE: Incoming water is controlled by a solenoid valve inside the electrical housing of the steamer.
6.Connect the black drain hose to the drip tray as shown in Figure 2. Place the other end of the drain hose in a drain or collection pan.
Caution 
Water pressure must not exceed 30 psi (2.1 kg/ cm2 or 207 kPa). Higher water pressures may cause poor performance or flooding. To reduce water pressure, install a water pressure regula- tor, and set water pressure between
-1.7 kg/cm2 or 138 - 172 kPa). To order a water pressure regulator from your authorized service center, order Roundup part no. 7000314.
