Curing Your Gas Oven
Forno Bravo recommends curing the oven with wood,
not gas, due to the gas burner not allowing a low
enough flame setting during the cure process. Direct
flame touching the dome prior to the oven being
cured properly can result in cracking the dome and
voiding the warranty. Refer to Chapter 11 (page 30) in
this manual for curing instructions.
Small "HAIRLINE" cracks CAN occur IN THE OVEN
DOME with normal heating and cooling. They will
not AFFECT the performance or LONGEVITY of the
oven. If cracks of 1/8" or more develop, contact
Forno Bravo Customer Service.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The oven can be inspected through the door opening.
Allow the oven to completely cool before inspecting
the vent and chimney pipe for creosote build up.
Have your chimney cleaned by a professional
chimney sweep if you have doubts about your ability
to clean it. Use a plastic, wood, or steel brush. Do not
use a brush that will scratch the stainless steel liner
of your chimney. Scrub the spark arrestor with a wire
brush.
To remove the Chimney Cap for cleaning, either
twist counter-clockwise to remove the entire cap,
or unscrew the four (4) screws that attach the cap’s
support legs to the cap base. The Tee Cleanout Cap
can be removed by turning counter-clockwise. Be
sure to replace Tee Cleanout Cap when you are
finished cleaning the chimney.
Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When
wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense
in a relatively cook oven flue and exhaust hood of
a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining and exhaust hood.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot
fire.
The oven flue should be inspected at least twice
a year to determine when creosote buildup has
occurred.
When creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce risk of fire.
