C24EA SERIES ELECTRIC COUNTER CONVECTION STEAMERS

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY AND PLUMBING CODES.

Water Requirements

Proper water quality can improve the taste of the food prepared in the steamer, reduce liming in the steam generator and extend equipment life. Water conditions vary from one location to another. Ask your municipal water supplier for details about your local water supply prior to installation. Presence of sediment, silica, excess chlorides or other dissolved solids may lead to a recommendation for alternate form(s) of water treatment. Test the water with the test strip included with the steamer. Other factors affecting steam generation are iron content, amount of chloridation and dissolved gases.

Water Treatment

A local water treatment specialist should be consulted before installation of steam generating equipment.

Supply Pressure

20 - 60 psig

 

Hardness*

No more than 3 grains

 

Silica

less than 13 ppm

 

Total Chlorine

less than 4.0 ppm

 

PH range

6.5 - 8

 

Undissolved Solids

less than 5 microns

 

*17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness

If the water supply fails to meet these standards, it will be necessary to install a water conditioner on the generator water feed. The use of strainers or filters will not remove minerals from the water.

Water Supply Connection

Connect the treated cold water supply line to the 3/4" (19 mm) (male hose thread) inlet. Connect the untreated cold water supply line to the 3/4" (19 mm) (male hose thread) inlet marked

UNTREATED WATER.

A water filter system is recommended for the water supply line going to the treated water inlet. Follow the recommendations for use and installation instructions shipped with the water filter. If a water filter is not installed, the steam generator warranty may be limited.

A manual shutoff valve must be provided in a convenient location near the steamer.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

The drain connection (Figure 2) must be 1 1/2" (38 mm) down, preferably with one elbow only, maximum length of 6' and piped to an open gap type drain.

CAUTION: In order to avoid any back pressure in the steamer, do not make a solid connection to any drain. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE STEAMER AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.

A vent must be installed to avoid creating a vacuum or pressure in the cooking chamber.
