INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE OF THE PRODUCT
Before using the oven as you normally would, it is advisable to briefly light the oven a few times to eliminate
any residual moisture and settle the parts. This is more pertinent for ovens positioned in external
environments where there is greater moisture present.
Do not use volatile flammable substances to light the fire, such as alcohol or similar chemical products.
Light the fire slowly with fine, dry wood until the refractory material takes on a light colour. This means that the
oven has reached the optimum temperature for cooking all types of food.
You are advised to use non-resinous, chopped, dried wood (20% humidity).
In some cases, when the fire is lit for the first time dense smoke will form inside the oven chamber. This is due
to the presence of moisture in the parts and the low temperature of the flue system.
In all cases, the inside of
the oven should never show a dark colour (deposits or black colouring). This indicates that the oven is cold
and therefore not suitable for any type of cooking.
Small cracks appearing following thermal expansion or due to construction factors (MICRO and MACRO
cracks) are distinctive characteristics of the refractory product and do not comprise the stability, durability or
functionality of the oven.
Many dishes can be cooked in the oven. There are two types of cooking system:
Heat convection cooking (indirect radiation): food is cooked after bringing the oven to the correct temperature
(white vault) and/ or residues have been cleaned from the compartment. No internal fire. Cooking suitable for
bread, biscuits, cakes and other items cooked slowly and gradually.
Flame cooking (direct radiation): food is cooked with the fire inside the oven. Cooking suitable for pizzas,
roasting, grilling meat and fish and many other foods.
