ENCLOSING THE OVEN Your Mugnaini Oven is now ready for the final step of the construction process – which relies entirely on your level of creativity and desired architectural effect. The oven enclosure protects the oven from atmospheric moisture, supplies ventilation to the oven (so that condensation does not occur within the compartment), and retains the insulating materials placed over and around the oven crown itself.

CURING YOUR MUGNAINI WOOD-FIRED OVEN This manual covers the following Mugnaini series models: 180×140 AOS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING A FIRE AND CURING YOUR OVEN FOR USE WITH SOLID WOOD FUEL ONLY WARNING FOLLOW THE COMPLETE CURING SCHEDULE BEFORE COOKING IN THIS OVEN.
OVEN CURING INSTRUCTIONS Your Mugnaini wood-fired oven is made from Refrattari Cotto or refractory clay. The water used to form the clay must be cooked out before your oven can be put into use. Curing is the process of slowly heating an oven to first drive out the moisture from the oven components and surrounding mass, and then to temper the oven dome.
HOW TO MEASURE OVEN TEMPERATURE Mugnaini wood-fired ovens will self regulate based on the size of the flame and the floor temperature. We measure temperature inside a wood-fired oven with an infrared thermometer for accuracy. By checking the floor temperature, using visual cues and flame size we can create distinct repeatable oven environments for different styles of cooking.
Prior to starting the next fire, open the door slowly and measure the temperature of the sides of the dome paying attention to use the same spot each time you measure. Average left and right side temperatures and record on the chart. Commercial 180 x 140 Wood AOS Manual Mugnaini Imports, Inc.
