BUMPS AND ACCIDENTAL PUSHES
Avoid moving the oven, by hitting or pushing, but lifting it carefully using the handles.
CURING AND FIRST FIRING FOR WOOD FIRED OVEN
THIS PRE HEATING STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!
The first and initial fire allow humidity removal from the oven, the same has already been brought to a
temperature up to 250°C - 480°F (in the highest point in the dome) for about an hour.
RELEASE OF WATER ON THE FIRST FIRING ARE FREQUENTLY AND DO NOT COMPROMISE THE PRODUCT
GOODNESS.
The first time you light the fire in the oven must be avoided to achieve a big flame. The aim is to gradually
reach higher temperatures and with more ignitions, trying to keep lower the fire flame.
If from the first ignitions the flame is too high it may affect the longevity of your oven, efficiency in the
cooking of food, and cause permanent damage which may void the warranty.
After this step the oven will have eliminated all the accumulated humidity and will be ready to cook.
A valid method to heat your new oven is to provide a fire in another separate place. Then take the embers
and place it into the oven. So it can generate heat without the flame and the oven is pre-heated as required.
Some clients find this much easier way to do this first phase.
The last traces of "water" from the elements in refractory will be completely deleted when it reached a
temperature of over 400°C - 750°F.
NOTE
Due to the normal thermal expansion, small cracks may appear in the inner dome or in the oven
floor without compromising product quality.
OVEN COOKING
The oven has an internal volume of small dimensions, so you should not and it is not necessary to make big
fire. You will notice that the oven temperature will rise rapidly even with a small fire.
Feeds the fire with little logs at a time to avoid sudden increases in temperature.
Be careful when inserting the wood in the oven, always use dry wood (dried for at least two years).
If you see any trace of humidity coming from the logs pieces while they are on fire, they are not dry. The
use of wet logs will cause a considerable emission of smoke from the oven and may cause damage to the
dome for the high humidity content.
