its desired location,
make utility
connections at the
rear of the control
box. Gas and
electrical
connections must
comply with all
relevant national
and local
codes,and in a
manner acceptable
to the authority
having jurisdiction. Make the electrical
connection to the
terminals in this
junction box.
Connect the incoming
gas supply to the 3/4
inch NPT (female)
gas inlet.
Knockouts are provided on the sides of the oven stand for the incoming gas and
electrical supplies. If necessary, holes may be drilled in the back panel for the
incoming gas and electrical.Gas and electrical supplies should be routed in such
a way that they do not interfere with the removal of the the oven burner, or block
the access to the space under the oven for service.The area beneath the burner
needs to be kept clear of conduit and piping to allow for removal of the burner for
service.The rear panel must be installed!
A 3/4 inch full-flow gas shut-off valve should be installed on the gas supply near
the oven in such a way that it is readily accessible.
This appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local and
national codes.
An electrical diagram is provided inside the bottom cover of the control box, and
at the end of this manual.
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes with the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI 223.1,Natural Gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, as applicable. The appliance and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of

during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psi.
The incoming gas supply pressure must not exceed 1/2 psi (14 inches
WC, 34.5 mbar). If the incoming gas pressure exceeds 1/2 psi, an
external gas regulator must be installed in the supply line. If the supply
pressure is less than 1/2 psi, no external regulator is required.
The installer should bleed any air out of the gas line supplying the oven.
All gas connections and fittings on the oven should be leak checked
with an approved soap solution.
15. Checking the burner manifold pressure.The burner manifold pressure has
been set at the factory, however it should be checked by the installer.The
pressure should be checked at the outlet tap on the Honeywell gas valve,
located on the back of the control box. Once the manometer is connected,
turn the oven on and use the knob on the oven to adjust the flame to its
maximum height.Then check the manifold pressure.

Phoenix Installation and Operation Manual
Wood Stone ovens should be vented
in accordance with NFPA 96 and/or all
pertinent national and local codes
concerning such appliances; check
ventingplanswiththeauthorityhaving
jurisdiction before proceeding with
installation.
All of the combustion products and cooking vapors from the WS-BL-4343-RFG
and WS-BH-4343-RFG pass through the 10 inch (25.4 cm) diameter flue collar,
8 inches (20.32 cm) for the WS-BL-3030-RFG and WS-BH-3030-RFG), located
atop the exhaust transition. The oven can be connected to a power ventilated
chimney, or placed under a hood.All gas fired models that include a (-W) at the
end of the model number are listed to allow the burning of up to 3 lbs of wood
per hour for flavor, but MUST be vented as SOLID-FUEL equipment.
Flue Collar
VENTING
The following are the manufacturer’s recommendations 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 ducting 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 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 degrees F, 450 degrees 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 single wall chimney/duct connector (of
unspecified length) may be used to connect the oven to a listed building heating appliance
chimney also rated as a grease duct. Any single wall ducting should be a minimum of 0.044"
stainless steel or 16 ga. mild steel (0.055") and must maintain a minimum of 18" clearance
to combustibles.
A static pressure of -0.1 inches water column is necessary at the oven flue collar to ensure
proper flue temperatures at the fan.The airflow required to attain this static pressure will
depend on the configuration of your particular installation but will probably be between 300
and 500 CFM.The exhaust fan must be turned on any time the oven is running. See
instructions for optional interlocking of the oven to the fan at the end of this manual.
2.Wood Stone offers eyebrow-type hoods designed specifically for Wood Stone ovens by
Gaylord Industries.

Phoenix Installation and Operation Manual
INITIAL OVEN STARTUP
Never operate this oven with the stainless steel night door in place!! The
door is for heat retention only, and should only be used when the oven is
turned off!!
FIRST DAY
1. Make sure main gas supply is on (valve parallel with gas line).
2. Push I/O button on controller. It may take a while for the gas to purge all the air
from the gas lines.
3. Once the burner ignites, make sure the flame is at its lowest setting and allow the oven to
operate at this setting for about 4 hours.
4. After 4 hours, raise radiant flame to 25% (~ 5-inch flame), hold this setting for 4 hours.
5. After 4 hours at 25% flame, raise to 50% flame and hold for another 4 hours.
The oven can be left at this setting all night.
SECOND DAY
1. Turn the oven on and adjust the flame to about 50% flame height; hold this setting for 2
hours.
2. Turn the radiant flame(s) to 75% height until the desired cooking temperature is achieved.
OPERATION
Night Door
The night door should be
removed whenever the
oven is turned ON.

Phoenix Installation and Operation Manual
General Daily Oven Operation
The oven floor temperature is displayed on the controller readout.
END OFTHE DAY
Push I/O button, all gas will go off, even the pilot. When the oven is turned off, use the night
door to help retain heat in the oven.The night door is placed into the oven doorway.
BEGINNING OFTHE DAY
Make sure the night door is removed.Push I/O button and turn the radiant flame to its highest
setting. Oven should reach the desired cooking temperature within two hours. Use the flame
height knob to control the amount of heat in the oven.
CLEANING THE OVEN
1. As needed (twice per hour), use the floor brush to sweep stray food debris to the doorway,
where it can be easily removed with a dough cutter or spatula.
2. As needed, swab the deck using a damp (not wet) rag wrapped around the floor brush.
NEVER PLACE ANYTHING IN OR ABOVETHE RADIANT FLAME
Gas fired models with a '-W' in the model number are listed for the burning of up to 3 lbs of
wood per hour when properly vented as a Solid-Fuel appliance. Build the fire on the side of
theoven,6-10 inches(15-25cm) awayfromthe doorway of the ovenor useasmokertray. Never
use the gas (radiant) flame as a fire starter, and keep the fire away from the radiant flame.
Keep all ash and debris away from the radiant flame. See next page for ash disposal
guidelines.
BURNERTRAY
At 6 - 12 month intervals, depending on the amount of usage, the burner tray beneath the oven
should be removed and emptied of any accumulated debris.To remove:unscrew the wing nut
at the back of the burner tray.See diagram on page 14.There should be very little debris in the
tray if the oven is being operated properly.
