operation, the appearance of hairline cracks, visible during and after operation

1.5 Mezzo reinforcement fibres
On very rare occasions there is potential for fine metal fibres to protrude from the
oven base or dome. These fibres can simply be removed or trimmed. Please take
care and consideration when maneuvering the oven. We recommend that you
wear protective gloves.
1.6 Mezzo Oven maintenance
Great! A self-cleaning oven! The Mezzo 76 boasts very little cleaning and
maintenance. All spilled or stuck on food will be burnt off by the heat achieved
within the oven. Simply remove the ashes before the next firing in a safe way (see
section 3.5).

Ensure you regularly clean your Mezzo Oven flue, failure to do so may result in a
flue fire.
1.7 Building your Mezzo Oven in
If you have purchased the Mezzo 76 Kit oven, you will most probably be planning
on building your oven in. When we mention “building the oven in”, we mean
applying further insulation to the Mezzo Oven dome and base and building
an enclosure around it or rendering it. The benefits of building in a Mezzo Oven
include extending heat retention from 4+ hours to over 24+ hours, the oven will
be weatherproof and it also gives you the ability to finish your Mezzo Oven to
your own design, using wood, brick, metal, stone or other materials. If you have
purchased the Mezzo 76 Go oven and decide later that you wish to build your
oven in, you can purchase the insulation materials from our online shop.
