Bistro - Flat Wall Installation

This illustration reflects a Bistro Home 4343 oven but applies to the Bistro Home 3030 as well.

Note: Click on the individual graphics for close up views. Please be patient, some graphics have large file sizes (50-100K).


 

 

Step 1. The Base Oven
Figure 1 represents a standard Bistro oven.
The Bistro arrives with Stainless Steel front, sides and top, and a black painted stand. Many customers choose to install the oven with this finish as a "stand-alone" unit. For more details on the installation of this oven, please view our Installation Manual.

 



Step 2.  Connect Flue
Connect the Flue to the oven’s flue collar. Please note this flue must be a “grease duct”. Please see our Venting Guidelines Page for more details.

Installation manuals ship with the oven. You can also preview these manuals, or print off extra copies, at our Manuals Page.

 


 

Step 3. Build Stud Wall
The stud wall is built (in green). Metal studs are recommended. Consideration must be given to the wall framing position to insure the minimum one-inch offset from the back of the wall surface (sheetrock) to the oven sheet metal (see Offset Detail).

In addition, the studs on either side of the doorway must be far enough apart so that when sheet rock and tile are installed, the Service Panel can still be removed for oven service.  If the service panel is going to be covered with a facade application, you must order your unit with a Perforated Toe Kick to allow room for combustion air.

Step 4. Non-Combustibles
Seen here in yellow is the non-combustible wallboard. This is required directly over the oven doorway and 6" on either side of the doorway.

Non-combustible material is also required anywhere the façade touches the oven or the mantle. In this illustration, the non-combustible wallboard is used as flashing from the studs to either side of the service panel and contacts the edge of the mantle.

 

 

Step 5. The Finished Product
The wall can  be finished with any decorative material that can be easily affixed to the wall surface such as tile, stucco, sheet metal, brick etc. Note: It is necessary for the proper operation of our ovens that the Radiant Flame Control Knob be fully accessible after all finishing is completed. Please see the Radiant Knob Detail. This knob controls temperature in our gas ovens, if you cannot adjust the knob you cannot adjust the temperature
