225° angle If the oven is furnished with the retractable door option, allow a minimum clearance of

6-1/2 inches (165mm).

qAllow a minimum clearance of 4-inches (102mm) from the back of the oven for plumbing connections.

qAllow a 20-inch (500mm) clearance at the top of the oven for free air movement and for the steam vent(s) located at the top.

qDo not install the oven adjacent to heat producing equipment such as fryers, broilers, etc. Heat from such appliances may cause damage to the controls of the Combitherm. Minimum clearance recommended:

20-inches (500mm)

Place the Combitherm oven on a stable, non-combustible level horizontal surface. For countertop

models, the oven stand must be level. Level

from front-to-back and side-to-side by means of the adjustable legs. In addition, the overall

height of the oven should be positioned so the operating controls and shelves may be conveniently reached from the front.

When placing a countertop model on an oven stand, position the oven legs on the outside of the positioning pins.
