Installation

Gas Connection

GAs hosE REsTRAINT
If the oven is mounted on casters, a commercial flexible

connector with a minimum of 3/4” (1.9 cm) inside diam-

eter must be used along with a quick connect device.
The restraint, supplied with the oven, must be used to limit

the movement of the unit so that no strain is placed upon

the flexible connector. With the restraint fully stretched the

connector should be easy to install and quick connect.
The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be 1,000 lb.

(453 kg) test load and should be attached without damag-

ing the building. DO NOT use the gas piping or electrical

conduit for the attachment of the permanent end of the

restraint! Use anchor bolts in concrete or cement block.

On wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag screws into the

studs of the wall.
1. Mount the supplied bracket to the leg bolt just below

the gas inlet.

2. Attach the clip on restraining cable to the mounting

bracket.

WARNING!!

If the restraint is disconnected for any rea-

son it must be reconnected when the oven is

returned to its original position.

U.s. and Canadian installations
The connector must comply with the Standard for Con-

nectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or

Connectors For Moveable Gas Appliances CAN/CGA-

6.16 and a quick disconnect device that complies with the

Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas

Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or Quick Disconnect For Use With Gas

Fuel CAN 1-6.9. Adequate means must be provided to

limit the movement of the appliance without depending

on the connection and the quick disconnect device or its

associated piping.

cal and National installation standards. Local installation
