LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE PIZZA OVEN:
When determining a suitable location for your
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven, take into account concerns such
as exposure to wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas supply line runs as
short as possible.
Locate the oven only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the oven in a building, garage, breezeway,
shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. Never locate the oven over,
under or next to overhead combustible construction.
CLEARANCES:
TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTIONS:
A minimum of
3”
clearance from the back of the oven
Top Rear Exhaust
to non-combustible
construction is required to allow the hot exhaust air to escape freely.
A minimum of
1”
clearance around the oven perimeter (bottom section) to non-combustible construction
is required to allow air intake through the bottom of the unit for proper flame combustion.
TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTIONS:
A minimum of
12”
clearance from the back of the oven
Top Rear Exhaust
to combustible construction
is required to allow the hot exhaust air to escape freely.
A minimum of
1”
clearance around the oven perimeter (bottom section) to combustible construction is
required to allow air intake through the bottom of the unit for proper combustion. Combustible materials
however,
should never
touch any exterior surface of the oven.
COUNTERTOPS:
It is recommended that the
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven be placed on top of non-combustible surfaces.
If the
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven is operated while on top of combustible countertops, discoloration or
damage could occur. Additionally countertops made of wood, laminates, wood composites and
countertops with other combustible materials like binders and / or finishes such as oil, lacquer, varnish,
shellac, paints or other combustible finishes are not recommended.
ASSEMBLY:
Before using your
Artisan
™
Pizza Oven, complete the following steps:
1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Ensure that the hearth (bottom) burner is positioned correctly on it’s orifice, and is fully
seated onto its supports (screwed in). It should not move.
3. Install the Hearth Stones and Top radiant.
4. Make the connection to the gas regulator according to the instructions on pages 10 & 11
for your gas type.
5. Allow a 1” (minimum, 6” preferably) clearance around all bottom sides of the oven for
proper air movement and avoid placing other items near it that might block airflow.
