INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

RECEIVING THE OVEN

Your oven will be shipped via Common Carrier from our Watsonville, California facility. You will need a
forklift to remove the crated oven from the truck. Once o the truck the oven can be moved with a pallet
jack. We will notify you when your oven is shipped and provide you with the PRO number (tracking
number) and the trucking company’s contact number. It is always important to call the trucking company
in advance to coordinate the delivery.

NOTE: Once your oven is loaded onto a truck you have created a contract between you and the
trucking company. Mugnaini Imports does not control the delivery of your oven.

Delivery Location

Proper planning is essential to a successful delivery. Be realistic about where you plan to take delivery of
your oven; residential ovens are large and top heavy! Be sure to take into account the size of your oven
and entry into your building. It is common to remove doors, windows or open walls to gain access. Seek
out a qualied professional to ensure you are prepared for your installation. The trucker will require a at,
level surface safe from trac. A forklift will need to maneuver to remove the crated oven from the truck
and place it on the ground for un-crating.

NOTE: It is your responsibility to have a safe delivery location for the trucking company.
Re-delivery and re-consignment fees may be assessed if the oven cannot be o loaded. If you do not
have a safe or convenient location for unloading the truck, consider receiving the oven at another
location and having a professional deliver the oven to your location.

UNLOADING, MOVING AND SETTING THE OVEN

Unloading the Oven: Forklift Required!

The oven is shipped bolted to a sturdy pallet with open slat walls on all sides to allow for visual inspection.
Remove the crated oven from the truck using the appropriate forklift (see Receiving the Oven). Be sure
the forks are long enough to reach the rear supporting members of the crate.

IF THE FORKS ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE ENTIRE CRATE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE
THE OVEN - IT WILL TIP OVER. OBTAIN ANOTHER FORKLIFT OR USE FORK EXTENSIONS.

Once the oven is lifted from the truck immediately lower it to the ground, do not attempt to move the
oven while crated. Remove the plastic wrap and inspect the oven. Note any damage to the crate, oven
or accessories.

base and sides of the crate. The wooden slats that form the walls and roof are attached with screws, nails

Moving the Oven

Use the forklift to move the oven (paying careful attention to the grade) to the entry point of the
restaurant. You may lift from any side but make sure to lift at the base of the oven body letting the steel
stand hang below. The stand can be removed if necessary.

Once the oven has been placed near or inside of the restaurant, use the pallet jack to move the oven to
the installation location. It may be necessary to place steel bars or heavy wood beams across the forks
of the pallet jack to fully engage the pallet jack. Move into place and slowly lower. You can make ne
adjustments using a long pry bar or length of wood against the stand to nudge the oven into place. Shim
as necessary to level oven.

Lift from under the body of the oven

Move with pallet jack under stand

Use bar across pallet jack to support oven
