2.0 INSTALLATION (Continued)
2.1 EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:
Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, kettles, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is
recommended that a canopy extend 6" past the appliance and be located 6' 6" from the
floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the horizontal.
This position prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in
a drip pan, usually installed with the filter. A strong exhaust 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 unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check with the
exhaust fan in the "OFF" position.
2.2 WALL EXHAUST FAN:
The exhaust fan should be installed at least two feet above the vent opening at the top
of the unit.
2.3 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 for use on noncombustible floors. Minimum clearance from
combustible and noncombustible construction, 0" on left side, 0" on right side and 6"
from back.
WARNING: These procedures must be followed by qualified
personnel or warranty will be voided. An open gap floor drain is
required immediately below the appliance drain.
