Location and Ventilation
LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your
appliance will result in long term operator conveĆ
nience and satisfactory performance.
The following clearances must be maintained beĆ
tween the unit, including hose assemblies, and any
combustible or nonĆcombustible construction.
D
Ovens with casters - 6" (15 cm)
D
Ovens without casters - 12" (30 cm)
The following clearances are recommended, but
not required, for servicing.
D
Oven body sides - 12" (30 cm)
D
Oven body back - 12" (30 cm)
Place the unit in an area which is free of drafts and
accessible for proper operation and servicing.
Keep the oven area free and clear of all combusĆ
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and flammable
liquids and solvents.
DO NOT place the oven on a curb base or seal to
the wall; either condition will prevent proper ventiĆ
lation to the blower motors. Slight unevenness can
be corrected with the adjustable legs.
The air vents on the left side of the unit must be
protected from heat and steam or water sources.
Consult the factory for an optional protective side
heat shield kit if excessive ambient heat or steam
is present on the left side of the unit.

On all models, tripping the blower motor's thermal
overload device indicates an excessive ambient
temperature at the back of the oven. This must be
corrected to prevent permanent damage to the
oven. All motor bearings are permanently lubriĆ
cated by the manufacturer; there is no need for
additional lubrication during the operational lifeĆ
time of the motors.
VENTILATION
The necessity for a properly designed and inĆ
stalled ventilation system cannot be over emphaĆ
sized. The ventilation system will allow the unit to
function properly while removing unwanted vaĆ
pors and products of combustion from the operatĆ
ing area.
The appliance must be vented with a properly deĆ
signed mechanically driven exhaust hood. The
hood should be sized to completely cover the
equipment plus an overhang of at least 6" (15 cm)
on all sides not adjacent to a wall. The capacity of
the hood should be sized appropriately and proviĆ
sions made for adequate makeup air.
WARNING!!
Failure to properly vent the oven can be
hazardous to the health of the operator;
and will result in operational problems,
unsatisfactory baking, and possible damĆ
age to the equipment. Damage sustained
as a direct result of improper ventilation
will not be covered by the Manufacturer's
warranty.
