VENTING DO’S AND DON’TS
When installing a Wood Stone Mountain Series oven there are some basic guidelines to follow regarding oven venting that will help
ensure proper operation and performance of the gas burners on the oven� These guidelines will also help prevent damage to the
oven's gas and electrical components due to improper venting and installation� Damage caused by improper venting and installation
is not covered by the oven warranty� This information applies to all Wood Stone Mountain Series (MS) ovens equipped with 1 or
more gas burners�
Most Wood Stone Mountain Series ovens are built into some sort of wall structure or enclosure� This creates the potential for
different venting scenarios that can be detrimental to the operation and performance of the oven burners� Here are some basic
rules that to follow that will ensure a properly functioning oven installation� Illustrated examples are included on the following pages�
RULE 1
The ONLY pathway for air to enter the space beneath the oven should be at the front of the oven at the perforated opening in the
oven service panel provided with the oven, or on ovens equipped with an optional storage box, through the perforations provided
on the oven storage box� This will eliminate the chance of air movement or cross drafts beneath the oven that can disrupt the oven
burners�
RULE 2
DO NOT
block the flow of air through the front service panel� It is required to provide necessary combustion air to the oven burners�
Airflow and service access MUST be provided from the front of the oven only at this service panel� DO NOT relocate the oven air
intake (see Rule 1).
RULE 3
To ensure proper venting of the oven, you must use an appropriate exhaust fan as described in this manual� There must also be
an adequate source of make-up air provided to your kitchen space (the room that the oven opens into)� The make-up air supply
should not point directly at the oven� Other than the oven service panel, do not provide make-up air or other ventilation into an
enclosure that surrounds the oven (see Rule 1). Without proper make-up air the oven, (or any gas equipment) will not vent and
operate correctly�
