Place back the frontal panel Follow the steps for models with cupboard below Option 1 Option 213 4.3. Smoke extraction When the oven is installed in the interior of a closed building an hood extract of sufcient dimensions is required. The hood extract must have a suitable depth in order to cover the opening of the oven and stand out laterally by 5.9”on both sides. Installation of the exhaust hood in accordance with the standard NFPA 96. Dissipating filter: This is installed over the rebreak. It lters and spreads the ow of air, slowing it down and dropping its tem- perature. To guarantee the correct operation of the said components, the recommended charcoal loads mentioned in point 5.1 should be respected. Firebreak: Is installed where the smoke leaves the oven. Its function is to prevent ames or sparks from escaping the oven. MIBRASA

Protective components14 This type of installation consists of an exhaust hood, which is independent of the oven. Installation of the rebreak and the dissipating lter are needed. For ductwork and ventilation types see point 4.3. Installation options Table showing exhaust hood measurements and required flow rates:

1) Oven with independent extraction

2) Oven installed under exhaust hood with other cooking appliances.

General ventilation ductwork It is necessary to install the oven with the rebreak and dissipating lter. This will prevent sparks and ames from escaping the oven. The smoke will be ltered reducing the ow and cooling its temperature down prior to contact with the ventilation system.

6. Safety and maintenance

6.1. Daily cleaning Do not use chemical products or water to clean the inside of the oven. Grills: Clean using the grill brush before and after each use. Ash collector: Open the ash collector, use the ash shovel by Mibrasa

to remove the ash and transfer to a metal container with a tight-tted lid. If you think it is necessary, you can remove the ash collector from the oven completely to facilitate cleaning. Once the ashes have completely cooled down they can be disposed of or used as fertilizer. WARNING Do not dispose the ashes in a ammable-container or heat-deformable container. Space between the door and the frame: This should always be kept clean so that it can be closed properly. 6.2. Weekly cleaning Dissipating filter: Remove the dissipating lter from the oven. Clean the inside part. Firebreak: Remove the rebreak from the oven. Shake gently from side to side to allow the ash to fall. Never clean with water as the ash will stick to the base and can be difcult to remove. Charcoal Grids: Remove the grids and use the grill brush to clean the slits. It is important for the operation of the oven to keep the slits clear of ash and debris. Ash collector: Remove the ash collector and clean away any ash and cinders remaining. A build-up of ash can make closing the ash collector difcult. 6.3. Special care Exhaust hood It is very important to keep the exhaust hood lters clean to avoid a build up of soot, fat and creosote

which could result in a possible re. Mibrasa

is not responsible for any damages occurred caused by wrongful use, when the instal- lation instructions have not been followed or wrongful maintenance of the exhaust hood.

Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool oven ue and exhaust hood of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot re. The oven ue should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when creosote buildup has occurred. When creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce risk of re.20 Please read this entire manual before you install the oven. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. 6.4. Safety standards WARNINGS
