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.
V ENTILATION
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.
E LECTRICAL S UPPLY
Convection ovens require connection to a supply of electricity. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically ground-
ed in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or
the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. An electrical diagram is located on the side of the control panel
assembly (see drawing on page 37). Electrical diagrams can also be found in this manual beginning on page 37.
Ovens ordered with the 120V power option are equipped with one or two power cords with a standard 120V single-phase
plug with a ground prong. Single-deck ovens will have one power cord; double-deck ovens will have two.
Ovens with other power options have a terminal block on the rear of the oven that must be wired to the power supply.
Depending on how the power supply is connected to the terminal block, the oven can operate on either single-phase of
three-phase power.
