Installation
connection(s). Provide 24” clearance at the front for cleaning, maintenance, service and proper operation.
AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION
• The area in front of, around and above the appliance must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow
of combustion and ventilation air.
• Adequate clearance must be maintained around the appliance for easy servicing.
•
Provisions should be made for any commercial, heavy duty cooking appliance to have it its exhaust
combustion waste products released to the outside of the building. The usual practice is to place the
appliance under an exhaust hood, which should be constructed in accordance with local codes.
•
Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce a slight vacuum in
the room and / or cause air drafts, either of which can interfere with the pilot or burner performance and
could be difficult to diagnose. Air movement should be checked during installation. Air openings or baffles
may have to be provided in the room, if pilot or burner outrage problem persists.
GAS CONNECTION
• The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. The
appliances use a 3/4” NPT inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to natural gas. This range uses
NG56 connections for gas nozzles.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
•
This installer supplied valve must be in the gas service line ahead of the appliance regulator in the gas
stream and in a position accessible in the event of an emergency.
CONNECTIONS
•
Please check installer supplied intake pipes visually and / or blow them with compressed air to clear any
dirt particles, threading chips or any other foreign matter before installing a service line. When gas pressure
is applied, these particles could clog nozzles. All connections must be sealed with a joint compound
suitable for natural gas, and all connections must be tested with a soapy water solution before lighting any
pilots.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
• Commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and
efficient operation, since service pressures may fluctuate on local demand. A pressure regulator is packed
inside every Cooking Performance Group appliance.
• FAILURE TO INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR WILL VOID THE APPLIANCE WARRANTY.
•
The regulators supplied along with Cooking Performance Group appliances, will have 1/2” inlet/outlet
openings and are adjusted at the factory for 5” WC (natural gas).
•
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as these regulators can only withstand
a maximum pressure of 1/2 psi (14” WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down regulator will
