Ventilation Air - Viking V CM Series Installation, Operation & Owners Manual

Ventilation Air

The following notes are intended to give general guidance. For detailed recommendations, refer
to the applicable codes in the Country, State, County and City of installation.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Proper ventilation is critical for optimum performance. The ideal method of ventilating gas fired
equipment is the use of properly designed canopy that should extend six inches (152mm) beyond
all sides of the appliance (s) and six feet six inches (1981mm) above the floor. Information on the
construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for "Vapor
Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire
Protection Association, on their web site: http://www.nfpa.org/
A strong exhaust will create a vacuum in the room. For an exhaust vent to work properly,
replacement air must be equal to the amount of air exhausted. An imbalance between exhaust
and replacement air can cause degradation in the appliance's performance.
All gas burners and pilots need sufficient air to operate. Large objects should not be placed in
front of the appliance (s) that would obstruct the flow of air into the front.
Electrical Supply (Where Applicable)
Important- This appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes with the National Electrical Code.
Appliances equipped with a flexible electrical supply cord are
provided with a three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this
plug be connected into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an
electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.
The convection range is designed for 120 volt power supply 15amp circuit and is provided with a
flexible electric supply cord and plug that must be plugged into the proper receptacle. Do not
connect the convection range to electrical supply until after gas connections have been made.
The wiring diagram for the convection range is located behind the front control panel.
