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.
