Before You Cook
A quick safety check should be performed before each time you use the
pizza oven.
1. Clean and inspect the gas hose. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, do not use the
pizza oven. The hose must be replaced prior to using the pizza oven. Replace the hose assembly with
the exact type specified by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet.
2.
Ensure the gas hose is clear of the pizza oven. Keep the fuel supply hose away from any heated
surface(s).
3. Check that the area near the pizza oven is clear of combustible materials and vapors, including alcohol,
gasoline, aerosol containers and dry goods. Keep electrical cords from being in contact with the pizza
oven.
4.
Check that nothing is interfering with the safe operation of the oven by obstructing the ventilation
around and under the unit. The pizza oven requires 6 inches of clearance to the left, right and back of
the unit with no obstructions above.
5.
Do not use the oven with overly loose-fitting clothing, especially loose sleeves that may come in
contact with the hot surfaces inside the oven or near the door.
6.
Have insulated gloves with long cuffs ready and available.
While You are Cooking
1. Never move the pizza oven while it is in use or when it is hot.
2.
The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair your ability to properly assemble
or safely operate the pizza oven.
3. Do not touch the top of the pizza oven, the front shelf or any surfaces inside or near the door opening
while the oven is hot. These surfaces can cause serious burns.
4. Be very careful transporting hot pizzas. The toppings can cause serious burns to yourself or those
around you.
5.
Only use a long-handled brass bristle brush to clean the cooking deck. The handle must be long
enough that your hands stay safely outside of the oven.
6.
Never empty the crumb tray while the oven is hot. The tray and its contents become very hot while the
oven is in use.
