2. Connection of the Water Supply Lines
• The Installer/Owner is responsible for the correct water connection of the SteamChef.
• When connecting water supply lines observe the following instructions, and any and all other
applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations.
• NOTICE: Connect the SteamChef to COLD WATER!
• Never
connect the SteamChef to HOT WATER! The Condenser system and the steam generator
will not work properly if connected to HOT or WARM water.
a. The water supply must have a minimum dynamic (flow) pressure of 35 psi (2.4 kg/cm²)
and a maximum static pressure of 60 psi (4.1 kg/cm²).
b. If the static pressure is above 60 psi, a pressure regulator must be used and set at
approximately 50 psi. Pressure above 60 psi can damage solenoid valves.
c. SteamChefs have two connection points for incoming water: condenser, and generator.
d. If the water supply meets requirements shown in the Warranty then the Single Water Supply
Arrangement shown in Figure 3-5 may be used.
e. If the water supply fails to meet the requirements shown in the Warranty then use the Separate
Water Supply Arrangement shown in Figure 3-6.
f. Installation Requirements:
1) Apply non-hardening pipe sealant to all the threaded connections except the 3/4” GHT
(Garden Hose Thread or National Hose Thread) connections at the Water Connection. GHT or
NHT connections do not require pipe sealant.
2) Install a manual water shut-off valve (not provided) between main cold water supply line(s)
and SteamChef supply lines.
3) The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requires installation of a check-valve (or other
approved anti-backflow / anti-siphon device) (not provided) in all supply lines in accordance
with and as required by local, state, and national health, sanitation, and plumbing codes.
4) Check local codes to determine exactly what type of anti-backflow / anti-siphon device is
necessary to meet local requirements.
5) Cleveland Range recommends the plumbing layout in either Figure 3-5 for installations
using a single water supply or Figure 3-6 if a separate conditioned water supply is used for
the steam generator reservoir feed.
• Use two (2) 3/8” supply lines for a separate conditioned water supply. See Figure
• Use one (1) 1/2” supply line for a single water supply. Use the Single Point Water
Connection Kit (cold water supply splitter) (P/N 111009).
6) The SteamChef has two 3/4-inch NHT fittings (National Hose Thread or
Garden Hose Thread) for the water connections to the water reservoir and
to the condenser. Note: The hose connector used must be NSF or FDA
rated for food grade service.
7) Construct all supply lines up to the point of installing the filter washer.
8) Flush the water supply lines before connecting them.
9) A Filter Washer is supplied installed in each of the water inlets of this
SteamChef (See Figure 3-4, Cleveland Range Part Number 110987.)
• Remove the water supply shipping cap. The filter washer is
under the shipping cap.
• Make sure the filter washer is properly in place, and connect the
water supply to the SteamChef.
