TRADITIONAL INSTALLATION
Building a Facade:
Before Proceeding:
The facade may consist of a front only, front and one side, front and two sides or all four sides. Generally the facade is
framed with metal studs, then covered with fire-resistant “Wonder Board” and decorated with tile, brick, masonry or
material of choice. Check with local health department and building codes for local requirements.
Note that provisions must be made in the facade for access to the control panel cover, push-pull rods, arched
opening, combustion chamber door(s), service panels and electrical and gas connections. Provisions must be made
for air movement in architecturally enclosed structures. Instructions on the following pages.
Step #1
Uncrate oven(s), set in place.
Step #2
Build a metal-stud frame. Work around your oven(s) allowing provisions for air movement and access
requirements (described on following pages).
Step #3
Fasten 3/8” (7mm) “Wonder Board” to oven metal-stud framework using sheet metal screws.
Step #4
Attach tile, stone, marble, thin brick or finish of your choice over Harde Backer Board using a latex/polymer
based high-heat resistant ceramic thin set mortar. Start at the floor and work up to the top of facade
enclosure. Cut tile, etc to fit as required based on your design and to create the look you want.
Step #5
Grout between tile/stone joints. It is best to allow thin set mortar to dry overnight prior to grouting.
Step #6
Allow grout to dry for 24 hours prior to starting oven(s).

Helpful Hints
Control Panel Cover(s),
Thermostat(s) and
Service Panels:
Combustion Chamber
Door(s):
Push-Pull Rods:
Lintel Plate(s):
Frame around Control
Panel Cover(s) with
metal studs. Studs may
b e p l a c e d d i r e c t l y
against oven exterior.
Leave Exposed for easy
access.
Provide 1” or less
diameter holes in facade
so holes are covered by
push-pull rods.
Leave lintel plates
exposed and cover lintel
plate with marble, tile, etc
for good looks and to
provide flush landing
shelf. (Lintel plate is 1”
lower than deck height).
