D A n G E R

FAILURE TO VENT THIS APPLIANCE PROPERLY MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO THE HEALTH OF THE OPERATOR.

Equipment damage, operational problems and unsatisfactory baking performance may also be the consequence of improper venting. Any damage sustained by a failure to properly vent this oven are not covered under warranty.

vEntIlAtIon hooDS

Proper venting along with a sufficient quantity of make-up air is essential for proper oven operation. A mechanically driven, canopy exhaust hood is the preferred method of ventilation and must conform to local codes along with the current version of NFPA-96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment (latest edition). The oven hood must extend 6" (152mm) beyond all sides of the oven. The distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the hood should be between 6'6" (1981mm) and

7' (2134mm).

Aventilation hood that supplies make-up air down the back vertical wall should be avoided since air currents can interfere with the oven flue exits. If such installation is unavoidable, an additional draft hood, specifically designed to deflect downdrafts, must be installed.

I nstal latio n

Ventilation hoods and exhaust systems shall be permitted to be used to vent appliances installed in commercial applications.

Where automatically operated appliances are vented through a ventilation hood or exhaust system equipped with a damper or with a power means of exhaust, provisions shall be made to allow the flow of gas to the main burners only when the damper is open to a position to properly vent the appliance and when the power means of exhaust is in operation. IN

ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 54 COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ONLY.

DIRECt vEntInG

When necessary, direct venting can be used in situations where space is limited or to help offset the high cost of ventilation hoods.

D A n G E R

Installation, air adjustment and/or service work must be in accordance with all local codes and must be performed by a certified service technician qualified to work on gas appliances.

Direct venting should be installed in compliance with local codes by a certified professional. in the absence of local codes, refer to National fuel Code NfPa 54, aNSi Z223.1 (latest revision).
