GUIDELINES FOR OVEN USE
1. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS NOT SPECIFIED FOR USE WITH THIS OVEN.
2. Be sure to only burn seasoned or dried, untreated solid wood fuel in the oven. NEVER BURN
OTHER FUELS IN THE OVEN SUCH AS LIQUIDS, CHARCOALS OR GARBAGE.
3. Firewood stored in the vicinity of the oven must be kept in a tightly sealed metal container; see
maintenance instructions and NFPA 96 guidelines. Keep the container closed at all times when not
adding or removing wood. Store the container a considerable distance from the oven and far away
from sources of heat or ignition. The container must be a minimum of 6” off of the floor. DO NOT
STORE EASILY IGNITED ITEMS WITH FIREWOOD.
4. If installed WITH an exhaust hood, provisions must be made to supply sufficient combustion
air into the oven during use. Combustion air must be supplied in accordance with local codes and
the Uniform Mechanical Code, as well as NFPA 96. The exhaust hood and make-up air blowers
must be on at all times when firing. If the exhaust hood power ventilator fails, close the oven door
to extinguish the fire and prevent temperature buildup in the hood duct, which can activate the
emergency suppression system. Exhaust hoods must extend a minimum of 12” from the opening
of the oven. NEVER close the oven door fully unless there is an emergency.
5. Use only non-combustible hearth tools and cooking implements inside the oven (we offer an
entire line of Marra Forni pizza making tools).
6. NEVER ELEVATE THE FIRE. Fires should always be built directly on the hearth.
WOOD FIRE MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. IMPROPER USE OR MAINTENANCE OF
THIS APPLIANCE MAY RESULT IN A BUILDING FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY
1. Always be sure to keep all fuel, furnishings, and other combustible objects away from the oven
(refer to the combustible clearance distances found on page 8 of this manual).
2. DISPOSAL OF ASHES – Using a metal container with a tight-fitting lid, ashes from the ash pan
should be placed away from all combustible materials (including floors and walls) until ready for
final disposal. Be sure to keep ashes in the closed container until all of the cinders have completely
cooled. Once cool, ashes can be disposed of by burying in soil or dispersing locally.
3. After ashes have been removed, the hearth may be wiped down with clean damp cloths.
4. Always be sure to store your wood away from any source of heat or flame in a cool, dry place. If
you decide to store your wood outside, be sure to keep it covered to protect it from precipitation. If
you store your wood inside, it must be kept in a covered metal container at least 6 inches off of the
floor. Always be sure to keep any combustible materials (paper, rags, etc.) away from the wood.
Refer to NFPA 96 for wood storage procedures.
