Oven Clearances
It is essential to maintain clearance space between the oven
components and any combustible material, such as walls and
ceilings. Failure to maintain these clearances can result in fire.
Combustible Wall Clearance
The oven must have a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance to
combustibles from all sides, and 14" (356 mm) clearance
to combustibles from the top.
If building materials will contact the oven, they must be
completely noncombustible. Please note that standard
drywall (or sheet rock) is considered a combustible.
The area directly above the doorway and 6" (152 mm) to
each side of the doorway must be covered with non-
combustible material.
Non-combustible construction may contact the oven and
must then maintain 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustibles.
If the space between the legs of the stand is used for
wood storage, it is recommended that it be a covered
container or box to prevent the possibility of sparks or
embers from making contact with the stored wood. An
8-1/2" (eight and one-half inch) air space clearance is
required between the bottom of the oven and any wood
storage container.
Floor Hearth Extension
The minimum floor hearth extension areas from the oven
door opening to combustible floors are as follows:
•
30” (762) to each side of the door opening
•
36” (914 mm) in front of the door opening
The foundation should be at least 4” wider and deeper
than the hearth, to allow for trim material.
