Installation
Initial Startup
The following is a check-list to be completed by qualified
personnel prior to turning on the appliance for the first
time.
1. Open the manual shut-off valve at the rear of the
oven.
2. Remove the control panel and combustion covers.
3. Turn the combination valve’s manual shut-off to the
on position.
4. Turn the selector switch to Cook, and the thermostat
to 500ºF (260ºC).
With the main burner on, check the following.
• Verify there are no gas leaks, by checking all gas
connections with a soapy water solution.
• Verify that the inlet pressure is correct. The inlet
pressure can be checked at the pressure tap located
on the combination valve’s inlet side.
• Verify that the manifold pressure is correct. The
manifold pressure can be checked at the pressure
tap located on the combination valve’s outlet side.
• If the above pressure readings are set to the recom-
mended pressure requirements, allow the oven to
burn-off for 2 hours. If the pressure readings are not
set correctly, turn off the oven and readjust accord-
ingly.
WARNING
The break in procedure burns off excess
oils present in the metals during fabrication.
Smoke may be produced. Proper ventilation is
required.
ADjUSTMENTS ASSOCIATED WITh INITIAL INSTAL-
LATION
Each oven, and its component parts, have been thorough-
ly tested and inspected prior to shipment. However, it is
often necessary to further test or adjust the oven as part
of a normal and proper installation. These adjustments
are the responsibility of the installer, or dealer. Since
these adjustments are not considered defects in mate-
rial or workmanship, they are not covered by the Original
Equipment Warranty. They include, but are not limited to:
• calibration of the thermostat
• adjustment of the doors
• burner adjustments
• leveling
• testing of gas pressure
• tightening of fasteners.
No installation should be considered complete without
proper inspection, and if necessary, adjustment by quali-
fied installation or service personnel.
