Page 3 STEAM PIPING RECOMMENDATIONS IMPORTANT: INSTALL STEAM PIPING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS. 1. Machine should be level to assure proper steam and circulation. To prevent condensate draining from headers to Cabinet, piping should have a minimum riser 12" above each respective header as illustrated on next page. Do not make steam connection to header with a horizontal or downwardly facing tee or elbow. Whenever possible, horizontal runs or steam lines must drain, by gravity, to respective steam header. The steam cabinet or tunnel employs three basic principles. First, it introduces moisture to the garment during the steaming cycle (analogous to sprinkling clothes for ironing); second, it allows the moisture to penetrate into the garment during the conditioning cycle (analogous to letting the sprinkled clothes stand overnight); and third, it drys the garment with pressure and heat during the drying cycle by inflating the garment with hot air (analogous to ironing a garment). Because of the variables in the type and weight of garments and steam pressure used, it will be necessary to establish your own cycle time for steaming, conditioning and drying. The shorter the cycle times, the greater will be the number of garments finished in a given time. For convenience, it may be desirable to set the machine for longer cycle times to include all different garments. Longer cycle times will not be harmful to the garments. No more than a week should be required to select your own optimum settings. Steaming Time - For the shortest and surest moisture penetration, the moist steam setting should be selected which allows hot water to be injected along with the dry steam. The amount of water injected is dependent on the setting of the needle valve which is located near the condensate solenoid valve (see manual), usually this will be set at 1/8 to 1/4 turn open. For best results open to the maximum setting that gives a finished garment with no beads of water on the lower hem of garments at the end of the drying cycle. A setting of 15 to 60 seconds for steaming should be suitable for most garments. [. . . ] Experiment and then check the end results on the finished garments. On the tunnel models, the moisture penetration can be improved by the steam and air selector which drives the moisture inside the garment and is especially effective on garment linings. Drying Time - This setting will depend on the weight of the garment fabric, type of fabric, length of steaming cycle and length of conditioning cycle. Set this cycle long enough to insure a dry garment, perhaps 30 to 90 seconds. [. . . ]
