Before First Use
Clean the pizza oven and accessories following the instructions outlined in the section entitled ‘Care and Maintenance’.
Assembling the Pizza Oven
STEP 1: Turn the pizza oven main unit upside down and open the legs.
STEP 2: Turn the pizza oven back over and place on a stable, heat resistant surface. Place the handle on top and align the fixing holes. Insert 2 screws and tighten using a cross head screwdriver (not included).
STEP 3: Place the chimney cowl on top of the chimney and insert 1 screw. Place 1 nut onto the screw on the inside of the chimney. Tighten using pliers and a cross head screwdriver.
STEP 4: Insert the chimney into the round opening on top of the pizza oven.
STEP 5: Install the door handle onto the door using 2 screws and 2 nuts. Tighten using pliers and a cross head screwdriver.
STEP 6: Install the fuel box handle using 2 screws and 2 nuts. Tighten using pliers and a cross head screwdriver. Slot the fuel box grate into the fuel box.
STEP 7: Assemble the pizza paddle using 3 screws and 3 nuts. Tighten using pliers and a cross head screwdriver.
STEP 8: Put the pizza stone inside the pizza oven.
STEP 9: Place the pizza oven door under the 2 tabs on the front of the main unit and push into place until secure.
STEP 10: Insert the fuel box into the back of the pizza oven.
Using and Lighting Wood Pellets
Only use 100 % hardwood pellets.
STEP 1: Check that the pizza oven door is in place. Remove the fuel box from the back of the unit. Using the wood pellet spoon, fill the fuel box with pellets. This should take approx. 3 spoon flus. Replace the fuel box.
STEP 2: Light the pellets using either a fire lighter or a blowtorch.
WARNING: Never use spirits or petrol for lighting or relighting. Only use a blowtorch or fire lighters complying to EN 1860-3.
STEP 3: After 5 minutes, or once the pellets are lit, open the fuel box and use the wood pellet spoon to carefully add 1-3 spoon flus of pellets to the fuel box, taking care not to put out the burning pellets.
NOTE: Make sure the pellets in the fuel box are lit before adding more pellets. There will be some smoke when the pellets are added. After a few minutes this will subside.
STEP 4: Wait for the pellet level to drop. Add a small amount of pellets at a time.
NOTE: Adding too many pellets at once will prevent the pizza oven from reaching optimum temperature.
Extinguishing Wood Pellets
Allow the fire to burn down naturally and leave the pizza oven to cool. Once cooled, remove the fuel box and empty the contents into a steel bucket (not included) filled with cold water.
Cooking Pizzas
NOTE: Pizzas can only be cooked in under 60 seconds if the pizza oven has reached optimum temperature. This is approx. 350-400 °C.
STEP 1: Preheat your oven following the steps in the section entitled ‘Using and Lighting Wood Pellets’.
STEP 2: Dust the top of the pizza paddle with flour. Place the pizza base onto the pizza paddle and add the desired toppings.
NOTE: Both homemade and store-bought pizza dough can be used.
STEP 3: Carefully remove the pizza oven door using the door handle. Slide the pizza from he pizza paddle onto the pizza stone. If the pizza is stuck on the pizza paddle, lift the dough at one side and gently blow underneath it. This will help to release the pizza. Once the pizza is in the pizza oven, carefully slide the pizza oven door back into place.
NOTE: The pizza oven performs best with the front door in place.
STEP 4: After approx. 30 seconds, carefully remove the pizza oven door and slide the pizza paddle under the pizza. Turn the pizza 180 °, then replace the door and cook for approx. 30 seconds.
STEP 5: Before cooking another pizza, top up the wood pellets and wait approx. 1 minute for the pizza oven to reach optimum temperature.
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven for extended periods without the front door in place.
Only remove the door to add, remove or check on food items. Replace the door as soon as possible to prevent fire from escaping out of the back of the pizza oven.
