LEVELING
Using a spirit level or pan of water in the bottom of the steamer, adjust the leveling feet to level the steamer front to back and side to side.
For floor models (VSX5GC, VSX7GC or VSX10GC), mark hole locations on the floor through the anchoring holes provided in the rear flanged adjustable feet. Move steamer and drill holes in floor at marked locations. Insert proper anchoring devices. Set steamer back in proper position. Bolt and anchor leveled steamer securely to the floor. Seal bolts and flanged feet with Silastic or equivalent compound.
After the drain is connected, check for level by pouring water onto the floor of the compartment. All water should drain through the opening at the back of the compartment.
VENT HOOD
An exhaust system should be located directly above the steamer to vent steam and combustion gases generated by the steamer and gas boiler(s). Refer to NFPA Standard # 96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY AND PLUMBING CODES.
Water Supply Connection
The water filter, provided, must be installed in the water supply line going to the filtered water inlet; or your steamer warranty may be voided. For incoming water supply line pressures, refer to the water filter manual shipped with the water filter. Follow the recommendations contained in it. Water pressure to the steamer should be 20 to 60 psi.
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. Local water conditions vary from one location to another. Ask your municipal water supplier for details about your local water supply before installation.
Recommended water parameters are included in the water filter manual shipped with the steamer; follow the recommendations
contained in it. | Fig. 1 |

Presence of sediment, silica, excess chlorides or other dissolved solids may lead to a recommendation for alternate form(s) of water treatment. Be sure to test the water with the test strip and register the results using the registration card or by visiting vulcanhart.com.
