Topics:

  • Connect a plumbing water line to a Convection Steam Oven (CSO)
  • Does a CSO require a drain?
  • Can the CSO be plumbed?
  • CSO Plumbed model vs. Non-Plumbed model
  • Maximum drain water temperature

Answer:

The Wolf Convection Steam Oven (CSO) comes in a plumbed model or non-plumbed model. 

Non-Plumbed (CSO) Model:

  • Does not require a plumbed water line.
  • Requires cold tap water that is poured directly into the water tank by hand.
  • It is not possible to connect a water line to the non-plumbed CSO.
  • Does not require a drain.

Plumbed (CSOP) Model:

  • Requires a plumbed water line.
  • Uses home water supply for steam cooking. 
  • Includes a gravity drain for evacuating water after each use. 
  • The drain connection must be able to withstand temperatures up to 130°F (55°C).
  • The diameter of the drain hose is 1".
  • Water tank is used only for descaling. 
  • It is not possible to remove plumbing from plumbed CSO. 
    • IMPORTANT NOTE: The drain location can vary, but must be within reach of the corrugated tubing.
    • Do not extend or reduce the drain tubing. 
      • The length of the drain tube helps the water to cool to an acceptable level before entering the home drain pipe.
      • It is also necessary to prevent any backflow (liquids or odors) to the product if there were to be any blockage at the drain or the bottom of the line.
      • The installation specifications assume the product is installed at eye level. 
        • If installed lower or undercounter, the drain hose may need to be snaked back and forth along the back wall if there is room.
        • The excess hose can also be looped on the bottom of the cabinet and back up to the high loop.
    • A drain line high loop is required.
  • Follow local building codes and a plumber can determine any additional needs.
  • For plumbed model installation information, refer to Convection Steam Oven Installation Guide.
