Benefits of pizza cooked in a wood fired oven:
When cooking your own pizzas, there is no better way than to recreate
authentic pizzas the way the italians make them. To cook and authentic crispy
based, wood fired pizza, you need to use a good wood fired oven such as the
Igneus Classico. The Igneus Classico is very easy to light and reaches a very
high temperature very quickly (usually within around 15 minutes)
A high temperature is the first essential element for cocking a great pizza.
The heat generated by the Igneus enables you to cook the pizza quickly whilst
achieving that elusive crispy pizza base. Once lit, the brick floor of the
oven becomes a radiator for the heat, enabling the pizza to cook from
underneath as well as from above This stone baking process means that a pizza
will cook extremely quickly (usually in around 60-80 seconds) which means you
can cater for a lot of people very quickly and at a fraction of the cost of a
BBQ.
The second element you’ll need for cooking the perfect pizza is fire. Because
The Igneus is a wood fired oven, the fire and smoke are drawn through the oven
and across the pizza as it cooks, adding an incredible flavour to your pizza,
which a gas fired oven simply cannot achieve.
Cleaning your Igneus Classico pizza oven:
Over time, (as is the case with any wood fired oven), the top of the opening
and the door on your Igneus oven can become black as the soot from the fire
builds up. This is very easy o reduce by simply cleaning the oven opening with
soap and water and a soft sponge.
The external skin of your oven can also be cleaned using soap and water and a
soft sponge when needed. A soft cloth with baby oil also helps improve the
aesthetic look of your oven. The floor of the oven should be cleared of ashes
and embers when fully cold. Once you have removed the embers, please clean the
bricks by sing a brush to dust them down and remove any emoers residue.
Doing this will keep the bricks of your oven in the best condition and will
ensure that your oven will be ready for use when you come to use it next time.
DO NOT WET THE BRICKS AS THEY WILL ABSORB MOISTURE CAUSING THEM TO CRACK.

Biind Firing Instructions:
Your oven will need to be blind-fired twice before cooking in order to season
the firebricks and prevent the bricks from cracking . The first blind-fire
should roughly last 10 minutes before spreading the fire/ embers across the
fire bricks, then letting the oven cool down naturally. The second blind fire
should be as per the first blind fire, but should last for slightly longer –
20-30 minutes
Begin in the front half of the
oven with a kindling tower and an organic firelighter (see fig. 2)
Once you have formed the kindling tower you can then ignite the fire (see fig,
3)
Once lit, feed the fire
with only kindling, adding around 6 pieces per minute for around 10 minutes.
As you feed the fire, lean the kindling wood to each side and the back onto
the fire, so that the fire spreads (see Fig. 4).
Your oven should reach 500°C+ in around 12 minutes. Let the fire stay at this
heat for a further 4 minutes. You can then move the fire to the back of the
oven (see Fig. 5/6). Use a rake or brush to move the fire safely. Then add two
hardwood logs (Kiln Dried Silver Birch is best)
Once your oven is up to 500c, you can push the fire guard inside
the oven with your rake or brush. Which will sit in between the fire and your
food (see Fig. 7/8). Note: the oven can be used without the fireguard.

Safety Information
Always use natural untreated firewood (never use pressure treated wood such as
old fence posts), we always advise that you try to use kiln dried silver
birch, for burning and NEVER use any types of accelerants such as petrol,
paraffin, or similar liquids in the oven as these are extremely dangerous and
can lead to explosions within your oven
DO NOT use Charcoal, chipped wood products or sappy wood such as pine within
your oven.
BEWARE of flying sparks from the mouth of oven. Ensure that no combustible
materials are within range of your oven at any time.
Your Igneus pizza oven will reach very high temperatures so always use long
heat resistant oven gloves and mitts to handle pots and tools. Never put your
hand or arm into the oven when lit unless you are wearing adequate heat
resistant gloves.
DO NOT close the oven door fully while a fire with flames is in the oven.
Closing the door fully will cut off xygen to the fire, causing the fire to
erupt suddenly when the door is removed.
BEWARE when disposing of ashes from the oven before they have fully cooled
down (natural cooling can take up to 24 hours). If you need to remove the
ashes from the oven in order to speed up the cooling process, please ensure
that you follow these instructions:
- Put on some protective gauntlet gloves to protect your hands and arms
- get a square edged metal tray (a roasting tin works well)., and hold it against the front mouth of the oven.
- Using your other hand and the embers rake, pull the embers (o the front of the oven and scrape them into the metal tray, so that they have been removed from the oven
- Once all the embers have been removed, place the tray with the embers in it onto the floor (not on a combustible surface) and pour cold water onto the embers so that all the heat is doused out. Your oven is now able cool down quicker as the heat source has been removed.
DO NOT pack any air spaces in the oven with insulation or other materials – these are essential air spaces that are integral to the design and safety of the oven
Safety Warning!
Your oven will be extremely hot while in operation – Keep children and pets at
a safe distance and do not allow them to touch it.
DO NOT burn rubbish or flammable fluids in your oven.
Please ensure that you have read all instructions fully before installing and
using the oven as Fallure to follow these instructions will invalidate your
warranty.
