TO REASSEMBLE THE IR BURNER:
Replace the burner by sliding the air intake over the brass orifice, centering it in the hole and resting the
rear of the burner onto the base of the cavity and matching the existing mounting hole.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO CENTER THE BURNER ON THE ORIFICE PROPERLY.
Make sure the burner is level and does not rock. Special care must be taken not to hit or damage the
Pilot or Electrode wire while replacing the burner.
ELECTRODE GAPS:
The right gap must be maintained to ensure a proper spark. The gap should be 1/8” to 3/16”. To adjust
gap, hold the base of the wire rod tightly with a pair of pliers, and with another set of pliers, twist the tip
of the wire to achieve the correct gap
NOTE: Rough handling of the electrode can crack the ceramic body, causing all of the igniters to fail.
Light all of the burners and check for proper flame characteristics (see page 18 and 19).
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Always keep the area around the Oven free of obstructions and debris. Maintain at least 1” of space
around Oven to ensure proper airflow, and keep all ventilation openings clear and free of debris.
Visually check flame characteristics and compare to description on page 18 and 19. Adjust if needed.
Clean appliance after each use, and check for blockages, especially at the burner orifices, after periods
of prolonged non-use. To maintain the appearance of your
Alfresco
™ Pizza Oven for many years,
keep it covered when not in use. Backyard environments are harsh on your Oven’s finish. Long
exposure to sun, water, yard chemicals and the elements will reduce the appearance of the stainless
steel. This is especially applicable in ocean front locations, or locations subject to sea mists.
ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grills strongly recommends that you cover your Oven when not in use.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE:
If your
Alfresco
™ Pizza Oven does not function properly use the following checklist before contacting
your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call and the inconvenience of being without
your Oven. Additional troubleshooting tips can be found on our website at

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING:
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other Oven, and cause the gas to flow from the
front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve
panel, thereby damaging the Oven and making it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS: You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately if
any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The Oven does not reach temperature.
3. The Oven heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
