WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove flue products can
cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. Provisions
for adequate air supply must be provided. Do not obstruct the front of the unit at the bottom where the air filter is
located or below the oven door as combustion air enters at these locations.
V ENTILATION
NOTICE
Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the
warranty.
Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
If a ventilation canopy is used, it is recommended that the canopy extend 152.4 mm (6”), past the appliance and that
the bottom edge be located 1981 mm (6’6”) from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the
horizontal. This position prevents dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, unusually
installed with a filter.
A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish
pilot flames. Fresh air openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such a vacuum. The exhaust fan should
be installed at least 609.6 mm (24”), above the vent opening at the top of the unit.
S PECIFICATIONS
NOTICE
Due to the variety of problems encountered by outside weather conditions, venting by canopies or wall fans is
preferred over any type of direct venting.
If the unit is connected directly to an outside flue, a CSA design certified down draft diverter must be installed.
In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the appliance with the exhaust fan turned OFF. Do this
only long enough to check whether doing so corrects any problems with equipment performance. Then turn the exhaust
fan back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
