Installation Instructions

10
The control panel MUST remain removable for servicing
(see PARTS LIST).
EXHAUST REMOVAL
If the unit is installed under an overhead structure that is
constructed of non-combustible material: an exhaust hood
is recommended. See below.
If the unit is installed under an overhead structure that is
constructed of combustible material: an exhaust hood is
required. See below.
Note: An alternative to an exhaust removing vent
hood is an RHP combustible overhead
protection kit. See previous page.
When using an exhaust hood:
The cooking grid area must be covered by an exhaust
hood (with a vent) larger than the cooking surface. Refer
to manufacturer specifi cations. An exhaust fan with a
rating of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) (472 liters
per second) or more may be necessary to effectively
remove smoke and other cooking by-products from the
area under the hood. RHP Vent Hoods are available,
contact your local dealer.
THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN A FULLY
ENCLOSED AREA OF ANY KIND.
ENSURE PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND
COOLING AIRFLOW
Proper airfl ow (Fig. 10-1) MUST be maintained for the
searing station to perform as it was designed. If airfl ow
is blocked, overheating and poor combustion will result.
Do not block the 1" front air inlet along the bottom of
the control panel or more than 75% of the cooking grid
surface with pans or griddles.
