Bistro CE Installation and Operation Manual

If you received your Bistro oven fully assembled, but need to disassemble the oven to move it through a narrow door or passageway,
go to the DISASSEMBLY section�
If you received your Bistro oven fully assembled, the oven can be moved into place with a pallet jack using the LOWER forklift
pockets� If the oven is to be installed against a wall, you may need to leave access to the back of the oven to complete the utility
connections�
PLACING THE OVEN
The oven must be installed on a flat level surface� The weight of the oven is carried by the full perimeter of the oven stand� If it is
necessary to shim the oven for leveling purposes, it is critical that the shim material be metal, and that the shims are installed in
such a way that the full perimeter of the stand is solidly supported� Any gaps created by shimming between the oven and the floor
must be sealed� Failure to solidly support the full perimeter of the oven stand can result in costly damage to the oven and
will void the warranty.
The floor design and construction must be adequate to handle the weight of the oven�
