INSTALLATION We carry everything needed for an Alfa oven installation including ceramic fiber and Refrax mortar (right).
STEP 1
STEP 2
STEP 3
STEP 4
Create two supports in masonry about 75 cm high to get a fire floor about 110 cm high. Place a concrete load-bearing slab about 15 cm thick.
Create a floor about 15 cm high with panels made of light cellular concrete or concrete lightened with expanded clay or vermiculite.
Place the sill of the exhaust fume and then the arch.
After wetting the floor, spread a thin layer of Refrax with a toothed spatula to lay down the pieces composing the floor.
STEP 5
STEP 6
STEP 7
STEP 8
Wet the interstices between the fire floor pieces and fill them with Refrax, taking care to keep the filling slightly lower than the floor, to avoid impacts from the oven peel. The space between the floor and the walls of the dome should be left undisturbed and should not be plastered.
After mounting the dome make sure the pieces are fully settled.
After wetting the joints between the dome pieces, spread 5 cm of Refrax on the outside. If you want greater thermal inertia, it is recommended to cast a layer of Refrax all over the dome of a thickness of up to 6 cm. In larger ovens, a thin wire mesh must be added to Refrax.
After the layer of Refrax, thermally insulate the oven by placing multiple layers of ceramic fibre on the dome. We recommend an initial 2/4 cm layer of ceramic fiber followed by a 10/15 cm layer of vermiculite, expanded clay or rock wool for high temperatures.
STEP 9
STEP 10
If you want to maintain the spherical shape of the open-view oven, you can make a 3/4 cm casting of sand and cement to place above the outer insulation, on which a layer of metal mesh has been positioned previously.
If the oven is installed outside, it must be protected from rain and moisture. N.B: the oven in the design has been installed with the dome in sight (A) but the finishing touches vary according to the customers liking (mosaic, brick, etc). It is recommended to always use fireproof materials, also in the case (B) of built-in installation
