Installation, Operation and Care of

HGFR GAS-FLAMED ROTISSERIE OVEN

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

The model HGFR Series Gas-Flamed Rotisserie Oven features stainless steel interior and exterior for ease of cleaning. Infrared ceramic gas burners efficiently roast the product. The rotisserie rotates the product on spits as it revolves around the rotisserie oven. The product roasts evenly and self-bastes throughout the cooking process. The drip pan's water bath system in the bottom of the rotisserie oven adds moisture during roasting, catches the fat drippings (reducing the chance of fire) and facilitates easy cleanup. This rotisserie oven has been exclusively designed to grill meat products. A see-through window option is available.

INSTALLATION

Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service and gas supply (natural) agree with the specifications on the machine data plate located on the right side of the rotisserie oven.

LOCATION

WARNING: THE ROTISSERIE OVEN SHOULD NOT BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE CUSTOMER;

HOT GLASS AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS.

The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Maintain clearances from combustible and noncombustible construction of 3" (7.6 cm) at the sides and rear. If rotisserie oven is equipped with the optional glass back, clearance from combustible and noncombustible construction must be 3"

(7.6 cm) at side and 15" (38.1

cm) from the rear of the rotisserie oven. The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing (18" [46 cm] is recommended when used with leveling feet) and for proper operation of the doors. The rotisserie oven is suitable for installation on combustible floors.

The rotisserie oven must be level for the rotor to operate properly.

The rotisserie oven must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed. The bottom of the rotisserie oven must be kept clear so that the air openings into the combustion chamber are not obstructed. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow for that required for combustion of gas at the rotisserie oven burners.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

In the United States, the gas rotisserie oven must be installed in accordance with: 1) State and local codes; 2) National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition), available from American Gas

Association, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209; 3) ANSI/NFPA 96, Vapor Removal from

Cooking Equipment (latest edition), available from National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch

Park, Quincy, MA 02269; and 4) National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition).

In Canada, the gas rotisserie oven must be installed in accordance with: 1) Local codes; 2) CAN/

CGAB149.1, Installation for Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment (latest edition); and 3)

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 2, CSA Standard C22.1 (latest edition).

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Refer to Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, NFPA 96 (latest edition). The rotisserie oven cannot be directly vented to a gas flue or exhaust. It should be operated under an exhaust hood that extends at least 6 in. beyond the rotisserie oven's sides. Clearance above the rotisserie oven flue should allow the products of combustion to escape without interfering with heat circulation in the rotisserie oven.

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check the rotisserie oven for possible shipping damage. If the rotisserie is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

LEVELING

If the rotisserie oven is equipped with casters (standard), move the rotisserie oven to its final installed position and lock the front casters; back casters are nonlocking. Casters are nonadjustable; therefore, the floor must be level to avoid experiencing cooking problems.

If the rotisserie oven is equipped with adjustable feet (optional), move the rotisserie oven to its final installed position. Place a spirit level on top of the rotisserie oven and turn the adjustable feet in or out to level the rotisserie oven front to back and side to side.

TETHER CONNECTION

When equipped with casters, the gas connection must be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for

Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69

(latest edition) or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances,

(CAN/CGA-6.16) and must be made with a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-

Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41

(latest edition) or Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With

Gas Fuel (CANI-6.9). Tether the rotisserie oven using the hole provided on the left side of machine next to the gas connection (Fig. 6).

If disconnection of the tether is necessary, turn off the gas and water supplies before disconnection. After returning the rotisserie oven to its original position, reconnect the tether before turning the gas and water supplies back on.
