The following information we know will increase the productivity and life span of the equipment. Every product needs proper installation and with a steamer it is critical. The following is some important information you should check on before and during installation of the equipment. Water The quality of water you put into the steam generator is important. Poor quality water will create generator problems. Water is no longer just plain and simple water has many natural ingredients in it. These are called Total Dissolved Solids, or TDS. This includes calcium, iron, and other minerals in the water that collect in the steam generator Because of the droughts in many areas, water and TDS's are being pumped up from the bottom of the water systems. If these TDS are not pre-filtered out or cleaned out with a regular preventive maintenance program, your steam generator could deteriorate and develop holes. CHLORIDE is another chemical in our water creating many problems with all steam generators. When the generator creates steam from the water it also carries the chloride gas with it. These chlorides begin to eat away the inside of the generator and follow the steam into the compartments causing a rusting action (oxidation) as it goes along. A CARBON OR CHARCOAL FILTER must be installed on the incoming water line to the steamer if the chlorine is over 30 parts per million. These filters will remove the chloride. The WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS for your STEAMER are as follows: Total Dissolved Solids less than 60 parts per million Total Alkalinity less than 20 parts per million Silica less than 13 parts per million Chloride less than 30 parts per million pH Factor greater than 7.5 Drain Line Connection A proper drain line connection is important. If the drain line is clogged it can create a back up of pressure causing extreme and costly repairs. P/N-260AOZ-A Figure 1. Drain Connections If the drain line is not large enough, not open at the end, or does not have a gravity flow; pressure and hot water will back up into the compartments. If any of these conditions exist and hot water does back up into the compartment someone could be seriously burned and injured. This can happen even with a correct installation if a drain cleaner is not used on a regular basis. An open and free flowing drain line IS REQUIRED for the proper cooking performance of a CONVECTION STEAMER. It helps create a swirling action around the products being cooked. This movement of hot steam around the product is your CONVECTION STEAM COOKING. DO NOT INSTALL UNIT OVER A FLOOR DRAIN. If it becomes an absolute must, using an 18.' stainless steel or aluminum pan turn it over and cut a notch in the side wall to fit over the drain line. Place the pan directly over the drain opening- DO NOT SEAL TO THE FLOOR. The steam from the drain line will collect on the under side and condense into the drain opening. DO NOT INSTALL GAS UNITS ON FLAMMABLEFLOORS OR NEAR WALLS. A flammable floor or wall is any material such as wood, linoleum, or vinyl that is easily ignitable and bums rapidly. The intent of these instructions is to provide meaningful information, which will help you obtain many years of production. Before installing the steamer, please read those instructions carefully to maintain your safety and warranty Operator’s Manual P/N-260AOZ-A INSTALLATION SAFETY WARNING Qualified installation personnel, working to all applicable local and national codes must accomplish installation of this equipment. Improper installation of this product could cause or damage. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable Vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The flooring that will be directly under the boiler must also be made of a noncombustible material. Cleveland Range equipment is designed and built to comply with applicable standards for manufacturers. Included among those certification agencies which have approved the safety of the equipment design and construction: UL, A.G.A., NSF ASME, CSA, CGA, and others. Cleveland Range equipment is designed and certified for safe operation only when permanently installed in accordance with local and I or national codes. Many local codes exist and it is the responsibility of the owner and installer to comply with these codes In no event shall Cleveland Range assume any liability for consequential damage or injury resulting from installations which is not in strict compliance with our installation instructions. Specifically, Cleveland Range will not assume any liability for damage resulting from improper installation of equipment including, but not limited to, temporary or mobile installations INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. These instructions must be retained by the owner/user for future reference. Gas-fired boilers are only to be installed in noncombustible areas that have provisions for adequate air supply. The term "boiler’s will be used synonymously with "steam generator". 2. Position: For proper operatio...
