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�

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

All of the combustion products and cooking vapors from the WS-BL-4343-W and WS-BL-4355-W Bistro models pass through the
10-inch diameter flue collar located on top of the oven, near the front� The oven can be direct connected to a power ventilated,
grease-rated duct, or placed under a Type 1 hood� All wood-fired (wood only, without gas burner) models are listed to allow the
burning of up to 20 lbs of wood per hour, and MUST be vented as SOLID FUEL equipment� DO NOT OVER FIRE THE OVEN.
The following are the manufacturer’s requirements for venting Wood Stone Bistro Line ovens� It is never appropriate to
use “B vent” in any part of an exhaust system connected to a Wood Stone oven� All duct material must be manufactured
to the specifications of a grease duct� Due to the possibility of sparks entering the duct, exhaust systems serving SOLID
FUEL equipment SHOULD NOT be combined with exhaust systems serving other (non-solid fuel) cooking equipment�
THERE ARE TWO VENTING OPTIONS
1. A Listed building heating appliance chimney, also listed as a grease duct connected directly to the oven flue collar and
provided with a power ventilator listed for restaurant appliance exhaust and rated for operation at a minimum of 300 °F, 450
°F for units burning solid fuel� Use a stack or curb mounted fan� Wood Stone does not recommend the use of an in-line fan�
A field built grease duct installed and constructed according to the requirements spelled out in NFPA 96, or the International
Mechanical Code may also be used� For solid fuel applications a static pressure of -0�14 inches water column is necessary
at the oven flue collar to ensure proper flue temperatures� The airflow required to attain this static pressure will depend on
the configuration of your particular installation but will probably be approximately 400 CFM�
2. A Listed Type 1 Exhaust Hood or one that is constructed and installed in accordance with NFPA 96 and all relevant local and
national Codes� Wood Stone offers eyebrow-type hoods designed specifically for Wood Stone ovens manufactured by Gaylord
Industries�
FIRE SUPPRESSION
Check with your local code officials to see if fire suppression is required in your area� If fire suppression is required, you must vent
the oven using a Type 1 hood constructed and installed in accordance with NFPA 96� The fusible link in the hood must be rated at
450 °F minimum� Wood Stone offers UL Listed exhaust hoods for our ovens that are pre-piped for ANSUL R-102 fire suppression�
All installations are subject to the approval of the local authority having jurisdiction�

EXPLODED PARTS VIEW

Follow these instructions only if the oven was shipped disassembled, or disassembled to move through a
narrow door or passageway.
The oven should 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 for proper ventilation� 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�
Please see woodstone-corp�com/installation_footprints�htm for floor loading information�
2. Use the 3/8" x 1" carriage bolts to assemble the
stand� Be sure to use the washers provided and
to tighten nuts and bolts securely�

ASSEMBLY

3. Using a forklift, carefully lower the body of the oven
on to the stand so that the bolt holes line up� While
supporting the oven with the lift, install the 3/8-inch
x 1-inch carriage bolts� Use the washers provided
and tighten all nuts securely� Be sure to use the
forklift pockets when lifting the body of the oven�
4. After the oven body is bolted to the stand, 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, leave access to the back of the oven until the assembly is completed�
CAUTION: The 4343 model Bistro weighs approximately 1,700 lbs. The 4355 model Bistro weighs approximately 2,200
lbs. The oven is very top-heavy. IF THE OVEN TIPS IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH! The oven should only be
moved using a pallet pack on a LEVEL FLOOR. Do not attempt to move the oven with a hand truck. If the oven must be
moved over an inclined surface, a forklift or other suitable means should be employed. If the installer does not have the
equipment or experience required to move the oven safely, we recommend you secure the services of a qualified rigging
company.
Make sure the pallet jack
wheels do not contact the
underside of the fork pocket
when lifting to avoid damaging
the stand.
Never attempt to use a hand
truck to move the oven.
The oven should only be moved
using a pallet jack on a LEVEL
FLOOR. If the oven must be
moved over an inclined surface,
