Preliminary Safety Messages:
As this oven uses a naked flame, it is advisable to keep a well-maintained fire
extinguisher close by for safety.
Ensure the oven is not overloaded with firewood and that burning logs cannot roll out.
DO NOT OVER-FIRE. The oven temperature should not exceed 800° F. “Over-firing” by
exceeding this temperature, or having flames spill out the front of the oven, may cause
personal injury and/or damage to the pizza oven which is not covered under the warranty.
Due to the intense heat, please use due care when operating this oven. These units have
been designed as ovens for cooking purposes, not as a general wood fire for outdoor
heating.
Recommended maximum cooking temperature is 750° F?
See Page ? of this manual for additional warnings and instructions on using your oven.
Firing Your Oven:
When firing up your oven, it is recommended that you gradually heat the oven to the
desired temperature. Maximum airflow is recommended to get your fire going, so do not
place the door over the mouth of the oven when lighting your fire.
Start your fire in the center of the oven’s cooking floor using dry kindling and a taste-free,
odor-free fireblock or fire starter. Build your fire up slowly, adding wood to the back and
sides as the fire grows. Once the fire is burning consistently, add wood as required (just a
few pieces of wood will be needed.) Let the fire burn for about 15−20 minutes, or until the fire
has settled with minimal smoke output, and the oven is at the desired heat.
To prepare for cooking, move the fire to one side of the oven and brush the oven floor. Only
use a copper or brass brush. Do not use steel wire brushes, natural fiber brushes, or wet
cloths to clean the oven floor.
Cooking should commence when the coals have formed. Additional firewood can be
added as necessary to sustain the required heat. To maintain the most consistent oven

OWNER’S MANUAL & USER’S GUIDE
temperature, use your metal pizza peel to place any new wood inside of the oven away
from the active fire for a few minutes. When the wood has warmed, move it over onto the
coals. Never toss or throw wood into the oven or directly onto the fire.
Always check the temperature gauge or use a point-and-shoot infrared thermometer to
ensure the oven is maintaining the desired temperature. Note: Shooting an infrared
thermometer directly into the flame will give varying readings.
An open oven mouth (i.e. no door covering the opening) allows extra air flow. This is useful
when lighting the fire, or for boosting the fire when adding firewood. Partially blocking the
mouth of the oven with the door will reduce the flame size, intensity, and heat, allowing for a
more controlled cooking temperature. Do not completely cover the mouth of the oven with
the door when there is a live flame inside.
BEWARE of very high temperatures in the oven and use long oven gloves and mitts to
handle pots and tools. DO NOT put unprotected hands or arms inside of the oven while it
is lit.
Firewood and Fuels:
The efficiency of the oven depends on the quality of the firewood used. Only dry wood
should be used, as damp wood produces excessive smoke and will delay the oven reaching
the desired operating temperature. Double-split wood in lengths of 12”−16” and 2”−5”
diameter is preferred.
Visit www.ciaobellapizzaovens.ca to learn more about firewood types, properties, and
recommendations.
Use solid wood fuels only. DO NOT use charcoal, pressure treated lumber, chipped wood
products, sappy wood (such as pine,) laminated wood, or any material other than dry,
medium or hard firewood.
DO NOT use liquid fuel (firelighter fluid, gasoline, lantern oil, kerosene, or similar liquids) to
start, “freshen up,” or maintain the fire.

Oven Clearances:
The Ciao Bella Pizza Ovens is designed for outdoor use only. BEWARE of flying sparks from
the mouth of the oven. It is essential to maintain clearance space between the oven
components and any combustible material, such as walls, ceilings, awnings, canopies,
foliage, or construction materials. The oven must have a minimum 10 feet (apx. 3 meters)
Oven Door:
When removing the door, use a mitt to avoid contact with the hot surface. Place the door on
the storage tray of the pizza oven for safe keeping. NEVER close the oven door completely
when a fire is burning, as this cuts off oxygen, which can cause the fire to erupt when the
door is removed.
Water:
• Water can damage the inside of your oven. You must ensure that no water enters the
oven chamber, either through the oven door opening, or through the chimney.
• Always place the provided metal door in the oven opening when not in use to stop water
from entering through the opening into the oven chamber.
• Do not install the oven at a backward-leaning angle, where water could enter the oven
and pool, causing damage.
• Do not ice or wet-mop the oven floor.
• Water is not required to clean the cooking floor. The oven operates at very high tem-
peratures. The high heat acts as an automatic “self-cleaning” mode, burning off all
spilled or stuck-on foods. If stuck-on food is a problem during cooking, you can remove
it with a brass oven brush. As a preventative measure, non-dough based foods should
always be placed on appropriate cookware before being placed in the oven.

OWNER’S MANUAL & USER’S GUIDE
Soot:
Over time, the top of the opening to your oven will darken with soot. While your Ciao Bella’s
vent and chimney system do an excellent job of drawing smoke out of the oven chamber,
soot is an unavoidable part of any wood oven. You can occasionally clean the oven
opening with soap and water (with the door firmly in place,) only when the oven is cool and
not in use or you can allow the opening to naturally become black. Ensure there is enough
clearance to combustibles from all sides and top when in use. See Page 4 for specific
details. Failure to maintain these clearances can result in fire.
Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions:
• To prevent a possible burn injury, always allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• For painted models, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth to clean the exterior of the
oven. Do not use oven cleaner, as it may damage the surface coating. Use a stainless
steel cleaner for stainless steel models.
• Do not dispose of ash residue or unburnt charcoal briquettes until they have completely
cooled. Do clean the ashes out of your oven before you light a new fire. Old, cold ashes
will get in the way of baking food.
• Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
Pending disposal, the closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combusti-
ble floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials.

Roasting:
450°F – 600°F
Fire: Medium-sized bed of coals and a small flame of 2”−4” high.
Type: Used to sear meats, and brown vegetables or casseroles before covering with a lid or
liquid to finish cooking completely.
Tools: Cast iron pan or good cast iron/terracotta pot.
Baking:
The oven door should be used to have heat circulate properly when baking. The door
should be removed when cooking pizza.
Tips: Add your ingredients in layers, sautéing and browning them as needed. Add your
liquid ingredients at the end, and cover your pan to bake. (This not only keeps you out of
the kitchen and reduces the number of pans you have to clean, it also holds all of the
flavors of your ingredients in your food.)
Warming and Melting:
MOUTH OF THE OVEN
Fire: Place the dish at the front of the oven away from the direct heat and let warm.
Type: Warm a sauce or stock, melt butter, or make flavored olive oils for dipping.
Tools: Small heat-safe dish, cup, or pan:

OWNER’S MANUAL & USER’S GUIDE
Sautéing:
450°F – 600°F
Fire: Small to mid-sized fire with coals.
Type: Onions, garlic, carrots, ground beef.
Tools: Metal or cast iron pan.
Tips: Preheat the pan for a minute or two, add your olive oil, and return the pan for a few
seconds. Add chopped vegetables, or anything else you need to sauté, and return the pan
to the oven for a few minutes. You can either slightly sauté vegetables until they are soft
and translucent, or leave them in longer to brown the vegetables and build up the browned
bits that you can reduced into a sauce with a splash of wine. You can leave your pan in
even longer to caramelize your onions.
Combination Cooking:
400°F – 600°F
Fire: Small to mid-sized fire with coals. Hot to start, cooler temps to finish baking.
Type: Coq au Vin, Chicken Fricassee, and baked vegetable dishes.
Tools: Cook in a single oven-safe pan.
Tips: Add your ingredients in layers, sautéing and browning them as needed. Add your
liquid ingredients at the end, and cover your pan to bake. (This not only keeps you out of
the kitchen and reduces the number of pans you have to clean, it also holds all of the
flavors of your ingredients in your pan and in your food.)

Grilling
Hot Coals
Fire: Fire the oven, then rake a layer of hot coals across the cooking floor.
Type: Meats and vegetables.
Tools: Place a free standing cast iron grill into the oven over the coals (The Tuscan Grill is
available in the online store.) Allow it to heat up before placing food on top.
Tips: Your food will cook faster in a Ciao Bella oven than a traditional grill, leaving it moist
and tender. (It cooks 3 ways – heat of the grill, coals underneath, & hot dome above.)
Be careful not to overcook your food.
Browning:
450°F – 600°F
Fire: Small to mid-sized fire with coals.
Type: Meats and vegetables.
Tools: The reflected heat from the fire acts like a broiler for searing and browning. Cast iron
skillets work well for this style.

OWNER’S MANUAL & USER’S GUIDE
TIP FROM OUR CHEF?: IF YOU ARE COOKING PIZZA SEQUENTIALLY FOR A LARGE GATHERING, AFTER YOU
FINISH EACH PIZZA, PULL SOME COALS OUT ONTO THE COOKING FLOOR TO QUICKLY “RECHARGE IT.”
(MAYBE INSTEAD OF “RECHARGE”) REHEAT THE OVEN FLOOR AGAIN. THIS PROMOTES EVEN COOKING
TO THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR PIZZA. WHEN YOUR NEXT PIZZA IS PREPARED AND READY TO GO IN, SIMPLY
PUSH THE COALS BACK TO THE SIDE, GIVE THE FLOOR A QUICK BRUSH OFF, AND BEGIN COOKING AGAIN.
BAKEWARE TO AVOID?:WHITE PORCELAIN COOKWARE TENDS TO CRACK IN WOOD FIRED OVENS. BE
CAREFUL WITH CAST IRON/TERRACOTTA-LOOKING PANS MASS-PRODUCED IN ASIA.
THEY MIGHT NOT WITHSTAND THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR WOOD FIRED OVEN. CAST IRON /TERRACOTTA
PANS THAT ARE GUARANTEED TO WORK WELL IN YOUR OVEN ARE AVAILABLE IN THE CIAO BELLA PIZZA
OVENS ONLINE STORE.
IN GENERAL, BE CAREFUL WITH ANY CERAMIC PAN THAT YOU WOULD BE SAD TO LOSE. BETTER SAFE
THAN SORRY. THE COMBINATION OF HIGH HEAT, FLAME, AND BEING MOVED AROUND WITH A PIZZA PEEL
CAN BE ROUGH ON ANY PAN.
