3.0 INSTALLATION (Continued)
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
No plumbing connections are required as steamer is filled manually.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
No drain connection is required.
WATER CONDITION
For best results, Blodgett recommends that the water supply meet the following specification:
Hardness:
Less than 2 grains or 35 ppm.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Less than 60 ppm.
PH Factor:
7.0 to 7.5
This degree of hardness can easily be obtained with the use of a properly maintained water
softener.
VENT HOOD
Some local codes may require the steamer to be located under an exhaust hood. It is
recommended that this steamer be located under an exhaust hood to remove excess steam
during cooking operations.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hood may be obtained from the
standard for “Vapor Removal for Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No. 96 (Latest Edition).
WARNING: For an appliance equipped with casters, the installation
shall be made with an adequate flexible electrical conduit; adequate
means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance
without depending on or transmitting stress to the electrical conduit.
The location where restraining means may be attached is to the rear
of the stand, below power supply connection.
