Sapiens - Preparations for the installation room

• The room where the oven is to be fitted has to be well ventilated with all the openings required for rooms with gas installations (see specific regulations).
• In addition, it is good policy to locate the appliance under an extractor hood so that cooking vapours can be removed rapidly and continuously.
• The room must have a flue gas extraction stack (appliances with installation type B13), or a suitable flue gas extraction system fitted with all relevant safety devices (appliances with installation type B23). Further details are given under the heading: “Gas connection procedures”. Check with the appropriate agency whether or not special authorization is required for the emission of flue gases into the atmosphere.
• Current IEC (International Electrotechnical Committee) r egulations r equir e the installation of a multiple pole switch between the oven and the electrical power supply; the switch must have a contact gap of at least 3 mm on each pole.
• The oven needs two water supplies, one of which does not need to be softened, but does need to be cooled (for steam condensation).
  For direct steam ovens, the other supply system must have a softener with adequate capacity and pressure (see the technical data and chapter regarding the water hookup).
  If the oven has a steam generator, a softener does not need to be installed.
  All supply lines upstream of the appliance require a shut-off valve.
• The room must have a water drain in a good position for the oven to be installed, its specifications are given under the heading “Water and drain connections” in this manual.
• The gas supply plumbing must be installed in accordance with current regulations, adopting pipe sections and pressures suitable for the appliance (see technical data and gas connections heading).
  A fast acting shutoff valve must be installed on the gas inlet line to the appliance. It is absolutely essential that this valve should be specified to current standards and type test approved.
• The electrical isolating switch and the water and gas shutoff valves must all be located near to the appliance, within easy reach for the user.
