GENERAL
The VSX 3, 4, and 5 Steamers are single compartment electric pressureless steam cookers with an
internal electric steam generator that maintains water temperature at approximately 205°F. VSX3 is
rated 7.5 kw as standard; 10 kw is optional. VSX4 is rated 10 kw. VSX5 is rated 15 kw.
At high altitude locations a lower temperature is required to achieve atmospheric steaming. Contact
your Vulcan-authorized service office to have the thermostat adjusted if the steamer will be operated
at high altitudes.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the steamer, check for possible shipping damage. If the steamer is found
to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the machine data
plate which is located on the left side panel.
LOCATION
Allow space for plumbing and electrical connections. Minimum clearances are 2" on the sides and 6"
on the back for proper air circulation. Allow adequate access for operating and servicing the steamer
(36" at the front of the steamer and 15" above the steamer).
LEVELING FEET (Standard) OR 4" ADJUSTABLE LEGS (Optional)
Thread the four 2" leveling feet shipped in a bag inside the steamer cabinet into the threaded holes on
the bottom corners of the steamer. Or, thread the four optional 4" adjustable legs into the threaded
holes on the bottom corners of the steamer.
LEVELING
Using a spirit level or pan of water in the bottom of the steamer, adjust the leveling feet or the feet on
the adjustable legs to level the steamer front-to-back and side-to-side. 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 cavity.
