In Canada, the installation must conform to the Canadian Gas Code, CAN
1-B149, Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment and/or
local codes.
After the unit has been connected to the gas supply, all gas joints must be
checked for leaks. Do NOT use flame checking for leaks. A thick soap solution
or other suitable leak detector should be used.
For a Unit on casters:
1. The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the
standard for connectors for movable gas appliances; ANSI Z21.69.CSA
6.16, and a quick disconnect device that complies with the standard for
quick-disconnect devices for use with gas fuel, ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9.
2. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance
without depending on the connector and the quick disconnect device or
its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
3. The location where the restraining device may be attached to the
appliance shall be in accordance with Groen specifications for the device.
D. Water Connection(s)
Install a check valve to prevent back flow in the incoming cold water line,
as required by local plumbing codes. Water pressure in the line should be
between 30 and 60 PSI. If pressure is above 60 PSI, a pressure regulator will
be needed. These pressures must provide the 1.5 gallons per minute required
for proper steamer function.
A 2- 3/4 inch female NH connector (garden hose type) is used to attach the
water supply to the inlet valve. Minimum inside diameter of the water feed line
is 1/2 inch. Use a washer in the hose connection. Do not allow the connection
to leak, no matter how slowly. Do not over-tighten hose connections.
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the basic plumbing code of
the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and
the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
NOTE: Local code may also require check valves in the water supply line.
E. Drain Connection
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE DRAIN DIRECTLY TO A BUILDING DRAIN.
BLOCKING THE DRAIN IS HAZARDOUS.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE PLASTIC PIPE. DRAIN MUST BE RATED FOR BOILING
WATER.
Level the steamer front to back, and pitch it slightly to the rear (maximum 1/4
inch) by adjusting the optional legs or the bullet feet on the optional stand.

There must be a free air gap between the end of the hose and the building
drain. The free air gap should be as close as possible to the unit drain. There
must also be no other elbows or restrictions between the unit drain and the
free air gap.
Install the drain line with a constant downward pitch.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALLOW WATER TRAPS IN THE LINE. A TRAP CAN
CAUSE PRESSURE IN THE CAVITY, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE DOOR GASKET
TO LEAK.
Proper Drain Line Connection –– Drain Line must have a constant downward
pitch of at least 1/4” per foot. Observe local code regarding air gap spacing
and drain connections.
F. Factory-Stacked Units
This section is applicable only if you are installing factory-stacked units.
Installing stacked steamers is similar to installing a single unit. The steamers
are stacked and assembled at the factory and delivered with the water
connections and drain hoses required for a single point connection.
1. Dual Water Connections: The same water supply connection is used for
both units. At the water inlet valve a 3/4 inch female NH connector (garden
hose type) is used for the water supply.
2. Electrical Supply Connection: Separate electrical connections will be
required for each steamer to be stacked. Each steamer unit must have it’s
own branch circuit protection.
3. Gas Connection: A single gas connection is required for both steamers.
Gas supply must be adequate under all conditions as listed on page 3.
