■ Allow the Pizza Oven to cool down for
at least 120 minutes after use. Even if
no flames are visible, a strong residual
heat can remain in the oven.
■ The Pizza Oven has to be cooled down
completely before being stored.
■ Do not modify the device.
■ Always wear fireproof gloves while
firing the Pizza Oven.
TYPE OF PELLETS
Only use 100% hardwood pellets that are
meant for cooking and grilling. Avoid using
softwood pellets as they won’t burn as
efficiently.
Do not use pellets meant for animal bedding
or heating. These can contain additives and
potentially harmful chemicals.
LIGHTING METHOD
Use a natural firestarter to light your Pizza
Oven. It will take approximately 10 minutes to
reach optimum cooking temperature.
1. Remove your wood pellet burner from the
back of the oven.
Allow these to light fully before putting the
burner into the oven.
READY TO COOK
1. When the oven thermometer shows
around 400ºC, open the door and push the
pizza to the centre of the stone. Close the
door.
5. Rotate the pizza by 180º once after 45
seconds.
6. You can observe the baking process of you
pizza through the peephole.
7. After 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the
thickness of the pizza dough, your pizza is
ready.
MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE
To get the most consistent burn, top up your
pellets little and often. It will run best when
pellets are topped up to approximately 3cm
(1”) from the top of the burner.
Never add a full load of pellets while lighting
or topping up. Instead, add small amounts of
pellets gradually and allow these to light fully
before topping up.
After cooking
■ Always wear fireproof gloves when
handling the Pizza Oven.
DISPOSING OF ASH
When you have finished cooking, allow the
oven to burn through any remaining pellets.
Once the oven has completely cooled, use the
following steps to dispose of any residual ash.
Please note that pellets may still be warm and
that heatproof gloves should be worn. Allow
the oven to cool for at least 1 hour before
disposing of ash and storing.
1. While wearing heatproof gloves, carefully
remove the burner.
2. Gently shake the ash in to a large metal
bucket of water.
Do not submerge or expose the oven grate
directly to the water as this can cause
personal injury or damage to the oven.
2. Make sure the front door is on and only take
it off when adding or removing food.
3. Half fill the wood pellet burner with 100%
hardwood pellets.
4. Place a natural firestarter on top of your
pellets.
Do not use petroleum based firestarters
as these may impart unwanted flavours to
your food.
5. Light the firestarter and wait for the pellets
to heat up.
6. Add small amounts of pellets gradually
once your starter pellets are fully alight.
