Initial Assembly

For easier care and service, your Artisan Fire Pizza Oven stacks together. No 
tools are required for initial assembly.

A. 

Place BASE UNIT A in the desired location, 6 inches away from any combustible surface on the sides, 
back and front. The pizza oven may NOT be placed underneath any overhead combustible surface.

B. 

Insert HEAT DIFFUSERS B into BASE UNIT A. These will be positioned between the lower burner and 
the cooking decks.

C. 

Remove COOKING DECKS C from the cardboard box. Remove any stickers from the cooking deck. 
Carefully insert the cooking decks into BASE UNIT A. Sudden impact will crack the cooking decks, so 
use caution.

D. 

Place MID BODY D onto BASE UNIT A, aligning the holes in the bottom of MID BODY D with the 
small posts on BASE UNIT A. MID BODY D should sit flat and be positively located by the posts.

E. 

Insert CEILING STONE E into the top 
opening of MID BODY E. Remove any tape 
that may have been used during shipping.

F. 

Place ROOF F onto MID BODY D. The large 
opening at the top should face rearward. 
This is the exhaust “chimney.”

G. 

If not already on the unit, mount CONTROL 
KNOBS G & H on the valve posts. Be sure 
the flat side of the opening in the knob 
casting is aligned with the flat side of the 
valve stem (see Figure 11). The metal tab 
welded into the knob opening is placed 
against the round side of the valve stem.

I. 

Insert CRUMB TRAY I into the opening on 
the front of the unit below the main shelf. It 
sits on a ledge. Crumbs can be brushed off 
the cooking deck down into the gap at the 
front of the stone, falling into the crumb tray. 

WARNING: 

The crumb tray will become hot 

during operation. To avoid burns, be certain 
the oven is cool before touching the tray, or 
use an appropriate cooking mitt.

J. 

The pizza oven DOOR J sits in the 
doorway.  

WARNING: 

Never operate the 

oven with the door in place.

K. 

MANUAL IGNITION WAND K is 
for use in manually igniting the 
oven. It may be stored on the 
ledge on the underside of the side 
shelf on BASE UNIT A.
