Drain Line Installation - Units with Autofill or Units with Drain Kit
The drain line should not be less than: 1-1/2” for single units, or 2” for double units.
There must be a 2” air gap to the (non-pressurized) building drain. Make sure that the
drain is sloped AWAY and DOWN from the steamer and that there are no obstructions
in the line. Failure to observe these requirements may cause a water trap in the drain
line and produce enough back pressure to prevent proper cavity draining - resulting in
condensate water leaking from the door. Drain line must NOT be made of plastic pipe.
It must be able to withstand boiling water.
There must be a free air gap between the end of the hose and the building drain. The
free air gap should be as close as possible to the unit drain. There must also be no other
elbows or other restrictions between the unit drain and the free air gap.
Steam Vent Assembly
Remove steam diverter assembly from literature bag which can be found inside of unit.
Slide loose end as shown over unit steam outlet, tighten worm gear clamp with flat head
screw driver. Be sure steam outlet is pointing in the upward position (shown at left).
Stacking Units
Remove drain containment pan from the bottom of unit(s). Unscrew to remove
adjustable legs from base of unit(s). Unfasten nuts and bolts on stand platform(s). Place
unit(s) on stand platform. Align the (4) leg holes with the holes in the platform. Secure
unit(s) to stand platform(s) using bolts and washers provided in step 2 as shown in detail
“A” in figure 1 below.
For double stacked units only: By loosening the left screw and removing the right screw
provided, mount steam exhaust bracket assembly to the back panel of the top unit as
shown in detail “B” of figure 1. Attach the steam exhaust hose from the bottom unit’s
steam outlet tube to the top unit’s steam exhaust bracket assembly using hose clamps
provided as shown in figure 2. (Note: steam exhaust hose may need to be cut to fit.)
