RFG-IR-W Oven Installation and Operation Manual

PERIODIC THERMAL CLEANING
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 floor temperatures
lower than 450 degrees Fahrenheit, 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 type of wood burned
to fuel the oven, and by how long the oven is operated at temperatures
low enough to allow buildup to occur.
THERMAL CLEANING
Gas-fired RFG-IR, and RFG-IR-W Ovens If a Wood Stone gas-fired
oven is operated at low temperatures (below 400 degrees Fahrenheit), 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 degrees Fahrenheit, lower the flame slightly so as to maintain
the oven floor temperature near 600 degrees for about an hour. Once the
oven dome appears clean, allow the oven to return to normal operating
temperatures and continue normal operation.
