10 Part Number 4605890 Rev 0 July 2021
Installation Section 2
SPACING REQUIREMENTS
,Caution
Oven must be operated on an approved base only.
The oven must have a minimum of 8 inches (203 mm) of
clearance from all surfaces. In case other equipment is
located on the right side of oven, a minimum clearance of 24
inches (609 mm) is required from that equipment.
FOR ALL OVENS: A 24-inch (609 mm) clearance at the rear of
the oven must be obtainable for service access.
FOR PERMANENTLY INSTALLED OVENS: A permanently
installed (unmovable) oven requires a minimum of 4'
(1219 mm) clearance on the right hand side to allow for
conveyor removal, cleaning, and servicing.
NOTE: Do not install this (these) oven(s) in any area with an
ambient temperature in excess of 95°F/35°C. Doing so will
cause damage to the unit.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
A VENT IS REQUIRED: Local codes prevail. These are the
“authority having jurisdiction” as stated by the NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION, INC. in NFPA 96 latest
edition. In addition, to be in compliance with the NFPA 54
Section 10.3.5.2, this unit must be installed with a ventilation
hood interlock that prevents the unit from operating
when the ventilation hood is off. For further ventilation
information, see Ventilation Guidelines.
Ventilation Guidelines
For standard ovens, a ventilation hood is required to remove
heat and cooking odors. Alternatively, optional electric
“ventless” models are available which incorporate a catalyst
to limit the emission of grease laden air to below 5mg/
m3. Ventless ovens have been tested in accordance with
UL710B & EPA-202 and are listed by UL to the KNLZ category.
Ventless ovens should only be used for reheating purposes
and should not be used to cook raw animal proteins, doing
so may cause the appliance to exceed allowable grease laden
air limits and/or cause damage to the catalyst. Ventless oven
models can be identified by the “-V-” suffix as part of their
model number, refer to the spec sheet for more details.
When permitted by local code(s) and used with appropriate
food products, Lincoln “ventless” ovens are not required
to be installed under a ventilation hood. For gas ovens, a
ventilation hood is also required to remove the products of
combustion. The hood and HVAC installation must meet local
codes to gain approval by the authority having jurisdiction.
Requirements may vary throughout the country depending
on the location by city, county, and state. Obtain information
from the authority having jurisdiction to determine the
requirements for your installation. Obtain information and
review copies of codes or documents that will be used to
inspect and approve your installation. Your ventilation hood
supplier and HVAC contractor should be contacted to provide
guidance. A properly engineered and installed ventilation
hood and HVAC system will expedite approval and reduce
oven maintenance costs. Proper ventilation is the oven
owner’s responsibility.
The ventilation hood must operate in harmony with the
building HVAC system. It typically requires between 750
and 2500 CFM (1274 and 4248 m3/hour) exhaust. (The
“Efficiency” of various hood designs makes it necessary
to specify such a wide range of ventilator flow.) Make
up air must be supplied by either a hood design or the
HVAC system. This will vary with hoods from various
manufacturers.
Notice
Prevent airflow through the cooking tunnel. Air must NOT
be directed onto the oven front or at side of cooking area
or rear of oven.
