DANGER
• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the
appliance or in an enclosed area.
• Never ll a cylinder beyond 80% full.
• If the information in the two points above is not
followed exactly, a re causing death or serious
injury may occur.
• An overlled or improperly stored cylinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the safety
relief valve. This could cause an intense re with
risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping,
immediately get away from the LP cylinder and
appliance and call your re department.
LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage
• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn
coupling nut counterclockwise by hand
only - do not use tools to disconnect. Lift LP tank
wire upward off of LP tank collar, then lift LP tank up.
Install safety cap onto LP tank valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in seri-
ous personal injury and/or property damage.
• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being trans-
ported must have a safety cap installed (as shown).
Do not store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such
as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other
building. Never leave an LP tank inside a vehicle
which may become overheated by the sun.
• Do not store an LP tank in an area where
children play.
LP Tank
• The LP Tank used with your grill must meet the follow-
ing requirements:
• LP Tanks must be constructed and marked in ac-
cordance with specications for LP Tanks of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada,
CAN/CSA-B339, tanks, spheres and tubes for
transportation of dangerous goods. Transport
Canada (TC). See LP Tank collar for marking.
• LP Tank valve must have:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with regulator or grill.
• Safety relief valve.
• UL listed Overll Protection
Device (OPD). This OPD safety
feature is identied by a unique
triangular hand wheel. Use only
LP Tanks equipped with this type
of valve.
• LP Tank must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal and include col-
lar to protect LP Tank valve. Always keep LP Tanks
in upright position during use, transit
or storage.
LP Tank in upright position for vapor withdrawal
LP (Liqueed Petroleum Gas)
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when
produced.
• For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor
(similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly ammable and may ignite
unexpectedly when mixed with air.
LP Tank Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge new tank before lling.
• Dealer should NEVER ll LP Tank more than 80% of
LP Tank volume. Volume of propane in tank will vary
by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overll. Immediately
close LP Tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for
assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the
atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP Tank, contact an LP dealer
or call a local re department for assistance. Check
the telephone directory under “Gas Companies” for
nearest certied LP dealers.

If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the
LP tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your
re department!
LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange
service. Use only those reputable exchange companies
that inspect, precision ll, test and certify their tanks.
Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the “LP Tank”
section of this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright
position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap
on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is
exchanged or relled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open ame to check for gas leaks.
• Oven must be leak tested outdoors in a
well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources
such as gas red or electrical appliances. Dur-
ing leak test, keep oven away from open ames or
sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas

valve outlet. It will defeat the
Safety Relief Valve feature.
5. Hold regulator and insert
nipple into LP tank valve.
Hand-tighten the coupling nut,
holding regulator in a straight line
with LP tank valve so as not to
cross thread the connection.
Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage
to gas valve/hose/regulator components can result.

Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF
when not in use.
! !
!!
CAUTION
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds,
turn the burner controls OFF, wait 5
minutes and repeat the lighting
procedure. If the burner does not ignite
with the valve open, gas will continue to
ow out of the burner and could
accidently ignite with risk of injury.
Match-Lighting
Do not lean over Pizza Oven while lighting.
1. Place match into match holder (hanging from
side panel of griddle). Light match; then light
burner by placing match on right or left side
of griddle.
2. Push in and turn burner knob to the HI posi-
tion, depending on match light hole selected.
Be sure burner lights and stays lit.
Burner Flame Check
• Light burner, rotate knob from to low. You
should see a smaller ame in low position than
seen on. Perform burner ame check on
side burner, also. Always check ame prior
to each use. If only low ame is seen refer to
“Sudden drop or low ame” in
the Troubleshooting.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn knob to the OFF position. Turn LP cylin-
der OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a
full stop.
Ignitor Check
• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold
electronic ignitor button. “Click” should be
heard and spark seen each time between each
collector box or burner and electrode. See
“Troubleshooting” if no click or spark.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder
before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF
position. To check valve, rst push in knob and
release, knob should spring back. If knob does
not spring back, replace valve assembly
before using oven. Turn knob to low position
then turn back to OFF position. Valve should
turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are
cut or worn. Replace damaged hoses before
using oven. Use only identical replacement
part valve/hose/regulator as specied in the
Parts List of this Use and Care Guide.
General Oven Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation
of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of
gas ovens are not painted at the factory (and
should never be painted). Apply a strong
solution of detergent and water or use an
ovencleaner with scrub brush on insides of
oven lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to com-
pletely air dry. Do not apply a caustic griddle/
oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water
and wipe dry. Do not use Citrisol, abrasive
cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated oven
cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure
of parts can result.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or
nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your
oven’s high quality appearance, wash with mild
detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry
with a soft cloth after each use.
• Baked-on grease deposits may require the use
of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only
in direction of brushed nish to avoid damage.
Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graph-
ics.
• Stone just needs to be brushed off. If desired,
wash Pizza Stone with warm water. NEVER
use soap as it may penetrate the stone cook-
ing area and leave a soap taste in food.
• If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the
oven cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bris-
tles remain on cooking surfaces prior to cook-
ing.
WARNING

Storing Your Pizza Oven
• Clean pizza stone.
• Store in dry location.
• When an LP cylinder is connected to Pizza
Oven, store outdoors in a well-ventilated space
and out of reach of children.
• Cover Pizza Oven if stored outdoors. Choose
from a variety of Pizza Oven covers offered
by Blackstone.
• Store Pizza Oven indoors ONLY if LP cylinder
is turned off and disconnected, removed from
Pizza Oven and stored outdoors.
• When removing Pizza Oven from storage, fol-
low “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instruc-
tions before starting griddle.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace
parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble
igniting Pizza Oven.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knob and LP cylinder.
2. Remove upper cover (Part 10 on parts list).
3. Remove heat shield and aluminum cover,
stone, and rotating panel.
4. Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will
depend on the burner conguration.
5. Carefully lift burner up and away from valve
openings. We suggest three ways to clean the
burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you. (A)
Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook. Run the hook
through burner tube several times.(B) Use a
narrow bottle brush with a exible handle (do
not use a brass wire brush), run the brush
through burner tube several times.(C) Wear eye
protection: Use an air hose to force air into the
burner tube and out the burner ports. Check
each port to make sure air comes out each
hole.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such
as an open paper clip.
8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear
and corrosion some holes may become
enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found
replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must
reengage valve openings.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11. Attach burners to brackets on rebox.
12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to
burner.
Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying
the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food
safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four
basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with
hot soapy water before and after handling raw
meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry
from ready-to eat foods to avoid cross
contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils
when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill
bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper
internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers
promptly. For more information Visit the
Canadian partnership for Consumer Food
Safety Education-www.befood safe.ca.
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked on a griddle or
oven often browns very fast on the outside.
Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut
into food to check for visual signs of being
done.
• Whole poultry should reach 165° F/74°C.
Juices should run clear and esh should not
be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or
poultry should reach 160° F/71°C , and be
brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can
be cooked to 145° F/63°C . All cuts of pork
should reach 160° F/71°C.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and nish
cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy
harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked
meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F/64°C , or
until steaming hot dogs, grill to 165°F/74°C, or
until steaming hot.
• Follow these guidelines when cooking these
types of foods on your pizza.
