LOCaTIOn
The well planned and proper placement of your appliance
will result in long term operator convenience and satisfac-
tory performance.
The following clearances must be maintained between
the unit and any combustible or non-combustible con-
struction.
BC-20G
• Right side of unit - 6” (15 cm)
• Left side of unit - 6” (15 cm)
• Back of unit - 6” (15 cm)
BC-20E
• Right side of unit - 1” (2.5 cm)
• Left side of unit - 4” (10 cm)
• Back of unit - 6” (15 cm)
The following clearances are recommended, but not re-
quired, for servicing.
all Models
• Left side of unit - 12” (30 cm)
• Back of unit - 12” (30 cm)
Place the unit in an area which is free of drafts and acces-
sible for proper operation and servicing.
Keep the operating area free and clear of all combustibles
such as paper, cardboard, and flammable liquids and sol-
vents.
DO NOT place the unit on a curb base or seal to the wall;
either condition will prevent proper ventilation to the blow-
er motors. Slight unevenness can be corrected with the
adjustable legs.
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated by the
manufacturer; there is no need for additional lubrication
during the operational lifetime of the motors.
VEnTILaTIOn
The necessity for a properly designed and installed venti-
lation system cannot be over emphasized. The ventilation
system will allow the unit to function properly while remov-
ing unwanted vapors and products of combustion from
the operating area.
The appliance must be vented with a properly designed
mechanically driven exhaust hood. The hood should be
sized to completely cover the equipment plus an over-
hang of at least 6” (15 cm) on all sides not adjacent to a
wall. The capacity of the hood should be sized appropri-
ately and provisions made for adequate makeup air.
WaRnInG!!
Failure to properly vent the oven can be haz-
ardous to the health of the operator; and will
result in operational problems, unsatisfactory
baking, and possible damage to the equip-
ment. damage sustained as a direct result of
improper ventilation will not be covered by the
Manufacturer’s warranty.
When installed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
this appliance must be interlocked with the hood exhaust
system so that the appliance may be operated only
when the hood exhaust system is running.
