1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL 
 
The SN-3E and SN-5E steamers are single compartment electric pressureless steam cookers 
with an internal electric steam generator that maintains water temperature at approximately 
205
F. SN-3E is rated 7.5 kW as standard; 10 kW is optional. SN-5E is rated 12 kW as
standard; 15 kW is optional. 
 
At high altitude locations a lower temperature is required to achieve atmospheric steaming. 
Contact your authorized service office to have the thermostat adjusted if the steamer will be 
operated at high altitudes. 
 
INSTALLATION 
 
UNPACKING 
 
Immediately after unpacking the steamer, check for possible shipping damage. If the steamer is 
found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of 
delivery. 
 
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the 
machine data plate which is located on the left side panel. 
 
LOCATION 
 
Allow space for plumbing and electrical connections. Allow adequate access for operating and 
servicing the steamer (36" at the front of the steamer and 15" above the steamer). 
 
LEGS (OPTIONAL)
If the optional 4" adjustable legs are used, remove the four levelling feet on the bottom of the 
steamer. 
LEVELING
Using a spirit level or pan of water in bottom of steamer chamber, adjust feet to level steamer 
front to back and side to side. After drain is connected, check for level by pouring water onto 
the floor of the compartment. All water should drain through opening in rear.
