Installation
Gas Connection
GAS hOSE RESTRAINT
If the oven is mounted on casters, a commercial flexible
connector with a minimum of 3/4” (1.9 cm) inside diam-
eter must be used along with a quick connect device.
The restraint, supplied with the oven, must be used to limit
the movement of the unit so that no strain is placed upon
the flexible connector. With the restraint fully stretched the
connector should be easy to install and quick connect.
The restraint (ie: heavy gauge cable) should be 1,000 lb.
(453 kg) test load and should be attached without damag-
ing the building. DO NOT use the gas piping or electrical
conduit for the attachment of the permanent end of the
restraint! Use anchor bolts in concrete or cement block.
On wooden walls, drive hi test wood lag screws into the
studs of the wall.
1. A 3/8” diameter hole has been provided on the bottom
of the oven just below the gas inlet. the hole is sized
to accept a clip-on restraining cable supplied with the
flex hose.
WARNING!!
If the restraint is disconnected for any rea-
son it must be reconnected when the oven is
returned to its original position.
U.S. and Canadian installations
The connector must comply with the Standard for Connec-
tors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Con-
nectors For Moveable Gas Appliances CAN/CGA-6.16-
M87 and a quick disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas
Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or Quick Disconnect For Use With Gas
Fuel CAN 1-6.9. Adequate means must be provided to
limit the movement of the appliance without depending
on the connection and the quick disconnect device or its
associated piping.
