For each specific configuration of oven there is a system that determines what the desired flame
height will be. Each flame height corresponds to
a saturated floor temperature. Several factors
need to be accounted for in order to determine this relationship for each oven. Burning wood
simultaneously in the oven will influence the settings below.
USING THE FLAME HEIGHT INDICATOR SCALE
Heat Up Flame:
Set Throttle Knob Pointer at “
5
” (highest setting) on the Flame Height Index Scale
until desired temperature is reached.
Holding Flame: Set the flame height to “3” (~8
–
9" flame) on the Flame Height Index Scale for
desired temperature of 570
–
600 °F. Set th
e flame height to “
2
” (~
5
–
6
" flame) on the Flame Height
Index Scale for desired temperature of
450
–
480
°F.
Cooking Flame: After introducing the pizza/product into the oven, visually raise the flame to
approximately
3
inches higher than the Holding Flame.
R
eturn the Flame Height Control Knob to the Holding Flame position after removing the
pizza/product from the oven.
THE COOKING FLAME HAS TWO PURPOSES:
1. To bake the top of the pizza/product as fast as the bottom of the pizza/product. 2. To help
replace hea
t to the floor (hearth) that is lost during production cooking.
Note: The settings recommended on the Flame Height Index Scale for specific flames are based on
ovens that have been installed according to specifications. Individual results may vary slightly
.
