sealing the bottom of the oven (outside)

[lippolippi]

Hello, my Napolino oven sits on a granite slab and there is a little space in between the surface and the oven. When it rains water can get under the oven (obviously I dont know how far it goes in, maybe very little). I am considering sealing the oven all around to close the gap between the oven and the surface under. Is there any reason why this would be a bad idea?

Granite slabs do not like heat and can crack because of it. Contact the manufacturer of your oven for their advice about this and the prevention of under floor water entry as well as its exit.
