1. IS YOUR ALFRESCO CONSIDERED TO BE ENCLOSED OR OUTDOORS?
GUIDELINES FOR INDOOR GAS OVEN INSTALLATIONS
WARNING: Wood Fired Pizza Ovens must not be installed underneath an exhaust canopy.
They must be separately flued according to Indoor Wood Heater regulations.
Is your alfresco area is deemed to be more than 50 % enclosed and are you considering installing a gas fired
pizza oven? You may need to install an exhaust hood to comply with the local gas laws in your state.
Each state of Australia has its own governing agency that oversees gas safety. For example, Victoria’s
governing agency is Energy Safety Victoria (ESV). They set legal standards related to the use of gas appliances
indoors, outdoors and in semi-enclosed spaces such as alfresco areas. These legal standards must be adhered
to in your relevant state of Australia before connecting and using a gas pizza oven or barbeque. Using gas
appliances in an enclosed space can be deadly if the gas appliances are not designed and approved for indoor
use. It is vital that you understand if your Alfresco area is classified as enclosed (indoor) or outdoors.
One significant change which now is in place for Homeowners, Builders, Landscapers and Plumbers is that a
gas pizza oven or barbecue installation needs to be approved for indoor use and installed with an interlock to
the gas supply so that the installed extraction system must be in operation before gas will flow to the
appliance. If you purchased your pizza oven from Fornieri – Wood Fired Ovens in Australia, we have the
correct certification on our gas pizza ovens, and you must comply with these instructions and AS/NZS 5601.
As a guide, Energy Safety VICTORIA’s requirements for enclosed/indoor alfresco areas are as follows:
 Pizza Ovens and BBQ’s must have flame failure devices fitted to every burner and be
approved/certified for indoor use (Please be aware that not all appliances with a flame failure device
are approved/certified for indoor use),
 Pizza Ovens and BBQ’s must have a commercial grade exhaust hood that moves a minimum of 2000
cubic metres of air per hour, and this requires the appliance to have an interlock installed, so that the
extraction fan is operating before gas will flow to the appliance.
 Pizza Ovens and BBQ’s must be installed on a non-combustible surface.
Your alfresco is NOT considered enclosed and classified as OUTDOOR when in an above ground open-air
situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion
are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection, and:
 The area has walls on all sides but at least one permanent opening at ground level and no overhead
cover,
 The area has a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two walls,
 The area is partially enclosed including an overhead cover and three or more walls with at least 25%
of the total wall area completely open AND at least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and
unrestricted, or
 Balconies must have at least 20% of the total wall area open and unrestricted.
If your alfresco area has been classified as ENCLOSED, you must have a suitable exhaust hood fitted above
your Pizza Oven/BBQ that shifts a minimum of 2000 cubic metres of air per hour with a gas interlock
arrangement. Before using your pizza oven, contact your electrician and/or plumber/gasfitter for further
instructions and installation requirements.
Refer to the Figure 1. ‘NATURAL VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS’ to determine if your alfresco area is classified
as outdoor or enclosed (indoor).
Refer to Figure 2. for a typical interlock arrangement.

NEW INTERLOCK REQUIREMENTS FOR ENCLOSED GAS FIRED PIZZA OVENS
The standard for commercial and residential gas installations in Australia AS/ NZS 5601.1.2013 was amended in
May of 2016 with many new requirements. One significant change that which will affect the installation of gas
fired pizza ovens and gas barbecues is a new clause 6.10.1.15. This clause requires that an appliance approved
for indoor/commercial use and installed in residential premises, be fitted with an interlock to the gas supply
so that the installed extraction system must be in operation before gas will flow to the appliance.
In Australia many Alfresco areas are being enclosed or semi enclosed meaning that appliances approved for
outdoor use can no longer be fitted in the area. Energy Safe will accept appliances approved for indoor or
commercial use provided that certain conditions are met. This information sheet can be used as a guide,
https://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/atoms/files/dp100205_safe_locations_for_using_gas_b
arbecues_april_2018.pdf
In general terms the main conditions are,
 The appliance is approved for indoor/commercial use by an Independent Type A gas appliance
Inspector or an approved Certifying Body.
 A flame failure system is fitted
 The appliance is installed under a compliant extraction system/range hood
 The extraction system/range hood is interlocked to the gas supply

A TYPICAL INTERLOCK ARRANGEMENT
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT EXHAUST HOODS
Q. Do I have to install an exhaust hood above my pizza oven or barbecue?
If your alfresco area is classed as enclosed (i.e. more than 50% enclosed) then you must install an exhaust
hood above your gas fired pizza oven or barbecue which complies with Energy Safety laws. Even if your
alfresco is not classed as enclosed, many clients choose to install an exhaust hood to extract fumes and to
protect their ceiling.
Q. What are the Energy Safety laws that apply to alfresco areas?
In a nutshell, if your alfresco area is classed as “enclosed” you must comply with the following:
 Your gas fired pizza oven or barbeque must have flame failure devices fitted to every burner and be
licensed for indoor use (be aware that there are some gas fired pizza ovens and barbecue’s on the
market that have flame failure devices fitted but they are NOT certified for indoor use).
 Your gas fired pizza oven or barbeque must have a commercial grade exhaust hood that moves a
minimum of 2000 cubic metres of air per hour.
 Your gas fired pizza oven or barbecue must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions with regards to clearances and combustible surfaces etc.
Q. What size exhaust hood do I need to install?
For sufficient ventilation, you need to install an exhaust hood that is as wide or wider than your gas fired pizza
oven or barbecue. For example, if your barbecue is 900mm, then you require an exhaust hood that is 900mm
wide or greater. In the case of a gas fired pizza oven, you must ensure that your pizza oven flue terminates
directly below your exhaust hood. In any case, you must ensure all the flue gases are being extracted by the
exhaust fan. Confirm this with the exhaust hood supplier and installer.
This customer required an 1800mm exhaust hood to cover both the barbeque and pizza oven.

5 | P a g e R e v i s i o n 1 . 1
S e p t e m b e r 2 0 2 1
Q. What height does my exhaust hood need to be?
Energy Safety Regulations specify the height at which an exhaust hood must be installed when over a barbecue
but not for a gas fired pizza oven. Please follow the same guidelines for your gas fired pizza oven (width of the
oven opening as a minimum) but with regards to your flue pipe, your gas pizza oven flue pipe exhaust cap
must terminate directly below the exhaust hood with a minimum clearance of 200mm below the exhaust
hood. If your pizza oven or barbecue has an open grill, the exhaust hood must be installed at least 1200mm
above the height of the gas burner due to fat fires. If you have a dual fuel pizza oven, you must not use wood
as a fuel if your oven is installed underneath an exhaust canopy. This is so that the flames cannot be sucked
up into the exhaust hood and cause a fire. If you do not have sufficient height in your alfresco area, you will
need a custom-made exhaust hood that satisfies the height requirements. Contact the exhaust manufacturer
for more information and detail to ensure the installation is safe.
Q. Does my exhaust hood need to be flued through the roof, or can it be flued through a back wall?
You can have your exhaust hood flued through the ceiling or through the back wall. Please follow the
manufacturers guidelines on how to install an exhaust hood.
Q. In an enclosed area, can I extend the Flue of a gas fired pizza oven separately through the roof, or can it
be flued through a back wall without using the gas interlock exhaust system?
NO. The Alfa gas fired pizza oven can only be installed with the flue and cap (cowl) that was supplied with the
oven. The terminal cap supplied has been approved for indoor use under an exhaust canopy as described in
this section. It has not been approved for separate flueing through a roof.
CAUTION. NEVER USE WOOD AS A FUEL IF YOUR OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH AN EXHAUST CANOPY.

If you need to contact the manufacturer for information, technical support or to order spare parts please have
this information at hand.
SAFETY COMPLIANCE LABEL: While there is a requirement under the regulations for all gas products to be
safe, the Australian and New Zealand regulatory environment establishes the limits of fundamental safety. The
safety compliance label confirms that this pizza oven has been certified as compliant and deemed suitable for
importing and operation in Australia.
COOKING SURFACE: This pizza oven has been tested and certified with the floor tiles that it came with.
Changing the floor tiles will void this certification and cause a safety issue. DO NOT change the pizza oven’s
original configuration of cooking surfaces.
IN CASE OF A FIRE: If the fire is at the pizza oven, turn the gas off at the cylinder. Smother the flames with a
wet cloth, fire blanket or extinguish using a fire extinguisher. If you cannot safely reach the valve to turn off
because the fire is at the cylinder, contact the fire brigade immediately. Cool the gas cylinder by directing
water from the garden hose to its centre. If gas is burning try to not extinguish it, having the gas burn off is
better than letting the pressure build up and potentially lead to an explosion.
PREVENTING FAT FIRES: Your pizza oven whilst in use may collect fat and grease. Make sure that excessive
amounts of grease or food DO NOT build up on the floor tiles and walls of the oven to reduce the risk of fat
fires occurring. If your pizza oven is not maintained regularly, this build up can lead to a potential fire. Please
refer to the Alfa Forni online ‘User Manual’ for your pizza oven for further information on how to clean and
maintain and reduce the risk of a fire occurring. If you have any questions, please call Fornieri – Wood Fired
Ovens or email the Alfa Forni support team for further details.
VENTILATION: When locating your pizza oven it is important to ensure there is adequate ventilation for both
the pizza oven and cylinder. This is required not only for proper combustion, but also to prevent gas build up. A
minimum 20cm ventilation and air-intake gaps are to be left at rear and side of the pizza oven and 1 meter
from any combustible material. Refer to the Alfa User Manual for more information.
