7. If the Pizza Oven is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that they show you
where your gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is easily accessible
without tools. If you smell gas, check for leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water
solution. Never check gas leaks with an open flame. See the GAS CONNECTIONS section of this
manual.
8. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, and venturi / valve section carefully. Always turn off gas
at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.
9. When lighting the burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. If any burner does not
light, or goes out during operation, turn off the gas control knobs, and wait five (5) minutes before
attempting to re-light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
10. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, and orifices of the Pizza Oven, disrupting
the gas flow in the burner. This very dangerous condition can cause an abnormal burner function,
damaging the Pizza Oven and risking personal injury. If your Pizza Oven has been unused for a
long time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, and orifices. It is recommended you inspect your
Pizza Oven at least twice a year. See BURNER ADJUSTMENT section of this manual for details.
11. Keep the areas surrounding the Pizza Oven free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible
fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
gases (chimney) and ventilation airways (front door) during operation.
12. When in use, portions of the Pizza Oven are hot enough to cause severe burns.
13. Always have an “ABC” type fire extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire
with water or other liquids. Never spray water or other liquids on the ceramic deck inside the
oven. The deck could crack.
14. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while cooking with the Pizza Oven. They
could ignite. For personal safety, wear proper apparel while cooking. Some synthetic fabrics are
highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
15. Never let pot holders, covers, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to
any burner or hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result in
personal injury. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders
touch hot portions of the pizza oven, like the ceramic deck.
16. Never touch the ceramic deck or immediate surrounding metal surfaces, the oven cavity opening,
outer frame, etc. while cooking with the Pizza Oven. These areas become extremely hot and could
cause severe burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided for operation of the Pizza Oven.
17. Protect your hands with an insulated glove or mitt when operating the Pizza Oven. Always keep
your face away to allow heat, steam and smoke to escape. Never put any part of your body into
a hot Pizza Oven. Use the long-handle pizza peel provided to move items in and out of the Pizza
Oven.
18. The Pizza Oven front cover MUST be removed while lighting AND during operation. Leaving the
cover in place while lighting may result in an explosion and personal injury, or death. Never lean
into the Pizza Oven opening or look directly into the burner when attempting to light. Keep your
face as far away as possible. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
19. Do not heat unopened food containers (cans) as pressure build-up will cause the container to
explode.
20. Do not use aluminum foil to line the ceramic deck or any other part of the oven. This may alter the
airflow to the burner or trap excessive heat elsewhere, causing damage to wiring or igniters, and
increase the risk of personal injury. Such damage is specifically excluded from our warranty.
21. Grease is extremely flammable. If you do cook a greasy food item in the oven, such as finishing a
roast in an iron pan, keep it covered with an appropriate lid (not aluminum foil), and use caution
when removing the pan from the oven. Let the hot grease cool before attempting to handle or
dispose of it. Avoid grease deposits on the ceramic deck, as they are absorbed by the material and
