Proper gas piping: In order to insure proper performance of this unit as well as other
gas appliances on the same gas supply lines, a well-planned and properly sized gas
supply system is a must. If the appliances are to be connected to existing piping, the
piping should be checked for adequate capacity enabling full firing for all of the units
that are to use the piping run.
•
Pipe thread sealant (joint compound) shall be used sparingly and only on male
threads of pipe joint. Such compounds shall be resistant to the action of L.P. gases.
WARNING:
All pipe fittings must be clean and free of dirt or other contaminants.
Any loose particles, such as dirt or metal filing, in gas lines can damage the controls
and affect operation.
•
Make certain not to obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Insure that
air intake openings around the appliance jacket are not obstructed.
•
Appliance must be connected to suitable exhaust duct in compliance with all
applicable local codes.
•
Position the appliance to insure that proper clearances for safety and service are
provided.

Start up and operation
All appliances are operationally checked and adjusted before leaving our factory. These
adjustments are made to verify effective operation and that the appliance meets the
requirements of the tests standards. At the installation site making sure all local codes
are met is the responsibility of the installer.
Baba Clay Oven uses a safety pilot system to ignite the burner and monitor flames and
to shut off the gas supply in case of loss of burner or pilot flames. The gas supplies to
the pilot and burner are fed through a thermo- magnetic safety valve. A thermocouple is
part of the safety systems and it functions to hold the gas valve open after a proper pilot
flame is established.
Before firing of unit, fit burner plate over burner and place a layer of rocks evenly and
level onto plate. Only use rocks as supplied with the appliance.
