After wiring and power connection has been completed, turn the main power switch to the “O N” position. The main power switch can be left “ON”

for daily use, but should be turned “OF F” when cleaning or performing maintenance or repairs to the rotisserie.

REGARDING INTERNATIONAL STANDARD UNITS:

If the unit is not equipped with flexible cord with plug, an all-pole country approved disconnection device which has a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring for disconnection. When using a cord without a plug, the green/yellow conductor shall be connected to the terminal which is marked with the ground symbol. If a plug is used, the socket outlet must be easily accessible. If the power cord needs replacement, use a similar one obtained from the distributor.

For 230V units: To prevent an electrical shock hazard between the appliance and other appliances or metal parts in close vicinity, an equalization-bonding stud is provided. An equalization bonding lead must be connected to this stud and the other appliances / metal parts to provide sufficient protection against potential difference. The terminal is marked with the following symbol.

NOTE: The AR-7VH Ventless Hood cannot be installed

when a rotisserie is positioned at the bottom of the stacking combination.

Only screws, lock washers, and hex nut are required to fasten units together when stacking a rotisserie on top of a matching holding cabinet. Additional stacking hardware is required for all other combinations (SEE PREVIOUS PAGE). All fastening holes have been prepunched. If the rotisserie oven is positioned at the bottom of a stacked configuration, make certain the oven is on a non-combustible surface. The stacking combination also requires the minimum clearance of 6-inches (152mm) at the back and both sides.

Remove the two side access panels of both units.

 Inside the left side of the upper unit, install the exhaust

tube weldment routing it out the top of the upper unit and then mating it with the exhaust vent of the lower unit. Apply Red RTV to seal where the weldment couples with the lower exhaust vent. (SEE BELOW)
