Installation
Masonry Chimney & Fireplace
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the oven may also be
connected to a masonry chimney, provided the chimney complies with the
construction rules found in the building code enforced locally. To ensure
that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) it should be inspected by a professional to
make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration
and blockage. Also have the chimney cleaned before the oven is installed
and operated.
