DO NOT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR WHERE THE BETA 900
CONNECTS TO THE GAS SUPPLY.
Ventilation
(ForaQualiedServicePerson)
AIR INTAKE:
The Beta 900 uses the air in the room while it
operates. The direct vent cannot restock the air
supply so make sure about 30 CFM is available
for the Beta to use. Consult a ventilation expert
to increase the supply of air entering the room if
necessary.
AIR OUT-TAKE:
A well designed and operating ventilation system
will allow the oven in the BETA 900 to release
unwanted vapors. Failure to vent the BETA 900’s
oven will result in major operational problems.
DAMPER:
The damper, in the hood of the Beta 900, is set
at the factory. If upon installation, the oven does
from the burner, the damper may need to be
adjusted.
Each BETA 900 has been thoroughly tested and inspected before shipping, however it is often
necessary to further test or adjust the BETA 900 as part of installation. These adjustments are the
responsibility of the dealer or the person installing the machine. Since these adjustments are not
