SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION
• Routing the ventilation system in
accordance with the factory-supplied
engineering drawings and all applicable
local and national codes.
• Connecting the water supply.
• Connecting the electrical supply.
• Connecting the steam supply line (for
machines with steam heating).
• Connecting the steam condensate return
line, and routing it to either a floor drain or
a building condensate return line (for
machines with steam heating).
• Connecting the drain line, and routing it
to a floor drain or building drain.
• Installing the chemical dispensing system
(if so equipped), following the manu-
facturer’s instructions AND the instructions
in Section 3 of this Manual.
• Contacting your Meiko Authorized Service
Agent to perform a Performance and
Installation Inspection for the machine.
This step also validates the machine’s
warranty.
Meiko may be able to arrange for an
Authorized Service Agent to be present
at the conclusion of the installation
process. Consult your Authorized Sales
Representative for details.
3.2 Requirements Before Installation
Before the installer can uncrate and move the
appliance to the installation location, the
following conditions MUST be met:
• INSTALLATION AREA REQUIREMENTS
- The area MUST be frost-free. Freezing
temperatures (32°F/0°C or lower)
inhibit proper operation and can
damage internal components.
- The area MUST have a firm floor
surface. It is possible to compensate
for uneven flooring by adjusting the
feet.
- The area should be away from
appliances, furniture or surfaces that
can be damaged by steam. If this is
not possible, these items should be
protected from the steam that is
released during normal operation of
the dishwasher.
• UTILTITY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
- Connections must be present and
ready for hookup to the appliance. All
utility supplies must comply with the
electrical information labels, with the
information on the data plate, and with
all applicable local and national codes.
- Electrical leads, water supply line(s),
drain line, and the steam supply and
condensate return lines (if so
equipped) must be present.
- The electrical supply must match the
voltage and amperage requirements
specified on the data plate. Circuit
breakers/disconnects (lockout/tagout
is strongly recommended) must be
installed in accordance with all local
and national codes. If the machine
includes multiple electrical connec-
tions, each supply must include a
dedicated circuit breaker/disconnect.
- The water supplies must match the
temperatures, pressures and flow
rates specified on the data plate. For
best operation, it should also match the
water hardness specified on the
engineering drawings.
- The steam supply (if so equipped)
must match the pressure and volume
specified on the data plate.
- The ventilation system must be
present and in accordance with the
factory-supplied engineering drawings
and all applicable local and national
codes.
- For units using a chemical dispensing
system, appropriate dispensers or
containers should be installed and
ready for connection to the appliance.
• GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Authorized personnel should be available
to perform the actual utility connections.
