Location and Ventilation
LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your
appliance will result in long term operator conve-
nience a nd satisfactory p erformance.
The following clearances must be maintained be-
tween the unit and any combustible or non-com-
bustible construction.
BC-20G
D Right side of unit --- 6” (15 cm)
D Left side of unit --- 6” (15 cm)
D Back of unit --- 6” (15 cm)
The following clearances are recommended, but
not required, for servicing.
D Left side of unit --- 12” (30 cm)
D Back of unit --- 12” (30 cm)
Pl ace the unit in an area which i s free of drafts and
accessible for proper operation and servicing.
Keep the operating area free and clear of all com-
bustibles such as paper, cardboard, and flam-
mable liquids and solvents.
DO NOT place the unit on a curb base or seal to
the wall; either condition will prevent proper venti-
lation to the blower motors. Slight unevenness can
be corrected w ith the a djustable legs.
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated by
the manufacturer; there is no need for additional
lubrication during the operational l ifetime of the
motors.
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 at 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.
