INIMUM CLEARANCES

P

lease refer to the Minimum Clearance Diagram

1

. Build your oven in such an area where smoke will not infiltrate your home or homes close to

you. The minimum clearance from combustibles is 30 inches (762 mm) to each side of the door
opening, and 36 inches (914 mm) in front of the door opening. The minimum clearance from non­combustible materials to the oven is 3” from the side walls, 24” from the top of the oven and 1”
from side of the oven base. WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED CLEARANCES (AIR SPACES)
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

2. Check that there is adequate clearance at the ceiling. A height of 83 inches is needed for a
basic installation with direct venting.

3. Check that there is a minimum clearance of 3 inches around assembled oven (measured off of
the fiber insulation blanket and wire mesh) to any adjacent sidewall construction composed of
combustibles. Any adjacent combustible sidewalls which projects beyond the front of the oven
opening must be a minimum of 48 inches, measured from the side of the oven opening closest to
the wall to the surface of the wall. If the distance is less than 48 inches a wall shield must be
mounted on the wall. Any adjacent combustible floor which projects in front of the oven opening
must be a minimum of 30 inches away from each side of the door opening and 36 inch from the
front of the door opening.

• NOTE: 3” minimum clearance is measured from the outer edge of the diamond lath mesh, not the oven refractory.
