HC24EA SERIES ELECTRIC COUNTERTOP CONVECTION STEAMERS

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST

COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY,

SAFETY AND PLUMBING CODES.

Water Requirements

Proper water quality can improve the taste of

the food prepared in the steamer, reduce liming

in the steam generator and extend equipment

life. Water conditions vary from one location to

another. Ask your municipal water supplier for

details about your local water supply prior to

installation. Presence of sediment, silica, excess

chlorides or other dissolved solids may lead to

a recommendation for alternate form(s) of water

treatment. Test the water with the test strip

included with the steamer. Other factors

affecting steam generation are iron content,

amount of chloridation and dissolved gases.

Water Treatment

A local water treatment specialist should be

consulted before installation of steam generating

equipment.

Supply Pressure 20 - 60 psig

Hardness* No more than 3 grains

Silica less than 13 ppm

Total Chlorine less than 4.0 ppm

PH range 6.5 - 8

Undissolved Solids less than 5 microns

*17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness

If the water supply fails to meet these standards,

it will be necessary to install a water conditioner

on the generator water feed. The use of strainers

or filters will not remove minerals from the

water.

Water Supply Connection

Connect the treated cold water supply line to the

3/4" (19 mm) (male hose thread) inlet. Connect

the untreated cold water supply line to the 3/4"

(19 mm) (male hose thread) inlet marked

UNTREATED WATER.

A water treatment system is recommended for

the water supply line going to the treated water

inlet. Follow the recommendations for use and

installation instructions shipped with the water

filter. If a water treatment system is not installed,

the steam generator warranty may be limited.

A manual shutoff valve must be provided in a

convenient location near the steamer.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

The drain connection (Figure 2) must be 1 1/2"

(38 mm) down, preferably with one elbow only,

maximum length of 6' and piped to an open gap

type drain.

CAUTION: In order to avoid any back

pressure in the steamer, do not make a

solid connection to any drain. FAILURE

TO DO SO CAN DAMAGE THE STEAMER

AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.

A vent must be installed to avoid creating a

vacuum or pressure in the cooking chamber.
