Setup

1. Unpack the Oven: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the oven for any damage.
2. Placement: Place the oven on a stable, non-combustible surface outdoors, away from any flammable materials. Ensure there is adequate clearance from walls and other objects. The oven is equipped with 4 feet with rubber pads for stable placement.
3. Insert Pizza Stone: Slide the cordierite pizza stone into the oven chamber. Ensure it is seated correctly and level.
4. Connect Gas Supply:
   • Ensure the gas control knob on the oven is in the "OFF" position.
   • Connect the gas hose (not included) to the oven's gas inlet (1/4" thread) and to a suitable gas regulator (30 mbar, suitable for DK, SE, NO, UK, FR regions).
   • Connect the regulator to your gas cylinder.
   • Tighten all connections securely.
5. Leak Test:
   • Prepare a soapy water solution (50% soap, 50% water).
   • Open the gas supply valve on the cylinder.
   • Apply the soapy solution to all gas connections.
   • If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Immediately close the gas supply, tighten the connection, and re-test. Do not use the oven if a leak persists.

Operating Instructions

1. Ignition:
   • Ensure the gas cylinder valve is open.
   • Push in and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the "High" position.
   • The automatic ignition will spark and light the burner. You should hear a 'click' and see the flame.
   • If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the ignition process.
2. Preheating:
   • Once ignited, set the control knob to the desired temperature. For optimal pizza cooking, preheat the oven on high for approximately 15-20 minutes.
   • The integrated thermometer on the front will indicate the internal temperature.
3. Cooking Pizza:
   • Carefully place your pizza onto a pizza peel.
   • Slide the pizza into the preheated oven, directly onto the cordierite stone.
   • Close the oven door (if using) to maintain heat.
   • Rotate the pizza frequently (every 20-30 seconds) using the pizza peel to ensure even cooking.
   • Pizzas typically cook in about 2 minutes, depending on thickness and desired crispness.
   • Remove the cooked pizza with the peel.
4. Shutting Down:
   • Turn the control knob clockwise to the "OFF" position.
   • Close the gas supply valve on the cylinder.
   • Allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning or moving.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Pizza Stone: Allow the stone to cool completely. Scrape off any burnt food residue with a stiff brush or spatula. Do not use soap or water on the stone, as it is porous and will absorb liquids, potentially causing it to crack.
• Cleaning the Oven Exterior: Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent once the oven has cooled. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Burner Maintenance: Periodically inspect the burner for any blockages (e.g., spider webs, food debris). Clean with a soft brush if necessary.
• Storage: When not in use, store the oven in a dry, protected area. If storing outdoors, use a weather-resistant cover. Disconnect the gas cylinder and store it in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
