Appendix 1. Cucina Stand
Assembly
The Cucina stand is an optional modular metal stand
frame for creating a “built-in” look for the Forno Bravo
residential ovens. The stand consists of a metal stand
frame and hearth tray, along with pre-cut and pre-drilled
backer board panels that face the outside and inside of the
stand and form the bottom of the hearth tray. The stand is
designed to hold a customer-installed concrete hearth and
decorative finish, such as stucco, stone or brick.
Assembly Instructions
1. Bolt the metal frame together and set it in place.
2. Screw the backer panels to the outside of the frame.
Do not worry if there are gaps between the panels. The
stand will be covered with a decorative finish.
3. Lay the top tray panel into the hearth tray and support it
with a customer supplied support built using
2" x 4" (5 cm x 10cm)lumber. The support will hold the
tray panel and concrete in place while the wet concrete
is curing. Cut the 2" x 4" (5 cm x 10cm) lumber to make
a “T” under the panel, where to top of the support
touches the bottom of the panel.
4. Place a grid of 1/4" (6.3 mm)rebar running in both
directions every 10" (304 cm), in the center of the tray
(equal amounts of concrete above and below the rebar
grid).
5. Mix and pour standard pre-mix concrete to fill the tray,
and leave it to cure for 24 hours.
6. Remove the support.
7. Place the oven on top of the concrete hearth.

Do not place an assembled Forno Bravo oven inside the
stand tray. The stand is not designed to accurately fit
the size of any assembled oven and you will damage
the oven enclosure if you try to make it fit. Pour a
concrete hearth and place the assembled oven on top
of the cured concrete.
Gas option: a minimum of 19 3/4" w x 19 3/4" h (50.1 cm
w x 50.1 cm h) opening is required for air flow to burner
assembly.
