5. PERFORM LEAK TEST
   Although the gas connections of the appliance are leak tested prior to shipment, a leak test must be carried out in any of these situations:
   • before using the oven for the first time
   • each time the Liquid Propane Cylinder (LPG) cylinder is refilled
   • each time the gas hose and gas regulator has been disconnected from the LPG cylinders or the oven

BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing material has been removed from the new oven.
Connect hose and regulator to cylinder and oven as per instructions.
Make a solution of one part liquid soap and one part water.
You will need a spray bottle, cloth or brush to apply the solution to all joints between gas cylinder and the oven.

PERFORM LEAK TEST
Turn the burner valve OFF.
Turn the LPG valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings, soap bubbles would appear where a leak is present.
If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply OFF and tighten the leaky fittings.
Turn the gas back ON and recheck.
Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply OFF and contact the gas supplier.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTION

The burner is rated at 4.1KW. The burner outlet should be checked for any obstruction before use. Make sure the you have followed all of the instruction on previous pages before lighting the oven.

TO LIGHT THE BURNER

| |
---|---|---
Make sure the oven control knob is in the OFF position.
Then turn the liquid propane cylinder valve
ON by slowly turning counterclockwise.| Push in and slowly turn the oven control knob anticlockwise until you hear a click and the burner ignites.| The burner has three basic position. Rotate the knob between low and high to achieve desired flame height.

If burner doesn’t light, turn the knob OFF, wait 5 seconds and repeat the lighting procedure.

TO LIGHT WITH A MATCH

If the burner will not light after several attempts using the control knob, the burner may be lit with a match.
If you have already attempted to light the burner using the control knob, wait 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate.
Insert a match into the matchstick holder, ignite the match and insert through the oven opening to the burner.
Push and turn the control knob to HI slowly, the burner should ignite immediately.
If the burner does not light within seconds, turn the control knob OFF and wait 2-3 minutes and try again.

COOKING TIPS & TRICKS

PREHEAT YOUR OVEN
Turn on your oven on full power and pre heat for a minimum of 15 minutes.

USE INFRARED THERMOMETER
Using an infrared thermometer, the rear of the stone should measure in the range of 420°C – 450°C for the perfect pizza.

USE SEMOLINA
Dust your peel with semolina flour before placing your stretched dough on top.
Semolina is a must over all-purpose flour for dusting. This coarsely ground wheat doesn’t char as easily as allpurpose flour, so you can make two pizzas in succession without brushing off the stone.
Nearly any amount of semolina will allow pizza to release easily without leaving too gritty a residue.

HAVE YOUR TOPPINGS READY
Have your toppings prepared and ready to put on your pizza – as leaving dough on the peel for too long can cause it to stick.

TURN THE OVEN OFF JUST BEFORE LAUNCHING PIZZA
Turn the oven off immediately before launching your pizza. As a beginner this will give you a little more time for the base of the dough to stiffen (for easier turning) whilst preventing burning of the back edge of your pizza.

WAIT THEN TURN
When you see the back edge of the pizza rise and start to brown (around 30-45 seconds after aunch), use your turning peel to turn the pizza 90°.

WATCH CONSTANTLY, TURN REGULARLY
Turn the oven back on and set to low.
Now just keep an eye on the rear edge of the pizza and turn every 15-20 seconds until the whole crust has browned.

REMOVE, CUT, EAT & TURN UP THE HEAT
Remove pizza & turn heat back up to maintain stone temperature ready for the next pizza.

AFTER USING

Leave the oven on for about 10 minutes after you have finished cooking. This helps to burn away any excess food residues and oil and makes cleaning easier.

1. Turn off the cylinder first and allow all the gas remains in the hose to burn off. Then turn off the burner.
2. Be sure to turn off all control knobs and the gas supply.
3. Allow the oven to cool completely.
4. Clean the cooking surfaces. Clean any food spills from the burner.
5. The liquid propane gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the appliance is not in use.

WAIT FOR YOUR OVEN TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE MOVING
The stone is very hot during use and remains hot for a long time after use.
Use our special pizza oven brush to get rid of dirt, but do not cool the stone with water when the stone is hot.
After cleaning the stone with water, please dry the stone before use. This can be done in a conventional oven at 60°c (140°f) for 2 hours.
Do not store the oven indoors unless the gas cylinder is disconnected.
