The electric connection is made to the contactor, which is located inside the service compartment on the right side of
the steamer. The right side panel must be removed to gain access to the contactor. A hole on the rear of each
steamer is provided for a 3/4" conduit fitting (solid or flex). An electric cable support bracket and clamp are located
inside of the service compartment, to the right and above the contactor (see Figure 8).
Be sure that the input voltage and number of phases matches the requirement stated on the serial plate. The steamer
is factory wired per customer order. A wiring diagram is attached to the inside of the right side panel of the steamer.

ADJUSTMENT OF ANY CONTROL OR WIRING. THE STEAMER IS FACTORY SET. ADJUSTING ANY
INTERNAL COMPONENT CAN VOID THE WARRANTY.
