Facade Tutorials - Bistro/ Phoenix index_logo.gif (1706 bytes)

Bistro/Phoenix Ovens - Doing It Yourself
printer friendly version

Important Installation Note: Wood Stone uses Hardi Backer cement board if you order your oven “facade ready”. Please be advised, that  a layer of Thin Set or an approved adhesive for high heat  needs to be applied to the backer board before the facade material, i.e.; tile, bricks, stone, etc.

Wood Stone Bistro Facade TutorialThese illustrations refer to an installation of a Bistro 4343.  The Bistro 4343 is available in a variety of finishes, Stainless Steel (standard), Factory Prepared for Field Facade Application (Facadable), or Color Powder-Coated.

Note: Click on the individual graphics for close up views.  Please be patient, some graphics have large file sizes (50-100K).


Step 1.  The Base Oven

Figure 1 represents a standard Bistro 4343 ovenThe 4343 arrives with S/S front, sides and top, and a black painted stand.  Many customers choose to install the oven with this finish as a "stand-alone" unit.

For more details on the installation of this oven, please view our Installation Manual.

Step 2. Cement Board

Customers seeking a "facaded" look, such as tile or brick, should incorporate a non-combustible underlayment.  This can be accomplished one of two ways:
 

Option 1: Do-It-Yourself. 

As referenced in Figure 2, order the Bistro 4343 with Standard Finish and apply 
 Wonderboard, Hardibacker,
DUROCK, or equivalently listed non-combustible cement board yourself. 
Word to the wise
This can be a time consuming adventure since cutting cement board and screwing it to the S/S underneath can be difficult. Care must be taken to avoid covering any of the critical access or service points. To avoid these concerns, please consider option II (see below). 

 

 

Option II: Order it  "Facadable"

As referenced in Figure 3, order the Bistro 4343 Factory Prepared for Field Facade Application, or "Facadable".  With this option we apply all the non-combustible board so that when it arrives you and your contractor can focus just on applying your finished surface. The area prepared for facading can be on just the front, or on the sides and or rear as well upon specification.

Step 3. The Finished Product

Wood Stone Finished ProductThe facadable Bistro 4343 can be finished with any decorative material that can be easily affixed to the wall surface such as tile, stucco, sheet metal, veneer brick etc.

Note:  It is necessary for the proper operation of our ovens that the Radiant Flame Control Knob be fully accessible after all finishing is completed.  Additionally, the Front Service Panel must be removable to obtain service access and the perforated section of the service panel should be free of obstructions to ensure proper flow of combustion air for the burner.
