RFG Oven Installation and Operation Manual
OVEN STARTUP
INITIAL OVEN STARTUP
FIRST DAY
1. Make sure main gas supply is on (valve parallel with gas line).
2. Make sure the switch on the Honeywell control gas valve is in the ON position.
3. Remove the night door(s). Push ON/OFF button on controller. It may take a while for
the gas to purge all the air from the gas lines.
4. Allow oven to operate with the radiant flame at its lowest setting for 1 hour.
5. After one hour, raise dome flame to 25% (~6 inch flame), hold this setting for 4 hours.
6. After 4 hours @ 25% flame, raise to 50% flame and hold for at least another 4 hours.
The oven can be left at this setting all night.
SECOND DAY
1. Turn the radiant flame to 75% height.
The floor temperature should reach 500 degrees in about an hour. The oven is
now ready for cooking, go to it!!
General Daily Oven Operation
END OF THE DAY
1. Push ON/OFF button, all gas will go off,
even the pilot.
2. Put oven night door(s) in place to retain heat.
BEGINNING OF THE DAY
1. Remove the night door(s).
2. Push ON/OFF button and turn the radiant flame to its highest setting.
Oven should stabi-
lize at your desired temperature in 60 to 90 minutes.
CLEANING THE OVEN
1. As needed (twice per hour), use the floor brush to sweep stray food debris to the doorway,
where it can be easily removed with a dough cutter or spatula.
2. As needed, swab the deck using a damp (not wet) rag wrapped around the floor brush.
NEVER PLACE ANYTHING IN OR ABOVE THE RADIANT FLAME
HOW TO READ FLOOR TEMPERATURE
The floor temperature is continuously displayed by the controller in the window labeled "hearth
temperature". This reading is being taken by a thermocouple about an inch below the floor
surface, so the actual surface temperature may be somewhat different, and is best measured
using a non-contact (IR) thermometer.
Note: small "crazing" cracks will occur with normal heating and cooling.
They will not effect the performance or durability of the oven. If cracks
of 1/8" or more develop, contact Wood Stone for evaluation.
Never run the oven with the night door(s) in place.
