INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking the oven, check for possible shipping damage. If this oven is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service and type of gas (natural or propane) agree with the specifications on the oven data plate, located on the inside of the bottom front cover.

Do not use the doors or their handle to lift the oven.

LOCATION

The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Maintain clearances from combustible or non-combustible construction for at least 6" (152mm) from the side and 6" (152mm) from the back of the oven. The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.

The oven must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow for that required for combustion of gas at the oven burners.
