Use a minimum 1/2” Ø Flex Hose to prevent gas starvation. Alternatively, use a 1/2” NPT hard gas
pipeline. (
See Figure # 7
)
Ensure that the service pipe supplying the oven is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned
and easily accessible as an emergency gas shutoff.
Your
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven for use with Natural Gas comes equipped with its own regulator which
MUST NOT be removed. If this regulator needs to be replaced use only the type specified by
Arti-
san
™
for this appliance.
To connect the hose assembly follow the next steps:
Locate the regulator and gas connection point in the rear left side of your oven unit.
Fasten the Flex Hose connection to the 1/2” ODF (flare fitting) provided with the oven unit.
(
See Figure # 7
). When using a 1/2” Ø flexible stainless steel gas hose, do not connect a
hose that is more than 48” in length.
Alternatively, you can use a 1/2” NPT hard gas pipeline with the appropriate fittings.
COUNTERTOP INSTALLATIONS:
Because of the
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven’s unique countertop design, it is possible to install the gas sup-
ply (NG or LP) from a location below the counter. The oven is constructed with an opening at the bot-
tom heat shield to facilitate connections. (
