CURING THE OVEN
Note:
In cold or humid climates it is recommended that the minimal curing period be extended to ensure completion.
Initial firing procedures
The oven must be cured so as to remove moisture that has accumulated during the
installation. Therefore, the initial firing is the single most critical component in
completing a good installation. Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper
operation of your oven for many years to come.

affect curing time. Add or remove alcohol cans to reach desired temperature of 325-
350F. The first set of cans will burn for 2.5 hours. Once the first set is empty, light the
second round same as the first. The second set of cans will burn for another 1.5 hours.
Continue to monitor the oven temperature periodically w/ the hand held temperature gun.
Cooler climates may require a third round of cans. When second cans run out of fuel and
the flame is expended, close the oven door. Allow oven to cool down overnight.
On the next morning, remove oven door.
Caution: Oven may still be hot!
Note: Local ambient air temperature may require more canned hear to achieve 350F.
Second firing-5 hours
