Safe Operation
WARNING: When in use, portions of your pizza oven get hot enough to cause
severe burns. Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in
the area where the pizza oven is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand
or play on or around the pizza oven.
IMPORTANT:
Improper use or installation is dangerous. Because this
pizza oven produces intense heat, the risk of accidents or potential injuries
is increased. Extreme care must be taken. Carefully follow all instructions,
including the following:
„
To reduce the risk of fire, burns or other injury, read this Use and Care Guide thoroughly. Begin by ensuring
proper installation and servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the pizza oven yourself unless it is
specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide. All other service must be carried out by a qualified
gas technician.
„
Never allow children to operate the pizza oven. Do not store items of interest to children in or around the
pizza oven.
„
Do not heat unopened food containers in the pizza oven. The build up of pressure resulting from the heat
may cause the container to burst.
„
Never lean on any part of the part of the pizza oven. When lighting the pizza oven, always pay close
attention to what you are doing. Make sure you are aware of which burner you are lighting and can see
whether or not it is lit. Make sure you have ready access to the ignition button and burner valves when
you are lighting the burner. Make sure you are pushing the ignition button when you attempt to light the
burner.
„
When the burners are on or the oven is still hot, do not touch the cooking deck, any part of the oven’s
interior or any surface near the open front of the pizza oven. These areas become extremely hot and may
cause severe burns. Likewise, do not touch any part of the pizza oven roof, especially near the “chimney”
at the back of the roof.
„
Do not use any cleaner, including water, on a hot pizza oven. Never use any liquids when cleaning the
cooking deck.
„
Be sure all control knobs are in the OFF position and the pizza oven is cool before using any aerosol
cleaner on it or near it. The chemical used for aerosol propellant could ignite in the presence of heat.
Never use aerosol cleaner on the cooking deck.
„
Always use dry pot holders or gloves on hot surfaces or cooking tools: moist or damp pot holders or
gloves may cause steam burns. Never use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot
holders touch hot portions of the pizza oven or allow them to get near the open flame.
„
Do not operate the pizza oven under an unprotected combustible construction. Use only in a well-
ventilated area. The oven is for outdoor use only.
