NATURAL GAS CONNECTION: (cont.)
Ensure that the service pipe supplying the oven is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned
and easily accessible as an emergency gas shutoff.
Your
Alfresco
™ Pizza Oven for use with Natural Gas comes equipped with its own regulator which
MUST NOT be removed.
If this regulator needs to be replaced use only the type specified by
Alfresco
™ for this appliance.
To connect hose assembly follow the next steps:
•
Locate the regulator and gas connection point in the rear left side of your Oven unit.
•
Fasten the hose connection to a 1/2” MPT x 1/2” COMP (compression flare fitting) connected to
the elbow. (See Figure # 5 on previous page).
Connect flare fitting to gas supply using a 1/2” Ø minimum flexible stainless steel gas hose, no more
than 48” in length.
COUNTERTOP INSTALLATIONS:
Because of the
Alfresco
™ Pizza Oven’s unique countertop design, it is possible to install the gas
supply (NG or LP) from a location below the counter. The oven is constructed with an opening at the
bottom heat shield to facilitate connections. (See figure # 6)
Standard connections through the back panel can be con-
verted to bottom connections as follows:
•
Removing the 3/8” (LP) or 1/2” (NG) Brass compression
fitting on the back,
•
Rotating down the 90° 1/2” elbow immediately behind
the back panel,
•
Re-installing the appropriate size compression fitting for
a flexible hose connections, or…
•
Hard-piping the oven with 1/2” NPT piping.
