INSTALLATION
Accessories Furnished By Customer
GENERAL:
THE UNIT WHEN INSTALLED MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED AND COMPLY WITH LOCAL CODES, OR
IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANSE NFPA 70-1984.
CANADIAN INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH CAN1-B149 INSTALLATION CODE FOR GAS BURNING
APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT AND CSA STANDARD C22.1-CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE PART 1.
THE INSTALLATION OF STEAM PIPING FROM THE SOURCE OF SUPPLY TO THE SERVICE INLET OF THE
APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED INSTALLATION PERSONNEL EXPERIENCED IN SUCH
WORK. THE INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS OF STATE AND LOCAL
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION.
EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES: Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, kettles, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is
recommended that a canopy extend 6" past appliance and be located 6' 6" from the floor. Filters should be installed
at an angle of 45° or more with the horizontal. This position prevents the dripping of grease and facilitates collecting
the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with the filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the
room and may interfere with performance. Makeup air openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such
vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the "OFF" position.
WALL EXHAUST FAN: The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent opening at the top of the
unit.
CLEARANCES: Adequate clearance must be provided in aisle and at the side and back. Adequate clearances for
air openings, as well as for serviceability, must also be provided.
TO INSTALL:
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden freight damage to the freight company immediately.
