Mountain Home Oven Installation and Operation Manual
IMPORTANT
: If at any time you feel that either or both of the burners are not operating properly, turn the oven
off and call for service. Before servicing, disconnect the electrical supply at the breaker and turn off the gas supply
at the appliance’s individual gas shutoff valve. In the event of a power failure, no attempt should be made to
operate the oven
INITIAL OVEN STARTUP PROCEDURE
Your oven was cured at the factory, however in the course of shipment, storage on site, etc. the ceramic materials
will have absorbed moisture. It is critical that the Initial Oven Startup Procedure below be followed to ensure that
this moisture is driven from the ceramic in a controlled fashion. This will minimize cracking and prevent damage
to the oven that could otherwise occur by bringing the oven to temperature rapidly the first time it is used. This
Initial Oven Startup procedure need only be followed the first time the oven is fired and/or if the oven has not
been used for an extended period of time.
1. Make sure main gas supply is on (valve parallel with gas line).
2. Make sure the switches on the Honeywell control gas valves are in the ON position. These are located beneath the
oven.
3. Remove the night door(s). Push ON/OFF button on controller. It may take awhile for the gas to purge all the air
from the gas lines.
4. Allow oven to operate at FACTORY SETTINGS for 1 hour (Hearth Set Point at 100 °F, radiant flame at its lowest
setting, “1” on the Flame Height Control Knob). Leave the set point at 100 °F throughout the entire first day.
5. After one hour, raise dome flame to 25% (~6 inch flame, “2” on the Flame Height Control Knob, hold this
setting for 4 hours.
6. After 4 hours at 25% flame, raise to 50% flame (“3” on the Flame Height Control Knob) and hold for at least
another 4 hours or until the temperature reaches 500 °F.
7. Once the temperature reaches 500 °F the oven is ready for use. If you will be shutting the oven down, see the
instructions that follow.
8. Turning Off The Oven: Push ON/OFF button, all gas will go off, including the pilots. Put oven night door(s) in
place to retain heat.
NOTE:
• Always wait 5 minutes before restarting the oven.
• Never run the oven with the Night Heat Retention Door(s)
in place.
• Small "crazing" cracks will occur with normal heating and
cooling. They will not effect the performance or durability
of the oven. If cracks 1/8" wide or more develop, contact
Wood Stone for evaluation.
