LEAK TESTING

General

Although the gas connections of the appliance are leak tested prior packing and shipment, a complete test must be performed at the installation site.

Before each use, check all the gas connections for leaks using the procedure listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately stop using, shut off the gas from the cylinder, re-tighten any connections and check the entire system for leaks.

Before testing

Make sure all packing material has been removed from the appliance.

Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush or rag to apply the solution to the fittings.

To test

1. Turn the burner valve OFF.
2. Turn the liquid propane cylinder valve on counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles would appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply OFF and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back ON and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply OFF and contact customer service.

Care and maintenance

Store Ooni Koda out of direct sunlight and indoors where possible and when storing for extended periods of time. Ooni Koda should not be exposed to harsh weather conditions such as snow, heavy rain and strong winds. Wait for Ooni Koda to cool completely before moving and cleaning. We recommend cleaning after each use to extend the life of the Ooni Koda as well as prevent accumulated grease from catching fire.

The outer shell of Ooni Koda may fade over time and through use. This will not affect performance.

Stone baking board

1. DO NOT use the stone over an open flame.
2. Avoid extreme temperature change to the stone. DO NOT place frozen foods on a hot stone.
3. The stone is fragile and can break if bumped or dropped.
4. The stone is very hot during use and stays hot for a long time after use.
5. DO NOT cool the stone with water when the stone is hot.
6. After cleaning the stone with water, please dry the stone before use. This can be done in a conventional oven at 60°C (140°F) for 2 hours.
7. Burnt on food can be cleaned by flipping the stone where it will clean itself due to the high oven temperatures.

Oven Interior

Wipe down with a paper towel between uses to remove any debris.

Other areas of oven
