FLUE EXHAUST
IN THE GARDEN
When installing the ALFA Oven
in your outdoor cooking area
with the venting away from any
structures or low ceilings, the ALFA
supplied high quality stainless steel
pipe and cap are sucient and
no additional piping is necessary.
You can customize these systems
vertically to assist draw or to help
with your install design. ALFA do
not oer custom pipe or chimney.
Supplied single wall wood stove
ue pipe can always be upgraded to double wall chimney.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE
One of the most common questions for ALFA Oven owners revolves around
venting. Many owners nd the need to customize the basic vent pipe and cap
that comes supplied with your oven. We hope the following information will
help whether you’re looking to extend your supplied pipe, add a bend to your
supplied pipe or more complex projects that need converted to double wall
chimney as well as penetrating overhead objects and roong).
PROJECTS REVIEWED
• Outdoor installation with no overhead obstructions
• Outdoor installation with overhead obstructions
• Indoor installation–Vertical direct vent approved–MUST use UL103HT double
wall chimney
• Any customized installation beyond the supplied single wall pipe and cap,
ALFA highly recommends that you contact your planning, building and
zoning ocials to ensure all local building codes are followed along with
necessary permits, where needed.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE

DIRECT VENT, DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY ON THE TERRACE OR
UNDER A PERGOLA
• For indoor ALFA Oven venting installations, or outdoor settings where your
wood red oven will be under a roof structures, pergolas, or any type of
ceiling/roof.
• Double wall chimney can be installed up to 60 feet (18 meters) vertically
and must be a minimum of 3 feet (1 meter) above the roof or structure it is
penetrating.
• Do not install the oven under a roof or pergola. If you are penetrating
through an overhead object OR A ROOF you must remove supplied
single wall pipe and start WITH PIPE AND CHIMNEY MANUFACTURED BY
SPECIALIZED COMPANIES
If you plan to extend the chimney more
than 1 meter (39 inchs), we recommend
installing a buttery valve to regulate
the air ow.

WARNING: Major causes of vent related res is failure to maintain
required clearances (air spaces) to combustible materials.
Note: The outer walls of oven may reach high temperatures, more than 80°C
(176°F). Position the oven so it is not in contact with the wall or other furniture
and make sure there is a gap of at least, at least 8 inches (20cm).

OFFSET ELBOW INSTALLATION
• Avoid elbows if at all possible, as a vertical
pipe or chimney is the most ecient
• Pipe or chimney systems may have a
maximum of 2 osets (two elbows total) of
30-degrees from vertical
• Do not combine elbows to create steeper
angles and never exceed 2 elbows in one
pipe or chimney system
• For Example: You could have a 30-degree
bend with a 0-48” (0-122 cm) horizontal
pipe or chimney and then another
30-degree bend back to the vertical position
• Do not use with forced-draft, positive-
pressure appliances.
OFFSET ELBOW
WARNING: DO NOT USE (2) 30-DEGREE ELBOWS
TO CREATE A 60-DEGREE ANGLE!
THIS VOIDS ALL WARRANTIES AND PRESENTS A FIRE HAZZARD
WITHIN THE PIPE OR CHIMNEY SYSTEM.
If your installation requirement cannot meet the basic standards be sure
to consult a professional and obtain necessary permits in advance.

LIGHTING THE OVEN
ONLY FOR WOOD VERSION
1 - In the center of the oven or slightly to the right, build a small
stack of wood using small logs. To optimize ignition, you can use some
re-starting wads.
2 - Light the re. To make ignition more ecient, you can use an
electric or gas lighter.
3 - After lighting the re and achieving a lively ame, close the
door, leaving a few centimeters open to allow air circulation and
facilitate combustion. This helps keep the re alive and heats the oven
to the desired temperature more quickly.
4 - Slowly add larger wood logs to create a larger re. Do this for
about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your oven. Larger ovens
can take longer to heat up. Do not put too much wood in at one time
and replace the door as noted in section 3 to help keep the ame inside
the oven.
5 - After burning some of the wood and creating a hot bed of coals,
move them to the left side of the oven using the ALFA re mover.
The re should be positioned on the opposite side of the thermometer
to accurately measure the chamber temperature. If using the oven in
wood mode with the Hybrid Kit, the re must be placed on the refractory
surface on the side opposite the burner.
NEVER place the re above the burner.
6 - Clean the refractory cooking surface with the ALFA brush.
7 - Use a laser thermometer (not included) to check that the
cooking surface temperature is at the desired level.
The optimal temperature is around 370°- 430°C (700°- 800°F).
8 - When the refractory surface temperature is correct, you’re
ready to start baking your pizzas! Bake the pizzas without using the
door, but feel free to slightly open the oven’s mouth, leaving about 5 cm
for ventilation.
WARNING: follow the instructions before lighting the oven:
- Do not use ammable liquids or other fuels to ignite the oven.
- Ensure there are no ammable materials near the oven and
that the minimum safety distance is maintained.

The re should be positioned on the opposite side of the thermometer
to accurately measure the chamber temperature. If using the oven in
wood mode with the Hybrid Kit, the re must be placed on the refractory
surface on the side opposite the burner.
NEVER place the re above the burner.
6 - Clean the refractory cooking surface with the ALFA brush.
7 - Use a laser thermometer (not included) to check that the
cooking surface temperature is at the desired level.
The optimal temperature is around 370°- 430°C (700°- 800°F).
8 - When the refractory surface temperature is correct, you’re
ready to start baking your pizzas! Bake the pizzas without using the
door, but feel free to slightly open the oven’s mouth, leaving about 5 cm
for ventilation.
WARNING: follow the instructions before lighting the oven:
- Do not use ammable liquids or other fuels to ignite the oven.
- Ensure there are no ammable materials near the oven and
that the minimum safety distance is maintained.

the burner completely.
4 - Once the burner is fully ignited, you will see a large ame inside the oven.
Now you can release the ignition button, BUT you must KEEP the burner control knob
pressed for 10 seconds. This will ensure that the thermocouple is hot enough to keep
the burner on. The oven burner is now at maximum, and you can begin preheating the
oven.
5 - Release the burner control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the larger
ame symbol. The oven burner is now on high ame, and you can begin preheating
the oven.
Note: Wind can extinguish the ame if it is set too low.
6 - Reposition the oven door and allow the cooking surface to heat up, leaving a
gap of 4/5 cm so that air can enter the oven. Lack of air may cause the oven to go
out. Preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes to allow the refractory bricks to reach
the pizza cooking temperature. Use a laser thermometer to check the cooking surface
temperature. For a true Neapolitan pizza, the cooking surface should reach around
370°- 430°C (700°- 800°F).

Clean the combustion chamber.
Pyrolysis at 500°C (1,000°F). Alfa Forni ovens clean
themselves through pyrolysis (Pyro-fire Lysis-Separation).
This process uses very high heat to decompose organic
materials, carbonizing them into volatile compounds. To
activate the pyrolysis, it is recommended to maintain a
temperature of 500°C (1,000°F) for 2-3 minutes.
Clean the cooking surface. Once pyrolysis is complete,
wait for the oven to cool down before removing any
remaining residues from the surface using the brush. After
each use, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
Clean the exterior of the oven. Like all powder-coated
stainless steel products, these ovens are designed to
withstand various environmental conditions, including
salt air, as long as regular and effective maintenance
is ensured. To clean the stainless steel, use a soft cloth
soaked in a solution of water and soap or, alternatively,
baking soda and dish detergent. Gently scrub while the
oven is completely cold.
IMPORTANT: Always check the certification of the product
you are using and ensure that the components are those
specified.
WARNING: Steels exposed to high temperatures and direct
flames tend to change color on the surface. This is an
inherent characteristic of the material.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the stainless steel parts.
Alfa Forni ovens are made with stainless steel both inside
and outside. To clean these parts, we recommend using a
stainless steel cleaner. It is also advisable to carefully read
the warnings and instructions on the detergent packaging.
Do not use detergents containing acids, turpentine, or
xylene. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning the oven.
Protect the stainless steel. To best protect the stainless
steel parts, it is recommended to use petroleum jelly or other
neutral cleaning solutions (pH 7) that do not contain acids,
mineral spirits, or xylene. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth for
application.
In the case of installation in coastal areas, to prevent
corrosion and buildup, it is advised to clean the oven
frequently with fresh water.
Protection from Oxidation. Stainless steel is resistant
to oxidation, but occasionally, due to humidity, salt, etc.,
rust spots may appear on the surface. In this case, use a
rust remover product to restore the oven to its original
condition.
Gas Burner Cleaning. The gas burner should be cleaned
periodically. We recommend thorough cleaning after
using the Hybrid kit or intensive use, by vacuuming
cooking residues with a soft brush, possibly removing the
burner from the oven. After a long period of non-use, for
a more thorough cleaning of all components, it is advised
to remove the burner from the oven. For instructions on
disassembling the burner, refer to the dedicated pages.
Do not attempt to remove carbonized residues using
inappropriate products or tools that could damage parts of
the burner.
Cleaning of the Nozzles. The nozzles should be cleaned at
least once a year to prevent clogging, which can restrict the
gas flow. This requires disassembling the burner. If in doubt,
contact specialized personnel.

GASBETON OR
FRACTURED
REFRACTORY BRICK
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Refractory bricks may break, but this does not affect the oven’s
performance or cause issues during cooking in your ALFA oven.
- The insulating gasbeton brick is inherently fragile and is often
broken by large pieces when being inserted into the oven’s opening
to position it beneath the refractory brick during assembly. This is
completely normal.
- If you find a cavity in one of your bricks, you can simply turn it
around and use the other side, or replace it. All ovens come with an
additional refractory brick in case one needs to be replaced.
- If you believe one of the bricks is too damaged for use, please contact
customer service.
THE OVEN SMOKES
- Check that the wood is not excessively damp and that there are no
unburnt embers.
- Ensure that a fire with a steady, gradual flame has been started to
avoid incomplete combustion.
- In case of indoor installation, verify that the flue is not clogged, that
the pipe is not constricted (with an angle greater than 45°), and
check the operation of the air vents inside the room.
- It is recommended to slightly close the door.
THE OVEN DOES
NOT HEAT
- Make sure the fire is started on one side of the oven, not near the
mouth.
- Build a fire for 20 minutes with a steady flame.
- Do not pile the wood on top of the embers.
- Gradually add wood to the fire.
