6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Fueling and Preheating

1. Add Wood: Place appropriate wood fuel (hardwood is recommended) into the lower firebox chamber.
2. Ignite: Carefully ignite the wood.
3. Preheat: Allow the oven to preheat for 3-5 minutes. The oven can reach temperatures up to 662°F (350°C).
4. Monitor Temperature: Use the dual thermometer located on the oven to monitor the internal temperature.

6.2. Temperature Control

The temperature and smoke can be adjusted by manipulating the shovel of the door and the chimney damper. Opening them increases airflow and temperature, while closing them reduces airflow and temperature.

6.3. Cooking

Once the desired temperature is reached, place your food (e.g., 11-12 inch pizza) onto the pizza stone using the provided pizza peel. Monitor cooking closely as wood-fired ovens cook quickly. Rotate food as needed for even cooking.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pizza oven.

• Ash Removal: After each use and once the oven has completely cooled, pull out the ash collector to remove ashes.
• Cleaning: Wipe down exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The pizza stone should be scraped clean, not washed with soap.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during adverse weather conditions, cover the oven with the provided waterproof oxford fabric cover. This cover is designed to be sun-proof, rain-proof, wind-proof, and snow-proof.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your pizza oven, consider the following common solutions:

• Low Temperature: Ensure adequate airflow by checking the chimney damper and door shovel positions. Use dry, seasoned wood.
• Excessive Smoke: Adjust airflow by opening the chimney damper or door shovel slightly. Ensure wood is dry and not smoldering.
• Uneven Cooking: Rotate your food more frequently. Ensure the pizza stone is fully preheated.
• Difficulty Moving: Check that wheels are clear of debris and moving freely. Ensure the handle is securely attached.

For persistent issues, please refer to the comprehensive user guide or contact customer support.
