DO NOT POUR OR SPRAY LIQUIDS ONTO THE OVEN DECK OR INTO THE OVEN INTERIOR AS
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE CERAMIC AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
There is a stainless steel burner guard to prevent food from falling on and thereby obstructing the gas orifices of the radiant flame�
If food gets into the radiant flame well and the flame is visibly obstructed, turn the oven off immediately, and call for service�
DO NOT USE THE RADIANT BURNER WELL AS A DUMP FOR DEBRIS OR TRASH INCINERATION;
MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO KEEP DEBRIS FROM DROPPING INTO THE WELL.
OVEN EXTERIOR
All painted and stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned as necessary using a mild detergent, hot water and a soft cloth or
sponge� Stubborn residues may be removed using a nonmetallic scouring pad� When scouring stainless steel surfaces, scrub
with the grain of the metal to prevent scratching�
GAS-FIRED OVEN THERMAL CLEANING
If a Wood Stone gas-fired oven is operated at low temperatures (below 525 °F), you may notice a buildup on the oven floor� Note
that this floor buildup may be perceived as the floor flaking away� If you operate the oven below 450 °F, you may also notice
some buildup on the interior walls and/or ceiling of the oven� To remove any buildup that has accumulated inside of the oven,
simply turn the radiant flame to its highest setting� Monitor the hearth floor temperature displayed on the controller� When the
floor reaches 650 °F, lower the flame slightly so as to maintain the oven floor temperature near 650 °F for about an hour� Heavy
accumulations may require more time� Heavy accumulations on the floor may require some additional scraping with a utility peel
or a floor scraping tool� Once the oven appears clean, allow the oven to return to normal operating temperatures and continue
normal operation�
BURNER TRAY
At 6–12 month intervals, depending on the amount of usage, the burner tray beneath the oven should be removed and emptied
of any accumulated debris� To remove: unscrew the wing nut at the back of the burner tray� See location in the EXPLODED PARTS
DIAGRAM section� There should be very little debris in the tray if the oven is being operated properly�
WOOD-FUELED MODELS: WOOD HANDLING AND ASH DISPOSAL
Wood should be stored and handled in accordance with the recommendations outlined in NFPA 96� The interior floor and dome
of the oven do not require creosote or soot removal� The oven flue and exhaust system will require inspection and cleaning� The
exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned per the manufacturer's and or local code official's recommendations�
Dispose of ash per the following:
place ashes into a metal container with a tight fitting lid� The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal�
They should be retained in the closed container until all the cinders have thoroughly cooled� Ashes can then be disposed of
safely�
Wood Stone’s stainless steel ash shovel and, Double Compartment Ash Dolly disposal system is a safe and convenient way to
dispose of ash� See specifications on woodstone-corp�com or call your dealer or Wood Stone for details�
