Parts List

1. Diavolo Pizza Oven
2. Pizza Baking Stone
3. Gas Pipe
4. Gas Regulator
5. Match Stick Holder

Wind:
High winds can affect the performance of the appliance. It is recommended not to operate the oven in high winds. Wind direction plays a crucial role in maintaining the flame. Avoid cooking in head-on winds directed towards the front of the oven. Side or back winds will not affect the oven’s performance.

High winds are classified as follows:

• 6.4 – 19.3 kph wind is Force 2-3 and the appliance can be used safely.
• 20.9 – 28.9 kph wind is Force 4, and the appliance can be used with caution.
• 28.9 kph and greater is over Force 4. It is not recommended to use the appliance in these conditions.

Flame Discoloration when using Gas
Under normal conditions, the flame should burn yellow/orange in color on LPG (Propane or Butane). This color is usually seen on the upper part of the flames that will cook your pizza/food to perfection. If the burner exhibits a complete blue flame, it is not burning correctly. Avoid cooking in this situation and consult your local certified gas dealer. By reducing the air into the appliance, a more even flame lick across the roof can be generated, still blue in color but with yellow tips. This will heat up the appliance more evenly and allow the pizza/food to cook evenly as well. It is important to find a balance between the best cooking experience and watching for soot build-up, as the LPG burner can produce soot.

WIND

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE IN HIGH WINDS
Wind directly affects the burn of the flame, this in turn will result in irregular air pressure and could cause the flame to blow out of the front of the appliance. Watch for the wind direction. Avoid cooking in head-on winds directed towards the front of the oven. Side or back winds, will not affect the oven performance.

WHAT IS CLASSED AS HIGH WINDS?
6.4 – 19.3 kph wind is Force 2-3 and the appliance can be used safely.
20.9 – 28.9 kph wind is Force 4, and the appliance can be used cautiously. 28.9kph and greater is over Force 4. It is not recommended the appliance is used in these conditions.

FLAME DISCOLOURATION WHEN USING GAS

• The flame should under normal conditions burn yellow / orange in color on LPG (Propane or Butane), this color is normally on the upper part of the flames that will cook your Pizza / Food to a perfect standard.
• If the burner is exhibiting a completely Blue flame, it is not burning correctly, and avoid cooking, in this situation consult your local certified gas dealer by reducing the air into the appliance, a more of a flame lick across the roof is generated, still blue in color but with yellow tips. This will heat up the appliance much more evenly, and allow the Pizza / Food to cook evenly also.
• It is a balance between the best cooking experience and watching for soot build-up. The LPG Burner can produce this.

FIRE

• Fire is generally caused by a few issues and causes can be easily prevented. Build-up of grease and fat, improper gas connection, and High winds are all considerations, and cleaning, and maintenance of the appliance should always be a consideration for regular attention.
• If a fire does occur, turn off the gas at the bottle and or the on / off valve as required. Use a fire extinguisher on any flame or heat source that continues to burn, the extinguisher you select should depend on your application and situation.
• If the residual grease and fat deposits are alight, avoid direct water jet to this area as it could disperse the fire to other areas, however using a water supply to dampen down the immediate area around the fire could be a consideration.

CARBON MONOXIDE
A highly poisonous Gas, Carbon Monoxide is produced when not enough ventilation is provided. This may be due to carbon build up or food deposits on the burner.
We advise that all gas-burning appliances are used in well-ventilated areas and cleaned regularly and the mouth of the oven should never be fully covered. Carbon Monoxide detectors are readily available. It is hard to tell when this gas is being emitted as it is odorless and colorless. However, symptoms you may feel are:

• Tension on the forehead
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Feeling Sick / Vomiting
• Coma and Intermittent convulsions
• Depressed heart action
• Severe exposure and not following the warning signs can lead to death.

• Before cooking for the first time, operate the pizza oven for about 15 minutes and the gas is turned on LOW. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate.

AFTER COOKING IS FINISHED

• To turn the gas pizza oven off , it is best to turn off the cylinder first and allow all the gas remaining in the hose to burn off, this will only take a couple of seconds. Then turn off the burner.
• It is recommended that protective gloves (eg oven gloves) be used when handling particularly hot components.

CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION : All cleaning and maintenance should be carried out when the pizza oven is cool and with the fuel supply turned OFF at the gas cylinder and the cylinder disconnected.

• Store the pizza oven out of direct sunlight and indoors where possible and when storing for extended periods of time. The pizza oven should not be exposed to harsh weather conditions such as snow, heavy rain and strong winds.
• Wait for the pizza oven to cool completely before moving or cleaning.

PIZZA BAKING STONE

1. DO NOT use the stone over an open flame.

2. Avoid extreme temperature changes to the stone.
   DO NOT place frozen foods on a hot stone.

3. The stone is fragile and can break if bumped or dropped.

4. The stone is very hot during use and stays hot for a long time after use. Extra care is needed before removal.

5. DO NOT cool the stone with water when the stone is hot.
   Allow to cool naturally in the oven before removal.

MAINTENANCE

1. Keeping appliance cooking area clear, clean, and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids;

3. Keeping the ventilation valves/opening (s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris;
4. Cleaning the appliance body with a damp clean cloth ONLY when the oven is cold. Dry thoroughly.
5. Checking and cleaning burner tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance, visual inspects after storage are recommended

Your pizza oven will look better and last longer if you keep it clean.

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS

• If you smell gas:( In the event of gas leakage found). Turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder valve.
• Ensure the control valve is “OFF”.
• Connect the regulator to the cylinder and ON/OFF valve to the burner, ensure the connections are secure then turn ON the gas.
• Brush the soapy water onto the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a leak, which must be rectified before use. Retest after fixing the fault.
• Turn off the gas supply at the gas container after use.
• If leakage is detected again and cannot be rectified, do not attempt to cure leakage but consult your certified gas dealer.

OTHER CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS

• Apart from cleaning, your gas pizza oven is a fairly low-maintenance item. A couple of things are worth looking at. Remember to turn off and disconnect the gas before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out.

1.  If your gas pizza oven uses a flexible hose to connect to the gas, check the rubber
   O- ring on the regulator end of the hose assembly at least once a year. If it appears worn or cracked, have it replaced by a local certified gas agent.

2. If you use a portable LPG gas cylinder, you will need to have the cylinder serviced or replaced every ten years. The date of the last service should be stamped on the neck of the bottle.

3. A rain cover is also recommended to cover your gas pizza oven and maintain and protect from all weather conditions and it is advisable to store it in the bag if being un used for long periods of time.

HERE ARE OUR TOP TIPS FOR A CRISPY BASE:

• Reduce the hydration of your dough. What does that mean? Add less water when you’re making your recipe.
• Increase the stone temperature by increasing your preheat time. Simply give the stone a bit more time to heat up.
• Invest in an Infrared Thermometer. The higher the temperature, the crispier it will be! Aim for at least 752˚F (400˚C) for a thin-based pizza.
• Use semolina or similar on the base to give your pizza more crunch!
• Once the stone is at high temperature, set the flame to minimum output. It will allow the pizza to cook from the stone upwards. This will give you a crisper base without burning the top. This is my personal favourite!
• I hope you are able to give these tips a shot! I know it can take some practice to get pizzas to have that nice crispy base we shoot for.
