• 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.
• Requires a drain 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 - both the water line and drain line - from a 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.
