Use and Care Manual

PIZZA OVEN BASIC USAGE MANUAL 2020 (PG3)
• DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN PLAY NEAR THE PIZZA OVEN WHEN IT IS IN
USE AND FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS AFTER USE. The clay gets very hot and
should not be touched till it is completely cooled down. KEEP ALL
CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COOKING AREA!
• DO NOT leave the pizza oven unattended after you start your fire!
• DO NOT cover the chimney ventilation flume with anything! The
small chimney provides ventilation which works with the air flow and
circulation within the oven to provide a more consistent heat.
It isvery important to remember that pizza ovens get very hot and should be
treated with the utmost respect and care.
It is importantto remember that once you have finished usingyour pizza
oven, itwill remainvery hot for some time after. Do not try and move it for at
least 48 hours after use and do not cover it with anything until it is fully
cooled down.
DO USE the correct tools for your safety & comfort, including oven mitts,
pizza peel (we recommend one which is metal – stainless steel), ember rake,
and long tongs or spatula. We recommend using long handled utensils.
The size of pizza peel to use is determined by the size of pizza and the width
of the mouth (opening) of the pizza oven. The peel should easily fit through
the oven opening. Using a round or rectangular shape is up your decision.
