1.
A single gas Combitherm oven requires a
minimum of 28 CFM make-up air for natural and
propane gas. Kitchen ventilation must include a
provision for an adequate flow of fresh air for
gas combustion and to prevent a negative-
pressure condition. The bottom of the oven
provides air supply access for gas combustion
and must be kept clear at all times.
DO NOT
obstruct or restrict ventilation nor the
air flow required to support combustion.
2. DO NOT
obstruct the flow of the exhaust flue at
the top rear of the oven. It is especially critical
that gas supply piping and electrical support
cord and/or receptacle be routed away from the
path of the hot combustion fumes.
3.
Make certain the oven installation maintains
adequate air ventilation to provide cooling for
electrical and gas components. The area around
the oven should be clear of any obstructions
which might retard the flow of cooling air.
Failure to observe this caution may result in
damage to the components and will void the
warranty.
4.
This oven cannot be direct vented.
5.
Install the oven under a ventilation hood meeting
all applicable code requirements. Combustion
fumes must be vented in accordance with local,
state, or national codes.
Ventilating hoods and exhaust systems shall be
permitted to be used to vent appliances installed in
commercial applications.
Where automatically operated appliances are vented
through a ventilating hood or exhaust system equipped
with a damper or with a power means of exhaust,
provisions shall be made to allow the flow of gas to the
main burners only when the damper is open to a position
to properly vent the appliance and when the power means
of exhaust is in operation. IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 54
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ONLY .
An adequate ventilation system is required for
commercial cooking equipment. Information may be
obtained by writing to the National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
When writing refer to NFPA No. 96.
D A N G E R
Installation, air adjustment and/or
service work must be in accordance
with all local codes and must be
performed by a certified service
technician qualified to work on
gas appliances.
D A N G E R
FAILURE TO VENT THIS APPLIANCE
PROPERLY MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO
THE HEALTH OF THE OPERATOR.
Equipment damage, operational
problems and unsatisfactory baking
performance may also be the
consequence of improper venting.
Any damage sustained by a failure to
properly vent this oven are not
covered under warranty.
C A U T I O N
DO NOT USE CIRCULATING FANS
ON THE FLOOR. FLOOR FANS WILL
AFFECT BURNER OPERATION.
C A U T I O N
To prevent malfunction or cause
negative back draft, DO NOT obstruct
exhaust flues or attach any flue
extension that will impede proper
burner operation.
W A R N I N G
Inadequate ventilation, or failure to
ensure an adequate supply of fresh
air will result in a high ambient
temperature at the rear of the
appliance. An excessive ambient
temperature can cause the thermal-
overload protection device on the
blower motor to trip resulting in severe
damage to the blower motor.
