Location and Ventilation

LOCATION

The well planned and proper placement of your appliance will result in long term operator conve- nience and satisfactory performance.

The following clearances must be maintained be- tween the unit and any combustible or non-com- bustible construction.

BC-20G

DRight side of unit --- 6” (15 cm) D Left side of unit --- 6” (15 cm) D Back of unit --- 6” (15 cm)

The following clearances are recommended, but not required, for servicing.

DLeft side of unit --- 12” (30 cm) D Back of unit --- 12” (30 cm)

Place the unit in an area which is free of drafts and accessible for proper operation and servicing.

Keep the operating area free and clear of all com- bustibles such as paper, cardboard, and flam- mable liquids and solvents.

DO NOT place the unit on a curb base or seal to the wall; either condition will prevent proper venti- lation to the blower motors. Slight unevenness can be corrected with the adjustable legs.

All motor bearings are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer; there is no need for additional lubrication during the operational lifetime of the motors.

VENTILATION

The necessity for a properly designed and in- stalled ventilation system cannot be over empha- sized. The ventilation system will allow the unit to function properly while removing unwanted va- pors and products of combustion from the operat- ing area.

The appliance must be vented with a properly de- 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 provi- 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 dam- age to the equipment. Damage sustained as a direct result of improper ventilation will not be covered by the Manufacturer’s warranty.
