DRAIN CONNECTION

IMPORTANT NOTE: The steamer module must be installed with a drain connection and access to the drain through the base cabinet. For the drain connection, the 5/8″ (16) outlet from the valve will accept a drain hose that must flow downward to and tie into an existing sink drain or a separate drain with a freefall may be installed. Following local building codes, your plumber will dictate how to plumb the unit. As a third option, the consumer will supply a heat-resistant bucket for drainage in the location of the drain outlet. Refer to the illustration for the location of the drain outlet.

WARNING: If there is no fixed drain connection, use a heat-resistant receptacle with a minimum 21/2-gallon (7.6 L) capacity. The doors of the base cabinet must be locked.

MULTIPLE COOKTOP INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the steamer module is to be used with a combination of additional cooktop units or modules with a filler strip, the cut-out width is calculated by adding the corresponding units’ cut-out dimensions plus 11/4″ (32) for each additional unit.
When multiple units are installed side by side, each unit must have its own separate recommended electrical circuit.
When two or more modules are installed together, an integrated module filler strip (IFILLER/S) is recommended. If a downdraft system is also installed, integrated module support for downdraft ventilation (SUPPORT) is required (Model DD30 only). Contact your Wolf dealer for information on accessories.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Review specific installation instructions for product-to- product capabilities.

WARNING: This steamer module must be installed at least 15″ (381) away from a Wolf fryer module, as contact between water and hot oil may cause burns from steam and hot oil.
