MODELS VSX5G, VSX5GC, VSX7GC & VSX10GC GAS CONVECTION STEAMERS The VSX5G, VSX5GC, VSX7GC and VSX10GC gas-fired convection steamers have one or two pressureless steaming compartments for cooking vegetables, eggs and other foods.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS In the United States, the steamer must be installed in accordance with: 1. State and local codes. 2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition), available from the American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209. 3.
