Door Problem

[DanPoz]

Hi all,

Installed my casa 2g80 and their is about a 1/2 inch gap on each side at the top. Been in contact with Forno Bravo for weeks and now they claim it is the correct door but that I didn't use enough sand under the tiles. Well it is too late to add sand without destroying and replacing the tiles. I also followed installation instructions exactly and there is no way I was 1/2 inch off on the amount.

Any ideas to seal the door and if another casa 80 owner could give me the measurements of their door so I can check it?

Unfortunately I don't trust FB on this because they initially sent me a oven without a chiminey, then claimed they shipped me a new door and it had been delivered, except the package they cited was the brick arch I ordered. Now it's the right door?

any help on sealing the door if it is the right one would be appreciated.

Re: Door Problem

That doesn't help me at all. I used my notched trowel of the size and depth specified in the installation instructions and leveled the fire brick. My door opening is 10 1/8 inches high. It is listed on your website as 10 x 17. My gap is about 1/2 inch.

How about somebody from FB give me the proper dimensions of the door. I will compare so if it is the right door, I can try to find another solution. That should be the first step if somebody thinks they have the wrong door.

If I have the right door, the installation instructions need to be improved in that regard.

Re: Door Problem

That door does not seem to be wide enough for the opening either. It appears to be the wrong shape.

Re: Door Problem

If FB cant resolve the problem....

if you have a hand-grinder, you could get a piece of angle iron from the hardware (1.5-2") and attach to bottom of door using screws. (see pic I attached) This will raise your door off the bottom. Then you can use the grinder to re-shape the top arch to fit your oven.

Good Luck!

Re: Door Problem

Good suggestion Jeepiper, and I agree Deejayoh, it does appear to be the wrong shape and it isn't quite wide enough. If it is the right door, it isn't fitted as well as I would expect from standardized production.

Re: Door Problem

Dan - I'm going to jump in here on the side of FB. If there is a problem they obviously want to correct it. If your door was that far out of whack, you could probably send them a paper template and they will cut one to fit. I would not modify the one they sent.

I was sent a door that slipped through quality control. Too small all around. Thanks for the help. Feel better now that I know I didn't mess up the install. Next post should be burnt sourdough!!!!
