wall outlet.
2. Remove the black side panels from both
the UPPER unit (with 2 power cords) and
the LOWER unit (with casters) by removing
the 6 screws per side. (Save the panels
and screws to be reinstalled.)
3. Remove the louvered covers from the
UPPER unit by removing the screws (as
shown typical).
4. Remove the cover plates (4 places) from
the base of the UPPER unit. This will give
access to the holes used to bolt the UPPER
unit to the LOWER unit.
5. Carefully lift and place the UPPER unit on
the LOWER unit. Align the holes in the
base of the UPPER unit with the holes in
the top black cover panel of the LOWER
unit.
6. Bolt the units together using the hardware
supplied (in the bag assembly). Insert a
bolt downward through the aligned hole
in UPPER unit base and the top of the
LOWER unit (per the above) and afx the
nut. Repeat 4 places.
7. Locate the water line in the LOWER
unit. Route the upper free end through
the Heyco bushing into the bottom of the
UPPER unit. Insert the tubing into the ‘T’
compression tting and tighten. Route and
straighten the tubing in the LOWER unit as
shown.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD UNIT
MUST BE SAFETY GROUNDED,
EARTHED.
DO NOT MODIFY, DEFEAT
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OR
ALTER PLUG.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The US FTU models are factory wired for 208
Volts AC, single phase, 60 Hz.
BEFORE CONNECTING
THE UNIT TO THE POWER SOURCE,
VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE AND
PHASE OF THE POWER SOURCE
ARE IDENTICAL TO THE VOLTAGE
AND PHASE INFORMATION ON THE
DATA LABEL.
ELECTRICAL AND
GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST
COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE
PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER
LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
DO NOT STORE
OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS OR LIQUIDS
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE.
THE MAIN SWITCH ON
THE APPLIANCE IS FOR STANDBY
POWER ONLY. FOR ALL-POLE
DISCONNECT REMOVE PLUG FROM
WALL OUTLET.
Refer to wiring diagram in this manual for
proper connection. Do not store ammables
near unit.
1. At the circuit breaker, turn off power to the
circuit to which the unit is to be connected.
2. Check that the unit Main Switch is in the
STANDBY position.
3. Connect the power cord on the top of the
unit to the electrical power source.
NOTE: Two power cords for one stacked
unit.
4. At the circuit breaker, turn on power to the
circuit.
If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by a special cord or
a special cord assembly available from
Duke Manufacturing Co. or its service
agent.
CAUTION
In order to avoid a hazard due
to inadvertent resetting of the thermal
cut-out, this appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching
device, such as a timer, or connected to
a circuit that is regularly switched on and
off by the utility.
EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
THE UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED. Grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current if an
electrical short occurs. This unit is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consult a qualied electrician or service agent
if grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
oven is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. If
the product power cord is too short, have
a qualied electrician install a three-slot
receptacle (or the country specic receptacle
for International Units). This unit should
be plugged into a separate circuit with the
electrical rating as provided on the product
data plate.

EXTERNAL EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING
TERMINAL (EXPORT ONLY)
This equipment has supplemental bonding
terminal. The terminal provides an external
bonding connection used in addition to the
earthing prong on the plug. The terminal
provides a connection for bonding to
the equipment enclosure. The external
equipotential bonding terminal is located on the
rear outside surface of the oven, the
terminal is marked with this symbol.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
This equipment must be installed in
accordance with all applicable federal, state,
and/or local plumbing codes having jurisdiction.
NOTE: The Duke Flex Tech Humidied
Holding Cabinet must be supplied with
water from a Reverse Osmosis (RO)
System.
See INSTALLATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS
(RO) SYSTEM section prior to water supply
interconnect.
The water inlet utilizes 1/4” (6.35mm), OD
plastic or copper tubing. Install the tubing in a
manner to ensure there are no kinks, strains,
or tight bends. Leave sufcient length to allow
unit movement for service and cleaning.
The tubing should be cut square and be free of
any deformations at the connection points. All
burrs and sharp edges should be removed for
proper connection.
Insert the tubing through the compression
tting with the threads pointing towards the end
of the tubing.
Push the tubing into the tting as far as it will
go and tighten the nut with a 9/16” (14.3mm),
wrench. Do not over-tighten the nut. If
leaks occur, further tighten the tting until the
leakage stops.
INSTALLATION
1. This unit is supplied with the national
and international specied water supply
interconnection. Local regulation variances
or additional requirements must be
evaluated prior to installation. New water
supply line interconnection must be used
when installing this unit.
Maximum / minimum supply pressure
specication is 65PSI (450KPa) / 40PSI
(275KPa) for all system plumbing
components. See INSTALLATION OF
REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) SYSTEM
section prior to water supply interconnect.
2. IMPORTANT: A minimum clearance of 2"
(50.8mm) from the top of unit to the ceiling
must be provided. Unit may be installed
with minimal clearance on both sides of
the cabinet. A minimum clearance of 2"
from the front and back of the unit must be
provided.
3. Check the door seal and make sure both
doors close completely. If they do not
close and seal properly, refer to the DOOR
GASKET ADJUSTMENT section of this
manual.
4. The stacked unit must be mechanically
attached to wall using supplied
wall-mounting brackets. Wall-mounting
brackets are required for safe operation
of the unit. Refer to INSTALLATION
OF WALL BRACKETS section of this
manual for the instructions.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION AND
APPLICATION NOTES FOR FTU BACKFLOW
PREVENTER SYSTEM
Check with your local authority having
jurisdiction regarding approvals for connecting
the Duke Flex Tech Humidied Holding Cabinet
to a potable water supply before making
any plumbing connections. Plumbing code
requirements vary, but European Union (CE)
and other jurisdictions require a backow
prevention device that is factory-installed or
supplied. The backow prevention device used
on Duke FTU protects water supply systems
by preventing the reverse ow of non-potable
water into the potable domestic water system.
INSTALLATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO)
SYSTEM
1. The Duke Flex Tech Humidied Holding
Cabinet must be supplied with water from a
Duke Reverse Osmosis (RO) System Model
RO.
2. A single Duke RO System is able to support
up to ve Duke Flex Tech Humidied
Holding Cabinets.
3. For detailed installation instructions of the
RO system, see the instructions provided
with the Duke Reverse Osmosis System.
