CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• Use caution when lifting and moving the pizza oven to avoid strains or back injury. 2 people are
recommended to lift or move the pizza oven.
• DO NOT store the pizza oven near gasoline or other combustible liquids or where combustible
vapour may be present. Keep the area around the pizza oven clear and free of combustible materials
and vapors.
• DO NOT store this pizza oven in an area accessible to children or pets. Store the pizza oven in a dry,
protected location.
• DO NOT allow anyone to conduct activities around the pizza oven following use until it has cooled. It
is hot during operation and remains hot for a period of time following use.
• This pizza oven becomes extremely hot. Allow the pizza oven to cool completely before handling.
If you must handle the pizza oven whilst it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective mitts or heat resistant
gloves. Allow the pizza oven to cool before cleaning the roast racks and pizza stone.
Regularly clean your pizza oven between uses and especially after extended periods of
storage. Never douse the pizza oven with water when its surfaces are hot.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your pizza oven, we strongly
recommend that the unit be cooled, cleaned, dried and then covered when left outside for
any length of time, especially during the winter months.
1. CARE OF BURNERS
Ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes,
the primary air inlet, or the neck of the burners. Use compressed air or a pipe cleaner wire to
clear obstructions. A wire brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner surfaces.
2. PIZZA STONE
The pizza stone can be cleaned by scraping any excess food from the stone. Do not
immerse the pizza stone in water. A damp cloth maybe used to remove any food residue.
3. COOKING TIPS
Because the pizza stone sits directly above the burner it can get extremely hot. If you are
finding that your pizza bases are cooking too quickly or burning on the stone then the first
step is to turn down the gas setting to low. Remember the stone will actually be a lot hotter
than the temperature gauge reading on the oven door.
If you are still cooking the pizzas quickly we recommend starting to cook the pizzas on either
of the two roasting racks first. This will allow the pizza toppings to cook through first before
placing the pizza on the stone to crisp the base. Also recommend the use of pizza trays if
you have them.
