Use a pipe joint compound that is resistant to the action of Natural and liquefied petroleum
gases when making gas connections. For Propane gas, use a least ½. pipe or tubing with a 5/8
inside diameter. For Natural gas, use ¾. pipe.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than ½. psig (3.45 kpa).
The appliance and its shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½. psig (3.45
kpa).
The gas pressure regulator is part of the oven and is adjusted at the factory to yield a
pressure of 5.5” water column for Natural Gas. If the oven has been ordered for use on Propane
Gas, the pressure regulators preset at the factor to yield a pressure of 11” water column.
A shut-off valve for the oven and must not be removed. This gas shut-off valve is for
pressure checks.
After the gas supply has been connected, it is extremely important to check all the piping
for leaks. Use a soap and water solution or a product made expressly for this purpose. Do not use
matches, candles or a flame etc. to check leaks since these methods are extremely dangerous.
The plumber should ensure that there are no leaks and that the gas pressure does not drop below
manifold pressures.

Pizza Deck Care:
The pizza deck is constructed of steel. It has been pre-burned with lard at the factory as
you would a cast iron skillet or pan. Other oils can be used. Care of placing product on the deck
is important. Otherwise, the acids of spilled food or sauces will remove the coating. The deck
should be re-coated periodically depending on use.
6
Burner Lighting:
Your state of the art oven requires no pilot lighting. The pizza oven’s computerized
system automatically controls ignition for the deck burners and the topping burners.
7
Aeration Adjustment:
Flame and air mixer adjustments for the Main Burner and the Booster Burner, and the By-
Pass Flame adjustment for the Main Burner are all done at the factory. These adjustments are
sealed before the oven leaves the factory. Contact an authorized Service Agency if you need help.
