ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN COOKING IN YOUR OVEN AND USING YOUR BRACCIO DEL FORNO.
THIS ACCESSORY CAN BECOME VERY HOT.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS COOKING ARM IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH FORNO VENETZIA TORINO AND BELLAGIO MODELS ONLY AND IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
AVOID GREASY AND OVERLY FATTY FOODS AS THESE CAN IGNITE AND CAUSE GREASE FIRES.
DO NOT REMOVE OR DETACH THE BRACCIO DEL FORNO FROM THE OVEN WHILE THE OVEN AND ARM ARE HOT. WAIT UNTIL THE FIRE HAS EXTINGUISHED AND BOTH THE OVEN AND ARM ARE COOL.
Ensure the oven and the Braccio del Forno are !at and level to avoid the Arm moving by itself. If the oven and/or the Arm are not level the Arm maybe prone to drifting.
Never leave the Arm and oven unattended during use.
When cooking dishes that may contain or involve grease or oils, use caution to avoid any spillage that could be ignited by the “re.

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Remove any protective laser “lm and all packaging materials before use.
Thoroughly clean the grill and baking sheet/drip tray before your “rst use and after every use.
Take care to avoid the wooden handle getting wet as this can loosen the grip of the wooden handle on the Stainless steel Arm.
Always store your Braccio del Forno (Arm) indoors when not in use. Leaving your Arm outdoors for extended periods of time or during inclement weather will void the warranty.
To clean the grill and baking sheet of your Braccio del Forno, a grill or BBQ brush can be used as well as a slightly abrasive detergent or pad with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water and dry well.
To clean the Arm support beams use a clean cloth and warm soapy water with a mild detergent and dry well.
Avoid water getting into the connections of each section of the Arm.
To clean the wooden handle, wipe using a damp cloth.
Some parts of your Braccio del Forno may experience some discoloration from the high temperatures.
This is considered normal and does not a#ect the performance of the Arm.
USING YOUR FORNO VENETZIA BRACCIO del FORNO (ARM)
With the removable grill, and baking sheet, your Braccio del Forno can be used for broiling, grilling or for baking depending on how the “re and embers are arranged.
For the best results, always ensure your oven is preheated with a well established “re burning and a good bed of embers.
Grilling
Typically grilling is achieved with the heat source being directly below the food being grilled. To achieve this, once your oven has been preheated and there is a well established “re with a good bed of embers, move the embers evenly across the oven !oor, similar to how charcoal would be arranged in a charcoal BBQ.
There should be no live !ames, just the glowing embers of your hardwood “re. Grilling can be done with the baking sheet acting as a drip tray to catch all the juices and fat drippings. Particularly if you want to use these drippings to add to a gravy later or for basting. Alternatively, the baking sheet/drip tray can be removed and have the food on the grill directly over the embers and coals of your “re. Ensure there is a su$cient bed of embers for the drippings to fall on to. This not only improves the !avor and performance, but helps minimize the amount of drippings that will come in contact with the bricks and help keep the !oor of your oven clean.
Broiling
Broiling is achieved when the heat source is above the food and tends to use higher temperatures. To achieve this, once your oven has been preheated and there is a well established “re with a good bed of embers, keep the “re on the left side of the oven. Additionally there should be live !ames partially curling up and over part of the inner dome. This generates convection cooking and directs the heat !ow up the left side of the oven, over the top of the inner dome and down toward the food on the Arm. Broiling can be done with the baking sheet separately or together with the grill, depending on the dish. For meets or other dishes that may require the grill, continue to use the baking sheet as a drip tray to catch any juices and drippings. As the “re and embers are primarily on the left side of the oven there is nothing covering the bricks. This will help keep the bricks and the hearth of your oven clean and ready for the next course without having to burn away any remnants on the bricks in between dishes.
Broil/Grill Convection
A combination of grilling and broiling can be achieved by maintaining a “re with a live !ame on the left side of the oven while at the same time, spreading enough embers across the oven !oor. This provides a heat source both below the food as well as coming down from the top of the oven. Additionally this also generates convection cooking so that your dish is surrounded by heat which is constantly being circulated around the oven.
Baking
Baking is achieved once the oven has been preheated and the “re has had a chance to die down with little or no !ame. Baking is typically done at lower temperatures and is done with the residual heat that is stored in the oven and the brick hearth along with the heat from the embers. Depending on what is being baked, small additional pieces of hardwood can be added from time to time to maintain a supply of embers.
Large !ames should be avoided.
Remove the grill and just use the baking sheet. Ideal for Bruschetta and Hors d’oeuvres.
Managing the Temperature
The size and type of “re will have the largest e#ect on the temperature, just as with cooking any other dish in your Forno Venetzia.
However additional temperature control can be achieved by where the grill and baking sheet are positioned in the oven. How close to the “re and toward the back of the oven will tend to be hotter areas. Similarly the front of the oven will tend to be cooler. Your Braccio del Forno makes positioning easy without having to put on heavy oven gloves and reaching into a hot oven. This allows you to maneuver your food around both the inside of the oven as well as bring it out to check and turn as required. Monitor your food
regularly to observe how fast it is cooking and where. Lower temperatures will be found closer to the opening of the oven while hotter temperatures may be on either side of the oven, as well as at the back of the oven, depending on the size of the “re and live !ame.
