Assembly

 

The first step in the assembly of your new oven is to open the plastic wrap surrounding the 
oven.  Make sure NOT TO USE A BLADE, which can scratch the oven.  Once open, you will 
notice a tall skinny box, which contains the roof panels.  The cart, which is upside down on 
top of the oven, must be then carefully removed. WARNING, the cart contains oven parts, so 
these must be removed BEFORE cart removal.  This process is best done in two.  With one 
person on either side of the cart, lift straight up (chimney is exposed inside) and over the 
chimneystack, and flip so that the cart is sitting on the wheels.  Once in place, the cart must be 
placed (with handles facing AWAY from oven doors) directly in front of the oven.  At this 
point your oven should be on the pallet with the roof (insulation) exposed.  Now, to lift your 
oven you have two options: 

Option 1:  
Directly behind the chimneystack, and inside of the insulation you will find a cylinder that has 
been welded to the oven.  One can lift the oven by attaching directly to this cylinder using a 
forklift, winch, etc.   Making sure NO ONE is underneath the oven slowly lifted off of the 
pallet (which is then carefully removed) and roll cart underneath oven.  The oven can now be 
gently placed onto the cart so that the flanges fit properly (all sides of cart and oven are 
FLUSH).

Option 2:

First you need TWO pieces of rebar that are at least 12” longer than the width of the oven.  
One piece of rebar will be inserted into the square hole at the front bottom of the oven with at 
least 6” protruding on each side.   The second piece will be inserted into the square holes at 
the rear bottom of the oven with at least 6” protruding on each side.   The rebar will serve as 
‘handles’ in all four corners.   Making sure to lift with your legs and not your back, it is best to 
have FOUR individuals grab the rebar ‘handles’ and lift carefully.  Once in the air, the oven
