Deck Installation
Remove all packing material, samples, shims, etc. from
the baking chamber leaving the metal hearth sheets
on the baking chamber floor. Make sure the sheets are
arranged to cover the whole bottom of the chamber.
Depending on the model, two, three, or four baking
hearth stones are required for the cooking deck. The
hearth stones are heavy and fragile. Careful handling
is required for personal safety and to insure proper
performance.
Slide the first stone into the baking chamber. Push it
as far back as possible. Push it to one side as far as
possible.
Slide additional stones into the baking chamber
similarly. If more than two stones are required for the
oven cavity install the side stones first to insure they are
properly positioned into the cavity corners behind the
door frame as required.
Seams should be closed tightly by moving hearth stones
against each other. Use of metal shims may be required
to level the stones.
The use of steel wedges between the hearth stones and
cavity sides may be required. Care must be exercised
if wedges are installed along side walls of the cavity to
insure the operation of the vent slides is not adversely
affected by too much side pressure causing them to
bind.
On models that include them install the hearth trim strip
between the front of the baking hearth stones and the
door frame.
Ceiling Tiles
Some models have the option of having a hearth lined
ceiling. These tiles will be packed separately from the
oven, and may be in the same container as the baking
deck tiles.
For Il Forno models there are multiple square tiles that
get installed into the top supports by tipping at an angle,
inserting the edge above the support rail toward the
center, setting one edge along the support rail along the
side of the cavity and letting the tipped up edge come
down to rest on the center support rail. Center tiles are
installed the same way.
For deck ovens a long narrow ceiling stone will be
inserted at a cut-out in the front edge along the door
opening. Set the rear end up over the ledge along the
back of the cavity. Swing the front edge up through the
cut-out and slide it to the left or right for positioning.
After curing and use, new stones may require re-
leveling. This is the responsibility of the owner and not
the manufacturer.
