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.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
18" (457mm) minimum clearance at back from heat
producing equipment.

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 back-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 of 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 lower back flange of the appliance
chassis or on an oven stand, approximately 18"
(457mm) from the floor. A flexible connector is not
supplied by nor is it available from the factory.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Appliance must be secured
to building structure.
