About NutriChef
A mission born out of need
NutriChef was created on the principle that healthy home cooking should be
attainable to all, regardless of skill level and economic status. Starting in
2014, we noticed the disconnect in our lives and in the lives of those around
us. We were so busy, always rushing forward, and our health and personal lives
suffered. We needed to find some way to slow down and put our health first,
all without sacrificing convenience or taste. Could we somehow create
healthier versions of our favorite foods, easily in our own kitchens? The
answer was a resounding yes, and NutriChef was born.
We create products that make life a little easier and a little healthier
Our brand was created out of a desire to provide an alternative to fast food
convenience and reintroduce people to home cooking. A healthy home-cooked meal
is what brings families and friends together. We believe strongly in the value
of simple pleasures. An evening spent cooking and sharing a meal of wholesome,
nourishing foods is a memory in the making.
We believe a moment shared is priceless
Today, we have built upon our original mission and now in addition offer
products that make the art of entertaining a simpler one. Entertaining and
hosting family and friends are one of the great joys of life. Why waste a
moment stuck in the kitchen? We offer products that free you up to socialize,
while never sacrificing quality or taste.

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID INJURY
When properly cared for, your oven will provide safe, reliable service for
many years. However, extreme care must be taken, as the oven produces intense
heat that can increase the risk of accidents.
When using this oven, follow basic practices, including but not limited to the
following:
- Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.
- Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the oven is being used. Do not allow children to sit, stand, or play around the oven at any time.
- Never let clothing or other flammables come in contact with or too close to any burner or hot surface until it has cooled. The fabric could ignite, causing serious personal injury.
- For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using the oven. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
- Do not heat unopened food containers, as a build-up of pressure may cause the containers to burst. When lighting the burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing.
- When using the oven, do not touch the outer shell, stone baking board, or immediate surroundings, as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
- Do not use the oven to cook extremely fatty meats or other products that may increase flare-ups.
- Keep the area surrounding the oven free from combustible materials, including fluids, trash, and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid.
- Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

LEAK TESTING
GENERAL: Although the gas connections of the appliance are leak-tested
prior to packing and shipment, a complete test must be performed at the
installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using
the procedure listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at any time,
immediately stop using the system and check for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING: Make sure all packing material has been removed from the
appliance. Create a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water.
You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the
fittings.
TO TEST:
- Turn the burner valve OFF.
- Turn the liquid propane cylinder valve counterclockwise to open it.
- Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings; soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
- If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply OFF and tighten leaky fittings.
- Turn the gas back ON and recheck.
- If the gas continues to leak from any fittings, turn the gas supply OFF and contact customer service.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The burner is rated at 14,330 BTU/Hr.
To begin:
- Ensure the oven has been leak-tested and properly placed.

and an even bake. When cooking a pizza, the front handle facilitates easy
rotation.
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.
Store the pizza oven out of direct sunlight and indoors whenever possible,
especially when storing for extended periods. 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.
Clean the Pizza Plate
The pizza plate is removable. You can loosen the fixing nut anticlockwise and
remove the plate to clean it. Please ensure to fix the plate securely before
the next use.
Pizza Baking Stone
- DO NOT use the stone over an open flame.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes for the stone. DO NOT place frozen foods on a hot stone.
- The stone is fragile and can break if bumped or dropped.
- The stone is very hot during use and remains hot for a long time after use.
- DO NOT cool the stone with water when it is hot.
- After cleaning the stone with water, please dry it before use.
This can be done in a conventional oven at 140°F (60°C) for 2 hours.
Maintenance
- Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
- Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
- Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
- Clean the appliance, including special surfaces, with recommended cleaning agents, if necessary.
- Check and clean burner tubes for insects and insect nests.
A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
Your pizza oven will look better and last longer if you keep it clean.
