5. Operating Instructions

The Bartscher ROMA/II Heating Element operates as an integral part of your pizza oven. Its function is controlled by the oven's thermostat and control system. There are no direct user controls for the heating element itself.

• Refer to your Bartscher ROMA/II pizza oven's main instruction manual for detailed operating procedures, including temperature setting, preheating, and cooking guidelines.
• Ensure the oven door is properly closed during operation to maintain heat efficiency and prevent heat loss.
• Do not obstruct the heating element or place items directly on it.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your heating element and pizza oven.

• Cleaning: Always ensure the oven is switched off and completely cool before cleaning. Gently wipe the exterior of the heating element with a dry, soft cloth to remove any dust or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as this can damage the element.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the heating element for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or discoloration. Check the electrical connections for tightness and signs of overheating. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and contact a qualified technician for replacement.
• Professional Check: It is recommended to have your pizza oven and its components, including the heating element, inspected by a qualified service technician annually.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your pizza oven's heating, consider the following common troubleshooting steps. For complex issues, contact a qualified service technician.

• Oven Not Heating:
  • Check if the oven is properly plugged in and receiving power.
  • Verify the circuit breaker or fuse for the oven has not tripped.
  • Ensure the oven's thermostat is set correctly.
  • If the element is visibly damaged or not glowing when power is applied (and it should be), it may need replacement.
• Uneven Heating:
  • Ensure the oven is preheated sufficiently.
  • Check for any obstructions around the heating element.
  • A faulty thermostat or control board in the oven could also cause uneven heating.
• Burning Smell:
  • A new element may produce a slight burning smell initially as manufacturing residues burn off. This should dissipate quickly.
  • If the smell persists or is accompanied by smoke, immediately disconnect power and inspect for foreign objects or electrical issues.
