Equipment Description Your 3-pan or 5-pan atmospheric convection steamer is designed to give years of service. It has a stainless steel cavity (cooking chamber) which is served by an independent atmospheric steam generator which is electricallyheated. A powerful blower circulates the steam in the cavity to increase heating efficiency. The 3-pan steamer holds three standard 12” x 20” x 2½” steamer pans. The cavity holds up to five or three steam table pans (12” x 20” x 2½” deep).
Inspection & Unpacking CAUTION SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT. CAUTION THE 5-PAN UNIT WEIGHS 230 POUNDS (104 KG). THE 3-PAN UNIT WEIGHS 180 POUNDS (82 KG). YOU SHOULD GET HELP AS NEEDED TO LIFT THIS WEIGHT SAFELY. The Steamer will be delivered completely assembled in a heavy shipping carton strapped to a skid. On receipt, inspect carton carefully for exterior damage. Carefully cut the straps and detach the sides of the carton from the skid. Pull the carton up off the unit.
Water Conditioning It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale. Even though the steam generator is engineered to minimize scale formation, scale development depends on the hardness of your water and the number of hours per day you operate the equipment. Most water supplies are full of minerals which form scale. It is this scale which could lead to an early component failure. Your water utility can tell you about the minerals in your water.
Installation WARNING THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY AND PLUMBING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT. THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES. CAUTION DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT WITH THE RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE VENTS BLOCKED OR WITHIN 12 INCHES OF A HEAT SOURCE (SUCH AS A BRAISING PAN, DEEP FAT FRYER, CHARBROILER OR KETTLE). TO AVOID DRAINAGE PROBLEMS, LEVEL THE UNIT FRONT TO BACK.
Installation WARNING DO NOT CONNECT THE DRAIN DIRECTLY TO A BUILDING DRAIN. BLOCKING THE DRAIN IS HAZARDOUS. 2. CAUTION DO NOT USE PLASTIC PIPE. DRAIN MUST BE RATED FOR BOILING WATER. IMPORTANT DO NOT ALLOW WATER TRAPS IN THE LINE. A TRAP CAN CAUSE PRESSURE BUILD-UP IN THE CAVITY, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE DOOR GASKET TO LEAK. Water Connection(s) Install a check valve to prevent back flow in the incoming cold water line, as required by local plumbing codes.
Installation WARNING DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT DRAIN DIRECTLY TO THE BUILDING DRAIN. CAUTION DO NOT USE PLASTIC PIPE. DRAIN MUST BE RATED FOR BOILING WATER. 5.
