Installation
B. Water Connection
Install a check valve to prevent back flow in the incoming cold water line, as
required by local plumbing codes. Water pressure in the line should be between
30 and 60 PSIG (210 and 420 kPa). If pressure is above 60 PSIG, a pressure
regulator will be needed.
A ¾ inch NH connector (garden hose type) is used to attach the water supply to
the water inlet valve. The minimum water feed line diameter is ½ inch (13mm).
Use a washer in the hose connection. Do not allow the connection to leak, no
matter how slow it may be.
If you have the dual water connection option, put the treated water (softened) to
the right intake (looking from the rear of the unit), and untreated water to the left.
Connections for both are made as described above.
C. Drain Connection
The steamer must be leveled front to back. A 1½ inch (38mm) ID hose may be
attached to the drain pipe by means of a hose.
Do NOT use plastic pipe. The drain must withstand boiling water.
Install the drain line with a constant downward pitch. Do not allow any water
traps in the line. A trap can cause pressure to build up inside the cavity during
steaming, which will make the door gasket leak.
IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE DRAIN WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Don’t allow water traps in the hose.
