Step A Remove the wood box

Step B Assemble the gas burner’s hanging hook N to the gas burner body M with 3pcs M5 screws L.
Attach the gas mould onto the back of the body with the 2 remaining screws at the back of the body.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Dampen a sponge with lukewarm water. Wring it out thoroughly and wipe the pizza stone clean once to remove production residue.
Clean the inside of the oven with water and a mild detergent to remove any production residue.
The oven must be burned-in before making your first pizza. Note that the fuel should be glowing for at least 30 minutes.

USING THE PIZZA OVEN

Always we fireproof gloves when firing the pizza oven.

WOOD FIRING

1. Remove the firebox and fill it with fitting logs. Put a grill lighter in the middle (Warning! Don’t use liquid starters like spirit or petrol), cover it with a few sticks or thin firing wood and ignite it.
2. Push the firebox into the pizza oven and wait until the wood burns evenly.
3. Place 1-2 logs over the filling shaft and wait until the wood has burnt through, and is covered with a layer of ash and no more smoke escapes from the chimney.
4. When the oven thermometer shows around 400 °C, open the door and push the pizza to the center of the stone. Close the door.
5. Rotate the pizza by 180° once after 45 seconds.
6. You can observe the baking process of your pizza through the damper. Do not open the door during the baking process – otherwise valuable heat is lost.
7. After 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pizza dough, your pizza is ready.
8. Put the coal, briquettes or pellets with the grill lighter into the firebox. As soon as it starts to burn,push the box into the pizza oven.
9. Pile up more coal, b s or pellets via the chute.
10. Wait until the coal or briquettes are completely burnt through, covered with a layer of ash and no more smoke escapes from the chimney.
11. When the oven thermometer shows around 400 °C, open the door and push the pizza to the center of t stone. Close the door.
12. Rotate the pizza by 180° once after 45 seconds.
13. You can observe th g process of your pizza through the damper.
14. After 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pizza dough, your pizza is ready.

The process will work even faster when ou burn the coal or briquettes in a separate igniting place and fill the pure ember into the firebox.

TIP:
You can also light your combustible with a blowtorch. In order to do that, fill your firebox with wood, coal, briquettes or pellets. Put the box into the back of the oven and hold the blowtorch from the outside in the box.

REFILLING OF COMBUSTIBLES

Always use fireproof gloves when filling and emptying the firebox.

Thanks to its double stainless steel cover with wool filling, the inside of the pizza oven will stay hot constantly for a very long time. If you notice the temperature is dropping, pile up a new charge of combustibles (wood, coal, briquettes or pellets) into the firebox via the filling chute. Until you start baking the next pizza, you must wait until the combustibles have burnt through and no more smoke is rising from the chimney.

SWITCHING OFF THE PIZZA OVEN

1.  Close the door and let the oven burn out after use. This process can take up to 4 hours.
2. For quicker storing of the oven put on fireproof gloves, remove the firebox and put the contents into a bucket filled with water. Open the door of the pizza oven and allow the oven to cool completely for about 30 minutes.

CLEANING THE OVEN

1. Allow the oven to cool down completely.
2. Empty the firebox after every use and sweep out the ashes completely with a brush.
3. Both the interior and exterior can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent.
4. If the pizza oven is used regularly, the chimney should be removed and washed out every four weeks to rinse off the soot layer.

CLEANING THE PIZZA STONE

1. Remove the pizza stone from the pizza oven and carefully scrape off the resin from the stone with a hob scraper or a sharp knife.
2. The pizza stone is a utility and over time, it will get stains from burnt-in ingredients. This is com-pletely normal and will not interfere with the functioning of the stone.
   If you want to wash the stone with water, do not use detergent. After washing it with water, let the stone dry in an oven for at least 3 hours at 80°C. You can also leave it to air-dry in a warm spot for 24 hours.

STORING THE PIZZA OVEN

1. The pizza oven comes with 4 foldable stainless steel feet. The oven can be stored and transported easily with the feet folded in. If you don’t use the oven for a long time and if you want to save space, you can also remove the chimney.
2. To prevent rusting and weathering, the pizza oven should always be stored in a dry environment after it has completely cooled down. Cover the oven with a weather-resistant tarpaulin or store it in cellar or garden house.

The fire blows out frequently.

|

Make sure that you don’t add too many combustibles at once via the shaft.

This may smother the fire.

The oven won’t get hot.

|

1. Strong wind can impair the heating performance. Place the pizza oven in a wind-protected location.

2. The fire is not burning properly.

3. The thermometer is broken. Replace it.

The pizza turns black on one side

|

Rotate your pizza by 180° after 45 seconds. The side, which is near the firebox,will receive more radiant heat than the one facing the door. To ensure even baking, rotate the pizza.

USING THE GAS BURNER

LIGHTING 1 AA battery is required. (Not included)

• Open the battery cap (2) and put in the battery. Screw the battery cap on clockwise.
  Check all gas connections for gas leaks before starting your oven.

• Do not lean over the oven when lighting. Keep your face and body at least 50 cm/19.6 inches far from the oven door.

• When lighting the oven, the oven door must be open.
  The burner control knob must be in the off position before turning on the LGP cylinder valve.

To ignite the pilot light, press and rotate the knob together with the Pizzello ignition button that discharges a spark to ignite the pilot light. Lighting the pilot light for the first time can be difficult as it takes time for the air in the connection tube to be expelled and gas to flow out.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Gas regulator
This is a clockwise threaded gas fitting.
Ensure the tank is fully turned off and screw the regulator on to the gas tank valve fitting until tight.

PRECAUTIONS

Should you need to change the gas cylinder, ensure that the cylinder valve is closed, the appliance is switched off and there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flames, sparks, etc) nearby before proceeding.
Inspect the gas hose to ensure it is free of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks that could obstruct the free flow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot Gas Pizza Oven parts.

Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use. If the hose is damaged,it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with LPG and which meets the national standards for the country of use. The length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m.

CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER TO THE APPLIANCE
This appliance is only suitable for use with LPG. This appliance is fitted with a 3.4kPa low- pressure regulator.

BEFORE USE PLEASE CHECK FOR LEAKS

1. Never check for leaks with an open flame; always use a soapy water solution.
2. The hose should never be twisted and knotted and should not exceed 1.5m.

In order to connect:

1. Ensure the control knob is in the “OFF” position before connecting it to a gas supply.
2. Connect the oven inlet, located in the lower left quarter of the back plate, to the gas regulator outlet.
3. Ensure the hose is correctly placed and is not being stretched, tied or bent.
4. Ensure the hose is not close to any heat sources, especially that of the Gas Pizza Oven back.
5. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder and tighten by hand until tight.

In order to disassemble the regulator and connecting hose:

1. After use turn the gas cylinder valve ‘OFF’ and wait for the flame to extinguish.
2. Turn the Gas Pizza Oven off.
3. Remove the connecting regulator from the gas cylinder.
   • Turn off the gas supply at the bottle.
   • Extinguish all open flames.
   • DO NOT operate any electrical appliances.
   • Check for leaks (see LEAK TEST)
   • lf the odor persists, contact your dealer or local gas supplier immediately.

In order to ensure the safety of the use of the gas burner, each gas burner in the factory production process goes through an ignition test (each gas furnace ignition test is 5-10s).
As the material of the stove pipe will turn slightly yellow after burning, please don’t worry if you find this problem, it is a normal phenomenon after the test.

GAS LEAK TEST

DO NOT attempt to use the Gas Pizza Oven if a leak is present.
NEVER test for leaks with an open flame.
A leak test must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free from any flames or other sources of ignition.

1. With the cylinder connected to the Gas Pizza Oven. Open the cylinder valve.
2. Brush the connections (Gas Pizza Oven to cylinder) with a solution of equal parts soap and water (must be foamy).
3. A stream of bubbles forming indicates a gas leak. If bubbles appear, turn the cylinder valve OFF (clockwise) and disconnect the Gas Pizza Oven from the gas cylinder.
4. Tighten the connection and retry the leak test. If you are unsure or if you can tighten the connection, place the cylinder outside in a cool, well-ventilated area and contact your dealer or local gas supplier immediately.

Checking the Burner flame for indication of a gas leak:
Ignite the burner and rotate the knob from HIGH to LOW.
You should see a smaller flame in LOW than in HIGH.
Always check the flame prior to each use.
A good flame should be blue with minimal yellow tipping.
Some yellow tips on flames are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

Top Reasons Why Pizza Stones Crack

1. PUTTING A COLD PIZZA STONE INTO A HOT OVEN
2. ALLOWING MOISTURE TO SEEP INTO THE PIZZA STONE
3. PLACING COOL OR COLD FOOD ONTO THE PIZZA STONE
4. HANDLING THE STONE TOO MUCH
5. REMOVING THE STONE TOO SOON FROM A HOT OVEN
6. USING TOO MUCH HEAT

How To Prevent Your Pizza Stone From Cracking In The Future

• Carefully maintain your stone when in or out of the oven. To keep it looking nice, cover with aluminum foil when cooking.
• Always place the stone into the oven when the oven is still cool and pre-heat it before using it.
• Avoid unnecessary handling. Moving the stone in and out of the stove too often can cause cracking.
• Don’t clean with liquid or put oil on the stone. The moisture can cause iAt to split.
• Wait until the stone has cooled down entirely before removing it from the oven.
• Don’t place frozen pizzas on your pizza stone.
• Use a folded up towel to insulate the pizza stone from the counter when you take it out to avoid giving the stone a sudden “thermal shock”
