INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, 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.
LOCATION
Before installing, verify that the electrical supply agrees with the specifications on the data plate.
Position the steamer in its final location. Check that there are sufficient clearances to service the
controls, for door swings, etc., so there will be no problem in making the required supply and drain
connections.
Allow enough space between any other piece of equipment or a wall for service access. Service for
the controls for the upper steamer compartments requires access to the upper left side panel. Service
on the cabinet base may require access to the left and/or right side panels.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
In the United States, the steamer must be installed in accordance with:
1. State and local codes.
2. National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

LEVELING
Using a spirit level or pan of water, level the appliance; then elevate the right side about 1/8" (3 mm)
to assure proper compartment drainage. After installation, bolt and anchor the appliance securely to the
floor. Seal bolts and rear flanged feet with an NSF approved sealer (Silastic or equivalent).
EXHAUST HOOD
An exhaust system should be located directly above the steamer to exhaust steam and heat generated
by the steamer.
