Set-Up:

Your oven is packed in a carton and strapped to a
skid. Remove the oven and carton from the skid
before unpacking. Unpack carefully to avoid damage
to the oven. If concealed damage is found, follow the
instructions detailed in Section 1.

Keep the area around the oven free and clear of
combustible materials. Do not store any materials on
top of or under any oven. The provision of an adequate
air supply to your oven for ventilation and proper gas
combustion is essential. As a minimum, observe the
clearances detailed in Clearances section. Provide
adequate ventilation and make up air in accordance
with local codes.

WARNING

This appliance must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the rules in force. In
the U.K. Corgi registered installers (including the
regions of British Gas) undertake to work to safe
and satisfactory standards. This appliance must
be installed in accordance with the current Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and the
relevant Building Regulations/lEE Regulations.
Detailed recommendations are contained in the
British Standard Codes Of Practice BS 6172, BS
5440:Part 2 and BS 6891.

Place the oven and parts as close as possible to the
area of final installation before un-crating.

Fit the flue diverter (See Fig.1) and the flue transition
piece into the rectangular opening located at top near
the middle rear of the oven for installing the oven
under a ventilation hood. For Direct Venting, Optional
Draft Hood (Fig. 2) must be used instead of the flue
diverter. Direct Venting not available for European
Community Countries. Local inspectors and ventilation
specialists should be consulted to make sure that the
installation of the hood conforms to the local codes
and requirements (See fig. 3). In UK ventilation
requirements as detailed in BS 5440 should be
followed.

Access to the bottom front door and left side control
panel is required for day-to-day operation of the oven
and for servicing. Make sure that these areas are kept
unobstructed for easy access.

COUNTERTOP GAS DECK OVEN OPERATION MANUAL

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Countertop Installation:

Oven is shipped with standard 4” legs installed.

(1) Move the oven to its final location keeping the

minimum clearance detailed in Clearances
section above. This clearance is essential to
provide adequate airflow to the burner chamber
and for safe operation of the oven.

(2) Level the oven by making required adjustments

to the legs.

Installation With Casters (Optional):

Four casters (two with wheel brakes) and the mounting
hardware is packed and included in the shipment if
ordered. Install casters with wheel brakes on the front of
the unit.

Figure 1

Flue Diverter
(For use w/
Collection

Figure 2

Draft Hood
(For use
w/Direct
Venting)

NOTICE

Installation should be made with a connector that
complies with the latest edition of the Standard
for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances ANSI
Z21.69 in the USA (CAN CGA -6.16 in Canada)
and a quick disconnect device that complies
with the latest edition of the Standard for Quick
Disconnect Devices for use with gas fuel ANSI
Z21.41 in the USA (CAN CGA1-6.9 in Canada)
and adequate means must be provided to limit
the movement of the appliance without depending
on the connector and any quick disconnect device
or its associated piping.

The restraint should be attached to the rear legs
of the oven on which casters are mounted. If
disconnection of the restraint is necessary to
move the oven for servicing needs, the restraint
should be reconnected after the appliance has
been returned to its originally installed position.

Deck Assembly:
Pizza Deck:

(a) Remove all packing material, samples, shims,

etc. from the baking chamber.

Figure 3

(b) Two slabs of the Pizza Deck are provided with the

oven. Each deck is wrapped separately. Remove
the wrapping and handle the decks carefully. The
material is heavy and fragile.

3

COUNTERTOP GAS DECK OVEN OPERATION MANUAL

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Slab Installation (Fig. 4):

(a) Slide one deck into the oven over the bottom

hearth pan.

(b) Slide the second deck onto the support angles on

the sides and back.

Steel Deck Installation:

Steel decks come installed in the oven from the factory
and no assembly is required. Before use, remove all
packing material and samples etc. from the baking
chamber.

GAS AND ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS:

Propane gas units are not available in the European
Community Countries.

(a) The appliance when installed, must be

electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes and/or the latest edition of the National
Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 in USA (Canadian
Electric Code CSA C22.2 in Canada).

(b) In Europe, appliance must be connected by an

earthing cable to all other units in the complete
installation and thence to an independent earth
connection in compliance with EN 60335-1 and/
or local codes

(c) The ovens should not be installed on the same

line with space heaters, boilers or other gas
equipment with high intermittent demand.

(d) Use a pipe joint compound that is resistant to

the action of liquefied petroleum gases when
making gas connections.

(e) For Propane gas, use at least 1/2” (13 mm) pipe

or tubing with a 5/8” (16 mm) inside diameter.
For Natural gas, use 3/4” (19 mm) pipe.

Figure 4

NOTICE

Use your hand to support the deck from below,
until deck is fully installed in its final position. Do
not let decks drop into position.

(f) The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its manual shut­off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2” psig (3.45kpa).

(g) The appliance and its shut-off valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2” psig (3.45kpa).

(h) The gas pressure regulator is part of the

combination valve and is adjusted to yield a
pressure of 3.5” water column (9 mbar) for
Natural Gas. If the oven is ordered for use on
Propane Gas, the pressure regulator in the
combination valve is preset at the factory to yield
a pressure of 10” water column (25 mbar). Units
for use on Propane Gas are not available for
European Community Countries.

COUNTERTOP GAS DECK OVEN OPERATION MANUAL

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(i) A separate shut-off valve for each oven must be

provided. It should be as close as possible to the
place where the gas supply line goes into the
oven. It must be located such that it is easily
accessible.

Flue Diverter
(For use w/
Collection
Hood)

Draft Hood
(For use
w/Direct
Venting)

(j) When stacking with another oven, two shut-off

valves, one for each of the two ovens, must be
provided.

CAUTION

After the Gas Supply has been connected, it is
extremely important to check all the piping for
leaks. Use a soap and water solution or a product
expressly made for this purpose. Do not use
matches, candles or a flame etc. to check leaks
since these methods are extremely dangerous

Flue Connection - Ventilation:
Installation Under Ventilation Hood (Standard):

If the oven is not vented directly and is installed under
a collection hood, use the flue diverter (fig.1) supplied.
Local inspectors and ventilation and environmental
specialists should be consulted so that the design
and the installation of the hood conforms to the local /
municipal codes (See fig.3).

Direct Venting (Optional)
Not Available For European Community Countries:

If direct venting, it is necessary to install a draft hood
(fig.2). The flue pipe from the draft hood must not run
downwards at any point from the oven to the final outlet.
It should always slant slightly upwards. For best results
it should rise straight up.

NOTICE

Do not put a damper in the flue and do not
connect a blower directly to the flue. If the flue
runs directly to the free air outside the building,
use a wind deflector or a UL listed vent cap at
the end of the flue pipe. Termination of the vent
must be at least 2 feet above the highest part
of the roof within 10 feet (Ref: American Gas
Association Catalog No. Xh0474)

Main Burner Safety Pilot Operation:

The purpose of the safety pilot system is to lock the gas
supply to the main burner at the combination valve, if
for any reason the pilot burner is not lit. Oven should be
relighted by following the steps given below. However,
in normal service, the pilot flame stays lit indefinitely,
day and night or weekends. This prolongs the life of the
safety valve.

The safety pilot valve is in effect a two-stage control.
After initial lighting, the pilot burner stays on without the
gas cock dial being held pressed in. After 1-2 minutes,
the valve opens fully to let the gas flow past the safety
pilot valve into the burner system.
