Quick answer
Installing the Arc XL Mantel takes under a minute and requires no tools. You simply slide it onto the oven's front lip—no drilling or hardware needed.
Why use a mantel?
The Arc XL Mantel extends your oven's work surface, giving you a safe spot to rotate pans, check doneness, or rest food while keeping the door open. It's especially helpful when juggling multiple dishes like Neapolitan pizza and roasted vegetables.
Installation steps
- Prepare the oven: Ensure the oven is cool and turned off. Clear the front area of any debris or accessories. Never install on a hot oven—you risk burns or warping the mantel.
- Align the mantel with the oven lip: Hold the Arc XL Mantel so its rear channel faces the oven's front edge. Slide it onto the lip until it clicks into place. Check that the mantel sits flush against the oven body; gaps can cause instability.
- Test stability: Gently press down on the mantel to confirm it's locked. Give a slight side-to-side wiggle to ensure no movement. If it wobbles, remove and re-seat it—the mantel should feel solid before use.
- Use it safely: Place pans or dishes on the mantel only when they are heat-safe. Avoid exceeding the weight of a standard pizza peel or roasting pan. The mantel is an extension, not a shelf for heavy pots. Keep loads moderate to prevent tipping.
