TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When gas supply pressure exceeds
1
/
2
psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its
individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system.
When gas supply pressure is 1/
2
psig(3.45kPa) or less, the range should be
isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve until the range is ready for start-up.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue
located on the rear of the range. It is recommended that the flue gases be
ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by
qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a
minimum clearance of 18" (457 mm) must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be
obtained from the standard for the "Removal of Vapors from Commercial Cooking
Equipment”, NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from The National Fire
Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
