Setup

Before operating your Gozney Arc Pizza Oven, ensure proper setup for safety and optimal performance.

1. Unpacking and Inspection

• Carefully remove all packaging materials.
• Inspect the oven for any signs of damage during transit. Contact Gozney support immediately if any damage is found.
• Ensure all components are present: Gozney Arc Oven unit, removable stone floor, gas hose and regulator (if included with your model).

2. Placement

• Place the oven on a stable, non-combustible surface outdoors.
• Ensure adequate clearance from combustible materials (walls, fences, trees) as specified in the safety guidelines (refer to separate safety manual if provided).
• The oven must be used in a well-ventilated area.

3. Gas Connection

• Connect the gas hose to the oven's gas inlet and to your propane tank. Ensure all connections are tight.
• Perform a leak test using soapy water on all gas connections before first use and after any tank changes. Bubbles indicate a leak.
• Do not use the oven if a gas leak is detected.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal performance and delicious results with your Gozney Arc.

1. Preheating the Oven

1. Open the valve on your propane tank.
2. Turn the control knob on the Gozney Arc to the maximum setting. The igniter will click, and the burner should light.
3. Allow the oven to preheat for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature gauge reaches 950°F (500°C). The stone floor will also absorb heat during this time.

2. Cooking Pizza

• Once the oven is fully preheated, launch your 14-inch pizza onto the stone using a pizza peel.
• The Gozney Arc is designed to cook pizzas rapidly, often in 60 seconds or less.
• Rotate the pizza periodically (every 15-20 seconds) using a turning peel to ensure even cooking and a perfectly leopard-spotted crust.
• Monitor the pizza closely as cooking times can vary based on dough, toppings, and ambient temperature.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and continued performance of your Gozney Arc Pizza Oven.

1. Cleaning

• Oven Exterior: Allow the oven to cool completely. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Stone Floor: The high temperatures inside the oven will naturally clean the stone by burning off food residue. If necessary, gently scrape off any large debris with a metal scraper once the oven is cool. Do not use water or soap on the stone.
• Burner: Periodically inspect the burner ports for blockages. Use a soft brush to remove any debris.

2. Storage

• When not in use, especially during extended periods or adverse weather, store the oven in a dry, protected area.
• Consider using a Gozney-approved cover to protect the oven from elements.
• Disconnect the gas tank when storing the oven.
