MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Provision should be made for any commercial, heavy
duty cooking appliance exhaust combustion waste
products to the outside of the building. Usual practice
is to place the appliance under an exhaust hood, which
should be constructed in accordance to the local codes.
Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air
conditioning system can produce a slight vacuum in
the room and/or cause air drafts, either of which can
interfere with the pilot or burner performance and
could be difficult to diagnose. Air movement should
be checked during installation. Air openings or baffles
may have to be provided in the room, if pilot or burner
outage problem persists.
Gas Connection
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size
or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. Bakers
Pride
®
ranges and ovens use a 3/4” NPT inlet. Sealant
on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
Manual Shut Off Valve
This installer supplied valve must be in the gas service
line ahead of the appliance regulator in the gas stream
and in a position accessible in the event of
an emergency.
Pressure Regulator
Commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure
regulator on the incoming service line for safe and
efficient operation, since service pressures may
fluctuate on local demand. A pressure regulator is
packed inside every Bakers Pride
®
range.
Failure to install the pressure regulator will void the
appliance warranty.
The regulators supplied along with appliances, will
have 3/4” inlet/outlet openings and are adjusted at the
factory for 5” WC (natural gas) or 10” WC (propane gas)
depending on customer’s ordering instructions.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming
line pressure, as these regulators can only withstand
a maximum pressure of 1/2’’ psi (14” WC). If the line
pressure is beyond this limit, a step-down regulator will
be required.
Clearances
The appliance area must be kept free and clear of all
combustibles. The clearances from combustible and
non-combustible construction of ranges and range
mounted Salamander broiler or Cheesemelter are as
follows.
Combustible
Non-Combustible
Back
4”
0
Sides
10”
0
If legs or casters are not used, the appliance must
extend 2” beyond the front edge of a non-combustible
curb or platform.
High Shelf Assembly
• Mount the High Shelf Assy to the range with #10
sheet metal screws.
• If a Salamander broiler / Cheesemelter is to be
mounted on Range, read installation instructions
for Salamander / Cheesemelter before installing the
High Shelf. Care must be taken to ensure gas supply
piping and/or gas supply regulator is not exposed to
exhaust gases, or elevated temperatures.
Levelling (Ranges Equipped With Ovens)
A carpenter’s spirit level should be used and placed
on the oven’s center baking rack and or across the
range top and the unit leveled from front to back and
side to side. If it is not level, cakes, casseroles and any
other liquid or semi liquid batter will not bake evenly,
burner combustion may be erratic, and the unit will not
function efficiently.
If the floor is smooth and level, the appliance may be
further leveled with adjustment in the foot of the leg.
Units with castors require adjustment with shims. A unit
will probably not return to the same position after being
moved, requiring releveling after each and every move.
Air Supply and Ventilation
The area in front of, around and above the appliance
must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow
of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance
must be maintained around the appliance for easy
servicing.
