SPECIFICATIONS STRATOSTEAM COUNTERTOP STEAMER

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

One fused electrical connection is required to the contactor of each steamer. All steamers are shipped per customer order, three phase or single phase. (A kit is available for field conversion to three phase or single phase.) The fused connection must be wired for the required voltage and maximum amperage as listed in the chart below:

Voltage		Total Connected Amps
	Model STRE-3D		Model STRE-5D
	1 Phase	3 Phase	1 Phase	3 Phase
208 V 60 Hz	44	26	53	31
220 V 50/60 Hz	41	24	51	29
240 V 60 Hz	38	22	46	27
480 V 60 Hz	19	11	23	14

WATER REQUIREMENTS

To meet warranty requirements, the water supply must be as follows:

Connection	1/4" compression, cold water
Pressure	30 to 60 PSI
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)	60 PPM or less
Hardness	2 grains (35 PPM) or less
pH	7.0 to 7.5
Maximum Fill Capacity	0.87 gallons

Typical usage is 0.46 gallons per minute at 45 PSI.

In order to minimize service problems and to meet the warranty requirements, a water treatment system (softener) is recommended when water quality does not meet the limits stated above.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

The drain outlet has a 1" NPT female connector. Do NOT directly connect the drain to a plumbing system unless you also install an “open funnel” downstream of this connection (see Figure 7 on page 16). There must be no back-flow or back-pressure into the drain connection!
