INSTALLATION
HOOD AND VENTILLATION REQUIREMENTS
Combustion Air
This appliance should be installed in an environment capable of providing adequate
combustion air for the range. Phoenix range model features and the BTU ratings are
listed under GAS BURNER BTU SPECIFICATIONS table shown prior to this section.
Locate the particular model/features being installed and note the BTU output of the
features of each appliance, then add the BTU rate for all burners operating at once. IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR BE PROVIDED FOR THE TOTAL
BTU CALCULATED. Avoid locating the appliance in a tightly confined area that is
incapable of providing sufficient combustion air. Clear space MUST be provided in front
of the appliance to allow for entry of combustion air.
Ventilation
An exhaust hood with code-approved fire controls and sufficient CFM exhaust must be
provided to remove excess heat/steam/grease, etc. from cooking. The hood canopy
must extend beyond all sides of the appliance. Refer to Standard NFPA No. 96 (latest
edition) for the removal of smoke and grease laden vapors from commercial cooking
equipment. Use the BTU listings under GAS BURNER BTU SPECIFICATIONS chart at
the beginning of this manual to calculate the total BTU, and then furnish exhaust air
CFM required. Room ventilation (make-up air) must be provided to compensate for air
being removed by exhaust system. Excessive negative room air pressure will result if
this is not done. Lack of exhaust and/or excessive negative pressure will interfere with
oven and pilot light operation and result in pilot outage, improper combustion, and poor
overall performance.
BATTERY INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Ranges that are installed in a battery (two or more) must be aligned, leveled, with
manifolds leveled and connected to each other.
Care must be exercised in leveling all appliances to the same plane. This is important so
that the 1-1/4" gas manifolds located at the front of each appliance can be connected via
plumbing unions. Failure to level all appliances to the same plane will prevent the proper
interconnection of gas manifolds. If the manifolds do not line up from one appliance to
another, re-check the level and correct so that appliances are leveled to the same plane.
Install the first appliance in the position it will occupy in the battery. Align and level the
second appliance to it and connect gas manifolds together. Continue until all appliances
are installed.
CAUTION: Provisions for gas and electrical shut offs must be incorporated in the design
of the “battery” and accessible in the event the appliance is to be serviced.
CAUTION: All gas manifolds must align correctly to each other. Failure to provide proper
alignment can damage gas manifolds, pilots and gas valves.
