LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE PIZZA OVEN
When determining a suitable location for your Pizza Oven, please consider things such as exposure to
wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas supply lines as short as possible.
Locate the Pizza Oven only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the Pizza Oven in a building, garage,
breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. Never locate
the Pizza Oven over, under, or next to unprotected combustible construction. During heavy use, and
depending on what you are cooking, the appliance can produce a lot of heat and smoke.
Using the Pizza Oven in windy areas can disrupt the pilot flame or the main burner, causing it to go
out. Relocate to a less windy area. If the Pizza Oven is mounted in an enclosure, you may need to
build a wind-break to avoid this issue in the future.
When installing a Pizza Oven or other gas appliance into/onto an enclosure, the enclosure must be
constructed with ventilation openings to avoid accumulation of gas beneath should there be a leak.
See the INSTALLATION section of this manual for details. Keep the area underneath the Pizza Oven
free of debris.
Ensure all packaging, straps, etc. have been removed from the Pizza Oven.
The LP gas cylinder must be:
1. Constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339, as applicable; and
2. Provided with a listed Overfilling Prevention Device.
3. Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances. The cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an LP gas supply
cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard for
compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connections ANSI/CGA-V-I.
Certain liquid propane dealers may fill LP cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity.
This “overfilling” may create a dangerous condition due to a build-up of excess pressure. As a safety
device, there is a pressure relief valve which will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure.
This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the
following safety precautions:
1. When you have your cylinder filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 80% of its
total capacity.
2. If you own or use a spare cylinder, you should NEVER store it near or under the appliance unit or
burner box, or near any other ignition or heat source (like a water heater or furnace).
IF THE INFORMATION IN 1 AND 2 ABOVE IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.
3. The LP cylinder must be disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area, out of the
reach of children.
4. Do not store a full cylinder in direct sunlight.
