hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
Failure to comply with the precautions
and instructions provided with this
pizza oven can result in death, serious
bodily injury and property loss or
damage from hazards of fire, explosion,
burn, asphyxiation, and/or carbon
monoxide poisoning. Only persons
who can understand and follow the
instructions should use or service
this pizza oven.
DANGER
Certain materials or items, when stored under the
pizza oven, will be subjected to radiant heat and could
be seriously damaged.

More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It
is imperative that the control compartment, burners,
and circulating air passageway of the appliance be kept
clean.
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Keep solid combustibles, such as
building materials, paper or cardboard,
a safe distance away from the pizza oven
as recommended by the instructions.
•Provide adequate clearances around air
openings into the combustion chamber.
• Never use the pizza oven in spaces
which do or may contain volatile or
airborne combustibles, or products such
as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust
particles or unknown chemicals
• During operation, this product can
be a source of ignition. Keep pizza oven

• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane
gas is invisible, odourless, and flammable. An
odourant is normally added to help detect leaks
and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The
odourant can fade over time so leaking gas is not
always detectable by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking
propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It
can ignite by ignition sources including matches,
lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many
feet away from the original leak. Use only propane
gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance with
local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58.

PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:
WARNING:
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on the cooking surfaces prior to
pizza oven as loose bristles may a�ach to food.
CLEANING INTERIOR OF PIZZA OVEN:
We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately a�er cooking by gently scrubbing grates with wire bristle brush
and then turning burners to HI for approximately 5minutes.
WARNING:
DO NOT leave pizza oven una�ended when pizza oven is on. Wear oven mi�s to protect from burns.
The heat from the burners will burn off most food/grease residue from grates and heat tents and turn it to an ash like
substance which will fall to the bo�om of the firebox or grease tray. A�er the pizza oven cools (approximately 30 minutes)
remove grates and heat tents and brush the ash and any grease out of the firebox. Clean and replace grease cup. Inspect the
heat tents for damage or deteriora�on before reinstalling in the pizza oven.
Wash the grates and heat tents with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.
CAUTION:
DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on the grease cup or firebox as it could block proper grease drainage of the pizza oven.
INTERIOR OF PIZZA OVEN DOOR:
Smoke will accumulate inside pizza oven door and may flake onto your food. Clean the inside of the pizza oven door
with scrub brush and baking soda/water solu�on. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas pizza oven
door is not painted.
MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF PIZZA OVEN:
To protect your pizza oven from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all �mes when not in use.
Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your pizza oven’s appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a so� cloth a�er each use. Baked
on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plas�c cleaning pad.
Use only in the direc�on of the brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics. Car wax may
help protect the exterior finish of your pizza oven.
Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass like composi�on, most residues can be wiped away with a solu�on of baking soda
and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non
abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for stubborn stains.
Plas�c and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers
or a concentrated pizza oven cleaner on plas�c parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
RUST:
Discolora�on, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades, grease fires and
exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.
Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil
spray to minimize rus�ng,.
Never use cleaners containing chlorine as chlorine promotes rust.

OPERATING THE PIZZA OVEN:
WARNING
BREAKING IN YOUR PIZZA OVEN:
In manufacturing and preserving the components of your pizza oven, oil residue may be present on the burners and cooing
surfaces of your pizza oven.
B
efore cooking on your pizza oven for the first �me you should preheat it for15 minutes on ‘HI’ to burn off these residual oils.
PREHEATING THE PIZZA OVEN:
Prior to each use, it is recommended that you preheat your pizza oven. This ensures that the baking surfaces are at the
desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. A�er ligh�ng your pizza oven, set the main burner control knob to
‘HI’ posi�on for 5 to 10 minutes. Close the lid when prehea�ng.
CONTROLLING FLARE
UPS/GREASE FIRES:
Flare ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas pizza oven. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas pizza oven. Use
cau�on when opening the door as sudden flare
ups may occur. Excessive flare ups can over cook your food and cause a
dangerous situa�on for you and your pizza oven. Excessive flare
ups result from the build up of grease in your pizza oven. If
this should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to spla�er and could result in serious burns
or bodily harm.
If grease fire occurs while door is open, leave door open, turn burner knobs to ‘OFF’, turn off LP cylinder valve. If possible,
relocate food to a different sec�on and allow grease to burn out or smother the flames with baking soda.
If grease fire occurs while door is closed, leave door closed, as a sudden burst of air may increase flames. Turn burner knobs
to ‘OFF’ , turn off LP cylinder valve. Allow grease to burn out.
Never pour water on a grease fire as grease may spla�er/spread and could result in bodily injury or property damage.
If grease fire does not quickly burn out or the fire is growing/spreading, use a type BC dry chemical fire ex�nguisher or
smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Closing the lid to ex�nguish a grease fire is not possible.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE
UPS:
Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low se�ngs or indirectly.
Ensure that your pizza oven on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the pizza oven through the drain hole in
the bo�om and into grease cup.
Clean pizza oven frequently to minimize grease buildup.
INDIRECT COOKING:
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under you food. You can sear
meats over a high flame on one side of the pizza oven while slow cooking a roast on the other (unlit) side of the pizza oven.
Read and follow all warnings and instruc�ons contained in the preceding sec�on of this manual.
Never use charcoal, lava rocks or wood brique�es in a gas pizza oven. Flavoring chips must be contained in a metal
smoking box to contain ash and prevent fires.
DO NOT cover cooking grates or other components with aluminum foil, as this blocks ven�la�on and damage to bake
or personal injury may occur.
DO NOT leave your pizza oven una�ended while ‘ON’ or in use.
DO NOT move pizza oven when in use.
DO NOT use water on a grease fire. Closing the door to ex�nguish a grease fire is impossible. Use type BC dry
chemical fire ex�nguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
