VENTING DO’S AND DON’TS
VENTING DO’S AND DON’TS
When installing a Wood Stone Mountain Series oven there are some basic guidelines to follow regarding oven venting
that will help ensure proper operation and performance of the gas burners on the oven� These guidelines will also help
prevent damage to the oven's gas and electrical components due to improper venting and installation� Damage caused
by improper venting and installation is not covered by the oven warranty� This information applies to all Wood Stone
Mountain Series (MS) ovens equipped with one or more gas burners�
Most Wood Stone Mountain Series ovens are built into some sort of wall structure or enclosure� This creates the potential
for different venting scenarios that can be detrimental to the operation and performance of the oven burners� Here are
some basic rules that to follow that will ensure a properly functioning oven installation� Illustrated examples are included
on the following pages�
RULE 1
The
ONLY
pathway for air to enter the space beneath the oven should be at the front of the oven at the perforated
opening in the oven Service Panel provided with the oven, or on ovens equipped with an optional Storage Box, through
the perforations provided on the oven Storage Box� This will eliminate the chance of air movement or cross drafts
beneath the oven that can disrupt the oven burners�
RULE 2
DO NOT
block the flow of air through the front Service Panel� It is required to provide necessary combustion air to the
oven burners� Airflow and service access
MUST
be provided from the front of the oven only at this Service Panel�
DO
NOT
relocate the oven air intake
(see Rule 1).
RULE 3
To ensure proper venting of the oven, you must use an appropriate exhaust fan as described in this manual� There must
also be an adequate source of make-up air provided to your kitchen space—the room that the oven opens into� The
make-up air supply should not point directly at the oven� Other than the oven Service Panel, do not provide make-up air
or other ventilation into an enclosure that surrounds the oven
(see Rule 1).
Without proper make-up air the oven, (or any
gas equipment), will not vent and operate correctly�
