CHAPTER 3
INSTALLATION of the SteamChef
A. Selecting a Location for the SteamChef
1. For safe and efficient operation, observe the following criteria when selecting an operating location
for this appliance:
a. Installation must comply with all
local fire and health codes.
b. The location selected must be capable of supporting this appliance.
• The operating weight of a 22CGT3 is 310 lbs.
• The operating weight of a 22CGT6 is 360 lbs.
c. Position this appliance so it will not tip or slide.
d. The operating surface must be level enough to allow leveling this appliance with its adjustable
legs. This appliance MUST
be level both front to back and side to side before operation.
e. A suitable drain must be available within 12 feet of the appliance.
f. The location must include space for Operating and Service/Secondary Clearances and the
Exhaust Hood. See Figure 2-1.
• Maintain a 3-inch operating clearance on both sides of the appliance.
• Cleveland Range recommends a 12-inch secondary clearance on the control side for service.
• Maintain at least a 3-inch operating clearance at the rear of the appliance.
• Maintain at least a 24-inch clearance in front of the appliance for door swing and standard
pan clearance.
g. KEEP THE AREA FREE AND CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLES.
h. Proper air supply for ventilation and combustion is REQUIRED for and CRITICAL to safe,
efficient operation of a SteamChef. Do NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to
the SteamChef.
i. Make sure the air vents of the SteamChef are not blocked with or by anything.
j. Allow for sufficient extra distance if a "high heat source" (e.g. a broiler) is located next to the
SteamChef. Contact Cleveland Range at 216-481-4900 or 1-800-338-2204 for recommendations.
k. Do NOT install a SteamChef directly over a drain. Steam rising up out of the drain will adversely
affect operation, hamper cooling air circulation, and damage electrical and electronic components.
B. Exhaust Hood Requirements
1. A gas fired SteamChef Oven must be installed under a suitable ventilation hood as required by the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. The venting hood system must also include an
interlock to prevent the operation of this appliance without the operation of the ventilation hood.
2. The exhaust hood must extend over the gas flue opening and meet the following requirements:
a. The SteamChef must be vented in accordance with all local, state and national codes for venting
gas fired appliances.
b. The exhaust hood must be sized for the cumulative ventilation requirements of all the gas-fired
appliances in the area under the hood, including the SteamChef.
All clearance requirements above, below, and around the SteamChef are the same for
non-combustible locations as for combustible locations.
Failure to maintain required clearances and additional distances as needed can result in
INJURY and EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Consult manufacturers’ literature, and sales and service agencies as needed.
