The steamer is suitable for installation on or near both combustible and

noncombustible surfaces. Minimum installation clearances are:

Right Side

2 inches

Left Side

0 inches

Rear

6 inches

However, for easy service at least 12 inches clearance is required for the right side of

the unit, and it may not be installed within 12 inches of a heat source, as stated in the

Caution above.

The unit must be installed in a well-ventilated room with an adequate air supply. The

steamer must be installed beneath a ventilation hood, since gas combustion products

exit the appliance.

Any item which might obstruct or restrict the flow of air for combustion and ventilation

must be removed. Do not obstruct the flue cover or any front, side, rear, or top vents

after installation.

The area directly around the appliance must be cleared of all combustible material.

The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with

the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition, including the following:

The unit and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply

system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2

PSI (3.45 kPa). It must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its

individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping

system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa).

1. Electrical Supply Connection

Provide 115 VAC, 60 HZ, 1 PH, 15 AMP service. Bring conduit in through open

frame on the under-side of cabinet. Local codes and/or the National Electrical

Code should be observed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 (or latest

edition). AN ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED. The electrical schematic is

located in the service compartment and in this manual. Maximum load is 2

AMPs. In Canada, provide electrical service in accordance with the Canadian

Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1 and/or local codes.

2. Gas Supply Connection

Connection to the gas supply can be completed with 1/2” NPT pipe or approved

equivalent. Although the immediate connection to the appliance is “ NPT, gas

supply piping must be large enough to provide 90,000 BTU/hr. Supply pressure

must be at least 4.5” W.C. (maximum 14” W.C.) for natural gas or 12” W.C.

(maximum 14” W.C.) for LP gas. In Canada, the installation must conform to the

Canadian Gas Code, CAN 1-B149, Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances

and Equipment and/or local codes. After the unit has been connected to the gas

supply, all gas joints must be checked for leaks.

No flame should be used when checking for leaks. A thick soap solution or other

suitable leak detector should be used.
