Planning The Installation - Fisher & Paykel DCS RGS Series Service Manual

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The RGS is tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard
for Household Cooking Gas Appliances.
The range must be installed in conjunction with a suitable
overhead vent hood. (See "Ventilation Requirements" on
page 14). Due to the professional high heat capacity of
this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood
and duct work installation to ensure it meets local building
codes. To eliminate risk of burns or fi re by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the
surface units should be avoided.
All range models with less than a 12" clearance between
combustible material and the back edge of the range, re-
quire the installation of one of the two off ered Wall Mount
Backguards (see "Backguard Installation" on page 19).
