ity for loss or damage suffered in transit. The carrier as-
sumed full responsibility for delivery in good order when 
the shipment was accepted. We are, however, prepared 
to assist you if ling a claim is necessary.
OVEN LOCATION
The well planned and proper placement of your oven will 
result in long term operator convenience and satisfactory 
performance. 
The following clearances must be maintained between 
the oven and any combustible or non-combustible con-
struction.
SHO-100-G
•  Oven body right side - 2” (5cm)
•  Oven body left side - 2” (5cm)
•  Oven body back - 0” (0cm)
•  Oven body bottom - 6” (15cm)
The following clearances must be available for servicing.
•  Oven body sides - 12” (30cm)
•  Oven body back - 12” (30cm)
NOTE:  On gas models, routine servicing can usually 
be accomplished within the limited movement 
provided by the gas hose restraint. If the oven 
needs to be moved further from the wall, the 
gas must rst be turned off and disconnected 
from the oven before removing the restraint. 
Reconnect the restraint after the oven has been 
returned to its normal position.
It is essential that an adequate air supply to the oven be 
maintained to provide a sufcient ow of combustion and 
ventilation air.
•  Place the oven in an area that is free of drafts.
•  Keep the oven area free and clear of all combus-
tibles such as paper, cardboard, and ammable 
liquids and solvents.
•  NSF requires 6” of clearance on the bottom and 
sides of the unit for cleaning. Do not place the oven 
on a curb base or seal to a wall.
•  The location must provide adequate clearance for 
the air opening into the combustion chamber.
Before making any utility connections to this oven, check 
the  rating  plate  to  be  sure  the  oven  specications  are 
compatible with the gas and electrical services supplied 
for the oven.
