RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your Alfa Pizza oven.
POSITIONING THE OVEN
- Safety must be the rst priority: when the oven is in operation ensure that no other fuel is close to it.
- Make sure that the oven is positioned away from objects and materials that may be damaged by heat and
sparks.
LIGHTING
1. Make a small pile of wood in the centre of the oven with small pieces of dry wood.
2. When the wood is well-lit, add two larger logs and move the re to one side.
3. After a few minutes of continuous burning, never excessive, the temperature of 250°C/482°F will be reached,
burning to a dark soot. This is the moment the oven is ready to be used.
TURNING OFF
1. To turn the oven off, close the oven door and wait for ash to form.
2. When the oven has been completely turned off for 30 minutes you can remove the ashes.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF WOOD
- Use small sized wood pieces that are very dry, above all for lighting.
- Each wood type provides a fragrance to food in a different way, for example wood from fruit trees is used to
give food a more appetising aroma similarly, maple, walnut and chestnut go well for other foods like meat.
- Treated wood, resin or scrap wood are strictly excluded.
- Wet or damp wood can pop due to the increased volume of water. This will produce a lot of smoke and less
heat.
PYROMETER
- The pyrometer detects the temperature at a point inside the oven. The value detected by the pyrometer is
therefore indicative. With experience it will be easy to better assess when the oven is ready for various types of
cooking. You will acquire, therefore, complete control of the oven and you will become very adept at choosing
the cooking temperature.
OVEN DOOR
- The door is very effective at adjusting heat intensity: by
closing and opening it the temperature may be better
managed.
- If the re is too high and comes out from the oven
mouth, use the door to adjust the ame.

COOKING
- Always preheat the oven before cooking; heat for 10 minutes, or until the thermometer reaches 350-400°C /
660-750°F; once the temperature has been reached, wait a few minutes for it to stabilise to ensure that the
oven oor warms up properly.
- Calculate longer cooking time for cold or ventilated days or high altitudes. Calculate a shorter cooking time if
the external temperature is particularly high.
- Cooking times vary according to weather conditions or the amount, dimensions and shape of the food to be
cooked.
ADVICE FOR COOKING PIZZA
Wait for around 15 minutes after lighting the oven, with a quantity of wood that is not excessive to reach the opti-
mum temperature for cooking an excellent Neapolitan pizza (with an increased level of moisture):
- Air temperature of 400°C/750°F,
- Refractory oor temperature of 350°C/660°F.
Once the optimal temperature is reached, it is sufcient to add a few small sized wooden logs every 3-5 minutes
with a vivid ame. The oven will maintain a constant temperature and you can begin inserting the pizzas one after
another.
- Check that there is no build-up of grease, and, if present, remove to prevent the grease from catching re
- During cooking do not lean over the open oven and do not place hands or ngers on the front edge of the oven.
- During cooking the oven will have high temperatures, therefore, it should never be moved or left unattended.
MAINTENANCE
- For proper maintenance of the oven, make sure before you turn it on that the chimney ue is free from any ob-
jects and that ash from previous cooking has been removed.
- Remove the embers when the ash has extinguished.
- The oven can be used all year round; in the winter, heat the oven with a smaller re to avoid thermal shock due
to the humidity.
- Lightly lubricate the metal parts with Vaseline oil in order to avoid corrosion.
- It is recommended regular maintenance by a qualied technician.

CLEANING
- When the re has gone out and the oven is not hot enough, collect the ashes left over from previous cooking
with a metallic brush and a pan.
- Clean the oven oor (when the oven is cold) with a brush and gently wipe the oven oor with a damp cloth after
every use.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the external sheet.
- Apply a light coat of vaseline to make the metal shine.
- Remove and clean the chimney ue once a year; animals may nest there and/or ash may block the passage of
smoke.
- If traces of rust begin to appear, clean with a polishing brush and apply a thin coat of vaseline.
- Do not use chemical products to clean the oven.
- Do not clean the product when it is in use.
- If the oven is exposed in a sea side, in order to prevent corrosion and fouling, it is recommended to frequently
clean the oven with fresh water.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE OVEN PRODUCES SMOKE
- Check that the wood is not too moist and the embers are not unburned.
- Make sure that you have started a re with vivid ames, gradual but steady, in order to avoid incomplete com-
bustion.
- If the oven is installed indoors, check the chimney ue and any air inlets in the room.
- It is recommended to close the oven door.
IF THE OVEN DOES NOT HEAT
- Check that the re is on one side of the oven and not near the mouth.
- Fire with vivid ames for 20 minutes.
- Do not amass the wood over the embers.
- Gradually add the wood to the re.
IF THE OVEN COOLS DOWN QUICKLY
- Check that no moisture or water has inltrated the oven.
- It may be lit for the rst time or after a long idle period.
- Avoid sudden short res that do not warm the bottom of the oven.
IF THE FLAMES COME OUT OF THE MOUTH OR CHIMNEY CAP
- Avoid excessive res and immediately dampen the ames that reach out of the oven by resting the door over
the mouth of the oven, leaving a gap of 2 or 3 cm.
IF THE OVEN DOESN’T COOK AS YOU WOULD LIKE
- Ensure the oven is at the right temperature.
- Ensure the oven maintains the desired temperature for the duration of the cooking time; use the counter to
adjust the heat intensity as well as the ame adjuster: open and close it to raise or lower the temperature as
necessary.
