28e. Free air venting requires a min imum of 1 inch of
clearance between the end of the drain line and the top
of the floor drain.
f. Do not connect the steamer drain directly to drains or
plumbing of any other equipment. (Except when using a
Cleveland Range designed application such as is used
with the Model ES222824S Stacking Stand)
g. Refer to Figure 4-13 and connect the drain to the
steamer as described below:
xThe steamer is supplied with a 1-inch pipe
connection at the bottom of the drain tee.
xWhen assembling the pipes and fittings of the
drain outlet extension, apply a hardening type pipe
sealant to the threads, and thread them together
FINGER TIGHT ONLY. DO NOT USE A
WRENCH.
10. Water Supply Requirements and Installation
a. Water Supply Requirements
1). Water Quality
Unlike most steam utilizing equipment, the water quality can vary significantly without any
undue loss of performance of a SteamChef¥ steamer. Even exceedingly hard, mineral laden
water will not affect the operation of a SteamChef¥ 3 as long as it is cleaned with vinegar daily
as outlined in Chapter 2, Section D.
2). Water Supply System
A potable water supply system must be available providing a minimum dynamic pressure of 35
psi (2.4 kg/cm2) and a maximum static pressure of 60 psi (4.1 kg/cm2).
b. Install Water Supply Lines
The installer/owner is responsible for the correct water connection of the unit. When connecting the
water supply lines observe the following instructions and all national and local codes and
regulations:
1). Never connect the unit to HOT WATER. The condenser system of the steamer will not work
properly if it is connected to HOT or WARM water.
2). The water supply should have a minimum flow pressure of 35-psi (2.4 kg/cm²) and a maximum
static pressure of 60-psi (4.1 kg/cm²). If the static pressure is above 60 psi, a pressure regulator
must be used set at approximately 50 psi. Pressure above 60 psi can damage the solenoid
valves.
3). The SteamChef¥ steamers are supplied with two connection points for incoming water, one
feeds the condensers and the second supplies feed water to the reservoir. Although, the
SteamChef¥ is very tolerant of water conditions a customer may want to use conditioned water
to supply the feed water to the reservoir. In the case of using a separate conditioned water
supply, use the layout shown in Figure 4-15.
4). Pay attention to the following requirements and recommendations when connecting the
steamer to the water supply:
a) Cleveland Range recommends the plumbing layout illustrated in either Figure 4-14, for
installations using a single water supply or Figure 4-15 if a separate conditioned water
supply is being used for the steam reservoir feed. Note: If using a single water feed to the
