First Firing
HPC Hybrid Oven ovens are constructed for optimum performance. It is important to heat
the oven gradually if water has come in contact with the oven.
If water gets absorbed by oven, small cracks might appear if quick oven heating occurs.
About your refractory oven:
A refractory material is one that
retains its strength at
high
temperatures. Your oven’s
refractory material can withstand
temperatures up to 2400 degrees.
Unlike other ovens in the industry
that are multi
–pieced and joined
together with mortar, your oven is
shaped as one piece allowing it to be
moved maintaining its shape and
aesthetics of a century’s old oven.
This shape enables the best
functional heat distribution in the
oven. Its two inch wall thickness
reflects enough heat back to the
inside of the oven, and the
temperature on the outside of the
oven remains one third of the inside
temperature; optimizing heat
retention
.
3 heat sources and
temperatures that exceed
1000°
Important information:
Once your oven is poured and
removed from its mold, it goes
through a drying process that allows
water to evaporate. Glass is
mortared using a proprietary
formula that will withstand the high
heat generated during normal
operation. In order to properly cure
the glass to the oven a heat up
schedule should be properly
performed. During your first oven
firing, small water molecules that
remained trapped in the refractory
during the drying process will come
out in a vapor form.
WOOD-OAK-ONLY!
Simple and very important for proper
operation.
-Use at least 1 year dried , debarked
1 1/2 to 3 inch diameter, 12 to 14
inch long OAK. You’ll have
consistency during operation, no
smoke, no popping ambers on to
your food, intense heat and a great
smell.
Your oven’s first firing:
First time firing- heat up with gas only.
1. Start with a 1/2 inch very low flame on
the gas burner for 2 hours.
2. Raise flame to 1 1/2 inch in size for 1
hour.
3. Increase flame to 2 1/2 for 1 hour
4. Stoke with kindling on the burner to
continue to raise oven’s temperature
for another 1 hour
5. Do not use door during first firing
6. Complete at least 5 hours for the first
firing
Important:
Follow oven curing instructions to maximize the
longevity
of your oven.
Do not heat up the oven too quickly. It will
damage the tile.
