GENERAL INFORMATION
PLEASE SAVE THIS OWNER’S MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Carefully read the information in this manual before installing and using the pizza
oven. Improper installation, operation and maintenance can result in serious
injury, fire and/or damages not covered by the warranty.
IMPORTANT
Check with your municipality for regulations on the installation and use of an outdoor
Pizza Oven. We also recommend that you contact your home insurance company and
advise them of the acquisition of your new Techo-Bloc Pizza Oven.
This Pizza Oven is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Check with your municipality for
minimum clearance distances. Make sure that there is nothing directly above the
pizza oven area that can be a potential fire and/or injury hazard.
COMPONENTS
Place a piece of material (e.g. plywood) between the forks and the Pizza Oven sections
to prevent chipping of the concrete blocks. Remove the forks protecting material before
the filler blocks are installed.
