Call with questions regarding maintenance frequency.See the FUELWOOD FACTS section at the end of this manual for moreinformation on burning wood.WS-TS-W models are approved to allow the burning of wood in the cooking chamber in addition to the gas burners. Whenburning wood, the fire should be placed to one side of the oven chamber, as close to the door opening as is possible (this is oftendescribed as the 8 o’clock or 4 o’clock position). If flames spill out of the doorway, or the oven temperature exceeds 850 °F,you are over firing the oven.Wood should be stored and handled in accordance with therecommendations outlined in NFPA 96.The interior floor and dome of the oven do not require creosote or sootremoval.
