FIRE AND SAFETY NOTICE: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow the Mezzo Oven Manual and Health and Saftey instructions may
result in oven damage, cause damage to property, cause bodily injuries or in
some cases even cause death.
If you choose to use the oven, it is done so at your own risk. No liability is accepted
by the Stone Bake Oven Company for any injury, damage or loss incurred.
DO NOT burn flammable liquids or similar at any time in the oven, including but not
limited to; firelighter fluid, petrol, diesel, lantern oil or kerosene.
DO NOT artificially attempt to induce airflow through the oven, e.g. using a fan.
ONLY USE untreated dry hardwood as a fuel and DO NOT burn any refuse,
plastics, treated wood including laminates, charcoal, chipped wood, pressure
treated lumber, sappy wood (for example, pine) or fossil fuels.
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: We strongly recommend gloves for
use during oven operation. ALWAYS keep children, groups of people, and
pets a safe distance form the oven whilst in operation and whilst cooling.
ENSURE all tools and materials used in the oven are appropriate for high
temperatures and take care whilst handling. No liability is accepted for any
injury, damage or loss that occurs because non-approved tools have been used.
BEWARE of high temperatures achieved on the inside the oven and be cautious of
flying sparks. Ensure wood storage is covered by a non- combustable material.
ENSURE if you install your oven and flue indoors/ under cover the appropriate
building regulations and safety restrictions are met. Check with your local
authority.
DO NOT keep any combustible materials, near or within range of the oven
at any time. This includes clothing, furniture, electrics, nearby shrubs or trees,
flammable materials, liquids or the like.
DO NOT touch the oven and flue, or artificially block or cover the oven entrance
at any time during and after operation.
DISPOSE of ashes in a safe way once they are cold. Ensure you regularly clean
your flue parts, failure to do so may result in flue fires
DO NOT modify the oven in any way from the manufacturers design and
specification. “Building in” as described by the Stone Bake Oven Company does
not count as modification.
FIRE PRECAUTION:
Ensure a water fire extinguisher of at least 9 litres capacity (to deal with the oven and
surrounding area) and a bucket of sand are positioned within easy reach. Although
we have tested the use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, in
case of an emergency, we reccomend only sand is used to knock down a fire within
the oven. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety Legislation we strongly suggest that anyone
who may tackle a fire should be adequately trained by a fire safety professional.
