OVEN LOCATION

The well planned and proper placement of your oven will result in
long term operator convenience and satisfactory performance.

• Proper clearance must be kept on both the left and right of the
cabinet, allowing proper ventilation to the cooling fans. As the oven
achieves heat, latent heat will build inside the control panel area.
Cooling fans assure that these temperatures are kept to a minimal.
If proper clearance of these vents are NOT kept, heat will quickly
build up. The thermal protectors will trip, shutting the unit down.
Improper installation, or failure to keep proper clearance will void
warranty.

• Keep the oven area free and clear of all combustibles such as
paper, cardboard, and flammable liquids and solvents, as these
materials may ignite and become a fire / safety hazard.

• Agency regulations may require 6” clearance on the bottom and
sides of the unit for cleaning. Do not place the oven on a curb base
or seal to a wall. Please check with your local health code agencies
to assure proper placement of your unit, as local codes may vary.

• Before making any utility connections to this oven, check the
rating plate to be sure the oven specifications are compatible with

the electrical services supplied for the oven. Please review all
installation instructions, electrical requirements and connection to
power.

INSTALLATION

Installation must conform with all Local and National installation
standards. Local installation codes and / or requirements may vary.
If you have any questions regarding the proper installation and / or
operation of your oven, please contact your local distributor.
If you do not have a local distributor, please call your local
FWE representative, government agency, qualified electrical
contractor or Health Department to verify your local standards.
