INSTALLATION Vectaire gas convection ovens are manufactured for use with the type of gas and electric supply indicated on the nameplate behind the fire box panel. The Vectaire oven is produced with the best possible material and workmanship. PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION. THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE FOR THE USE OF QUALIFIED INSTALLATION AND SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

INSTALLATION Ventilating Hood The ideal method of ventilating a convection oven is the use of a properly designed ventilat- ing hood. The hood should extend at least 6” beyond all sides of the oven. The hood should be connected to an adequate mechanical exhaust system. Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the “Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No.

INSTALLATION CAUTION DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE OVEN. KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA FREE AND CLEAR FROM COMBUSTIBLES Solid state components have a very short life span when exposed to temperatures above 175°F (80° C), therefore, certain installation precautions are necessary. The Vectaire HX oven have been designed to operate below this temperature when properly installed.

INSTALLATION Install rack guides inside oven. Place oven on stand. Install flue deflector (P/N:25328-6) or draft hood (P/N:24678-6). Either a flue deflector or a draft hood is shipped with every unit. The flue deflector is intended for use when the oven is installed under a properly designed hood. When the oven is directly connected to the vent system, the draft hood must be used.

INSTALLATION Gas Connection Before connecting oven to the gas supply line, be sure that all new piping has been cleaned and purged to prevent any foreign matter from being carried into the controls by the gas. In some cases, filters or drops are recommended. A separate gas shutoff valve must be installed upstream from the gas pressure regulator adjacent to the oven and be located in an accessi- ble area.

INSTALLATION Electrical Connection Unless otherwise specified, the oven is equipped with a 6 foot flexible supply cord for 115 VAC, 60 hertz. A terminal block is provided for 208/240 VAC, 60 hertz, single or three phase units. The wiring diagram is located on the back of the oven. THIS APPLIANCE, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA No.
