FORNI P134H One pizza oven

INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing an Effeuno oven
Our products comply with the most stringent quality control standards for each component, as per the European directives listed on the last page of this manual and the IEC standards for electrical/electronic equipment.

This is an electric pizza oven, designed and built with food-grade refractory stone cooking surfaces that take advantage of the stone’s ability to transfer heat evenly, while absorbing the humidity of the dough during the cooking process, thus enabling pizzas to be cooked at home with great results. Fresh pizza can be cooked in a short time, frozen pizzas can be cooked with significantly reduced cooking times in comparison with the time indicated on the package. Effeuno shall not be liable for any modification/replacement/use of non-original components which may cause malfunctions or permanent damage to the oven, also affecting its safety. Request any necessary spare parts exclusively from the manufacturer or authorized dealers.

If you notice any anomaly in the operation of the oven, contact exclusively Effeuno’s technical service department ([email protected]). Use the oven exclusively for its intended purpose. Any other use is considered improper and dangerous. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage caused by improper, erroneous, or unreasonable use of the oven. The oven is intended for professional use only.

BEFORE USING THE OVEN

Remove the packaging and check the integrity of the appliance. Please keep the original packaging while testing the oven and for a short while thereafter. In this way, in the event of a malfunction, you will be able to easily pack the oven to ship it for repair. Always observe the distances indicated in the image on the right.

Before connecting the oven, make sure that the power supply cord is intact and that the information on the nameplate corresponds with the available electrical grid. An unsuitable voltage may damage the oven. If the power supply socket is close to the oven, the cords of other appliances must be at a suitable distance from the hot parts of the oven.

The oven components heat up during use and remain hot for a limited period of time even after the oven is switched off. Do not touch. The use of adapters, multiple sockets, and extension cords is not recommended. If adapters or extension cords are necessary, only use components compliant with current safety standards and do not exceed the current carrying capacity marked on the adapter/extension cord in question. If you notice any anomaly in the operation of the oven, contact exclusively Effeuno’s technical service department .

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

The following models:
P134H 500/509/509E, P134H 450/459, P134HA 500/509/509E, P134HA 450/459, P134A 399/399E, P234H 450, P150H or P150HA have a single-phase connection. Check that the plug is not damaged or defective. In case of doubt, do not connect the oven to the power supply socket and contact Effeuno’s technical service department.

If you have purchased the following model: Model P250H can have two types of connection. For the single-phase version, follow the instructions above; for the three-phase version, the connection to the power mains and the commissioning of the oven must be carried out by a specialized technician/installer, according to the regulations in force in the country of installation.

The figure on the right shows the three-phase 380V connection with neutral for the P250H model only. Install a power supply socket within the range of the oven cord. Do not use extension cords and install a box suited to contain the installation material.
The terminal strip is on the rear side of the oven.

CAUTION:
The only model that can be converted to a three-phase oven is the P250H, none of the other models can be modified from single-phase to three-phase operation. The oven must be connected to the mains by means of a three-pole power cable with a neutral of adequate length, with a yellow/green earthing line, at the end of which it is necessary to install a CEE socket in compliance with the IEC 309-2 standard “Plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes” and suitable for the power supply voltage and the rated current absorbed by the appliance, indicated in the wiring diagram and in the “Technical characteristics” section (see the technical data plate).

The professional installer must install the following components keeping to the regulations in force in the country where the appliance is used:

• power cord with suitable plug and socket;
• main switch/disconnector;
• circuit breaker and a residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) with suitable sensitivity for the leakage current of the heating elements.

The components must be installed at the user’s expense near the oven installation site. The appliance must be earthed by means of a proper earthing system.
An accurate visual and instrumental inspection of the conditions and characteristics of the earthing system must be conducted in order to upgrade it if necessary.
The connection must be carried out according to the standard technical procedures, observing both the cyclical connection sequence of the phases and the colour coding of all conductors:

• L1 – phase R – Black/gray/brown.
• L2 – phase S – Black/gray/brown.
• L3 – phase T – Black/gray/brown.
• N – neutral – Blue. Position of terminal strip 4-5 connected with a bridge.
• Earth= protective conductor – Striped yellow/green.
• Models P134H, P134HA, P234H, P150H and P1 50HA use oil-resistant H05RN-F cables with 3×1 .5 mm2 section and equipped with 220/230V Schuko plugs.

After installing the protection devices for the oven power supply, it is necessary to test the efficiency of the residual-current circuit breaker using an appropriate instrument. Check that there are no inflammable materials or objects of any kind inside the oven. Once the necessary checks have been carried out, the oven can be switched on for preliminary testing. No protective panel needs to be removed. Turn the thermostat knob to the middle of the graduated scale. Check the current absorption and proper operation of all the indicator lights on the oven. Wait for the thermostat to interrupt the circuit and switch the oven off. Following this test, it is possible to use the oven.

Once the equipment has been connected and the oven tested, the installer must issue the compulsory declaration stating that the preliminary operations and tests have been tfJ successfully carried out. The appliance must be connected to an equipotential bonding system, the effectiveness of which must be verified according to the regulations in force. This electrical bonding must be implemented between all the different appliances using the special terminal, marked with the symbol in the figure above and located on the back of the oven. The equipment must be connected to the earthing line of the electrical network, the equipotential conductor must have a minimum section of 2.5 mm2•

FIRST START-UP

Before proceeding with the first start-up, remove the protective film from every part of the oven and remove the polystyrene/cardboard which is blocking the refractory stone from the chamber; make sure that there are no residues inside the oven and under the stone.

Clean the inside of the oven and remove any dust with a damp cloth, then dry the surfaces thoroughly. Do not use any cleaning product. Once the oven is clean, the laser film that protects the oven can be completely removed. After the previous operations, it is possible to proceed with the start-up. During the first turning, the oven may emit odors and smoke. Ventilate the room well.

CAUTION:
DURING THIS PROCEDURE, KEEP THE DOOR OPEN AND AERATE THE ROOM

Start-up test:
The oven must be gradually heated to the maximum temperature. Leave the refractory stone inside (photo 1 ). Turn on the oven at about 150°C. The upper heating element is almost double the size of the lower one and as a result, there may be differences in the time it takes to reach the expected temperature. Once it reaches 150°C, wait for about ten minutes and then proceed with the next step. Raise the temperature to 250°C and repeat the same procedure until reaching 450/500°C.

Second test:
remove the refractory stone (once it has cooled down) and insert the biscotto claystone if supplied (photo 2). Repeat the same procedure carried out for the start-up test. Once the tests have been successfully completed, the oven is fully operational.

OVEN OPERATION

Once the plug has been connected to the electrical socket, turn on the oven by pressing the button (1) on the lower part of the control panel, then set the thermostats to the desired temperature using the lower (2) and upper (3) knobs. Before cooking a pizza, preheat the oven for about 20 minutes with the door closed to allow it to reach the cooking temperature. The recommended temperature is 320°C. If using frozen ready-made pizzas, leave them at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before cooking, as specified above. To transport the pizzas from the worktop to the refractory stone we recommend using a special pizza peel with a little flour on it (be careful not to overdo it as it could catch fire at very high temperatures). Once the pizza is in the oven, remove the peel.

CAUTION:
Once the oven has been used, do not turn off the knobs (2) and (3) of the thermostats to zero degrees. It is recommended to turn off the oven by pressing the power button (1) or directly removing the power. The refractory stone and the biscotti claystone were specifically designed by Effeuno to enable the heat to be uniformly absorbed and distributed, and to absorb the humidity of the dough so that the pizza can be cooked in 3-4 minutes. For this reason, it is important that the toppings (oil, tomato, mozzarella, etc.) do not run off the pizza that is about to be cooked and are not spread on the refractory stone/biscotti claystone as the latter would absorb the liquid part of the ingredients. The pizza oven can also be used for cooking other foods; in this case, special food-grade containers able to withstand high temperatures must be used (we recommend iron/steel containers and we do not recommend aluminum which is not suitable for high temperatures). Do not sprinkle too much flour on the refractory stone/biscotti claystone as it could cause smoke and fire.

The “H” ovens of the “Easy Pizza” line are equipped with separate controls for the individual heating elements and can reach 399/450/459/500/ 509°C, depending on the version. The separate regulation of each heating element ensures greater cooking efficiency.

CAUTION:
Small technical-structural modifications may be made to the product. depending on the availability of some components.

SAFETY

The EASY PIZZA line (except for P234H and P250H) is equipped with a manual reset safety thermostat, located in the rear part of the oven, which switches the oven off in the event of overheating. If the safety thermostat trips, disconnect the power supply and reset the thermostat by pressing the button on the thermostat itself. If the safety thermostat trips again, do not try to repair it by yourself. Contact the nearest Effeuno service center.

Once the safety thermostat has tripped, to restart the oven, disconnect the power supply cord, unscrew the red cap and reset the thermostat by pressing the button on the thermostat itself.

The EASY PIZZA ovens are equipped with an internal fan which is automatically activated about 20 minutes after the oven has been turned on at the maximum temperature. A flow of hot air is therefore discharged to the right of the oven in order to keep its external surface at an acceptable temperature (photo 1 ). To prevent overheating, the fan continues to run even after the oven has been switched off, until the temperature drops to appropriate levels. To cool the oven more quickly, open the oven door.

MODELS Pl34H AND P234H

The Easy Pizza ovens are designed for cooking pizza and food in confined spaces. Depending on the model, they are equipped with graduated thermostats (459/509°C) for the independent control of the heating elements. Models P134H, P134HA, P150H, and P150HA have a single cooking surface. The P234H and P250H ovens have two cooking surfaces. All ovens have an ON/OFF switch. For proper cooking, it is recommended to avoid using the maximum available temperature continuously so as to prevent food from burning on the outside or being not cooked on the inside.

CLEANING THE OVEN

Cooking times may be longer if the inside of the oven is dirty. Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and bad odors during cooking. To clean the external surface, use a damp sponge or cloth. Do not use abrasive products that could damage the steel surface. Pay careful attention during cleaning to prevent water or liquid detergents from getting inside the oven. Do not use corrosive products (like spray detergents) to clean the inside of the oven and do not scratch the walls with pointed or sharp tools. Never clean the heating elements.

Before any cleaning operation. remove the plug from the socket. Do not immerse the oven in water or wash it under a jet of water in order not to compromise its electrical safety.

How to clean the refractory stone/biscotto claystone? Given the “porous” nature of stones, it is normal for dark spots to appear after a few uses; they are nothing more than pizza toppings that have run onto the stone and have been blackened by the high cooking temperatures. The stone is not “old” or “unusable”.

What not to do:

• Immerse the stone in water. Immersing the stone in water, even for an extended time, does not result in any benefit. On the contrary, it is likely that the stone will break.
• Use oils for cleaning. The stones are like “sponges” and at the first use some smoke would be produced.
• Use detergents to clean the stone. For the same reason described above, the stone would absorb the detergent and release it during cooking, irreversibly compromising the quality of the pizza.
• Use abrasive tools, such as sandpaper, sanders, etc. to remove stains from the stone.
• Put the stones in the dishwasher.

What to do:

• Use a blunt and non-abrasive spatula to clean the visible and raised residue stuck to the surface.
• Use a cloth moistened only with water to remove the dust generated by the previous operation.
• Turn the oven on at the maximum temperature for 50 minutes, then let the stone cool down before wiping with a moist cloth again to remove any dust.

Attention!
The stone will become extremely hot while the oven is working. Before any operation, wait until it has cooled down. FOR YOUR SAFETY, CLEANING OPERATIONS MUST ALWAYS BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE OVEN COLD AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY SOCKET.
