WARNING
There must be adequate clearance between the left side of the ovens and combustible construction..
Minimum Clearance from
Combusble Construction
Minimum Clearance from
Non-Combustible Construction
Back 0” 0”
Right Side 0” 0”
Left Side 2” 0”
Floor 0” 0”
Adequate clearance must be provided in the aisle to allow the doors to open sufficiently to permit the removal of the
racks and for serviceability.
Although no clearance is required behind the motor on the rear of the oven, care must be taken to provide adequate
air circulation to prevent the motor from overheating.
Do not locate the oven adjacent to any high heat or grease-producing piece of equipment, such as a range top,
griddle, fryer, etc., that could allow radiant heat to raise the exterior temperature of the oven above 130°F (54°C).
DO NOT MOUNT ABOVE OTHER COOKING EQUIPMENT.
WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove flue products can
cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed.
Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front or rear of the unit as combustion air
enters through these areas.
Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTICE
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the
warranty.
If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that a canopy extend 6” past the appliance and that the bottom edge be
located 6’6” from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This position prevents
dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, unusually installed with a filter.
If an exhaust fan is used, it should be installed at least 2” above the flue opening at the top of the unit. A strong exhaust
fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance. Fresh air openings approximately
equal to the fan area will relieve such a vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the
appliance with the exhaust fan in the “OFF” position. Do this only long enough to check equipment performance. Then
turn the exhaust fan back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
If the oven flue is connected directly to an outside flue, a CSA International design certified down draft diverter must be
installed at the flue outlet of the oven and connected to the outside flue.
