Setup

Unpacking and Assembly:

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Ensure all parts are present: Pizza Oven, Pizza Stone, Gas Hose, and Regulator.
3. Unfold the oven legs and ensure they are securely locked into place.
4. Insert the pizza stone into the oven. Ensure it is seated correctly and flat.

Gas Connection:

1. Connect the gas hose to the oven's gas inlet. Tighten securely.
2. Connect the regulator end of the hose to your propane gas tank.
3. Ensure all connections are tight before opening the gas supply.
4. Perform a leak test using a soapy water solution on all connections. Bubbles indicate a leak. Do not operate if a leak is detected.

Placement:

Place the Ooni Koda 2 Pro on a stable, non-combustible surface outdoors. Maintain adequate clearance from combustible materials (walls, fences, etc.) as specified in local regulations and the safety instructions.

Operating Instructions

Ignition:

1. Ensure the gas tank valve is fully open.
2. Turn the control knob on the oven to the ignition position (usually indicated by a spark symbol or 'MAX').
3. Press and hold the control knob while listening for the igniter click and observing the flame.
4. Once ignited, continue to hold the knob for a few seconds before releasing. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the process.

Preheating:

Allow the oven to preheat for at least 15-20 minutes on maximum setting to ensure the pizza stone reaches optimal temperature (typically 400-500 °C for pizza). The Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub can assist in monitoring the stone temperature.

Cooking:

• Pizzas: Launch your pizza onto the hot stone using a pizza peel. Rotate the pizza every 20-30 seconds for even cooking. Cooking times vary but are typically 60-90 seconds for Neapolitan-style pizza.
• Other Dishes: For items like steaks or roasted chicken, use appropriate cast iron or oven-safe pans. Adjust the flame setting to achieve desired cooking temperatures (160 °C to 500 °C). Utilize the Ooni Connect food probe for precise internal temperature monitoring.

Shutting Down:

1. Turn the control knob to the 'OFF' position.
2. Close the valve on the propane gas tank.
3. Allow the oven to cool completely before moving or cleaning.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Pizza Stone:

The pizza stone is designed to self-clean through pyrolytic action at high temperatures. After use, any burnt-on food residue will typically turn to ash. Once the oven is cool, simply brush off any loose ash. Do not use soap or water on the pizza stone.

Exterior Cleaning:

Wipe down the exterior of the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent when cool. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Storage:

Store the Ooni Koda 2 Pro in a dry, protected area when not in use, especially during prolonged periods of inactivity or adverse weather conditions. Consider using a protective cover.
