How to Safely Move Your Oven

Whether you're relocating homes, rearranging your bakery, or simply shifting the oven to a new spot, here’s what you need to know to safely move your oven.

Step 1: Remove the Stones Before Transport

Before doing anything else, remove the baking stones from inside the oven. This is an essential first step for two key reasons:

  • Weight Reduction: The oven weighs approximately 400 lbs with the stones and around 300 lbs without them. Since the stones weigh nearly 100 lbs, removing them makes the move significantly easier.

  • Stone Safety: The stones are fragile and can crack or break during transport if left inside. Transport them separately and securely, ideally wrapped in blankets or foam and laid flat.

Step 2: Positioning the Oven for Transport

Once the stones are removed, you can transport the oven in one of two orientations:

Option A: Upright Position

  • You can transport the oven standing up.

  • However, it is not recommended to rest it on the legs alone.

  • Instead, place wooden blocks under the oven frame to lift the legs slightly off the floor of the transport vehicle.

    • This prevents sideways forces or impacts from bending or breaking the legs during movement.

Option B: Laid on Its Left Side

  • The left side of the oven (the side with the lights) is the only completely flat side.

  • If you're laying the oven down, lay it only on this side.

General Transport Tips

  • Secure the oven with straps or braces inside the moving truck to prevent tipping or sliding.

  • If you’re unsure, consider hiring professionals or reaching out to us for additional guidance.
