INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

Installation must conform with local codes, or in the ab-
sence 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 pres-
sures 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.
The electrical diagram is located on the inside of side
panel of left hand console.

EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES

Canopies are set over ranges, ovens and kettles for venti-
lation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend
6 inches 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 drip-
ping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease
in a drip pan, usually installed with the filter. A strong ex-
haust 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 unsatisfac-
tory performance on any appliance, check operation with
exhaust fan in the "OFF" position.

ALL EXHAUST FAN

he exhaust fan should be installed at least two 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.
Sides - 0 inches
Back - 4 inches at flue box
Floors - Non-combustible
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow
of combustion and ventilation air are not obstructed. Pro-
visions for an adequate air supply must also be provided.
Do not obstruct side of the unit, as combustion air enters
through this area.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilat-
ing hoods may be obtained from the standard for "Vapor
Removal from Cooking Equipment", NFPA No. 96 (latest
edition), available from the National Fire Protection As-
sociation, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, USA, 02269.
