SERVICE CONNECTIONS
Water Connections
No water supply connections are required, as
the steamer is lled manually.
Water Treatment
A local water treatment specialist should
be consulted before installation of steam
generating equipment.
Hardness* No more than 3 grains
Silica less than 13 ppm
Total Chlorine less than 4.0 ppm
PH range 6.5 to 8
Undissolved Solids less than 5 microns
*17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness
If the water supply fails to meet these standards,
it will be necessary to install a water conditioner.
The use of strainers or lters will not remove
minerals from the water.
Water Requirements
Proper water quality can improve the taste of
the food prepared in the steamer, reduce liming
in the steam generator and extend equipment
life. Water conditions vary from one location
to another. Ask your municipal water supplier
for details about your local water supply prior
to installation. Presence of sediment, silica,
excess chlorides or other dissolved solids may
lead to a recommendation for alternate form(s)
of water treatment. Test the water with the test
strip included with the steamer. Other factors
affecting steam generation are iron content,
amount of chloridation and dissolved gases.
Drain Connection
The C24EO can be congured to drain through
either the rear panel or through the bottom
base plate.
The unit is congured to be drained through the
rear panel from the factory. The unit is supplied
with a 12" length of
5

insufcient, remove the hose and install a new
hose ordered to the desired length. The factory
5
/8" ID silicone hose part number is 557475.
