Care and maintenance
Store Koda 12 safely outside with the Ooni Koda 12 Carry Cover. This waterproof cover will keep
your oven safe from the elements – but in cases of extreme weather, we recommend bringing
your oven inside. Make sure you give your oven the proper time to cool completely before
attempting to cover, move or store. If you are located near the ocean or a body of salt water,
protect Koda 12 by storing indoors when not in use.
Cleaning the inside of Koda 12 is easy: Simply run at top temperatures for 30 minutes to burn off
excess food. Once cool, the inside can be wiped down with dry paper towels or an Ooni Pizza
Oven Brush.
The outer shell of Koda 12 can be wiped down with a damp cloth and dried immediately. Avoid
abrasive cleaning products or those with harsh chemicals.
Recommended cleaning routine:
• Wipe down the inner shell with a dry paper towel before every cook
• Wipe down the burner tube every 3 months with a wire brush to remove food debris
Use the Ooni Pizza Brush to remove any leftover flour or
ingredients. For stubborn marks, allow Koda 12 to cool
completely before flipping the stone baking board – the high
temperatures inside Koda 12 will naturally clean the underside.
Always wait for the stone to completely cool before handling.

Troubleshooting
Review the lighting steps on
page 13
. A necessary step is pushing in and turning the gas control
from the off position very slowly. This lets the gas flow into the oven body before the spark
ignites the flame. You should be able to hear the gas flowing before you reach 9 o’clock on the
dial which is where the oven sparks in to ignition. This can take a few attempts depending on how
long it has been since your last firing, ambient temperatures and conditions and your gas set up.
The following techniques will solve most issues:
• Disconnect your regulator from your propane tank for 5 minutes. This ‘resets’ your regulator
which may have had its safety tripped, preventing gas flow.
• Ensure that your gas tank is full and in an upright position.
• Clear any debris from the regulator and propane tank connections and reattach your
regulator.
• For twist-open gas bottles (US), very slowly open up the gas flow. A sudden surge of gas
flowing through the regulator can trip the inbuilt safety feature in the regulator.
• Before firing up Koda 12 using the control knob, check for leaks at all the connection points
and in the hose with a soapy water solution / leak detector spray.
