DISCONNECTING THE GAS 
After cooking, turn off the gas from the gas 

cylinder before turning off your Pizza Oven. This 

will allow any gas left within the burner and/or 

hose assembly type 27 to be used up safely.  
Once the flames are fully extinguished within 

the pizza oven (up to 2 mins), you can rotate 

the Pizza Oven control knob to the off position 

(clockwise). 
It is now safe to disconnect the Regulator and 

hose assembly type 27 from your gas cylinder. 

FIRST USE

USING YOUR PIZZA OVEN

OVEN EXPLODED DIAGRAM 

To burn off any residual manufacturing oils, it’s 

important to run your Pizza Oven for a period of 

time without cooking. 
1.  Turn on the gas supply at your gas cylinder.
2.  Press and hold the control knob down 

and turn to the Max heating position for at 

least 15 seconds. You will hear the ignitor 

‘clicking’ and the burner should alight within 

your appliance.

3.  Turn the control knob down to the Low 

setting and run your appliance on this setting 

for 30 minutes.

4.  Use your control knob to increase the power 

to approximately ¾ high power level and run 

for a further 15–20 minutes.

REGULAR USE

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: 
1.  BEFORE IGNITING THE APPLIANCE, OPEN 

THE COVER OF BATTERY AND PLACE AN 

AA BATTERY INSIDE IT, THEN TIGHTEN IT 

(REMEMBER TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 

WHEN NO SPARK COMES OUT).

2.  Ensure hose and connections are leak tight.
3.  Push in control knob and slowly turn 

anticlockwise to MAX holding down the knob 

for 15 seconds to ensure the burner is alight. 

Keep face away from opening.

4.  If burner does not light turn knob to “OFF” 

and wait 3 minutes for gas to dispel before 

repeating step 3 Follow match lighting 

instructions if the burner can’t be lit after 

repeating 3-4 times.

There is a lot of variability when it comes to 

cooking pizzas, including the type of dough, 

thickness, types of toppings, etc which will 

all vary your cooking time and optimum heat 

settings. It may take some trial and error to begin 

with!  Our recommended setting is as follows.
1.  Heat up your pizza oven on high for at least 10 

minutes before you are wanting to cook. This 

will allow the pizza stone to achieve a suitable 

temperature for cooking your pizzas.

2.  Using your pizza peel (paddle), slide your first 

pizza into the oven. Keeping towards the front.

3.  Halfway through cooking (typically 45 

seconds), use your pizza paddle to remove 

your pizza. Rotate the base on your pizza 

paddle and re-insert into the oven. This will 

help to ensure your pizza cooks evenly.

4.  Use your pizza peel to remove your cooked 

pizza from the oven. Typically, 90 seconds on 

HIGH.

TIPS:

If your pizza is burning, turn down your pizza 

oven to between 3/4 to 1/2 power level. Dusting 

your pizza base with some flour will help ensure 

it slides from your pizza peel without sticking. 

Brushing your pizza paddle with some flour can 

also assist. 

GAS SAFETY

MATCH LIGHTING PROCESS 
If for some reason, the ignitor fails to produce 

a spark at the electrode, the appliance can be 

lit by a long barbecue match using the match 

holder supplied. Push and turn the control knob 

while inserting the lit match through the front of 

the oven.
