INSTALLATION
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate ventilation system is required for
commercial cooking equipment. Information may be
obtained by writing to the National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
When writing refer to NFPA No. 96.
1. A single gas Combitherm oven requires a minimum
of 28 CFM make-up air for natural and propane
gas. Kitchen ventilation must include a provision
for an adequate flow of fresh air for gas combustion
and to prevent a negative-pressure condition. The
bottom of the oven provides air supply access for
gas combustion and must be kept clear at all times.
DO NOT
obstruct or restrict ventilation nor the air
flow required to support combustion.
2. DO NOT obstruct the flow of the exhaust flue at
the top rear of the oven. It is especially critical
that gas supply piping and electrical support
cord and/or receptacle be routed away from the
path of the hot combustion fumes.
3. Make certain the oven installation maintains adequate
air ventilation to provide cooling for electrical and gas
components. The area around the oven should be clear
of any obstructions which might retard the flow of
cooling air. Failure to observe this caution may result in
damage to the components and will void the warranty.
4. This oven cannot be direct vented.
5. Install the oven under a ventilation hood meeting
all applicable code requirements. Combustion
fumes must be vented in accordance with local,
state, or national codes.
D A N G E R
Installation, air adjustment and/or
service work must be in accordance
with all local codes and must be
performed by a certifi ed service
technician qualifi ed to work on
gas appliances.
C A U T I O N
DO NOT USE CIRCULATING FANS
ON THE FLOOR. FLOOR FANS WILL
AFFECT BURNER OPERATION.
C A U T I O N
To prevent malfunction or cause
negative back draft, DO NOT obstruct
exhaust fl ues or attach any fl ue
extension that will impede proper
burner operation.
Ventilation hoods and exhaust systems shall
be permitted to be used to vent appliances
installed in commercial applications.
Where automatically operated appliances are
vented through a ventilation hood or exhaust
system equipped with a damper or with a power
means of exhaust, provisions shall be made
to allow the flow of gas to the main burners
only when the damper is open to a position
to properly vent the appliance and when the
power means of exhaust is in operation.
IN
ACCORDANCE WITH
NFPA 54

MASSACHUSETTS ONLY
.
W A R N I N G
Inadequate ventilation, or failure to
ensure an adequate supply of fresh
air will result in a high ambient
temperature at the rear of the
appliance. An excessive ambient
temperature can cause the thermal-
overload protection device on the
blower motor to trip resulting in
severe damage to the blower motor.
D A N G E R
FAILURE TO VENT THIS APPLIANCE
PROPERLY MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO
THE HEALTH OF THE OPERATOR.
Equipment damage, operational
problems and unsatisfactory baking
performance may also be the
consequence of improper venting.
Any damage sustained by a failure
to properly vent this oven are not
covered under warranty.
