Equipment Setup

General

When placing the unit into service, pay attention to the safety guidelines listed in the Important Safety Information section of this manual.

Plumbing

NOTE: Variety Steamer models are designed to use cold tap water at 20-25 psi (1.4-1.7 kg/cm2 or 138-172 kPa).

Your VS-350 requires direct water hookup. An Inlet Hose and Strainer assembly (Figure 2 and 2A) is supplied with the unit. A water pressure regulator (P/N 7000235 (Figure 2A) to feed 2 steamers or P/N 7000314 (Figure 2) to feed 1 steamer), must first be installed.

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).

Water Pressure Regulator Installation Instructions

1.Install the regulator assembly to the steamer as shown in Figure 2 and 2A.

2.Open the shut off valve to allow water flow to the Regulator. Ensure that the steamer pressure regulator is set at 20-25 psi. If not, confirm that incoming water pressure is above 25 psi and, if so, adjust the regulator by pulling softly on the knob and turning until the gauge reads desired pressure. Push in the knob to lock.

NOTE: If the pressure was adjusted, the existing pressure must be relieved in order to register the new set pressure

3.Push the “white” plastic tip on each 1/4” elbow Quick Disconnect (Figure 2 and 2A) and hold for a few seconds to purge out air in the line and allow water to flow freely into a bucket with a steady stream.

4.Push each 1/4” elbow Quick Disconnect into the rear of the steamer(s) until a “click” is heard. Turn on the steamers and allow 20 minutes to warm up. Cycle the units 3 times and check the pressure regulator setting. If there is a change, adjust it again to read 20-25 psi and then push the knob in to lock. The unit is ready for use.
