4. INSTALATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Due to the heavy weight of the ovens it is recommended using mechanical means for moving
and/or lifting.
- Worktop models: MB MINI, 75, 110, 160; MB SB 75, 110, 160
Countertop models should be placed on a fireproof material table or stand, preferably metals:
stainless steel, etc. Such support must be strong enough to support the weight of the oven.
The height of the table or stand for MB MINI oven should be about 85 cm, and the height for
75/110/160 MB will be about 70 cm.
The elevation of the oven has to be made using a mechanical elevator whenever its possible (Fig.1)
To reduce the maximum weight, we recommend removing the grills, the cast iron grids, the
support of the charcoal grids and the ash drawer.
Fig. 1

8
- Models with cupboard below: MB AB 75, 110, 160 ; MB AB SB 75, 110, 160
In order to attach the oven with the cupboard underneath, remove the grill, the cast iron bars, the
supports and the ashpan. Carefully insert the forks of a suitable lifting device all the way into the
space for the ashpan. Procede to attach (fig 1). Once in the correct position tighten the 4 bolts in
the interior of the cupboard (Fig.2).
Fig.1 Fig.2

9
- Models with full cupboard: MB AC 75, 110, 160
Remove the furniture beneath the cupboard. Place the cupboard in the desired position, open the
cupboard doors and remove the grill and dismantle the front of the oven by removing the bolts
found on both sides. Attach the oven to the cupboard below following the instructions given above
(models HMB AB 7 , 110,160) (Fig. 1). Finally replace the components of the oven and the
cupboard above, reinstall the grill and reassemble the front of the oven (Fig. 2).
Fig.1 Fig.2

4.2 FUME EXTRACTION
When the oven is installed in the interior of a closed building an extractor hood of sufficient
dimensions will be required.
The extractor hood must have a suitable depth in order to cover the opening of the oven and stand
out laterally by 1 0mm on both sides.
The tubing must be either galvanized steel or stainless steel, straight and well sealed throughout. It
is important to avoid installing horizontal tubing to avoid the build up of liquid and solid residues. It
is recommended that the tubing is finished with a jet type impulsion cap in order to improve the
removal of smoke.
MIBRASA® protective components:
Firebreak: Is installed where the smoke Dissipating filter: This is installed over the
leaves the oven. Its function is to prevent firebreak. It filters and spreads the flow of
the escape off lames or sparks. air slowing it down and lowering its
temperature
INSTALLATION OPTIONS:
- Oven with independent extraction.
This type of installation consists of an extractor hood, which is
independent of the oven. To make this possible the filtration system
must be installed in the front part of the extractor hood. The tubing
must be either galvanized or stainless steel, 300mm in diameter up to
the highest part of the building. Installation of the firebreak and the
dissipating filter are recommended.
Table of hood measurements and required flow rates:

- Oven installed under extractor hood with other cooking appliances.
General tubing:
It is necessary to install the oven with the
firebreak and dissipating filter. In this way the
possible escape of sparks or flames are
avoided, the fumes are filtered and the flow of
smoke is gently reduced, cooling its
temperature prior to contact with the
ventilation system.
Independent tubing:
In this case we install the firebreak and an
independent chimney to the exterior of the
building. The diameter of the tube must be Ø
1 0/200mm. The connection between the
firebreak and the chimney is created by means
of a chute of an adequate size so that the
firebreak can be removed for cleaning or
maintenance purposes.
Consult current local regulations regarding the use of solid fuel ovens.

is set to a vertical position.
Place the damper to a vertical position.
Open the ashpan about 5 cm.
Position MIBRASA® firelighters in three places; one in the centre of the oven and one either side
of the heap of coal. Put a little piece of coal on top of the firelighters, to facilitate setting it alight.
Finally, light with a lighter.

5.3 BEFORE COOKING
Once the coal has been lit, you should wait at least 40 minutes, until the coal has totally burned
down to embers.
It is important not to start cooking until the charcoal has burned down to embers.
Once the embers are burning, close the ashpan, and leave to rest for a few minutes until the
flames die down.
Close the ashpan.
Note: Make sure the ashpan is permanently closed when cooking.
5.4 READY TO COOK
Depending on the quantity or variety of foods you want to cook, insert one or two of the grills
provided. The oven has a variety of different height settings to place the grills. The position of the
grill will depend on the type of product you are going to cook.
We recommend using the upper part for pizzas, jacket potatoes, gratin, etc.
The lower part should be used for cooking meat, fish, vegetables, etc.

Gently turn the draft regulator to a 4 º – 60 º angle so that the oven reaches a suitable
temperature for cooking. (See Fig. 1). Remember that the ashpan should remain closed when
cooking.
You can change the position of the draft regulator according to how high or how low the
temperature needs to be.
If smoke is coming through the door while cooking, open the draft regulator up enough just
enough until it stops (Fig.2).
Fig.1 Fig.2
5.5 AFTER USE
When you have finished using the oven, close the damper (Fig. 3) and check that the ashpan is
closed (Fig. 4). This way, the embers left over will burn slower and can be used again the next time.
Fig.3 Fig.4
5.6 USING T E OVEN AGAIN
Open the oven door and remove the grills (Fig. 1). Using the tongs provided, remove the charcoal
allowing the ash to fall down to the ashpan below.
Once the grates are free from ash, load the oven with charcoal again for its next use. Close the
oven door and follow the previous steps from .2 – .4.

6.2 DAILY CLEANING
It is not necessary to clean inside of the oven. The walls are self-cleaning.
Grills: Clean using the wire brush provided after each use.
Ashpan: Open the ashpan and use the shovel to remove the ash. If you think it is necessary, you
can remove the pan from the oven completely to facilitate cleaning. Remember not to pour the
ash into a flammable container.
Space between the door and the frame: This should always be kept clean so that it can be closed
properly.
6.3 WEEKLY CLEANING
Firebreak: Remove the firebreak 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 difficult to remove.
Cast Iron Grids: Remove the grids and use the wire brush provided to clean the slots inside the
oven. It is important to keep the slots clean.
Ashpan: Remove the ashpan and clean away any ash and cinders remaining. A buildup of ash can
make closing the door difficult.
6.4 SPECIAL CARE
Extractor ood and Tubes: It is very important the keep the Extractor Hood filters clean as well as
the interior and tubes, so as to avoid a buildup of soot and fat which could result in a possible fire.
We recommend using a double filter system for the Extractor Hood area where the oven is located.
MIBRASA® is not responsible for any damages occurred caused by wrongful use.
