Learn ideal locations, safety distances, ventilation requirements, and outdoor vs. indoor installation rules. ### **1. Installation Environment: Indoor or Outdoor?** ✅ **Outdoor 🌳** - **All wood-fired and gas ovens** are designed for **outdoor use** on **stable, non-flammable surfaces**. - **Avoid excessively windy areas** or **enclosed spaces** that could affect combustion. ✅ **Indoor 🏠** - **Only models certified for indoor use** can be installed in enclosed spaces. - The **Urbe Electric Oven** is **suitable for indoor use** without requiring a chimney. - In **North America**, some **UL-certified Alfa ovens** can be installed indoors, following **ventilation and safety regulations**. ✅ **Urbe 🌆 (Outdoor Use)** - The **Urbe oven** can also be used outdoors, but it must be **protected from the elements** and stored **indoors when not in use**. - **Do not leave Urbe exposed to extreme weather**, as moisture and environmental factors can affect its performance. 📌 **Always check local regulations** before proceeding with **indoor installation**. --- ### **2. Safety Distances to Follow** For **proper ventilation and safety**, maintain these **minimum clearance distances**: 📏 **Distance from walls or other appliances:** At least **20 cm** 📏 **Around the chimney:** At least **50 cm** 📏 **Above the oven (ventilation space):** At least **1 meter** ⚠️ **If installing under a pergola or a covered area**, the **chimney must extend beyond the structure** to ensure proper airflow.   --- ### **3. Protection Against Wind & Weather** 🌬️ **Avoid highly windy areas**, as strong currents can **affect the flame** and **temperature consistency**. ⛈️ **Use a weatherproof cover** to protect your oven from **rain, snow, or humidity**, especially in **exposed locations**.   --- ### **4. Recommended Surface for Placement** ✅ **Heat-resistant materials** (**cement, stainless steel, refractory stone**). ✅ **Strong enough to support the oven's weight** (check the **technical specs** for your model). ❌ **Avoid wooden or flammable surfaces**.   --- ### **5. Placement Ideas Based on Available Space** 🔹 **Compact Ovens (1 Pizza) →** Perfect for **balconies, small terraces, or patios**. Ideal for **outdoor use in limited spaces**. 🔹 **Larger Ovens (2-5 Pizzas) →** Great for **outdoor cooking areas**, creating a **social gathering space** for pizza nights. 🔹 **Outdoor Kitchen Ovens →** Can be **integrated** into a **dedicated outdoor kitchen**, serving as the centerpiece of your **backyard cooking area**.   --- ### **6. Versatile Placement Solutions** 🔹 **Wheeled Bases →** Make the oven **movable**, allowing you to **easily reposition or store it** when not in use. 🔹 **Cooking Stations →** A **fully equipped outdoor cooking station**, with **worktops, utensil storage, and all necessary accessories**. 📌 **Explore support solutions for your oven:** 🔗 **[Alfa Cooking Station](https://www.alfaforni.com/en/cooking-station/)**   --- ### **Need Personalized Advice?** 📍 **Contact Alfa’s team for expert placement recommendations:** 🔗 **[Get in Touch](https://www.alfaforni.com/en/contact-us/)** 📍 **Find a certified dealer near you for professional guidance:** 🔗 **[Alfa Dealer Locator](https://www.alfaforni.com/en/alfa-point/)** - [Before the purchase](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/before-the-purchase?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Choice of the oven](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/before-the-purchase?hsLang=en#choice-of-the-oven) - [Installation and compatibility](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/before-the-purchase?hsLang=en#installation-and-compatibility) - [Power supply and fuels](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/before-the-purchase?hsLang=en#power-supply-and-fuels) - [Accessories and features](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/before-the-purchase?hsLang=en#accessories-and-features) - [Warranty and registration](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/before-the-purchase?hsLang=en#warranty-and-registration) - [Installation and first start-up](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/installation-and-first-start-up?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Assembly and configuration](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/installation-and-first-start-up?hsLang=en#assembly-and-configuration) - [First start-up and testing](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/installation-and-first-start-up?hsLang=en#first-start-up-and-testing) - [Use and cooking](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/use-and-cooking?hsLang=en#main-content) - [What can I cook in the oven?](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/use-and-cooking?hsLang=en#what-can-i-cook-in-the-oven) - [Urbe oven](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/urbe-oven?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Installation and compatibility](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/urbe-oven?hsLang=en#installation-and-compatibility) - [Functionality and use](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/urbe-oven?hsLang=en#functionality-and-use) - [Pizza experience & events](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/pizza-experience-events?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Preparation of the dough](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/pizza-experience-events?hsLang=en#preparation-of-the-dough) - [Perfect cooking](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/pizza-experience-events?hsLang=en#perfect-cooking) - [Maintenance and cleaning](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/maintenance-and-cleaning?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How do I clean my oven?](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/maintenance-and-cleaning?hsLang=en#how-do-i-clean-my-oven) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Temperature and combustion](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#temperature-and-combustion) - [Structure and components](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#structure-and-components) [![Alfa Forni](https://help.alfaforni.com/hs-fs/hubfs/02-logo-alfaforni-R.pdf.png?width=44&height=24&name=02-logo-alfaforni-R.pdf.png "Alfa Forni")](https://help.alfaforni.com/en/?hsLang=en) Upgrade your oven.
