• Do not smoke while leak testing.
• Never perform a gas leak test with an open flame.
• Make a soap solution of one (1) teaspoon of liquid detergent to one (1) cup of water. You will need a spray bottle, brush,
or sponge to apply the solution to the fittings.

8
GAS LEAK TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the OFF position and turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections with soap and water or soap solution from the gas regulator and supply valve to the connection of
the hose and gas terminal on the burner. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. Turn off the gas and contact your local dealer if the leak continues.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each oven burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. The flames of the burners should be visually
checked. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check
to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding flame
stability, please contact customer service at [email protected] or call 1-833-855-1816.
⚠ATTENTION: Always check for leaks after every tank change. Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use.
It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings.
Bubbles indicate leaks. It is advisable to change the gas hose every two to three (2-3) years.
⚠WARNING: Gas leaks could cause fire or explosions causing serious injuries or damages. In case of a gas leak, do
not light the oven and determine the reason for the leak in order to prevent fire and/or explosion.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Always wear heat-resistant gloves when operating the pizza oven.
1. First, make sure the control knob on the burner is in the OFF position.
2. Slowly turn the valve on the propane gas tank to start the gas flow.
3. Push in and turn the control knob on the burner to power the oven and control the flame output. You will hear a snapping
sound indicating that the burner is lit.
4. Turn the control knob up and down to adjust between high and low to control the flame.
5. Allow the oven to preheat for at least 15 - 20 minutes.
NOTE: Pizza oven heats up to 925 °F however pizza should be added in once the pizza oven reaches 750 °F. Do not
cook the pizza until it reaches the appropriate temperature.
6. Once the oven finishes preheating, use the pizza peel to pick up your uncooked pizza and place it in the oven.
NOTE: Be aware that it is normal for the heat emitting from the pizza oven to fog up the temperature gauge slightly.
7. Rotate your pizza with the pizza peel every 15 to 20 seconds to evenly distribute the heat to every part of your pizza.
8. Once your pizza crust has a nice even char all around, use the pizza peel to remove the pizza from the oven.

9
LIGHTING THE OVEN WITH A MATCH
If the burner does not light after several attempts using the control knov, the burner may be lit with a match.
1. Wait 5 minutes for accumulated gas to dissipate before trying to light the burner with a match.
2. Insert a match into the lighting rod.
3. Strike the match to light it.

5. Turn the control knob to “High.” You will hear the snapping sound indicating that the burner is lit.

COOKING PRECAUTIONS
• This oven will be hot during and after use. Use insulated oven mitts or gloves for protection from hot surfaces or splattered
cooking liquids.
• Always preheat the oven before cooking. Heat for 15 – 20 minutes or until the thermometer reaches a temperature of
750 °F.
• Calculate a longer cooking time on cold or windy days or at high altitudes. Calculate a shorter cooking time if the external
temperature is particularly hot.
• The cooking time depends on the weather conditions or the quantities, dimensions, and shape of the food.
• Depending on the cooking condition, you may need to regulate the burner knob in order to reach the right cooking
temperature.
• Always use heat-resistant utensils while cooking. Plastic spoons, forks, tongs, etc., and other similar materials cannot
withstand the heat in the oven and should be avoided.
• Check and remove any residual grease to avoid a grease fire.
• While cooking, do not lean over the open oven or place your hands or fingers on the front edge of the oven.
• If the flames go out during cooking, turn off the gas control knob and the gas tank valve. Wait five minutes before lighting
up the oven again.
• During operation, the oven can reach high temperatures. Do not move the oven or leave it unattended while burning.
• Always keep children and pets away from the oven during use. The oven temperatures can be extremely high and can
cause severe burns.
• Keep fuel supply pipes far from hot surfaces.
• The color of the oven surfaces can change due to high temperatures.

10
TIPS FOR COOKING
• Since this product reaches very high temperatures, frequently check your food to ensure it does not overcook or burn.
• Optimal cooking times and temperatures will vary depending on the thickness, size, and recipe of the dough.
• Make sure your pizza has flour under it so it will not stick to the pizza peel or the pizza board.
• When cooking meat, please place it on cookware and/or bakeware that is made to withstand high temperatures (as long
as there is no plastic on the handle or lid) before putting it into the oven, directly on the board. Please note cookware or
bakeware with Bakelite or phenolic handles can melt.
• Do not use the pizza board when cooking your own meat, fish, or other dishes.
DISCONNECTING THE PROPANE TANK
1. Turn the oven burner valve off and make sure the oven is cool.
2. Turn the propane tank valve off by turning it until it stops.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
4. Place a dust cap on the tank valve outlet whenever the tank is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the tank
valve outlet that is provided with the tank valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
• If the oven cools down too quickly:
o Avoid making a small or fast fire that would not heat the oven to capacity.
o Verify that water and/or humidity have not infiltrated the oven.
o Please verify that the burner is working well. Make sure to turn off the oven and disconnect it from the
propane tank before moving or cleaning the pizza oven.
• If the oven does not cook as desired:
o Check that the oven has reached the right temperature.
o Make a fire with approximately 15 to 20 minutes of high flame.
o Ensure the oven maintains the desired temperature for the duration of the cooking time; use the control knob
to adjust the heat intensity.
• Let the pizza oven cool down before moving it. Once it is dry and cool, wrap it with the oven cover.
• Store the pizza oven indoors in a dry, cool place. Store it away from direct sunlight.
• Store the gas tank outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
• Cleaning the pizza board:
o Avoid using detergent on the pizza board.
o Do not submerge the pizza board in the water. Scrape away loose particles first and then go over the board
with a damp cloth.
o If you need some heavy-duty particle cleaning power, try using some medium-grit sandpaper for stubborn,
raised, caked-on food particles.
o You should only cook pizza on the pizza board. Use your own pans if you are cooking meat, vegetables, or
other dishes.
• Cleaning the exterior of the oven:
o To clean, wipe down the exterior of the pizza oven with a damp cloth then dry the exterior.
o Do not use abrasive detergent on the exterior.
• Cleaning the interior of the oven:
o Do not get the internal burner wet.
o Wipe the internal dome of the oven with a damp cloth.
• Avoid abrasive cleaning products when cleaning the pizza oven.
