Standard connections through the back panel can be converted to bottom connections as follows:
Removing the (4) 10-32 screws that support the bottom heat shield.
Removing the 1/2” gas line extension before the Gas Pressure Regulator and
adapter fitting (1/2” NPT x 3.8” ODF if present on LP Systems)
Removing the exterior electrical cable Strain Relief.
Feeding the electrical plug through the back panel downward.
Installing a new flexible gas line with appropriate fittings to the Gas Pressure Reg-
ulator and routing it downwards.
Re-installing the 10-32 screws to secure the bottom heat shield.
When considering installing the gas supply through the bottom of a non-combustible countertop, it is
recommended to have a 4” diameter hole located on the countertop for piping and electrical require-
ments.
The center of the 4” Ø hole should be located approximately 3” from the back panel and 3” from the right
side of the oven base. Keep in mind the final location, clearance to non-combustible materials and free
exhaust clearances required for the Pizza Oven when locating such access hole.
It is highly recommended that the 4” Ø hole be constructed in such manner as to provide a 3/8” raised
lip to prevent water or spills on the countertop from falling into the under-counter section. Refer to the
ARTP-PZA Specification sheet for additional information.
It is recommended to install an access door such as
Artisan
™
double sided doors, in order to reach
the LP Gas Tank or the NG Supply Gas Line shut-off valve as well as the GFCI receptacle to disconnect
power to the Pizza Oven.
Refer to Page 12 for ANSI Z21.89-2013 / CSA 1.18-2013 guidelines for proper ventilation requirements
when using LP cylinders in an enclosure.
LEAK TESTING:
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on your
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven are leak tested at the factory prior to ship-
ment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishan-
dling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING:
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the oven.
Make sure the Burners are properly seated in the oven .
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.
Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle, or brush.
For LP units, always check with a full cylinder.
