Mountain Home Oven Installation and Operation Manual
Radiant Burner
Two possible wood
fire locations
(8 o'clock or 4 o'clock)
Appliance Doorway
MH-RFG-IR-W models allow for the optional burning of wood in conjunction with the gas burners. When burning
wood in the appliance, the fire should be placed to one side of the chamber, as close to the door opening as is
possible (this is often described as the 8 o’clock or 4 o’clock position). Burn a maximum of 15 lbs. of wood per hour.
If flames spill out of the doorway, or the temperature exceeds 850 °F, you are over firing the appliance.
Never not use gasoline, kerosene or any type of lighter fluid to ignite or freshen up a fire.
To start the fire, use a small amount of dry kindling. A paraffin/sawdust type (solid) fire starter may be used to help
ignite the fire.
Make every effort to keep ash and other debris out of the radiant
burner well. Do not use the radiant burner as a “backstop” when
shoveling ash and/or coals out of the appliance.
Burner problems
resulting from debirs or ash in the burner well will not be covered
by the oven warranty.
Using the floor brush and ash shovel, move
debris only toward the appliance doorway and dispose of safely.
Note: Ovens burning solid fuel require a more frequent mainte-
nance schedule. Call with questions regarding maintenance
frequency.
See the Fuelwood Facts section at the end of this manual for more
information on burning wood.
DO NOT USE THE RADIANT BURNER TO IGNITE WOOD OR
SUPPORT THE WOOD FIRE.
Wood should be stored and handled in accordance with the recom-
mendations outlined in NFPA 96.
The interior floor and dome of the appliance do not require creosote or soot removal. The appliance flue and
exhaust system will require inspection and cleaning. The exhaust system must be inspected and cleaned per the
manufacturer's and or local code official’s recommendations.
The rate of creosote and/or grease build up is highly dependent on the frequency of use. For most residential
applications, a yearly inspection of the duct system should be sufficient.
Dispose of ash per the following:
1. Place ashes into a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
2. Place the closed container of ashes on a non-combustible floor or on the
ground.
3. Place the closed container of ashes well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal.
4. Retain the ashes in the closed container until all the cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes can then be
disposed of safely
If at any time, you feel the gas components of the appliance are not operating properly, turn the appliance off,
shut off the gas supply and call Wood Stone to arrange for servicing of the appliance.
Note: Wood Stone’s stainless steel
ash shovel and double compart-
ment ash disposal system offer
a safe and convenient way to
dispose of ash.
