Delivery & Inspection
GX-Series ovens are shipped via common courier on pallets
similar to the image above.
Be sure to inspect the shipment for damages that may
have occurred in shipping. If there are any damages to the
packaging SIGN FOR IT AS “DAMAGED” or refuse delivery.
The ovens are well-packaged and damages seldom occur.
If you sign for the delivery as “No Damages,” then you are
responsible for ling any damage claim with the freight carrier.
Upon signing for the oven, please promptly open the
packaging to inspect for any potential damages. Damages
reported after three days following delivery are assumed to
have happened after delivery. Please contact your dealer with
questions.
List of Materials
Shipments will include the following items:
1. GX Series Wood-Fired Oven
2. Temperature Gauge
3. Stainless Steel Chimney
4. Stainless Steel Chimney Cap
5. Stainless Steel Removable Oven Shelf
6. Optional Steel Base including:
a. Two Poly Swivel Stem Casters
b. Two Poly Swivel Stem Casters with
Brake
c. Caster Installation hardware including

7. Optional Cover
Tools Required for Assembly
• Adjustable crescent wrench
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Pliers
• Cutting tool (to open packaging)
Installation Instructions
1. Remove all outside and inside packaging
materials from the oven. It is recommended
to assemble oven on a moving pad or card
board to prevent scratching parts.
2. Assemble Optional Stand. If not purchased,
proceed to step 3.
a. Set the stand on its side
b. Attach wheels, one wheel at a time as
follows:
i. Slide the stem of the wheel
through the bottom of the stand
ii. Slide washer onto wheel stem
iii. Afx locknut to stem. Ensure

WARNING: IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT TWO OR MORE PEOPLE LIFT
OVEN DUE TO ITS WEIGHT.
3. Insert the thermometer into the hole provided directly above
the cooking chamber. From the inside of the oven, afx the
washer and nut. Tighten until snug, do NOT over-tighten.
4. Before installing cap on ue, pre-t ue onto oven to ensure
it ts snugly. It may be necessary to try both ends of the ue to
determine the best t.
5. Install cap on the ue. To t the cap, simply rotate down
onto the ue by pressing the two parts together.
6. Install ue onto oven. The ue is intentionally designed to
t tightly. Install by rotating the ue downward with force.

and screws from each side of the cooking chamber and re
chamber door (total of four, two on each door) with pliers to
ensure doors close properly.

Built-In Kitchen Installation
The GX-CM, GX-DL, GX-CS, ovens may be built into
non-combustible outdoor kitchens.
WARNING: ALL COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 36”
FROM THE UNIT. WHEN BUILDING INTO
A FULL MASONRY INSTALLATION AS
SHOWN BELOW, PROVIDE A MINUMUM
OF 3” AIRSPACE TO THE REAR OF THE
OVEN AND ALLOW AN EXHAUST FOR
HEAT TO ESCAPE.
The following diagram illustrates options for masonry
installation: Model GX-CM
Your GX Series Wood-Fired Oven can reach very
high temperatures. As a wood-burning appliance,
the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
recommends the following clearances from
combustible materials for front, back and sides:
Oven 36”
Chimney pipe 18”
Distances can be reduced if a protective shield with
1” spacers is installed. Any installation of a GX Series
Wood-Fired oven must comply with applicable building
standards, regulations and laws.
Inmar Industries Inc. does not accept liability
for any damage resulting from improper use or
installation of this product.

Set shelf hinge upon oven side, aligning the holes and
matching the holes with the stickers marked side “A” and side
“B.” See picture on following page.
Insert screws back into the side of the oven using the Phillips
head screw driver. Do not tighten rmly until all screws are
installed.
Note: Aligning the screws with the holes on the side shelves is
easier if not tightened.
WARNING: OVER-TIGHTENING SCREWS
CAN STRIP THEM.
Repeat on Side B.
The shelf support arm is found on the bottom of each shelf.
Remove the arm and t it onto the oven base by sliding the
ends into the pre-tabbed female hinges located on the base.
Initial Operating Instructions
NOTE: It is very important that your new oven be seasoned
before use.
On initial ring, leave both the Cooking Chamber Door and
the Fire Chamber Door open for a minimum of one (1) hour at
approximately 450 to 500 Degrees Fahrenheit. This will allow
the temperature resistant paint to fully cure and disburse any
associated fumes before cooking is commenced.

Stainless Steel Side Handle
Instructions
All models now include a set of stainless steel handles
designed to lift and manouver the oven more easily.
Stainless steel brackets attach to the oven body with
bolts supplied. Bolt handle to brackets with bolts
supplied.
Ignition Instructions
1. Place two small pieces of Kiln-Dried Firewood*
perpendicular to the wood chamber opening (to create
an air space for additional rewood).
2. Place three to four pieces of kiln-dried rewood
parallel to the wood chamber opening across the top
of the rst two pieces. There should be approximately
2” of space between the wood and the bottom of the
wood burning chamber.
3. Place one or two re starters or crumpled
newspaper underneath the rewood.
4. Ignite the re starter according to instructions.
• Allow approximately 40 minutes for the re to
reach maturity.
• Note: Wet rewood burns poorly and may
prevent oven from reaching optimal
temperature.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FUEL
ACCELERANTS TO START FIRE.
Regulating Temperature
1. Regulating the cooking chamber temperature can
be achieved two ways:
• Adjust the air grate on the face of the oven by
sliding the handle from side to side.
• Adding rewood may increase temperature.
2. To maintain temperatures of 700˚F or higher, an
additional piece or two of wood may be required every
20-30 minutes. The oven will maintain temperatures of
350˚F + for several hours by adding one or two pieces
of wood per hour. Wood efciency is impacted
by grade or type of wood, wood moisture content,
altitude, outdoor temperatures and general weather
conditions.
3. When more rewood is needed, open the re
chamber and add wood. Be sure to either have the
cooking chamber empty or to have food covered when
adding rewood as FLY ASH may rise into the cooking
chamber.

CAUTION: THE OVEN CAN GET VERY
HOT. GLOVES OR OVEN MITTS ARE
RECOMMENDED WHEN OPENING WOOD
CHAMBER AND COOKING CHAMBER
DOORS.
Maintenance Instructions
GX-Series Wood-Fired Ovens are constructed from steel,
Grade 304 stainless steel, refractory rebrick, cooking stone
and high temperature insulation. We recommend the following
to keep your oven looking good and operating efciently:
• Clean re chamber before use. Use any small brush or
ash pan to clean out the re chamber in the same fashion
as a replace.
• Cover oven during periods of prolonged non-usage to
protect from the elements. An Optional Cover may be
purchased from your dealer.
• If not properly maintained and stored, steel will rust. This
will not affect the functionality of the oven. Clean exterior
of oven with steel cleaner and a soft lint-free cloth regularly
as needed. If the oven gets scratched exposing the steel,
apply high temperature touch-up paint. See your local
dealer for recommendations on high-temperature touch-up
paint.
