MEASURES TO BE TAKEN WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

WARNING: Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning! Only operate the pizza oven outdoors and not in enclosed spaces!

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, feebleness, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide impairs the blood’s capacity to transfer oxygen. Low blood oxygen content might result in unconsciousness or even death.

Immediately visit a doctor if you or another person develop symptoms of a cold or flu during operation of the pizza oven!
Alcohol and drug consumption reinforce the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is particularly dangerous for: pregnant women and their unborn child, small children, the elderly, smokers, and people with cardiovascular diseases such as anaemia and heart disease.

FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Bring surrounding people to safety.
If a grease fire erupts, close the door until the fire extinguishes. NEVER leave the door open during a grease fire.
WARNING: Never attempt to extinguish an oil or grease fire with water.
Stay away from the source of fire and immediately inform the firefighting department.

FIRST-AID MEASURES
Measures to take after serious burns or scalding

There is an acute risk of hypothermia and shock. Immediately call the rescue services!
Immediately extinguish burning clothes with water or suffocate the flames with a heavy blanket.
In case of burns: Leave clothing on the body.
In case of scalding: Immediately remove clothing from the body.
Cool the affected areas with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain subsides.
Afterwards, cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline burn sheet. Place the side coated with Metalline onto the damaged skin and affix lightly with a gauze bandage or a triangular bandage.
Do not use any “home remedies” such as ointments, powders, oils, disinfectants, etc.!

Measures to take after light burns or scalding

In case of burns: Only remove clothing from the body if it doesn’t stick.
In case of scalding: Immediately remove clothing from the body.
Cool the affected areas with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain subsides.Allow minor burns or scalding without any blister formation to heal in fresh air, do not cover with a band-aid or bandage.

Screw the feeder to the rear of the oven casing.
Screw the rain shelter with 3 screws onto the chimney. Attach the chimney to the opening on top using a twisting motion. Put the pizza stone into the oven.
The pizza oven is now ready for use. Have fun with NERO.

WARNING: The pizza oven radiates heat. Never place it next to glass windows, walls, plants, etc. The minimum distance to any kind of object is: Back/ sides/ top: 100 cm

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove the pizza stone. Remove any manufacturing residue with a dry cloth or clean brush.
Wipe the inside of the oven – without the pizza stone – using water and a mild detergent to remove any manufacturing residue.
Replace the dry pizza stone.
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 NERO

Always wear fireproof gloves while firing the pizza oven.
Always ensure that the pizza stone is completely dry.

WOOD
- 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 woods and ignite it.
- Push the firebox into the pizza oven and wait until the wood burns evenly.
- 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. Repeat until the correct temperature has been reached.
- COAL, BRIQUETTES OR PELLETS
- 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.
- Pile up more coal, briquettes or pellets via the chute.
- Wait until the coal or briquettes are completely burnt through, covered with a layer of ash and no more smoke escapes from the chimney.
When the oven thermometer shows around 400 °C, open the door and push the pizza to the center of the stone. Close the door.
ATTENTION: The temperature reading on the thermometer may differ from the inside temperature in the oven due to the outdoor temperature, wind and weather conditions!
Rotate the pizza by 180° once after 45 seconds. Repeat until the pizza is evenly browned on all sides.
During cooking, only open the door when turning the pizza to avoid heat loss.
Depending on the thickness of the pizza dough and oven temperature, your pizza will be ready in 1-5 minutes.

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

TIP: You can also light your combustible with a blowpipe. 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 blowpipe 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 a wool filling, the inside of the pizza oven will be kept 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 or no more smoke is rising from the chimney.

SWITCHING OFF THE PIZZA OVEN NERO

Close the door and let the oven burn out after use. This pprocess can take up to 4 hours.
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 AND CARE

CLEANING THE OVEN

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

CLEANING THE PIZZA STONE

Remove the pizza stone from the oven and carefully scrape off any burned residue with a hob scraper, hard brush or metal scraper.
The pizza stone is an object of utility and over the time, it will get stains from burnt-in ingredients. This is completely usual and will not interfere with the functioning of the stone.
If you need to dampen the stone to clean it, use water only without detergent and leave the stone to dry in the oven at 80 °C for at least 3 hours. You can also leave it to air-dry in a warm spot for 24 hours.

STORING PIZZA OVEN NERO

The pizza oven comes with 4 foldable stainless steel feet. The oven can be stored and transported more easily with the feet folded in. If you don’t use the oven for a longer time and if you want to save space, you can also remove the chimney.
To prevent rust and weather-related damage, always store the pizza oven in a dry location once it has completely cooled down. Cover the oven with water-resistant tarpaulin or a suitable transport cover for NERO and store it in a basement or garden shed
The pizza stone does not tolerate strong temperature fluctuations or moisture. It is therefore best to store it in a dry place after use, for example in your basement or in your home. You can also wrap it in a soft towel for protection.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Please read the following steps if the device does not work properly:

Problem	Solution
The fire blows out frequently.	Make sure that you don’t add to many

combustibles at once via the shaft.

This may smother the fire.

The oven won’t get hot.| Strong wind can impair the heating performance. Place the pizza oven in a wind-protected location.

The fire is not burning properly.

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 evenly baking, turn the pizza.
