INITIAL OVEN START-UP (RFG)
INITIAL OVEN START-UP
NOTE:
The ceramic materials used in the construction of your Wood Stone oven will absorb moisture if exposed to high humidity
or damp conditions during shipment from the factory or extended periods of storage before installation� Occasionally, through the
course of the Initial Start-Up, as the oven heats up it is possible that you will see some water dripping from the sides of the oven
as moisture is driven out of the ceramic� This is not a defect in the oven, and once the oven has been fully saturated with heat, the
moisture will be driven fully from the oven� After this initial process, you will not see any additional moisture from the oven unless
the oven is not used for an extended period of time AND it is exposed to excessive moisture or high humidity�
FIRST DAY
1.
Make sure exhaust fan is properly wired and interlocked to the appliance and main gas supply is ON (valve parallel with gas
line)�
2.
Push I/O button on Controller(s), leaving Broiler off during the Start-Up process� (See BROILER OPERATION section for Broiler
Lighting instructions�) It may take a while for the gas to purge all the air from the gas lines� The exhaust fan should come on
as well�
3.
Once the burner ignites, make sure the flame is at its lowest setting, “1” and allow the appliance to operate at this setting for
about 1 hour�
4.
After 1 hour, raise Radiant flame to 25% (~5-inch flame, or ~2 on the Flame Height Control Index Scale) and hold this setting
for 4 hours�
5.
After 4 hours, raise radiant flame height to 50% (~3 on the Flame Height Index Scale) and hold another 4 hours� The oven can
be left at this setting all night�
6.
At this point, the oven is ready for use�
NOTE:
Small “crazing” cracks will occur with normal heating and cooling� They will not affect the performance or durability of the
oven� If cracks of 1/8" wide or more develop, contact Wood Stone for evaluation�
