The Gas Bottle
A gas bottle is not supplied with this pizza oven. The gas bottle
must be provided by the end user. Do not drop your gas bottle or
handle it roughly or inappropriately.
When the pizza oven is not being used, the gas bottle must be
separated from the pizza oven. Fit the gas bottle with its protec-
tive cap once it has been disconnected from the pizza oven. The
gas bottle must be stored separate from the pizza oven.
The storage of gas bottles is not permitted in underground spac-
es, in stair wells, passageways and thoroughfares of buildings,
or in their immediate vicinity. The valves must be fitted with valve
protection caps and lock nuts. Gas bottles - including empty
ones - must be stored upright.
Gas bottles must be stored outdoors in an upright position and
out of reach of children. The gas bottle must not be stored in are-
as in which the temperature exceeds 50ºC. Do not store the gas
bottle nears flames or other flammable sources.
Do not smoke
in the vicinity of gas bottles!
Connection to the pizza oven
Place the gas bottle next to the pizza oven on the floor.
Before the gas bottle is connected to the pizza oven, you must
ensure that there is no dirt in the heads of the gas bottle, the
regulator, or the burner. Spiders and insects can get in there
and thus block the burner or the venturi tube at the opening.
A blocked burner can cause a fire underneath the pizza oven.
Clean blocked burner openings using a sturdy pipe cleaner.
Warning!
Attach one hand of the gas hose to the thread of the
pressure regulator and tighten by hand; then, using a 17-mm jaw
spanner, tighten it firmly.
Attention left-hand thread! Do not use any additional seal!
Attach the other end of the gas hose to the thread of the valve
connection on the pizza oven, tightening by hand. Then tighten
it firmly with the help of a 17-mm jaw spanner.
Attention left-hand thread! Do not use any additional seal!
Connect the pressure regulator to the gas bottle valve, tighten-
ing it by hand.
Follow the instructions included with the regulator.
Warning!
Prior to use test all connections for gas leaks.
Always perform the test using soapy water. Never use an open
flame to detect leaks.
Checking for Gas Leaks
• Mix one part dishwashing liquid with 3 parts water. For test-
ing, approx. 50 ml of soapy water is needed.
• Ensure that all temperature regulators are set to
(off).
• Connect the regulator with the gas bottle and turn on the
burner using the left temperature regulator. Ensure that the
connections are securely made.
• Turn on the gas intake.
• Apply the soapy water to the hose and to all connections. If
bubbles appear, a leak is present.
• Fix the leak and then start the test again.
• Switch off the gas once the test has been concluded.
• If a leak is found and it cannot be repaired, do not attempt to
repair the leak further. In this case, contact a professional.
• Do not use the pizza oven until the leak has been properly
repaired.
Setting up the pizza oven
Attention Risk of damage!
During use, the screws can loosen slowly.
– Check that all screws are tightened before use. If necessary,
tighten all screws to guarantee stability.
– Place the pizza oven outdoors on a level, heat-resistant, solid
surface.
– When using the pizza oven, the floor and wall surfaces can
occasionally be contaminated, e.g. from splashes of fat. Make
sure that the subsurface is adequately protected against such
contamination.
Before baking
• Wash off any coarse production residues with warm water,
avoiding the use of detergents or detergents.
Pre-firing
• Before baking for the first time, heat up the pizza oven for
min. 15 minutes without food. The heat cleans the internal
parts and burns away the finishing residues of coloured
parts. In the process, odours and some smoke may develop.
However, this is harmless and only lasts a short time. Ensure
sufficient ventilation.
Pre-heating
• It is recommended to preheat the pizza oven for about 10-15
minutes before each use.
Pizza stone
• DO NOT use the stone over an open flame.
• Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations in the stone.
DO NOT put frozen food on a hot stone.
• The stone is fragile and can break if hit or dropped.
• The stone is very hot during use and will stay hot for a long
time after use.
• DO NOT cool a hot stone with water.
Operation
Danger Risk of burning!
The pizza oven, contained pellets and baking items
get very hot during use so that contact with them can
cause serious burns.
– Keep away from hot parts as any contact can cause severe
burns.
– Always wear oven or BBQ gloves when baking. (Glove Cate-
gory II with regard to heat protection, e.g. DIN-EN 407. Glove
must match the PSA regulation.)
– Use long-handled utensils with heat-resistant handles only.
– Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves.
Danger Risk of explosion!
Read through the following instructions for turning
on/firing up the pizza oven and all warning and safety
information first, before actually firing up the pizza
oven.
– Check the pizza oven for cracks, cuts or other damage, before
using it.
