oven oor, not wet.
- Sweep and clean the chimney and ue every year to ensure it is clean and operates eectively and that soot
and ash or animals do not fall back into the oven.
- If you happen to spill any juices or sauces during cooking don’t worry. Hot temperatures will burn o any resi-
dual drippings or food that might have fallen o your food.
- DO NOT use chemical products to clean any part of the oven.
- DO NOT clean the oven when it is in use.
- DO NOT pass humid cloth on the oven oor if it is still hot: it can cause cracks.
TO SANITIZE THE OVEN BEFORE COOKING, CLEAN AND HEAT THE OVEN FLOOR BY SCATTERING RED HOT
EMBERS ACROSS THE OVEN FLOOR AND LEAVING THEM IN THIS POSITION FOR A FEW MINUTES.
COOKING
NOTE: Cooking times shown in the graph are to be considered indicative.
* After the last use, with the door closed, the temperature can be maintained up to 12-15 hours. In this way, in the
day after, is possible to continue to cook bread, cakes, baked pasta, roast potatos etc.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE OVEN BEGINS TO SMOKE
- Make sure the wood is not humid and therefore incombustible.
- Ensure that the re was made with a gradually increasing constant live ame, in order to avoid incomplete
combustion.
- We suggest to put the oven door near the oven mouth.
- Double check the dimensions of the ue exit and ensure there is a proper ventilation shaft for the smoke to exit
from.
IF THE OVEN DOES NOT HEAT PROPERLY
- Check that the re is placed on the side of the oven away from the oven mouth.
- Make a re with approximately 40-50 minutes of blazing ame.
- Do not use incombustible wood.
ALFA PIZZA OVENS ARE GUARANTEED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITALIAN AND EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
LAWS.
WARRANTY
Alfa Pizza wood red ovens have a warranty period of 2 (two) years from date of purchase. Good maintenance and
a correct use can help to decrease the presence of future problems.
WARRANTY EXCEPTIONS
Warranty on Alfa products is considered void in the following circumstances:
1. The oven was NOT installed properly or NOT used properly.
2. The oven was damaged or tampered with in any way, both voluntarily and/or involuntarily.
3. The oven, for whatever reasons, was physically altered in any way and is no longer in the same condition it
was in when it left the factory.
4. Combustible material other than wood was used to light res in the oven.
5. Damage to the oven results from the use of chemical products inside or outside of the oven.
6. If appropriate precautions have not been taken during res.
7. Any micro-veins that may occur after oven use. Micro-veins are necessary for thermic dilation and are intrinsi
characteristics of the refractory material.
8. The warranty, unless otherwise specied, refers only to a household use.
9. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear of the product.
NOTE
ALFA PIZZA DOES NOT REPLY TO QUESTIONS REGARDING MICRO-VEINS, CRACKS, OR BREAKS IN THE
REFRACTORY, BECAUSE THESE ARE INTRINSIC CHARATERISTICS OF THE REFRACTORY MATERIAL ITSELF.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
- Add additional wood to the re gradually.
- If the temperature of the external walls of the oven is higher than 40°C / 104°F, it is likely that the insulation of
the oven is insucient and needs to be improved.
-
IF THE OVEN COOLS DOWN TOO QUICKLY
- The cause could be either from the rst starting or starting the oven after a long period of inactivity.
- Verify the external insulation of the oven. It should be warm but not exceedingly hot.
- Avoid making a small or fast re that would not heat the oven to capacity.
- Verify that water and/or humidity have not inltrated the oven.
IF THE REFRACTORY MATERIALS DEVELOP MICRO-VEINS
- It is natural for refractory to develop small micro-veins after continuous use. These micro-veins are a characte-
ristic of refractory materials and are necessary for the thermal expansion of the oven, and they function as
normal junctures would.
IF FLAMES COME OUT OF THE OVEN MOUTH
- Avoid making excessively large res and dim any re that comes out of the oven mouth by putting the oven
door near the oven mouth leaving it open at around 2- 3 cm (0,78-1,18 In).
IF THE OVEN DOES NOT COOK AS DESIRED
- Check that the oven has reached the right temperature.
- Make sure the oven keeps the desired temperature for the entire cooking time.
