are familiar and experienced with local installation codes.
Before installation please red instructions completely and carefully.
Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings or plates from unit.
Important Information:
Please observe all local and national codes and ordinances. Installation must conform with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation must
conform to installation codes for gas burning appliances and equipment standard CAN/CGA-B149.1 or
the Propane installation code CAN/CGA-B149.2 as applicable.
A manual gas shut off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the unit and gas pressure
regulator for safety and ease in servicing.
The gas pressure regulator supplied must be installed on the unit prior to connecting the equipment to
the gas line. Failure to install a regulator could be potentially hazardous and will void warranty.
The unit and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing for that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI.
The unit must be isolated from gas supply piping system, by closing its individual manual shut off valve
during and pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 PSI.

Air Supply and Ventilation:
The area in front of, around and above the appliance must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the
flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance must be maintained at all times in front and
at the sides of the appliances for servicing and proper operation.
Means must be provided for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking appliance to exhaust combustion
waste products to the outside of the building. Usual practice is to place the unit under an exhaust hood.
Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood. Consult local codes before constructing
and installing a hood.
Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce a slight vacuum in
the room and/or cause air drafts, either of which can interfere with pilot or burner performance and can
also be hard to diagnose. Air movement should be checked during installation; if pilot or burner outage
problems persist, make-up air openings or baffles may have to be provided in the room.
Disclaimer:
All MARKET FORGE INDUSTRIES, INC. appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory,
effectively matching them to sea level conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure proper
operation may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions; low gas characteristics, to correct
possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment, and are to be performed only
by qualified service personnel. These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and/or dealer
and are not covered by our warranty.

INSTALLATION
UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO THE TYPE OF GAS IDENTIFIED ON THE RATING PLATE!
READ BEFORE INSTALLING
Clearance:
When installing against combustible surfaces; rear and sides - 4” (102mm) clearance is required. When
installing ovens against non-combustible surfaces (rear or side walls) 0” clearance is required.
The area around the appliance must be kept free and clear of combustibles such as solvents, cleaning
liquid, broom, rags, etc. Proper clearances must be provided at the front of the appliance for servicing
and proper operation.
Rating Plate:
The rating plate is located in front of the range below the oven section. Information on this plate
includes the model, and serial number, BTU / hour input of the burners, operating gas pressure in inches
WC, and whether the appliance is orificed for Natural or Propane gas. Pilot lighting instructions are also
located in the same area.
Gas Connection:
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of appliance. Oven uses
a 3/4” NPT inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas. Specify type of gas and altitude if
over 2,000 feet when ordering.
Manual Shut-Off Valve:
This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line ahead of the appliance and
regulator in the gas stream and in a position accessible in the event of an emergency.
Pressure Regulator:
Gas pressure regulator provided with the equipment must be installed when the appliance is connected
to gas supply.
All commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe
and efficient operation, since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand. The pressure regulator
comes with the oven. Failure to install the pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty!
The regulators supplied with MARKET FORGE INDUSTRIES, INC. Ovens, have 3/4” inlet /outlet openings
and are adjusted at the factory for 5” WC (Natural gas) or 10” WC (Propane gas) depending on
customer’s ordering instructions.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as these regulators can only
withstand a maximum pressure of ½ PSI (14”WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down
regulator will be required. The arrow shown on the bottom of the regulator body shows gas flow
direction; it should point downstream to the appliance. The red air vent cap on the top regulator is part
of the regulator and should not be removed.

Any adjustments to regulators must be made only by qualified service personnel with the proper
Before lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!
Putting an open flame beside a new gas connection is extremely dangerous.
DO NOT USE APPLIANCE DURING PROLONGED POWER FAILURE AS THE VENT HOOD MAY NOT BE IN
OPERATION RESULTING IN INADEQUATE VENTING!
CAUTION: When lighting pilots and checking for leaks, do not stand with your face close to the
combustion chamber.
Check all gas connections for leaks with a soapy water solution before lighting any pilots.
equipment.
Dimensions:
Connections:
Please check installer-supplied intake pipes visually and /or blow them out with compressed air to clear
any dirt particles, threading chips, or other foreign matter before installing a service line. When gas
pressure is applied these particles can clog orifices. All connections must be sealed with a joint
compound suitable for LP gas, and all connections must be tested with a soapy water solution before
lighting any pilots!

MAINTENANCE
If the appliance is on casters and is connected to the supply piping by means of a connector for movable
appliances, there is a restraining device at the rear of the unit. If disconnection of the restraint is
necessary, reconnect the restraint after the appliance has been returned to its originally installed
position.
CAUTION: Never use Ammonia in an Oven that is warmer than room temperature and always have
direct ventilation.
Daily Cleaning:
1. Remove large pieces of food residues and carefully scrape spill lovers from drip tray below the
cooking surface.
2. Wash all exterior and interior surfaces with hot soapy water solution. Do not use any abrasives
on any other portion of the stainless steel surface.
3. Cast iron grates should be scraped frequently with a wire brush and periodically soaked in soapy
hot water to remove grease particles. Never expose the grates to excessive heat for the purpose
of burning excess grease. This practice could shorten the useful life of the grates.
4. Infra-red burners available on cheesmelters and Salamanders are self-cleaning. The use of any
solvents or wire brushes nay damage tiles.
5. For charbroilers use lava rock. This pumice rock is highly porous and relatively self-cleaning. The
lava rock should be turned over about every week depending upon the amount of cooking and
type of food prepared.
High heat will effectively clean and burn off grease. A loosely placed lower layer of rock will
serve as an effective base. About one half layer of rock should be added to compensate for hot
pots. Over filling the char broiler will obstruct proper air flow creating poor combustion and
uneven heating pattern and will ultimately shorten the useful life of cast iron bottom grates and
burners. As the lava rock disintegrates over a period of time it needs replacement.
Periodic Cleaning:
Remove burner and clean with warm water and wire brush. Make sure the ports are not clogged. Check
valves and lubricate, if necessary. Consult your service agency or local Gas Company.
Cleaning Stainless Steel:
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water during the day and with a
liquid cleaner designed for this material at the end of each day.
DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners or powders to clean stainless surfaces! If it is
necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak in hot water to loosen the
material; then use a wood or nylon scraper.
DO NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches are
almost impossible to remove.
