INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SERVICE PERSONNEL
Installation of the equipment should be performed by qualified, certified, licensed and/or authorized personnel who are experienced
in state/local installation codes.
Operation of the equipment should be performed by qualified or authorized personnel who have read this manual and understand
and are familiar with the functions of the equipment.
Service of the equipment should be performed by qualified personnel who are knowledgeable with American Range products.
VENTILATION HOODS
A ventilation exhaust hood must be provided for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking appliance to exhaust combustion waste
products to the outside of the building. Usual practice is to place the unit under an exhaust hood. Filters and drip troughs should be
part of any industrial hood. Consult local codes before constructing and installing a hood.
Room air movement should be monitored during installation. Strong exhaust fans in the hood or in the overall air conditioning
system can produce a slight vacuum in the room and/or cause air drafts – either may interfere with the pilot or main burner
performance and can also be hard to diagnose. If pilot burner or main burner outage problems persist – make up air openings or
baffles may have to be provided in the room.
