Operating Instructions
Once correctly assembled, your oven is ready for
use. You should check the screws on your oven
prior to each use to ensure they have not loosened.
Similar to lighting a standard fire in a household
fireplace, use some kindling and a flame to start a
fire directly on top of the fire bricks in the center of
the oven.
Use 3 pieces of untreated wood, i.e. red gum,
approximately 30cmL x 10cmD x 10cmW and
position the wood in a teepee shape over the
kindling.
Carefully light the kindling and close the oven door.
Check the fire periodically to ensure the fire has
‘taken’ and re-light if necessary.
Once the oven temperature has reached the
desired temperature (400-450 degrees Celsius for
pizzas), remove the door of the oven and push the
fire to the rear of the oven either using the long
handled pizza paddle provided, or another fire
proof long handled implement.
The oven will take approximately 45 minutes to
reach 400-450 degrees, however this will vary
depending on the amount and type of wood used.

Use a fire proof broom to sweep away any ashes
left behind from the fire.
Once the fire bricks are clean, pizzas can be applied
to the bricks.
Use the pizza paddle to insert and remove your
pizza from the oven. If your pizza dough is sticking,
put some semolina on the bottom of your pizza
paddle. You may also use a wooden pizza peel to
assist in inserting your pizza into the oven.
After cooking for a few hours, you may find that the
cooking temperature of your oven will start to cool.
To increase the temperature, additional wood can
be added to the fire at any time. If the existing fire
has become too low and the new wood isn’t
catching a light, use some more kindling or charcoal
to reignite the fire before adding a larger piece of
wood.
The ideal cooking temperature for pizzas is
between 400-450 degrees Celsius. At this
temperature, pizzas will cook in approximately 3
minutes. This will vary depending on the thickness
of the pizza dough and toppings. You may find that
at this temperature, you will cook without the oven
door on to allow you to regularly rotate the pizza.
To prevent the pizza crust from burning on the size
closest to the fire, use the long handled pizza

paddle to rotate the pizza to ensure the crust cooks
evenly.
Instead of cooking pizzas directly on the fire bricks,
you may choose to cook on metal pizza trays. If you
choose to do this and find that the pizza bases are
not crisp, remove the pizza from the pizza tray for
the last minute and cook directly on the fire bricks
to crisp up the base of the pizza.
Another alternative to cooking directly on the fire
bricks is to cook on a ceramic pizza stone. To ensure
you get a crisp base on your pizza, you will need to
ensure your pizza stone is hot before putting the
pizza on it. Check with the manufacturer of the
pizza stone whether it can withstand temperatures
of up to 450 degrees before trying this.
This oven can be used to cook any foods that can be
cooked in a domestic kitchen oven such as bread,
roasts and desserts. The ideal cooking temperature
for these foods are the same as if they were cooked
in a domestic kitchen oven, approximately 200
degrees Celsius for roasts and bread.

Caring for your pizza
oven instructions
After each use and after the pizza oven is cooled,
sweep out the wood and ashes either into the grate
at the rear of the oven, or through the front of the
oven.
Empty any ashes from the ash tray at the rear of
the oven.
Due to the extreme temperatures this pizza oven
can take, you may notice that the stainless steel will
dis-colour and take on a copper like appearance.
A stainless steel pizza oven is more than just
another kitchen or outdoor cooking gadget. It is an
investment. When properly cared for, your stainless
steel pizza oven will provide years of dependable
service and become a center piece for your outdoor
gatherings.
What is Stainless Steel?
This durable metal is an alloy that contains at least
10.5 percent chromium. It is this element that
inhibits the corrosion that may damage your pizza
oven.

What is Corrosion?
Corrosion, or rust, is the natural process whereby
objects that contain iron interact with oxygen,
resulting in the formation of oxides that first appear
as stains or minor flaking on the surface of the
object. While this is an organic process, it is a form
of decay that can ultimately result in compromise
and eventual disintegration of the pizza oven.
What Impacts Corrosion?
Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, but it is not
immune to it. In particular, stainless steel can be
affected by rust when the environment is one of
low oxygen, high salinity, or poor circulation. When
allowed to accumulate, grease, dirt, and moisture
can penetrate the metal and result in staining or
even pitting on the surface of the oven.
How Can I Prevent Corrosion?
Exposure to harsh chemicals, excess moisture, or
saline environments can damage this protective
layer. Pitting may occur when small areas of the
skin-like coating sustain damage. These pits leave
portions of the pizza oven vulnerable to corrosion.
Maintaining your pizza oven with careful cleaning
and protective measures will ensure that this
passive barrier remains intact and continues to
protect your pizza oven. Ideally your pizza oven will
be stored until cover and be fitted with a
waterproof cover.

General Cleaning Tips
When cleaning the outside of your pizza oven, it is
important to utilize gentle, non-abrasive tools and
cleaners. In many cases, warm water and a soft
cloth will suffice. Clean with the grain of the
stainless steel to thoroughly remove build up.
Deeper Cleaning Tips
When deeper cleaning is required, a small amount
of diluted dish detergent, rubbing alcohol, or club
soda can be applied to a soft cloth and used to buff
out stains or areas of greasy build up. Follow this
cleaning with a rinse of warm water. Remember to
avoid abrasives and cleaners that contain chlorine
or bleach. We recommend using ‘Bar Keepers
Friend’ cleanser and polisher. BKF is the premium
household cleanser. With a non-bleach formula, it's
is recommended for cleaning stainless steel
cookware and sinks, glass and ceramic cooktops,
solid surface countertops, porcelain and acrylic
bathtubs and more. Below are before and after
photos using BKF

Dry Your Appliance Thoroughly
Since remaining moisture may promote corrosion,
carefully dry your pizza oven with a fresh cloth.
Towels constructed of microfiber may be
particularly effective.
Oil Your Appliance
Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of mineral
oil to your pizza oven. Oiling your pizza oven will
provide an additional protective layer against
grease, moisture, and fingerprints. When buffed,
the oil also lends it an attractive shine.
Cover Your Appliance
Perhaps most importantly, your pizza oven should
never be left exposed to the elements. A cover will
protect your applicant from moisture, abrasives,
and chemicals.
When it comes to protecting your pizza oven, it is
vital to understand how your pizza oven is
equipped to organically avoid corrosion and rust.
This knowledge can help you guarantee that this
natural protective layer is gently maintained to
avoid damage and ensure years of quality service.
Through careful cleaning, oiling, and protection
from the elements, your pizza oven will provide
years of enjoyment as a functional center piece for
your outdoor food preparation needs.

Outdoor Areas
This oven should only be used in an above ground
scenario with ventilation, without stagnant areas.

Within a partial enclosure that includes an
overhead cover and more than two walls:
1. At least 25% of the total wall area is
completely open, and
2. At least 30% of the remaining wall area is
open and unrestricted (figures 3, 4 and 5)
With balconies, at least 20% of the total side, back
and front walls shall remain open and unrestricted
