INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTALLATION
SITING
The floor on which the range and salamander broiler are to be sited must be capable of
adequately supporting the weight of the appliance and any ancillary equipment. Once in position,
check that the unit is level, both front to back and side to side. Adjust, if necessary, using the
adjusting foot on each leg of range.
VENTILATION AIR
The following notes are intended to give general guidance. For detailed recommendations, refer to
the applicable codes(s) in the country of destination.
Note 1: The room containing the appliance is required to have a permanent air vent. The
minimum effective area of the vent is related to the maximum rated heat input of the
appliance and shall be 4.5cm² per kW in excess of 7 kW.
Note 2: Air vents should be of such a size to compensate for the effects of any extract fan in
the premises.
GAS SUPPLY
The local gas region should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to establish the
availability of an adequate supply of gas and to ensure that the meter is adequate for the required
flow rate. The pipe work from the meter to the appliances must be of an appropriate size. Where a
number of appliances are installed in a battery, no more than five should be served by any one
supply pipe.
All fixed (non-mobile) appliances MUST be fitted with a manual gas cock upstream of the
appliance to provide a means of isolation for servicing or cleaning purposes. A union or similar
means of disconnection must be provided between the gas cock and the appliance. A manually
operable valve must be fitted to the gas supply to the kitchen to enable it to be isolated in an
emergency. Wherever practical, this shall be located either outside the kitchen or near to an exit in
a readily accessible position.
Where it is not practical to do this, an automatic isolation valve system shall be fitted which can be
operated from a readily accessible position near to the exit.
At locations where the manual isolation valve is fitted or the automatic system can be reset, a
notice must be fitted stating:
“ALL DOWNSTREAM BURNER AND PILOT VALVES MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO
ATTEMPING TO RESTORE THE SUPPLY. AFTER EXTENDED SHUT OFF, PURGE BEFORE
RESTORING GAS.”
