User's Manual Mediterrânico Royal
Your oven is ready to work, no additional work is needed. However, pay attention to the weight
that the base support should hold:
Contact your local building or fire inspectors over restrictions on placing this oven.
Also, check your local regulations on minimum clearances between the oven and buildings or
structures.
Even though the Mediterrânico Royal is ready to work and apparently dry, it is necessary to
carry out a cure to remove moisture accumulated during the manufacturing of the oven. The
curing consists in running small fires gradually increasing in intensity to allow a slow removal of
moisture and to prevent damages.
The cure should take 3 steps; please allow 1 day for each step. At each step you should run a
fire for 2 hours without exceeding the temperature indicated in table 03. The cast iron door and
dampers should always be kept wide open.
After 2 hours, let the fire die down and remove the ashes. Close the cast iron door.
mart tip:
In order to control easily the temperature, use smaller pieces of firewood.
Important:
Never use water to lower the temperature of the oven or to extinguish the fire. This
may cause irreparable damages to the oven structure. If you find that the
temperature rose too much, remove some firewood.

User's Manual Mediterrânico Royal
The firing process lasts between 1h00m and 1h30m, depending on the oven size,
firewood type, and weather conditions. The heating must be done slowly and gradually
respecting the temperature curve of chart 01.
You must start a small fire in the middle of the oven surface, and as the intensity increases,
extend it to the sides and back of the oven, always respecting the temperature curve of chart
01.
To know when the oven is ready to cook, these three conditions must simultaneously take
place:
The elapsed time should be at least 1 hour.
The temperature should be at least 275 °C.
The interior of the oven must be clean, without the soot that is formed on the walls
at the start of the fire.
When all these occur, the oven is ready to cook.
Learn with your oven:
The drives referred (chart 01) may vary depending on the oven dimensions, the wood
type or weather conditions. With practice you will learn the optimal functioning of your
oven.
Important:
This oven is fully insulated; therefore, less wood is needed to reach higher
temperatures.
Running large fires and leading it quickly to very high temperatures can cause
irreparable damages to the Mediterrânico Royal.
Until you get familiar operating the oven, put less firewood rather than in excess.

User's Manual Mediterrânico Royal
Your oven allows three different cooking methods: live fire, coals, and heat retention.
All of them are easy to achieve, but practice is essential in order to obtain a perfect result.
Live fire
In this method the cast iron door and damper must be fully open; the fire must remain leaning
against one side of the oven.
The live fire is ideal for making fast dishes, which require very high temperatures, such as
pizzas.
Coals
This method is similar to the live fire, but instead of running the fire, you will let only the hot
coals inside. The cast iron door and damper should always remain open.
It is suitable for baking, roasting or grilling (using a grid), and fast cooking that does not require
high temperatures.
Heat retention
It is perfect for roasts and breads.
After heating the oven, remove the fire wood and embers; then, place the food inside and close
the cast iron door and the damper.
As the initial temperature is very high on some foods, such as fish or meats with skin, apply an
aluminum paper foil on top of the roasts during the first 15-20 minutes.
Important:
Never use chemicals to heat or rekindle your oven as they may transmit improper
flavour to food.
