handy tips Some parts have a plastic film on them that protecs them during manufacture. Remove all of this protective film before any assembly or use. This will prevent it from getting trapped between parts during assembly. Failure to remove the plastic will result in it “Baking” on to the surface making it If you are having trouble removing the plastic film, warm the surface with a hair dryer. Do not use a scraper or knife as this will scratch the surface.
using the oven LOCATION: Place the oven on a flat, even, level suface away from any combustible materials. Ideally a stone or concrete surface is preferable. Consult local building and fire regulations regarding rcommended safe distancing from buildings, partitions and coverings such as pergolas and roofs. Additional parts may be required. Check for the wind direction to ensure the wind is not blowing directly into the oven. This will cause ash to blow around inside the oven and reduce temperature.
using the oven LIGHTING THE OVEN CONTINUED: 1. Place two large diameter pieces of firewood approximately 10 - 12 inches apart in the mouth of the oven pointing outward. 2. Place your tinder (i.e. wadded newspaper) between the two logs. 3. Lay a level of kindling from side to side so that it bridges the gap between the two logs on the bottom and is suspended above the newspaper tinder. There should be about 1/2” between each piece of kindling. 4.
firewood + temperature TYPES OF WOOD MATTER Hardwood comes from deciduous trees that lose their leaves in winter. These include oak, walnut, maple, beech, ash, hickory and many more varieties. The most important requirement is to use hardwood which is dry and well seasoned. If the wood is wet or green, it will be harder to light, produce more smoke and will not generate as much heat while burning. If you hear a “hissing” sound while burning, it is an indicator that the wood is still green.
temperature cont. Cooking times can also vary based on the size of and type dishes being prepared. Generally, cooking in a wood-fired oven is done by cooking the the foods that require the highest temperature and have the shortest cooking times first such as pizza. As the oven cools, other foods would follow such as grilled meats, then roasted vegetables, fish and finally breads or desserts. OPEN DOOR COOKING Open door cooking is the most common method where an active flame is present.
more cooking The XOPIZZA4 pizza/hearth oven was designed and built in Italy to cook the perfect, Italian wood-fired pizza in beautiful homes like yours. The ceramic refractory hearth stone floor of the oven can reach temperatures of 750 F in as little as 15 to 20 minutes, allowing you to create authentic pizza cooked to perfection.
a little tlc MAINTAINING YOUR XOPIZZA4 OVEN CLEANING THE EXTERIOR Clean the exterior of your oven with warm soapy water and a mild non-abrasive cleaner.

faqs QUESTION: Why does my oven produce a lot of smoke? Check to make certain the wood is not wet or green. If you hear a hissing noise while burning - that is an indicator that the wood is not dry. Do not burn softwood or birch with the bark on. Make certain that you have robust flames. Smoke is a product of incomplete combustion, builld up the fire with small dry wood and see if it clears. QUESTION: Why does the top of my pizza cook but not the crust? Pre-heat your oven longer.
