PREHEATING THE OVEN IR
-
BURNER:
Preheating the Hearth Stone IR BURNER at maximum is important to allow proper combustion at lower
settings later on as well as speeding up the process of heating up the oven. After lighting the IR BURN-
ER as described before, allow to preheat on “ MAX ” for 15 minutes before beginning to cook.
Preheat the IR
-
BURNER first, this will also preheat the Hearth Stone and the oven as a whole.
PREHEATING THE CERAMIC LOG:
Preheating the Ceramic Log is not necessary. The Ceramic log sits directly in the exhaust flue of the
Hearth Stone IR
-
Burner, therefore it will be already preheated by the time the oven reaches cooking
temperatures.
The Ceramic Log Burner is used to create a blast of hot air and infra red heat to reach searing tempera-
tures very fast. It should not be left on HI setting for long times as it will make the oven very hot beyond
usable cooking temperatures.
NOTE: If the Ceramic Log Burner is left on to provide a warm glow while cooking, please do so at a low
setting with minimal flames.
BURNER ADJUSTMENTS:
NOTE: The
Alfresco
™ Pizza Oven Burners do not require any primary air
-
mix adjustment and need
only be checked visually for proper performance and low temperature settings only.
The
Alfresco
™ Pizza Oven is equipped with adjustable gas valves. These valves can be adjusted for
burner minimum (MIN) settings only.
This procedure can be done by removing the gas adjustment knobs and bezels on the front panel to ex-
pose the valve adjustment screw. (A small blade screw driver is required for this adjustment)
