®
INSTALLATION
Emissions testing conducted by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc.®was found to be in compliance
with the applicable requirements of NFPA96: 2004
Edition, Par. 4.1.1.2. U.L emissions sampling
of grease laden vapor resulted in a total of 0.55
milligrams per cubic meter with no visible smoke
and is considered representative of all oven models
in the line. Based on these results, hood installation
and/or outside venting should not be a requirement
in most areas. Verify local codes for locations where
more restrictive codes are applicable.

STACKING INSTRUCTIONS
1) If the two appliances were shipped together from the factory, the top unit will have the casters
already removed. A stacking kit will be included with the shipment.
If casters need to be removed: lay the unit on its back, and remove the set screw on each caster. Pull the casters
out of the unit.
2) While appliance is laid on its back, insert one stacking post in each of the four corners of the
upper unit. Secure the stacking posts using one screw and two flat washers that come with the
stacking kit.
Note: The fl ange on the stacking posts must face the outside of the unit.
3) Remove the four top mounting screws from the lower unit. Place the upper appliance, which has
the stacking posts installed, on top of the bottom unit. Center the top unit from front to back.
Re-install the four screws through the flange of the four stacking posts.

SITE INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
A number of adjustments are associated with
initial installation and start-up. It is important
that these adjustments be conducted by a qualified
service technician. Installation and start-up
adjustments are the responsibility of the dealer
or user. These adjustments include but are not
limited to thermostat calibration, door adjustment,
leveling, electrical hook-up and installation of
optional casters or legs.
LEVELING
Level the oven
from side-to-side and front-to-back
with the use of a spirit level. For ovens installed
with casters, it is important that the installation
surface be level due to the probability of frequent
oven repositioning.
We recommend checking the level of the oven
periodically to make certain the floor has not
shifted nor the oven moved.
NOTE: Failure to properly level this oven can
cause improper function and will result
in the uneven baking with products
consisting of semi-liquid batter.
RESTRAINT REQUIREMENTS
—MOBILE EQUIPMENT
Any appliance that is not furnished with a power
supply cord but that includes a set of casters
must be installed with a tether. Adequate means
must be provided to limit the movement of this
appliance without depending on or transmitting
stress to the electrical conduit. The following
requirements apply:
1. Casters must be a maximum height of 6" (152mm).
2. Two of the casters must be the locking type.
3. Such mobile appliances or appliances on mobile
stands must be installed with the use of a flexible
connector secured to the building structure.
A mounting connector for a restraining device is
located on the upper back flange of the appliance.
A flexible connector is not supplied by nor is it
available from the factory.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Appliance must be secured
to building structure.
