1. About your Primo 60 Oven
Congratulations you are now the owner of your own
registered design Primo Oven, by the Stone Bake
Oven Company.
Your Primo 60 Oven:
• Has been kiln dried before dispatch - no curing fires
•
Has Micro-Mesh re-inforcement
•
Is hand cast in the UK
!
Before using the oven, follow all the Primo Manual installation steps, check that there
are no obvious defects in the oven, and that the safety information has been read and
understood by anyone using the oven. Failure to do so may void the oven warranty.
TOP TIP:
To get the very most from your oven, be sure to check out the online cooking
techniques guide and our free recipe’s. www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk
1.1 Protecting your Primo from the elements.
To protect your oven from wet weather and frost in the long term, simply apply the
Stone Bake Sealant twice per year, available from the online shop. This ensures your
oven’s longevity and keeps your oven dry for fast heat up times.
- If you have built your Primo Oven in, there is no need to apply sealant.
1.2 Primo Oven finish
Due to the nature of the materials used to make your oven, and the hand casting
process, natural variations between ovens is expected. Here at the Stone Bake Oven
Company we believe each oven is unique, adding to its rustic and individual charm.
1.3 Soot
After the first use your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot
accumilation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 If your Primo Oven chips/ cracks
Take care when maneuvering your Primo Oven, as slight chipping may occur. Simply
ask the Stone Bake Team for a patch kit.
Due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, the appearance
of hairline cracks, visible during and after operation is expected.
This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven. This WILL NOT effect the
longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake Oven.
1.5 Primo reinforcement fibres
On very rare occasions there is potential for fine metal fibres to protrude from the
oven base or dome. Please take care and consideration when maneuvering the
oven. These fibres can simply be removed or trimmed.
1.6 Primo Oven maintenance
Great! A self-cleaning oven! The Primo 60 boasts very little cleaning and
maintenance. All spilled or stuck on food will be burnt off by the heat achieved
within the oven. Simply remove the ashes before the next firing in a safe way, (see
section 3.5)
!
Ensure you regularily clean your Primo Oven flue, failure to do so may result in a flue
fire.
1.7 Building your Primo Oven in
When we mention “building the Primo Oven in, ” we mean applying further insulation
to the Primo Oven dome and building an enclosure around it or rendering it. The
benefits of building in a Primo Oven include extending heat retention from 4+ hours
to over 20+ hours, it will be weatherproof, and the ability to finish the Primo Oven to
your own design, using wood, brick, metal, stone or other materials.

2. Primo 60 Oven Assembly
2.1 Primo Oven and Flue clearances
Oven clearances are recommended for your safety and the safety of your property.
If you use the oven in its core form, greater oven clearances are required. If you
choose to build the Primo in, lesser oven clearances are required. It is essential that
these clearances are maintained, from any combustable materials, failure to do so
may result in fire.
