tepro 3317UK Burnsville Gas Pizza Oven - Step 4

Connecting the Gas Bottle

This pizza oven is suited only for low-pressure butane/propane gas and must be equipped with a suitable low-pressure regula- tor and a flexible hose. The gas hose must be connected with suitable hose clamps. This pizza oven is intended to operate a 50 mBar regulator with butane/propane gas. Use a suitable regulator that is certified according to BSEN 12864:2001. In- quire about suitable regulators for gas bottles at your LPG gas supplier. For the operation of this pizza oven, you require a com- mercially available 5 kg bottle of propane/butane gas.

Please note: The gas bottle and gas hose have a left-hand thread!

Regulator and Hose

These accessory parts are supplied with the gas pizza oven. Replacements are available at your pizza oven distributor or an authorised LPG gas supplier. Use only regulators and hoses that are certified for LP gas with the pressure values mentioned. The lifespan of the regulator is approximately 2 years. It is rec- ommended that the regulator be exchanged within 2 years from the production date.

The use of an incorrect or defective regulator and gas hose is dangerous. Before each use of the gas pizza oven, check that the correct parts are being used.

The gas hose used must conform to the regulations and pro- visions of the country in which the pizza oven is being used. The length of the gas hose must not exceed 1.5 metres. Worn or damaged hoses must be exchanged immediately. The hose must be connected without twists or bends. Ensure that the gas hose is not bent or constricted and that it does not come into contact with the gas pizza oven, with the exception of the hose connection.

Storing the pizza oven

The gas pizza oven must only be stored indoors, once the gas bottle has been removed. If the pizza oven is not being used for an extended period of time, it should be covered with a protective hood and stored in a dry and dust-free environment

The Gas Bottle

A gas bottle is not supplied with this pizza oven. The gas bottle must be provided by the end user. Do not drop your gas bottle or
handle it roughly or inappropriately.
When the pizza oven is not being used, the gas bottle must be separated from the pizza oven. Fit the gas bottle with its protective cap once it has been disconnected from the pizza oven. The
gas bottle must be stored separate from the pizza oven.
The storage of gas bottles is not permitted in underground spaces, in stair wells, passageways and thoroughfares of buildings, or in their immediate vicinity. The valves must be fitted with valve protection caps and lock nuts. Gas bottles – including empty ones – must be stored upright.
Gas bottles must be stored outdoors in an upright position and out of reach of children. The gas bottle must not be stored in areas in which the temperature exceeds 50ºC. Do not store the gas bottle nears flames or other flammable sources. Do not smoke in the vicinity of gas bottles!

Connection to the pizza oven

Place the gas bottle next to the pizza oven on the floor.
Before the gas bottle is connected to the pizza oven, you must ensure that there is no dirt in the heads of the gas bottle, the regulator, or the burner. Spiders and insects can get in there and thus block the burner or the venturi tube at the opening.
A blocked burner can cause a fire underneath the pizza oven.
Clean blocked burner openings using a sturdy pipe cleaner.

Warning! Attach one hand of the gas hose to the thread of the pressure regulator and tighten by hand; then, using a 17-mm jaw spanner, tighten it firmly.

Attention left-hand thread! Do not use any additional seal!

Attach the other end of the gas hose to the thread of the valve connection on the pizza oven, tightening by hand. Then tighten it firmly with the help of a 17-mm jaw spanner.

Attention left-hand thread! Do not use any additional seal!
Connect the pressure regulator to the gas bottle valve, tightening it by hand.

Follow the instructions included with the regulator.

Warning!

Prior to use test all connections for gas leaks.
Always perform the test using soapy water. Never use an open flame to detect leaks.

Checking for Gas Leaks

Mix one part dishwashing liquid with 3 parts water. For testing, approx. 50 ml of soapy water is needed.
Ensure that all temperature regulators are set to ♦ (off).
Connect the regulator with the gas bottle and turn on the burner using the left temperature regulator. Ensure that the connections are securely made.
Turn on the gas intake.
Apply the soapy water to the hose and to all connections. If bubbles appear, a leak is present.
Fix the leak and then start the test again.
Switch off the gas once the test has been concluded.
If a leak is found and it cannot be repaired, do not attempt to repair the leak further. In this case, contact a professional.
Do not use the pizza oven until the leak has been properly repaired.

Setting up the pizza oven

Attention

Risk of damage!

During use, the screws can loosen slowly.

– Check that all screws are tightened before use. If necessary, tighten all screws to guarantee stability.
– Place the pizza oven outdoors on a level, heat-resistant, solid surface.
– When using the pizza oven, the floor and wall surfaces can occasionally be contaminated, e.g. from splashes of fat. Make sure that the subsurface is adequately protected against such contamination.

Before baking

Wash off any coarse production residues with warm water, avoiding the use of detergents or detergents.

Pre-firing

Before baking for the first time, heat up the pizza oven for min. 15 minutes without food. The heat cleans the internal parts and burns away the finishing residues of coloured parts. In the process, odours and some smoke may develop.
However, this is harmless and only lasts a short time. Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Pre-heating

It is recommended to preheat the pizza oven for about 10-15 minutes before each use.

Pizza stone

DO NOT use the stone over an open flame.
Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations in the stone.
DO NOT put frozen food on a hot stone.
The stone is fragile and can break if hit or dropped.
The stone is very hot during use and will stay hot for a long time after use.
DO NOT cool a hot stone with water.

Operation

Danger

Risk of burning!

The pizza oven, contained pellets and baking items get very hot during use so that contact with them can cause serious burns.

– Keep away from hot parts as any contact can cause severe burns.
– Always wear oven or BBQ gloves when baking. (Glove Category II with regard to heat protection, e.g. DIN-EN 407. Glove must match the PSA regulation.)
– Use long-handled utensils with heat-resistant handles only.
– Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves.

Danger

Risk of explosion!

Read through the following instructions for turning on/firing up the pizza oven and all warning and safety information first, before actually firing up the pizza oven.

– Check the pizza oven for cracks, cuts or other damage, before using it.
– Do not use the pizza oven any more if the gas hose is damaged or porous.

Ignition system

Push in the temperature control and turn it to the left.
Insert a burning, commercially available fireplace match (extra long) from below through the large hole in the bottom of the burner housing near the burner. If you use a normal match to light the device, be sure to use the match holder supplied.
Consult your dealer to solve the ignition problem on the device.

Switch off the pizza oven

To switch off the pizza oven, turn the regulator on the gas bottle to the Off position. Then turn the temperature control on the device to OFF.

Cleaning and maintenance

Your pizza oven is made of high-quality materials.
Clean the pizza oven after each use. To clean and care for the surfaces, please note the following:

Danger

Risk of burning!

Let the pizza oven cool down completely before cleaning.

Danger

Health hazard!

Do not use any paint solvents or thinners to remove stains. Such liquids are hazardous to health and may not come into contact with food.

Attention

Risk of damage!

Do not use any strong or abrasive solvents or scouring pads as such products attack the pizza oven‘s surfaces and leave permanent markings.

Set the regulator on the gas hose to the Off position before you start cleaning.
Do not immerse the pizza stone in water! Only clean the cooled pizza stone by carefully removing leftovers with a commercially available kitchen scraper.
Remove loose deposits on the pizza oven with a wet sponge.
Caution! Never use commercially available oven cleaners!
Food residues can be removed with a brush, spatula or cleaning sponge. Then wash off with warm soapy water. Rinse with clear water and dry.
In general, clean the interior and surfaces with warm soapy water.
Use a soft, clean cloth to dry it. Do not scratch the surfaces while rubbing dry.
If the gas pizza oven is not in use, it should be covered with a protective hood.

Cleaning the burner

Turn the regulator on the gas bottle to the Off position. Then set the temperature regulator on the pizza oven to ♦ (off) and disconnect the gas hose from the gas bottle.
Clean the burner with a soft brush or with pressurised air.
Then wipe it down with a cloth.
Clean blocked openings with a sturdy pipe cleaner, a wire or with the opened end of a paperclip.

Cleaning the Ignition Head

If it becomes difficult to ignite the flame, this may be due to the fact that the tip of the ignition head is dirty. In this case it needs to be cleaned. The ignition head tip is located next to the burner opening.
To ensure perfect functioning, food residues between the ignition head tip and the burner must be removed. Use fine sandpaper in order to clean the ignition head tip and the burner edge.
The ignition head tip should be approx. 4 – 6 mm away from the burner edge. This is the ideal distance for reliable ignition.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You may have acquired a protective hood for your pizza oven. In order to protect your investment, it is recommended that a protective hood is always used when the pizza oven is not in operation. However, please ensure that the protective hood is only put on once the pizza oven has cooled down and is clean and dry. The use of a protective hood may be required. Caution! A protective hood that is placed on a warm, wet, or unclean pizza oven can lead to heavy corrosion.
For this reason, the pizza oven should always have cooled down and be cleaned of surface dirt and thoroughly dried before the protective hood is placed on it. This is particularly important when the pizza oven is not going to be used for an extended period of time and, for example, stored over winter.
