AFTER USE PROCEDURE
1. Close the door and let the oven burn out
after use. This process can take up to 2
hours.
2. For quicker storing of the oven put on
fireproof gloves, remove the burner and put
the contents into a bucket filled with water.
Open the door of the Pizza Oven and allow
the oven to cool completely for about 30
minutes.
CLEANING THE PIZZA STONE
1. Remove the pizza stone from the Pizza Oven
and carefully scrape off residues from the
stone with a hob scraper or a sharp knife.
2. The pizza stone is a utility object and
over time it will get stains from burnt on
ingredients. This is completely normal and
will not interfere with the functioning of the
stone.
3. If you want to wash the stone with water -
DO NOT USE DETERGENT
. After washing it
with water, let the stone dry in an oven for
at least 3 hours at 80°C. You can also leave
it to air dry in a warm area for 24 hours.
STORING THE PIZZA OVEN
1. The Pizza Oven comes with 4 foldable
stainless steel feet. The oven can be stored
and transported more easily with the feet
folded up. If you don’t use the oven for a
long time and if you want to save space,
then you can also remove the chimney.
2. To prevent rusting and weathering the
Pizza Oven should always be stored in a dry
environment after it has completely cooled
down. Cover the oven with a weather
resistant tarpaulin or store it in the garage
or shed.
I CAN’T LIGHT THE OVEN
100% hardwood pellets are energy dense and
should light easily. If you are having difficulty
with lighting then it may be that the pellets
have absorbed some moisture.
Remember to keep the door on throughout
your cook.
Caution: Never use in high winds.
MY OVEN IS TOO HOT
Here are a few tips to follow if you find that
your oven is running too hot:
• Reduce the amount of pellets added.
• Wind may be entering the rear of your oven
and encouraging heat to flow through the
oven. Rotate the oven 180° before your next
cook to reduce the impact of this airflow.
• Ensure that your stone baking board is flush
with the front of the oven.
MY OVEN IS NOT HOT ENOUGH
If your oven is not reaching top temperatures,
here are a few things to consider:
• Your stone baking board should be dry before
you cook (you can dry this in a conventional
oven at 140°F (60°C) for 2 hours).
• If your oven has been exposed to adverse
weather conditions, including rain, it will take
longer to preheat.
• The grate in your burner may need to be
brushed to free up the air holes before
lighting.
• The pellets that you are using must be dry
and suitable for the oven.
• Maintain a consistent pellet level as you cook
• Ensure that the oven door is kept on
throughout your cook.
• Give the oven time to reheat in between
cooks.
I AM SEEING SMOKE OR SOOT / MY
PIZZA TASTES OVERCOOKED
When any wood starts to burn, there will be
smoke produced until it reaches optimum
temperatures.
It is normal for the oven to have a light layer of
soot after use.
If you are seeing excess smoke or soot, add
pellets gradually and make sure they are
burning cleanly before cooking. If you continue
to see dark smoke, it may be that your pellets
are not completely dry or that too many have
