2.0 INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1, as applicable.
1. The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Electrical grounding must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.2, as applicable.
Ventilation must be provided in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with ANSI/NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking
Operations.
The electrical diagram is located on the inside of the console control cover.
EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES: Canopies are set over ranges, ovens and kettles for
ventilation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6" past appliance and be located
7.5 feet from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the
horizontal. This position prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease
in a drip pan, usually installed with the filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in
the room and may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames. Makeup air
openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such vacuum. In case of
unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check operation with exhaust fan in the “OFF”
position.
WALL EXHAUST FAN: The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent
opening at the top of the unit.
CLEARANCES: Adequate clearance must be provided in aisle and at the side and back.
Adequate clearances for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided, as well
as for serviceability.
