SAFETY AND PLUMBING CODES.
Wa er Requiremen s
Proper water qua ity can improve the taste of
the food prepared in the steamer, reduce iming
in the steam generator and extend equipment
ife. Water conditions vary from one ocation to
another. Ask your municipa water supp ier for
detai s about your oca water supp y prior to
insta ation. Presence of sediment, si ica, excess
ch orides or other disso ved so ids may ead to
a recommendation for a ternate form(s) of water
treatment. Test the water with the test strip
inc uded with the steamer. Other factors
affecting steam generation are iron content,
amount of ch oridation and disso ved gases.
Wa er Trea men
A oca water treatment specia ist shou d be
consu ted before insta ation of steam generating
equipment.

Undisso ved So ids ess than 5 microns
*17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness
If the water supp y fai s to meet these standards,
it wi be necessary to insta a water conditioner on
the generator water feed. The use of strainers or
fi ters wi not remove minera s from the water.
Wa er Supply Connec ion
Connect the treated co d water supp y ine to
the 3/4" (19 mm) (ma e hose thread) in et.
Connect the untreated co d water supp y ine to
the
3/4" (19 mm) (ma e hose thread) in et marked
UNTREATED WATER.
A water fi ter system is recommended for the
water supp y ine going to the treated water
in et. Fo ow the recommendations for use and
insta ation instructions shipped with the water
fi ter. If a water fi ter is not insta ed, the steam
generator warranty may be imited.
A manua shutoff va ve must be provided in a
convenient ocation near the steamer.
Fil er Sys em
If you decide to not insta a sca e-reducing fi ter
system designed for steam equipment or use
another manufacturer’s system other than that
recommended by Vu can Hart, p ease use these
guide ines.
• If you are going to de ime the unit with a
de iming agent recommended for a
pressure steam boi er and stain ess stee
generators, and you are on city or treated
we water, you sti must have a carbon
b ock fi ter insta ed and maintained.
Carbon b ock fi ters remove the ch orine
and ch oramine disinfectants from the
water. Ch orine and ch oramines wi
erode the boi er or steam generator and
wi resu t in a vesse fai ure, which is not
covered under warranty.
• Water feed ines to the steamer must be
f ushed before fina connection. Partic es

• If you have purchased a water fi tration
system from Vu can Hart, p ease fo ow
the instructions provided with the water
fi tration system. At the time of insta ation
you must register your steamer at
www.vu canhart.com/fi terreg or use the
rep y card supp ied with your unit. You wi
need to register your steamer at each
fi ter change to ensure your standard and
extended warranty is maintained.
Drain Connec ion
The 11/2" NPT threaded fitting on the condenser
box must be extended a minimum of 12" (305
mm) - maximum of 72" (1829 mm) away from
steamer base, to an open air gap type drain (see
Figure 1). Do not reduce the 11/2" NPT drain
piping throughout its ength. Provide a suitab e
f oor sink with a minimum depth of 12" (305
mm). The f oor sink is NOT to be direct y under
the steamer and shou d be at a distance so that
steam vapors wi not enter the steamer from
underneath. The drain shou d s ope down away
from the steamer 1/4" for every foot of drain pipe
ength. The drain pipe shou d be either iron or
copper. DO NOT use PVC pipe; PVC pipe may
ose its rigidity or g ue may fai . A 11/2" air gap is
required for the drain.
CAUTION: In order o avoid any back
pressure in he s eamer, do
no make a solid connec ion o
any drain. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN DAMAGE THE STEAMER
AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
Figure 1
Temperatures in the drain can brief y reach as
high as 212°F (100°C). Loca codes may require
that the temperature of drain water be no greater
than 140°F (60°C). At the end of the day, when
purging the generator, some provision for
owering the water temperature must be provided
by the user or insta er to meet this code
requirement.
