VENTILATION HOODS
Means must be provided for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking
appliance to exhaust combustion waste products to the outside
of the building. Usual practice is to place the unit under an
exhaust hood. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any
industrial hood. Consult local codes before constructing and
installing a hood.
Room air movement should be monitored during installation.
Strong exhaust fans in the hood or in the overall air conditioning
system can produce a slight vacuum in the room and/or cause
air drafts – either may interfere with the pilot or main burner
performance and can also be hard to diagnose. If pilot burner or
main burner outage problems persist – make up air openings or
baes may have to be provided in the room.
Provisions shall be incorporated in the design of the kitchen to
ensure adequate supply of fresh air and adequate clearance for air
openings into the combustion chamber, for proper combustion
and ventilation. For proper operation of the appliance, do not
obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air.

RATING PLATE – The information on the rating plate denes the model, serial
number, gas type (natural or liquid propane), operating pressures and burner BTU
ratings. Keep this information for future reference. It is essential for proper identication
of the unit when requesting additional information or factory support.
Appliances must be connected only to the type of gas identied on the rating plate.
GAS CONNECTION – The single deck oven requires one gas connection; the double deck oven requires two gas connections. The
gas inlet line size of this appliance is 3/4" NPT. For proper operation, the gas service supply line must be the same size or greater than the
inlet line size of the appliance.
MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE – A gas pressure regulator and a contractor-supplied shut-o valve must be plumbed in the gas
service line ahead of the appliance – in a physical location where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

H. Step down regulator
The gas pressure regulator must be installed in the gas line – failure to install a pressure regulator will void the equipment warranty. The
regulators supplied with ranges have 3/4" NPT connections; the regulator is adjusted at the factory for 5" W.C. (water column) manifold
gas pressure (natural gas) or 10" W.C. manifold gas pressure for propane gas operation.
Before connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure – as these regulators can only withstand a maximum inlet pressure of
14" W.C. (1/2 PSI); exceeding this pressure will damage them. Visually double check any installer-supplied intake pipes and/or blow them
out using compressed air to clear any dirt or debris, threading chips, or other foreign matter – before installing a service line. Those
particles will clog gas orices when gas pressure is applied. Compounds used on threaded joints of this appliance piping must be resistant
to the action of NG and LP gas and provide a gas tight seal to prevent leaks. If the gas supply line pressure is greater than this amount, a
step-down regulator will be required. A gas ow direction arrow is cast into the body of the regulator to minimize installation error – it
should point downstream to the appliance. The blue air vent cap on the top of the regulator is part of the regulator and should not be
removed.
Any adjustment to the regulator must be made
only by qualied and licensed service personnel
with the proper calibrated test equipment. Gas
connections should be performed by a qualied
licensed contractor.
