READ THIS CARE AND USE MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE USING YOUR
PIZZA OVEN TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, BURN HAZARD OR OTHER INJURY. KEEP THIS
MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
When properly cared for, your
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven will give safe, reliable service for many years.
However, extreme care must be used since the Pizza produces intense heat, which can increase acci-
dent potential. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, including but not lim-
ited to the following:
Begin by ensuring proper assembly. A qualified technician should perform all other service.
Do not repair or replace any part of the pizza oven unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All other service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel while cooking.
Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance.
Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any
hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause personal burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot por-
tions of the pizza oven.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suita-
ble for oven use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings and according to their manufacturer’s directions.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Avoid letting grease deposits collect on the hearth stone by cleaning the grease often, but never
while the oven is ON or HOT from recent use.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the hearth stone. This can severely upset temperatures, combustion
and airflow or trap excessive heat in the stone and control area. The result of this can be damaged
knobs, electrical components and increased chance of personal injury.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the oven is being used. Never allow
them to sit, stand or play on or around the oven. Do not store items of interest to children around or
below the oven. Never allow children to crawl inside of the built -in structure.
Do not heat unopened food containers that may cause the container to build-up pressure and burst.
Protect your hand when opening a hot oven door.
When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing.
When using the oven: do not touch the oven hearth stone, opening archway, doors or door frame
surrounding areas with your bare hands as these areas become extremely hot and could cause
burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided for the operation of the oven
