ESTABLISHING A THERMAL CLEANING SCHEDULE
Wood Stone ovens are typically operated at temperatures which preclude the need for cleaning of the interior walls and
ceiling (the dome) of the oven� if however, you routinely operate the oven at hearth temperatures lower than 450 °F, you
may notice a buildup on the interior walls and/or ceiling of the oven� if this is the case, use the following procedure to
periodically clean the oven� the frequency of thermal cleaning will be determined by the amount of buildup experienced�
the amount and rate of buildup will largely be determined by the types of food cooked in the oven, and by how long the
oven is operated at temperatures low enough to allow buildup to occur�
THERMAL CLEANING
Gas-fired Oven:
if a Wood Stone gas-fired oven is operated at low temperatures (below 450 °F), it is possible that grease
from food could condense on the walls and ceiling of the oven� to remove the grease that has accumulated on the walls
and ceiling of the oven, simply turn the radiant flame to its highest setting� monitor the floor temperature displayed on
the controller� When the floor reaches 600 °F, lower the flame slightly so as to maintain the oven floor temperature near
600 °F for about an hour� Once the oven dome appears clean, allow the oven to return to normal operating temperatures
and continue normal operation�
