2.5 Exhaust and ventilation
A Hot Rocks oven requires a ventilation hood to operate correctly and safely.
WARNING
The areas surrounding the unit should be kept clear to allow
necessary air ow; which is required for proper combustion and
operation. The unit should also be positioned for easy maintenance
access.
WARNING
According to local code, this oven could be interlocked with the
venting hood. Contact Hot Rocks customer service for document
7 0025 EA VENTILATION INTERLOCK FOR GAS OVENS.
Do not have fans blowing directly onto the oven and wherever possible avoid
opening windows next to the oven sides, or using wall type fans. Draft passing
directly through the oven could cause severe inconsistencies and cooking
problems.
WARNING
All exhaust systems are required to have an air make-up system
that replaces 100% of the exhausted air. Windows, doors, and other
openings into the establishment cannot be used for the purposes
of providing air make-up. A separate duct providing air into the
building is required.
WARNING
This oven is to be installed in an area with adequate air supply and
clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber of the unit.
