Oven Location and Ventilation
OVEN LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your
oven will result in long term operator convenience
and satisfactory performance.
Certain minimum clearances must be maintained
between the oven and any combustible or non-
combustible construction. See the table below.
In addition, the following clearances are recom-
mended for servicing.
D Oven body sides --- 12” (30cm)
D Oven body back --- 12” (30cm)
NOTE: On gas models, routine servicing can usu-
ally be accomplished within the limited
movement provided by the gas hose re-
straint. If the oven needs to be moved fur-
ther from the wall, the gas must first be
turned off and disconnected from the oven
before removing the restraint. Reconnect
the restraint after the oven has been re-
turned to its normal position.
Left Side Heat Shield
Heat sources should not be near the air vents lo-
cated on the left hand side of the gas appliance.
Consult the factory for optional protective side
heat shield.

VENTILATION
The necessity for a properly designed and in-
stalled ventilation system cannot be over empha-
sized. The ventilation system will allow the unit to
function properly while removing unwanted va-
pors and products of combustion from the operat-
ing area.
The a ppliance must be vented with a properly de-
signed mechanically driven exhaust hood. The
hood should be sized to completely cover the
equipment plus an overhang of a t least 6” (15 cm)
on all sides not adjacent to a wall. The capacity of
the hood should be sized appropriately and provi-
sions made for adequate makeup air.
WARNING!!
Failure to properly vent the oven can be
hazardous to the health of the operator;
and will result in operational problems,
unsatisfactory baking, and possible dam-
age to the equipment. Damage sustained
as a direct result of improper ventilation
will not be covered by the Manufacturer’s
warranty.
