INITIAL OVEN START-UP
IMPORTANT:
If at any time you feel that either or both of the burners are not operating properly, turn the oven off and call for
service Before servicing, disconnect the electrical supply at the breaker and turn off the gas supply at the appliance’s individual
gas shutoff valve In the event of a power failure, no attempt should be made to operate the oven
Your oven was cured at the factory However in the course of shipment, storage on site, etc the ceramic materials will have
absorbed moisture It is critical that the Initial Oven Start-up procedure below be followed to ensure that this moisture is driven
from the ceramic in a controlled fashion This will minimize cracking and prevent damage to the oven that could otherwise occur
by bringing the oven to temperature rapidly the first time it is used
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
This Initial Oven Start-up procedure need only be followed the first time the oven is fired and/or if the oven has not been used for
an extended period of time
FIRST DAY
1.
Make sure exhaust fan is properly wired and interlocked to the appliance
2.
Make sure main gas supply is ON (valve parallel with gas line)
3.
Push I/O button on controller The exhaust fan should come on as well It may take a while for the gas to purge all the air
from the gas lines (Verify both burners light If only one is lite, check that the Burner Disable switch on the front panel is in
the ON position
4.
Once the burner(s) ignite(s), make sure the flame is at its lowest setting and allow the appliance to operate at this setting for
about 1 hour
5.
After 1 hour, using the Flame Height Control Knob, raise radiant flame to “2” on the Flame Height Index Scale
6.
After 4 hours a raise to “3” on the Flame Height Index Scale and allow the appliance to run until it reaches a temperature of
260 °C (500 °F) This will take approximately 3–4 hours
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 3 mm (1/8") wide or more develop, contact Wood Stone for evaluation
