The oven must be mounted on the factory equipped
oven legs or on an optional oven stand. Installation
on a solid or concrete base that in any way restricts
air flow may void the warranty.
All clearances for a proper ventilation air supply
must be maintained to minimize fire hazard. Do
not locate the oven immediately adjacent to any
other heat-generating appliance.
A number of adjustments are associated with initial
installation and start-up. Adjustments must 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,
and gas pressure verification. The Platinum series
oven burners are factory-adjusted with fixed air
openings and require no field adjustment.
LEVELING
The oven should be leveled before the gas
supply is connected. Level the oven from side-to-
side and front-to-back with the use of a spirit level.
For ovens installed on a mobile stand, it is
important that the floor 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.
I N S T A L L A T I O N R E Q U I R E M E N T S
W A R N I N G
Inadequate ventilation, or failure to
ensure an adequate supply of fresh
air will result in a high ambient
temperature at the rear of the
appliance. An excessive ambient
temperature can cause the thermal-
overload protection device on the
blower motor to trip resulting in severe
damage to the blower motor.
C A U T I O N
TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY,
USE CAUTION WHEN MOVING OR
LEVELING THIS APPLIANCE.
