NAPOLI PIZZA OVENS CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOUR
FIRST
USE
There are a few must-check safety precautions to consider
before you use your oven. Please be sure that:
• All packing materials and tie-downs have been removed.
(See INDEX: “Unpacking and Assembly” for further
details.)
• You have fuel connected. (See INDEX: “Gas
Requirements” for further details.)
• You have electricity connected. (See INDEX: “Electric
Requirements” for further details.)
• A qualified plumber has performed a leak test on all the
fittings that supply fuel to your oven.
• IF YOUR OVEN DOES NOT LIGHT IN 4 TO 5 SECONDS
you may need to purge the line. (See INDEX: “Purging
the Gas Line”
AT EACH NEW SEASON
At the start of each new outdoor cooking season you
should remove and check the venturis, orifices and valves
for obstructions.
Spiders and insects often nest in these areas of the oven
and can disrupt air flow, causing damage to the oven and
personal injury.
Also, check all hoses and fittings for damage, abrasion,
wear and tear.
BEFORE
EACH
USE
Before any use, always make sure that:
• ... you do not smell gas before you light the oven. If you
do smell gas, shut everything off and have a qualified
plumber check for leaks.
• … the cooking area is free and clear of any combustibles,
besides your food, that might ignite.
• … the control knobs turn freely.
• … if you are using a portable propane cylinder, it is
securely connected and leak tested. (See INDEX:
“Cylinder Retention Instructions” for details.)
• … you know where the main gas supply shut-off is
located.
• … the burners are seated properly in the oven. The main
burners must sit flush and firmly on the burner mounting
support frame. (See INDEX: “Unpacking and Assembly”
for further details.)
• … wind is not blowing too strongly or blowing on the
front of oven.
USING YOUR LYNX PIZZA OVEN
Best results are achieved when the pizza oven is allowed
to preheat a minimum of 35 minutes with the door closed
for best performance. Allow a little more time for colder
ambient temperatures.
With the burners on high the pizza oven internal
temperature can reach 700 °F to 800 ° F. After preheating,
a medium high setting is an ideal temperature for preparing
thin and medium crust pizza. Cooking time will be
approximately 4 minutes and remember to rotate the pizza
often for even heating.
With the burners set from medium to low the internal
temperature can reach 300°F to 500°F. This is suitable for
cooking medium to deep dish pizzas, calzones, roasts and
slow baked items. Cooking times will be 8 to 10 minutes.
Remember to rotate your pizzas a couple times during
baking for even doneness. Thick pizzas can take up to 20
–30 minutes depending on the thickness of the dough.
Avoid baking greasy or fatty food directly on the oven deck.
When preparing these types of meals cooking utensils, such
as cookie sheets, pots and pans, should be used.
When cooking roasts and vegetables it is best to preheat
your cooking utensils prior to placing in the oven.
