INSTALLATION

STRATOSTEAM COUNTERTOP STEAMER

INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Do not locate steamer adjacent to any high heat or grease producing piece of equipment, such as a range top, griddle, fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior temperature of the steamer body above 130°F (54°C). DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.

NOTICE

These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.

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.

NOTICE

EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES: It is recommended that the steamer be installed under a ventilation hood. Consult local codes for proper installation of hoods. Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by warranty.

LEVELING: Steamer must be level for proper operation. Improper leveling may void the warranty.

STEP 1: UNPACKING

IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has assumed responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.

Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary forms.

A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all contents plus all packing material.

Do the following:

1.Cut the banding straps and remove the corrugated cardboard surrounding the steamer. If legs were shipped in the same container, set them aside for installation in later steps of this procedure. Do not remove any tags or labels attached to the steamer until the steamer is installed and working properly.

2.If the steamer was shipped on a wooden skid, cut the banding strap holding the steamer to the wooden skid, unbolt the shipping hold-down brackets from the skid, then remove the brackets from the steamer.

3.If the steamer is to be installed on legs, go to Step 2a.

If the steamer is to be installed without legs on a countertop, go to Step 2b. If the steamer is to be mounted on the optional cabinet base, go to Step 2c. If two steamers are to be stacked, go to Step 2d.
