SITE SELECTION
After unpacking and inspecting the ICO as described in Chapter
1, select a suitable site for installation. Apply the following
criteria when selecting a site for the oven:
• The oven must be installed in a well-ventilated room
with access to a fume hood or other suitable ventilation
system. If the exhaust duct shipped with the oven is used,
locate the oven no more than 4.6 m (15 ft) from the
exhaust outlet. Be sure to insulate the exhaust duct
sufficiently. Follow local codes for proper installation of
the exhaust outlet.
• Locate the oven no more than 1.2 m (4 ft) from the
required electrical power source (see Appendix C).
Ensure that the distance does not place stress on the
power cord. The power source must be wired by a
qualified electrician.
• Place the oven on a level, sturdy, fireproof surface.
• Locate the oven at least 15 cm (6 in.) from other vertical
structures.
• During normal operations, the chamber door cannot be
opened during a burn cycle. However, if the door lock
should fail or be defeated by the operator, it may be
possible to open the door while combustion is occurring
inside the oven. If this should happen, flames may exit
from the top of the door. Therefore, there must be at least
91 cm (3 ft) of clearance above the oven.
• Do not restrict the airflow in and around the bottom of
the oven.
• Do not install the oven near combustibles, such as
gasoline or paint.
• Keep all cords away from the top and sides of the oven.
