packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
We cannot assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.
Before installing, verify that the gas (natural or propane), the elevation from sea level and the electrical supply agree
with the specication on the data plate. NOTE: If this appliance is being installed above 2,000 feet altitude, contact your
authorized service o󰀩ce to assure that the proper orice size for your elevation has been installed.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and
ventilation air. Clearance from combustible construction must be a minimum of 3 inches from the sides and 6 inches
from the back. The appliance should be installed on a noncombustible oor. Provide adequate clearances for cleaning,
maintenance, service and proper operation.
Su󰀩cient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any ventilating system
and for combustion of the gas burners. Do not obstruct the air ow into and around the appliance. Do not obstruct the ow
of ue gases from the ue duct located at the rear and above the cabinet. Position the appliance in its nal location. Check
that there are su󰀩cient clearances to service the controls, for door swings, etc., so there will be no problem in making the
required supply and drain connections.
Allow enough space between any other piece of equipment or a wall for service access.
Service on the cabinet base may require access to the left and/or right side panels.
Leveling and Anchoring the Cabinet
1. Place appliance in the installation position.
2. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the appliance and turn the adjustable feet to level side-to-side and front-to-back.

Gas Boilers
Installation Codes and Standards
The boiler must be installed in accordance with:
Gas installation to conform to local codes, or in absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code - ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable, including:
1. The appliance and its individual shut o󰀨 valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut o󰀨 valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.2.
WIRING DIAGRAM FOR APPLIANCE IS LOCATED INSIDE CABINET DOOR.
Exhaust Fans and Canopies
Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, kettles, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6 inches
past the appliance and be located 6 feet 6 inches from the oor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more
with the horizontal. This position prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-o󰀨 grease in a drip pan, usually
installed with the lter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance
or may extinguish pilot ames. Makeup air openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such vacuum. In case of
unsatisfactory performance on an appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the “OFF” position.
Connections
Plumbing Connections
Water Supply Connection
The incoming cold water supply connection, at the rear of the steamer cabinet, requires 3/8” tubing and water pressure of 25 - 50 psi.
A manual shut-o󰀨 valve must be provided convenient to the appliance; this valve should be open when the boiler is in operation.
FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF THIS APPLIANCE DUE TO POOR WATER QUALITY IS NOT COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY. SEE WATER QUALITY STATEMENT.
Drain Connection
The drain (2” IPS) should be piped to a oor drain near the unit. There should be no solid drain connection; an “open gap”
between the boiler and the oor drain is required.
NOTICE
If this equipment is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and was not so specied on order, contact service
department. Failure to install with proper orice sizing may void the warranty.
WARNING
Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety, and plumbing codes.

Gas Boilers
Electrical Connections
120 VAC-60 Hz - Single Phase
Refer to the electrical diagram located inside cabinet on door.
Codes require that a gas shut-o󰀨 valve be installed in the gas line prior to the unit. Make sure the pipes are clean and free
of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
Gas Connection
1. The data plate on the cabinet door of the boiler indicates the type of gas your unit is equipped to burn. DO NOT
connect to any other gas type.
Keep the appliance area free and clear from combustible substances. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and
ventilation air.
2. A 3/4” NPT line is provided at the rear for the connection. Each boiler is equipped with an internal pressure regulator
which is set at 3.5” W.C. manifold pressure for natural gas or 10.5” W.C. for LP gas. Use the 1/8” pipe tap on the
burner manifold for checking pressure
An adequate gas supply is necessary. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas required for
satisfactory performance. A steady supply pressure, between 7” W.C. and 14” W.C. for natural gas and 11” W.C. and 14”
W.C. for propane gas is recommended. With all units operating simultaneously, the manifold pressure on all units should
not show any appreciable drop. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas, and 10% on propane gas, will create pilot
problems and a󰀨ect burner operating characteristics.
Contact your gas company for correct supply line sizes.
Purge the supply line to clean out any dust, dirt, or foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
CAUTION
The pipe thread compound used when installing pipes must be a type that is resistant to the action of liquied
petroleum or propane gases.
WARNING
Prior to start-up, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution. Do not use
an open flame.
WARNING
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable portions of the National Electrical
Code and/or other local codes.

Main Power Switch - ON lls the boiler tank and turns the boiler controls on. You should allow 20 minutes to ll
the tank and generate steam.
- OFF shuts o󰀨 the boiler controls and opens the automatic blowdown valve, emptying the
boiler tank and releasing water and steam to the drain. This should be done at least once
daily to remove sediment, lime, or scale.
Pilot Light - Indicates main power is ON.
Boiler Pressure Gauge - Should read 9 -11 psi during operation; 0 psi during shutdown.
Water Level Sight Glass - Observe level of water in the boiler and water quality. Murkiness in the water indicates
inadequate water quality; the owner must supply proper water to the boiler (See page 4
Water Quality Statement).
Water Level Control - While ON, briey open the water level control once each week to remove any sediment
that might accumulate.
Safety Valve - This valve will release (pop o󰀨) if the boiler has too much pressure. Once a week, this
valve should be tripped during operation to make sure it functions properly.

Gas Boilers
Normal Boiler Operating Cycle
Water Fill Cycle
On the initial lling of the boiler, the reset switch must be activated to initialize the safety lockout circuit. Once the water in
the boiler has reached the proper level, the level control will stop the ow of water to the boiler. As water is consumed in
the production of steam, the level control will replenish water to the boiler.
Firing Cycle
The gas valve is controlled by pressure sensing devices. On initial operation of the boiler, steam generation should reach
11 psi in approximately 15 minutes. At this point the “Operating Pressure” switch will close the gas valve. When pressure
drops to 9 psi, the pressure switch opens the gas valve and ignition should occur.
Should the pressure rise to more than 14.5 psi the “Overrride pressure switch” will open the override solenoid valve,
releasing the excess steam.
Condensing Drain
A thermostat is located in the drain assembly and is activated by the temperature of steam. The thermostat opens the
cooling solenoid valve, supplying water to the drain to condense the steam.
Automatic Blowdown Valve
If the unit has an automatic blowdown valve, it is activated by the main power switch. The boiler will drain should the main
power switch be turned “OFF.”
Safety Lockout Conditions
High Temperature Condition
A high temperature safety device is installed on the boiler. Should the temperature exceed the limit of this device, the boiler will
be shut down and be put in a state of lockout. The “Temperature” pilot light (Red), and the “Standby” pilot (amber), will come on.
High Pressure Condition
A high pressure safety switch is installed on the boiler. Should the pressure exceed the limit of this device, the boiler will
be shut down and be put into a state of lockout. The “Pressure” pilot light (Red), and the Stand By pilot (amber), will come
on. Should this device fail to operate, the safety relief valve will open.
Low Water Condition
A second low water safety cut o󰀨 is supplied with the boiler. Should the water level fall below normal operating levels,
this device will activate and put the boiler in a state of lockout. The “Low Water” pilot light (Red), and the “Stand By” pilot
(amber) will come on.

Gas Boilers Perodic Maintenance
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning or servicing appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to ush your boiler water level control daily. Failure to follow this procedure can cause the control to malfunction
resulting in serious boiler damage.
The Boiler Water Level Control installed on your boiler requires periodic maintenance. As boiler water circulates into
the oat chamber, sand, scale and other sediment may be deposited in the oat chamber. While the chamber has been
designed with a large accumulation bowl, it is necessary to ush the sediment from the chamber by blowing down the
control so that the accumulation of sediment does not interfere with the movement of the oat in the control.
Control must be ushed at least once a day.
CAUTION
Protect yourself. When ushing control, hot water and steam will ow out of the drain.
When ushing control, note water level in gauge glass, allow the boiler to ll if necessary, and also to come up to
temperature.
Before ushing control, note that water level in gauge glass is within operating range and the boiler pressure is at least
6 psi. While the boiler is being red, open blowdown valve at bottom of control by rotating the handle counter-clockwise
about 1/4 turn to fully open the valve.
Opening the blowdown valve also checks the cut-o󰀨 operation. Float should drop shutting burners o󰀨, hot water and
steam will ow out the drain ushing away sediment.
CAUTION
If burner does not shut o󰀨 during blowdown, immediately discontinue use of appliance and call for service.
Continue draining water for about fteen (15) seconds, from control until water is clean. Manually close valve. Recheck gauge
glass. If water level has dropped signicantly, wait for the boiler to restore water level and pressure and repeat if necessary.

Periodic Maintenance
1. If water in sight glass is not clear and appears murky, this indicates poor water quality and may cause control failure.
(SEE WATER QUALITY STATEMENT, page 4.)
2. Safety valve should be tripped during operation once a week to ensure that it is functioning properly.
3. Clean around burners and orices if lint has accumulated.
4. Visually ensure carry over ports are unobstructed.
5. Visually check that the ue is not obstructed.
Cleaning
DO NOT allow water near the electrical components.
At the end of the day, turn the Main Power Switch OFF (automatic blowdown drains the boiler tank) or if equipped with
manual blowdown valve, open. Wash exterior with mild detergent and warm water, rinse, and wipe dry. Do not use steel
wool on stainless steel surfaces.
Removal of Lime Scale Deposits
The interior of the steam boiler should be inspected at least twice a year by your authorized servicer to determine whether
the boiler needs to be delimed. The servicer should perform any necessary deliming procedure. See descaling instructions.
Vent Hood
Twice a year check the venting system (hood); remove any obstructions; and clean as necessary.
Boiler Descaling Instructions
It is recommended that the boiler should be checked every 90 to 120 days for scale build up. Regular maintenance should
be carried out at this time.
If the boiler has been descaled, a new Anode should be installed in the boiler to help extend its life.
1. With boiler empty, close manual blowdown valve. If appliance is equipped with automatic blowdown, turn water supply
OFF to appliance. Turn power switch ON. This will energize and close blowdown valve.
2. Remove 3/4” pipe plug from tting on left front of boiler.
3. Insert appropriate hose or tube through tting and pour in (1/2) half gallon (U.S.) of CLR Descaling Solution or use the
Optional Deliming Assembly DPA-1 available from your dealer.
For appliances equipped with CSD-1, descaling solution must be introduced through hand hole.
4. Replace 3/4” pipe plug securely.
5. Open water supply to appliance allowing water to ll boiler to required level.
6. Let appliance cycle, allow two hours for descaling and cleaning. DO NOT TURN STEAM ON TO CONNECTED
APPLIANCES OR TO UPPER COMPARTMENTS.
7. Open both the blowdown and low water level control valves for complete drainage. Then close both valves.
For appliances equipped with automatic blowdown, turn OFF power switch and open low water control valve. This will
allow complete drainage. Once drained close water level control valve.
8. Turn appliance switch ON. When boiler is completely lled, turn power switch OFF. This will rinse and drain boiler.
Appliance with manual blowdown valve must be opened to drain.
9. Complete Step 8 twice to assure boiler is completely rinsed.
10. Appliance is now ready for use.
