INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
A. Qualified Personnel
These installation instructions are for the use of qualified
installation and service personnel only. Installation or
service by other than qualified personnel may result in
damage to the oven and/or injury to the operator.
Qualified installation personnel are those individuals, firms,
companies or corporations which either in person or through
an agent are engaged in and responsible for:
• The installation or replacement of gas piping or the
connection, installation, repair or servicing of
equipment, who are experienced in such work,
familiar with all precautions required, and have
complied with all requirements of state and local
authorities having jurisdiction. See: National Fuel
Gas Code NFPA 54-1988 and ANSI Z223.1-1988,
Section 1.4.
For an oven equipped with casters, the installation shall be
made with a connector that complies with the Standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69-
1987, and Addenda, Z21.69a-1989, and a quick-disconnect
device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect
Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSIZ21.41-1989. When
installing the oven with casters and quick-disconnect hose,
adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of
the oven without depending on the connector and the quick
disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the oven
movement. Restraining means may be attached to the
vertical portion of the base frame in the rear of the oven.
Canadian installations should conform to “Installation Codes
for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment” CAN-I-B149.1
and B149.2 and/or local codes.
B. Delivery and Inspection
Duke Manufacturing Co. does everything within its power to
insure you received your oven in good condition. They are
strapped down on heavy wooden skids and surrounded by
heavy “tri-wall” cartons to prevent shipping damage. They
have all been carefully inspected before they were packaged
and consigned to the carrier.
Upon delivery of your Duke oven:
• Look over the shipping container, careful noting
any exterior damage on the delivery receipt which
must also be signed by the driver/delivery person.
• Uncrate and check for any damage which was not
evident on the outside of the shipping container.
This is called concealed damage. The carrier must
be notified within fifteen (15) days of the delivery
of the oven and the carton, skid and all packaging
materials must be retained for inspection.
Duke Manufacturing Co. cannot assume liability for loss or
damage suffered in transit. The carrier assumes full
responsibility for delivery in good order when the shipment
was accepted. However, we are prepared to assist you in
filing your claim.
C. Location of the Oven
Proper planning and placement of the oven will give you the
best results in terms of long term user convenience and
satisfactory performance. We urge you to give adequate
thought in the placement of your oven prior to its arrival.
• The oven should be placed in an area which is free
from drafts and accessible for proper operation and
servicing.
• The area around the oven must be kept clear of
combustible materials. A minimum clearance of:
Combustible Non-combustible
RIGHT SIDE 1” 0”
LEFT SIDE 1” 0”
REAR 3” 3”
FLOOR 8” 8”
must be maintained between the oven and any combustible
or non-combustible surface.
