Caring for Your Pizza Oven
CONTINUED
Burner Care:
The burners should be visually inspected once a year. To access the burners, first make sure the pizza oven
is completely cooled. Ensure the pizza oven control valves are in the OFF position and turn off the main gas
supply. Remove the roof (see Figure 5:F) and middle body (see Figure 5:D). The upper burner is now exposed.
Carefully remove the cooking decks (see Figure 5:C) and heat diffusers (see Figure 5:B). The lower burner is
now exposed as well. Visually inspect the burners to confirm they are structurally sound.
It is unlikely the burners in your pizza oven will become dirty. However, they may be cleaned using a brass
brush if necessary. Gently brush off any debris, being careful not to dislodge the burners. Clogged burner
ports may be opened up with a straightened paper clip. Do not use a toothpick or anything else that could
break off inside the burner ports.
After cleaning the burners, you must make sure the venturi opening (see Figure 13:F) is centered over the
brass orifice (see Figure 13:E). Once you have confirmed this by visually inspecting from below, reassemble the
pizza oven and visually inspect the gas hose before lighting.
