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

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.
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.
