LEAK TESTING
WARNING!
Never use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.
Always use the following procedure to check for gas leaks.
1. In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent
or soap.
2. Make sure that the gas supply valve on the gas cylinder is
turned on.
3. Make sure that the gas control valves on the appliance are all
turned off.
4. Using a brush or spray bottle apply the solution to the gas line
and each join in the gas line.
5. Bubbling of the solution will indicate that there is a leak
present.
6. Re-tighten or re-seal any joints that are leaking.
7. If a leak persists then contact your distributor or the
manufacturer for assistance.
When to Test: The Pizza Oven gas bottle, regulator & hose
assembly should be checked for leaks, using the soapy water leak
test, every time you reconnect your regulator to the Pizza Oven gas
bottle. You should also test after any long period of non-use, such
as at the beginning of BBQ season.
What to use: You will need a soapy water solution to check for any
leaks. Mixing liquid hand soap with water will work fine (do not use
any other household cleaning products).
How to Test: Put some soapy water in a spray bottle or a dish.
Turn on the gas bottle but do not turn on the Pizza Oven. Next,
spray the entire valve, regulator and hose assembly with the soapy
water including where the hose connects to the Pizza Oven.
Alternatively, you can apply the soapy water with a paint brush,
basting brush.
Bubbles will form if there is a gas leak and you may also smell the
gas. If you find a leak, turn off the gas bottle immediately!
Do not turn back on or attempt to use the Pizza Oven if a gas leak
has been detected, contact your local Pizza Oven Dealer for repair.
OPERATION
WARNING!
DO NOT use the pizza stone directly exposed to the burner on
the oven floor. This pizza oven is designed for the pizza stone to
sit on the grill. This will leave a gap for air circulation in the oven.
Full coverage of the burner area will cause excessive buildup of
heat and damage the oven.
• Never leave burners on high for more than 10 minutes unless
actually cooking. If the burner makes hissing sounds when lit, it

17
may be burning inside. Turn burner off, allow it to cool and try
again.
• Close the gas cylinder valve after each use.
• Never lean heavily on the side shelves of your Pizza Oven or
attempt to transport your Pizza Oven by lifting it from the side
shelves.
• Before you start cooking for the first time, clean the Pizza Oven
thoroughly with hot soapy water. This is necessary to remove
residuals and solvents, oil and grease, which may have remained
from the manufacturing process. The hotplate and grill should be
thoroughly cleaned in the same manner.
• Clean and maintain the appliance after each use.
• “Burning off” the Pizza Oven after every use (for approx 15
minutes) will keep excessive food residue to a minimum.
NOTE:
Before using the Pizza Oven for the first time, the Pizza
Oven must be lit and burning for 30 minutes on the
“low” setting. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and
dissipate odor from the painted finish. The cooking area
may change slightly in colour. It is normal and it is the
nature of the material.
IMPORTANT
The regulator supplied with this Pizza Oven may incorporate an
Excess Flow Control Safety Device. The Excess Flow Control
will activate to prevent gas flow should a regulator malfunction
occur. It is important that the Pizza Oven operator understands
that all gas valves on the Pizza Oven are closed in the OFF
position prior to opening the gas cylinder valve. If the Pizza Oven
valves are open prior to opening the cylinder valve, the Excess
Flow Control will be activated and prevent the Pizza Oven from
being lit. To reset, close the Pizza Oven valves and gas cylinder
valve, wait for 1 minute and use correct lighting procedure as
detailed below.
SAFETY PRACTICE TO AVOID INJURY
• Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning on the gas. If there is
evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to
use.
• Only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the
appliance should be use. Never substitute regulator for those
supplied with the appliance. Contact customer service for proper
replacement.
• Leak check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and
water solution before operating the appliance.
• DO NOT turn the gas at the LP gas cylinder unless the gas hose
is properly connected to the side burner gas pipe system and all
burner are in the “OFF” position.
• Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the appliance and check
the connection before each use.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean your Pizza Oven between uses and especially
after extended periods of storage. Ensure the Pizza Oven and its
components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do not leave the
Pizza Oven exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in
damp, moist areas.
• Never douse the Pizza Oven with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
Whilst our products are made to the highest standards and all care
is taken to make them as weather proof as possible, we cannot
accept responsibility for rust occurring on exposed metal parts
unless this is a result of faulty manufacture of parts.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your Pizza
Oven, we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when not in
use, especially during the winter months.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE AND CLEANING ADVICE
Your Pizza Oven features Stainless Steel components. All Stainless
Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their
appearance. Stainless Steels are not immune to corrosion and
neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular public
perception. Even the highest marine grades of Stainless Steel
require frequent cleaning to avoid oxidation and other corrosive
issues.
Modern tastes dictate that your Pizza Oven features Stainless Steel
with a brushed finish. This brushed finish is attained by running
Stainless Steel sheets through an abrasive process that removes
the mirror finish and leaves the brushed finish. Brushed-finish
Stainless Steel requires frequent cleaning and care, to maintain its
quality of appearance. Without adequate care it is realistic to expect
that it will show signs of corrosion in time.
Stainless steel is definitely not a maintenance-free material.
Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely related. Stainless steel
performs best when clean - cleanliness is essential for maximum
resistance to corrosion and to maintain the good looks and life of
your Pizza Oven.
TYPES OF SURFACE CONTAMINANTS
Fingerprints and Stains
Fingerprints and mild stains resulting from normal use are the most
common surface contaminates. They can be removed with a glass
cleaner or with a soft rag. This should be followed by a thorough
warm water rinse.
DIRT
Like any surface that is exposed to the environment especially in
coastal areas, stainless steel can get dirty. Cleaning with warm
water with or without a gentle detergent is sufficient. Next in
order are mild non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical
household cleaners. These can be used with warm water, nylon
bristle brushes, sponges, or clean cloths. Carbon steel brushes or
steel wool should be avoided as they may leave particles embedded
on the surface which can lead to RUSTING. Cleaning should always
be followed by rinsing in clean hot water.
GREASE
Grease may soil stainless steel surfaces in food preparation. These
soils may be mildly corrosive if left or may not allow the surface
to maintain passivity, and so regular removal is a necessity for the
appearance.
TYPES OF CLEANERS AND METHODS
Consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for post-
cleaning corrosion caused by incompletely removed cleaners. Avoid
using abrasive cleaners unless absolutely necessary.
CLEAN WATER AND WIPE
A soft cloth and clean warm water should always be the first choice
for mild stains and loose dirt and soils. A final rinse with clean
water and a dry wipe will complete the process and eliminate the
possibility of water stains.
HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS
Household cleaners fall into two categories: detergent (non-
abrasive) and abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners are more
effective but introduce the possibility of scratching the surface. A
neutral cleaner low in chloride is essential. The cleaning method
generally employed with these cleaners is to apply them to the
stainless surface and follow by cloth wiping in the direction of the
grain or polish lines (not across them). The cleaned surface should
be thoroughly rinsed with clean water and wiped dry with a soft
cloth if water streaking is a consideration.
COOKING GRILL
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is
completed and the flames have been turned off.
Wear a barbecue mitt to protect your hand from heat and steam.
Scrub the hot cooking grates by dipping a bristled barbecue brush
in tap water. Cleaning will be more difficult if the grill is allowed to
cool.
GRILL BURNER
Abnormal Operations:
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and
may require service.
• Yellow tipping of the yellow flame
• Sooting up of pizza grill
• Burner not igniting properly
• Burner failing to remain alight
• Gas valves which are difficult to turn on
The stainless steel burner does have a defined operating lifespan,
these products are often exposed to cooking marinades and
extreme heat in an area of the Pizza Oven which can be neglected
during regular cleaning.
Replacement parts are available from your local Pizza Oven dealer.
Extreme care should be taken when removing a burner. It must
be correctly centered on the orifice before any attempt is made to
relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning with depend on how often
you use the grill.
Failure to properly place the burner over the orifice could cause a
fire to occur behind and beneath the valve panel, thereby damaging
the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and control knobs are in
the ‘OFF’ position and the burners have cooled.
Follow these instructions to clean parts of burner assembly or if you
have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LPG Tank.
2. Remove pizza stones, cooking grill and smoker box.
3. Remove screw at end of burner using a screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift the burner up and away from valve openings.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper
clip.
7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some.
Inspect burner for any damage (crack or holes). If damage is found,
replace with a new burner. Reinstall the burner, check to ensure that
the Gas valve orifices are correctly positioned and secured inside
the burner inlet.
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 each burner tube and burner
several times.
