Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,

We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

1. About your Primo Oven
Congratulations you are now the exclusive owner of your own Primo Oven, by The
Stone Bake Oven Company.
The Stone Bake Oven Company only use the highest quality refractory materials,
hand selected to make your Primo Oven. This oven is carefully crafted with care in
England.
To get the best from your oven, we recommend you read and follow the complete
manual and health and safety measures.
The Primo is ready to use, without the need for timely curing fires.
1.1 Protecting your Oven From The Elements
It is essential you follow these measures to ensure the longevity of your oven and to
operate it in a safe manner.
In between using your oven, place your waterproof Stone Bake Oven Company
Primo Oven Cover over the oven, for protection from the elements, including water
damage and frost. Failure to do this may void your warranty. Before placing the
cover over the oven, ensure that it is cool and that there is no residual heat inside.
In autumn and winter ensure your oven is covered when not in use and adhere to
slow firing times (see How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter, section 3.2.2). Failure
to do this may void your oven warranty.
1.2 Oven finish
Due to the oven casting process and the nature of the materials used, natural
variation between ovens is expected. We believe this adds to the rustic and
individual charm of your oven.

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)
Sweep embers to the side Start cooking

4.1 Types of Wood-Fired Cooking
Although arguably the most popular food to cook in your oven is Pizzas, your Stone
Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,
and you can cut washing and cleaning times in half, due to the ‘self clean’ nature of
your oven.

5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

1. About your Primo Oven
Congratulations you are now the exclusive owner of your own Primo Oven, by The
Stone Bake Oven Company.
The Stone Bake Oven Company only use the highest quality refractory materials,
hand selected to make your Primo Oven. This oven is carefully crafted with care in
England.
To get the best from your oven, we recommend you read and follow the complete
manual and health and safety measures.
The Primo is ready to use, without the need for timely curing fires.
1.1 Protecting your Oven From The Elements
It is essential you follow these measures to ensure the longevity of your oven and to
operate it in a safe manner.
In between using your oven, place your waterproof Stone Bake Oven Company
Primo Oven Cover over the oven, for protection from the elements, including water
damage and frost. Failure to do this may void your warranty. Before placing the
cover over the oven, ensure that it is cool and that there is no residual heat inside.
In autumn and winter ensure your oven is covered when not in use and adhere to
slow firing times (see How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter, section 3.2.2). Failure
to do this may void your oven warranty.
1.2 Oven finish
Due to the oven casting process and the nature of the materials used, natural
variation between ovens is expected. We believe this adds to the rustic and
individual charm of your oven.

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

1. About your Primo Oven
Congratulations you are now the exclusive owner of your own Primo Oven, by The
Stone Bake Oven Company.
The Stone Bake Oven Company only use the highest quality refractory materials,
hand selected to make your Primo Oven. This oven is carefully crafted with care in
England.
To get the best from your oven, we recommend you read and follow the complete
manual and health and safety measures.
The Primo is ready to use, without the need for timely curing fires.
1.1 Protecting your Oven From The Elements
It is essential you follow these measures to ensure the longevity of your oven and to
operate it in a safe manner.
In between using your oven, place your waterproof Stone Bake Oven Company
Primo Oven Cover over the oven, for protection from the elements, including water
damage and frost. Failure to do this may void your warranty. Before placing the
cover over the oven, ensure that it is cool and that there is no residual heat inside.
In autumn and winter ensure your oven is covered when not in use and adhere to
slow firing times (see How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter, section 3.2.2). Failure
to do this may void your oven warranty.
1.2 Oven finish
Due to the oven casting process and the nature of the materials used, natural
variation between ovens is expected. We believe this adds to the rustic and
individual charm of your oven.
Made in England

Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,

5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)
Sweep embers to the side Start cooking

Bake recipes! Visit us online at www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk, let us know
your experiences in the comments section in the news area or follow us on facebook

4.1 Types of Wood-Fired Cooking
Although arguably the most popular food to cook in your oven is Pizzas, your Stone
Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,
and you can cut washing and cleaning times in half, due to the ‘self clean’ nature of
your oven.

5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)
Sweep embers to the side Start cooking

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.

1. About your Primo Oven
Congratulations you are now the exclusive owner of your own Primo Oven, by The
Stone Bake Oven Company.
The Stone Bake Oven Company only use the highest quality refractory materials,
hand selected to make your Primo Oven. This oven is carefully crafted with care in
England.
To get the best from your oven, we recommend you read and follow the complete
manual and health and safety measures.
The Primo is ready to use, without the need for timely curing fires.
1.1 Protecting your Oven From The Elements
It is essential you follow these measures to ensure the longevity of your oven and to
operate it in a safe manner.
In between using your oven, place your waterproof Stone Bake Oven Company
Primo Oven Cover over the oven, for protection from the elements, including water
damage and frost. Failure to do this may void your warranty. Before placing the
cover over the oven, ensure that it is cool and that there is no residual heat inside.
In autumn and winter ensure your oven is covered when not in use and adhere to
slow firing times (see How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter, section 3.2.2). Failure
to do this may void your oven warranty.
1.2 Oven finish
Due to the oven casting process and the nature of the materials used, natural
variation between ovens is expected. We believe this adds to the rustic and
individual charm of your oven.

foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

1. About your Primo Oven
Congratulations you are now the exclusive owner of your own Primo Oven, by The
Stone Bake Oven Company.
The Stone Bake Oven Company only use the highest quality refractory materials,
hand selected to make your Primo Oven. This oven is carefully crafted with care in
England.
To get the best from your oven, we recommend you read and follow the complete
manual and health and safety measures.
The Primo is ready to use, without the need for timely curing fires.
1.1 Protecting your Oven From The Elements
It is essential you follow these measures to ensure the longevity of your oven and to
operate it in a safe manner.
In between using your oven, place your waterproof Stone Bake Oven Company
Primo Oven Cover over the oven, for protection from the elements, including water
damage and frost. Failure to do this may void your warranty. Before placing the
cover over the oven, ensure that it is cool and that there is no residual heat inside.
In autumn and winter ensure your oven is covered when not in use and adhere to
slow firing times (see How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter, section 3.2.2). Failure
to do this may void your oven warranty.
1.2 Oven finish
Due to the oven casting process and the nature of the materials used, natural
variation between ovens is expected. We believe this adds to the rustic and
individual charm of your oven.
Made in England

4. Lets Get Cooking
Now you know how to assemble and fire up your oven safely, you can experiment
with many savory and sweet dishes, be sure to try out some of our very own Stone
Bake recipes! Visit us online at www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk, let us know
your experiences in the comments section in the news area or follow us on facebook
or twitter!
4.1 Types of Wood-Fired Cooking
Although arguably the most popular food to cook in your oven is Pizzas, your Stone
Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,
and you can cut washing and cleaning times in half, due to the ‘self clean’ nature of
your oven.
Our Most Popular meals include,
Roast Dinners - Beef, Pork, Lamb, Chicken, Duck
Vegetarian Dishes including Casseroles.
Baked Fish, all types.
Sweet dishes including baked desserts
Breads

5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)
Sweep embers to the side Start cooking

Step 1
Using dry, non treated wood (this can be purchased from
(www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk), chop into kindling or buy ready cut kindling,
use a single sheet of scrunched up newspaper and make a small cross sectioned
structure out of kindling positioned around it, as shown in the pictures below.
Step 2
Light the newspaper.
Step 3
Slowly feed the fire with more kindling, make sure not to overfill your Primo, if flames
are protruding out the oven opening, you have overloaded it with wood, wait for the
flames to calm before continuing. Do not attempt to remove any burning material
from the oven.
Cut kindling Scrunched newspaper Kindling stack
Simply light newspaper Let the fire grow . . .and grow!

prevent slight chipping.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

4.1 Types of Wood-Fired Cooking
Although arguably the most popular food to cook in your oven is Pizzas, your Stone
Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,
and you can cut washing and cleaning times in half, due to the ‘self clean’ nature of
your oven.
Our Most Popular meals include,
Roast Dinners - Beef, Pork, Lamb, Chicken, Duck
Vegetarian Dishes including Casseroles.
Baked Fish, all types.
Sweet dishes including baked desserts
Breads
Dried Fruit
Keep your eye on the website for the recipes.
5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)
Sweep embers to the side Start cooking

Step 1
Using dry, non treated wood (this can be purchased from
(www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk), chop into kindling or buy ready cut kindling,
use a single sheet of scrunched up newspaper and make a small cross sectioned
structure out of kindling positioned around it, as shown in the pictures below.
Step 2
Light the newspaper.
Step 3
Slowly feed the fire with more kindling, make sure not to overfill your Primo, if flames
are protruding out the oven opening, you have overloaded it with wood, wait for the
flames to calm before continuing. Do not attempt to remove any burning material
from the oven.
Cut kindling Scrunched newspaper Kindling stack
Simply light newspaper Let the fire grow . . .and grow!

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

individual charm of your oven.

4. Lets Get Cooking
Now you know how to assemble and fire up your oven safely, you can experiment
with many savory and sweet dishes, be sure to try out some of our very own Stone
Bake recipes! Visit us online at www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk, let us know
your experiences in the comments section in the news area or follow us on facebook
or twitter!
4.1 Types of Wood-Fired Cooking
Although arguably the most popular food to cook in your oven is Pizzas, your Stone
Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,
and you can cut washing and cleaning times in half, due to the ‘self clean’ nature of
your oven.
Our Most Popular meals include,
Roast Dinners - Beef, Pork, Lamb, Chicken, Duck
Vegetarian Dishes including Casseroles.
Baked Fish, all types.
Sweet dishes including baked desserts
Breads
Dried Fruit
Keep your eye on the website for the recipes.
5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 1
Using dry, non treated wood (this can be purchased from
(www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk), chop into kindling or buy ready cut kindling,
use a single sheet of scrunched up newspaper and make a small cross sectioned
structure out of kindling positioned around it, as shown in the pictures below.
Step 2
Light the newspaper.
Step 3
Slowly feed the fire with more kindling, make sure not to overfill your Primo, if flames
are protruding out the oven opening, you have overloaded it with wood, wait for the
flames to calm before continuing. Do not attempt to remove any burning material
from the oven.
Cut kindling Scrunched newspaper Kindling stack
Simply light newspaper Let the fire grow . . .and grow!

We recommend that anyone lifting the oven is adequately trained in lifting
techniques. Ensure all fingers and clothing are kept clear from beneath the oven base
and between oven dome and base joint.
NOTE: Oven dome and Base is fragile handle with extreme care when moving to
prevent slight chipping.
Carefully place the oven base in two parts on your level pre constructed base or
framework, lay the front of the ovens base first, followed by the rear of the ovens
base which slots onto the front, as shown below.

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

1. About your Primo Oven
Congratulations you are now the exclusive owner of your own Primo Oven, by The
Stone Bake Oven Company.
The Stone Bake Oven Company only use the highest quality refractory materials,
hand selected to make your Primo Oven. This oven is carefully crafted with care in
England.
To get the best from your oven, we recommend you read and follow the complete
manual and health and safety measures.
The Primo is ready to use, without the need for timely curing fires.
1.1 Protecting your Oven From The Elements
It is essential you follow these measures to ensure the longevity of your oven and to
operate it in a safe manner.
In between using your oven, place your waterproof Stone Bake Oven Company
Primo Oven Cover over the oven, for protection from the elements, including water
damage and frost. Failure to do this may void your warranty. Before placing the
cover over the oven, ensure that it is cool and that there is no residual heat inside.
In autumn and winter ensure your oven is covered when not in use and adhere to
slow firing times (see How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter, section 3.2.2). Failure
to do this may void your oven warranty.
1.2 Oven finish
Due to the oven casting process and the nature of the materials used, natural
variation between ovens is expected. We believe this adds to the rustic and
individual charm of your oven.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)
Sweep embers to the side Start cooking

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.

Using dry, non treated wood (this can be purchased from
(www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk), chop into kindling or buy ready cut kindling,
use a single sheet of scrunched up newspaper and make a small cross sectioned
structure out of kindling positioned around it, as shown in the pictures below.
Step 2
Light the newspaper.
Step 3
Slowly feed the fire with more kindling, make sure not to overfill your Primo, if flames
are protruding out the oven opening, you have overloaded it with wood, wait for the
flames to calm before continuing. Do not attempt to remove any burning material
from the oven.
Cut kindling Scrunched newspaper Kindling stack
Simply light newspaper Let the fire grow . . .and grow!

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

1. About your Primo Oven
Congratulations you are now the exclusive owner of your own Primo Oven, by The
Stone Bake Oven Company.
The Stone Bake Oven Company only use the highest quality refractory materials,
hand selected to make your Primo Oven. This oven is carefully crafted with care in
England.
To get the best from your oven, we recommend you read and follow the complete
manual and health and safety measures.
The Primo is ready to use, without the need for timely curing fires.
1.1 Protecting your Oven From The Elements
It is essential you follow these measures to ensure the longevity of your oven and to
operate it in a safe manner.
In between using your oven, place your waterproof Stone Bake Oven Company
Primo Oven Cover over the oven, for protection from the elements, including water
damage and frost. Failure to do this may void your warranty. Before placing the
cover over the oven, ensure that it is cool and that there is no residual heat inside.
In autumn and winter ensure your oven is covered when not in use and adhere to
slow firing times (see How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter, section 3.2.2). Failure
to do this may void your oven warranty.
1.2 Oven finish
Due to the oven casting process and the nature of the materials used, natural
variation between ovens is expected. We believe this adds to the rustic and
individual charm of your oven.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

use a single sheet of scrunched up newspaper and make a small cross sectioned
structure out of kindling positioned around it, as shown in the pictures below.
Step 2
Light the newspaper.
Step 3
Slowly feed the fire with more kindling, make sure not to overfill your Primo, if flames
are protruding out the oven opening, you have overloaded it with wood, wait for the
flames to calm before continuing. Do not attempt to remove any burning material
from the oven.

2.3 Oven Assembly
KEEP OVEN UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.
Step 1
Select position in outdoor space in which to place the oven, ensuring that;
- The base is level
- You adhere to oven clearances (see Oven Clearances section 2.1)
- The position is not likely to cause interference with a neighbour’s
property.
Step 2
If applicable construct the Primo stand with the instructions included or alternatively if
you are constructing your own customized base for your Primo Oven, The Stone
Bake Oven Company strongly advise that you lay the ovens base on a solid
foundation covering the entire surface area of the ovens footprint. If you decide to
lay your own base, you must ensure that it is capable of supporting a weight of at
least 200kg.
WARNING!
Oven assembly and movement require a minimum of 4 adults to reduce the
risk of bodily injury and oven damage. The oven weighs approx 160 kg
broken down into three pieces. Take care during construction.

2. Oven Delivery and Assembly:
2.1 Oven Clearances
It is essential that a clear space is maintained around the outside of the external walls
of the oven. Combustible and non-combustible materials must be kept away from the
oven during and after oven firing. We recommend at least 1200mm above the oven
and 900mm from all sides of the oven.
Beware of flying sparks. If the base framework is used for wood storage it is
recommended to cover the wood storage with a non-combustible material to protect
from flying sparks and heat. Failure to follow instructions may result in fire.
2.2 Oven Delivery
The Primo Oven is easy to assemble and arrives in an inclusive crate:
- The Oven Dome, weighing approx 70kg.
- The Oven Base, two parts, approx 45kg each.

1.3 Soot
After first use, your oven may become blackened in parts, this is due to soot accumu-
lation. This is a normal expectation of any wood fired oven.
1.4 Fine Cracks
Naturally, due to the expansion and contraction of the oven during operation, as it
heats and cools, the appearance of fine cracks, visible during and after operation is
expected. This WILL NOT affect the longevity and effectiveness of your Stone Bake
Oven.
1.5 Reinforcement Fibres
Please be aware of the potential for fine steel fibres to protrude from the oven base
or dome, take care and consideration when maneuvering, or using.
1.5 Oven Maintenance
The Primo Oven boasts very little cleaning and maintenance as all spilled and stuck
on food can either be removed by the pizza peel (see Tools section 3.4), or will be
burnt off by the heat achieved inside the oven. All that is required is to cover the
oven once cool, for protection against the elements and empty out ashes before next
firing in a safe way (see How to dispose of ashes safely 3.3).

Bake recipes! Visit us online at www.thestonebakeovencompany.co.uk, let us know
your experiences in the comments section in the news area or follow us on facebook
or twitter!

Bake Oven is capable of cooking many dishes from all around the world, again and
again, from savory to sweet, your imagination is your only limitation. Its easy, no fuss,
and you can cut washing and cleaning times in half, due to the ‘self clean’ nature of
your oven.

5. Fire Precautions
We recommend that whenever the oven is used, a water fire extinguisher of at least
9 litres capacity (to deal with any fire in the vicinity around the oven) and a bucket of
sand are positioned in a readily accessible location. Although we have tested the
use of fire extinguishers on the oven with no adverse affect, we recommend that in
the case of emergency, only sand is used to knock down any fire within the oven. To
reduce risk of oven damage. In order to satisfy UK Fire Safety legislation, we strongly
suggest that anyone who might need to tackle a fire should be adequately trained
by a fire safety professional.

3.2.2. How to make a fire in Autumn and Winter
It is imperative that your Primo Oven is covered in between firings by your Stone
Bake Oven Cover. This protects your oven from weather conditions. Failure to do so
may void your oven warranty. Slow and steady start up fires are required when using
your oven during autumn and winter. This can be done by purchasing a “Fire Log”
found in many supermarkets and retailers. Lighting a “Fire Log” ensures a small slow
fire at a stable rising temperature. Do this over 30 minutes then resume with the
regular firing technique of the oven (see 3.2.1 How To Make a Fire). Failure to light
the oven slowly at a gradually increasing temperature may cause oven damage and
may void oven warranty.
3.3 How to Dispose of Ashes Safely
Ashes from your stone bake oven can still be a fire risk up to 24 hours after firing,
even when the oven appears completely cool. Ensure you wait for the oven to cool
then remove ashes using tools and place in a metal bucket with sealable lid away
from combustible materials.
3.4 Tools
To run your oven safely and effectively it is essential to use the correct tools. These
may be purchased online from The Stone Bake Oven Company.
3.5 The Primo Oven Door
Warning: HOT SURFACE, HANDLE WITH GLOVES, HANDLE WITH CARE.
An Aluminium door is provided with the purchase of your Primo Oven. This additional
extra broadens the capabilites of your oven and enables it to retain heat for cooking
over longer periods. Please the oven door in the oven opening for specialist dishes
including casseroles, roasts and more.
When maneuvering, DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACE, this will be very hot. Use
ovenproof gloves to maneuver oven door whilst gripping wooden handles. Place on
a non-combustable surface and keep away from children.

Step 4
Soon your Primo will have reached its optimum cooking temperature, you can tell this
by either using an infrared laser thermometer or alternatively, the sooty build up
within the dome will diminish away from the dome once the oven has reached its
optimum cooking temperature.
Step 5
You are ready to cook your first ever meal in your Stone Bake Oven. Take care
when placing, moving and removing the food within the oven. Move the embers to
one side to expose an area of cooking surface to place the food. We advise the
constant revolving of food whilst in the oven, to prevent burnt edges and to ensure
even
cooking.
Step 6
Depending on the dishes and delicacies cooked, maintain the fire or leave to calm.
Ensure adequate and safe disposal of hot and cold ashes. (see 3.3 How to dispose of
ashes safely)
Sweep embers to the side Start cooking

Step 1
- Remove all contents from box and neatly lay out on floor.
- Carefully peel the protective wrap off each component of your Primo Stand.
- Make sure the you are erecting the stand on a flat surface.
Step 2
Set aside:
4x Legs, 4x Corner Connectors, 8x RHD Bolts and 8x M8 Nuts
- Align the four holes in the top of the “Legs” with the four holes in
the “Corner Connector”.
- Once Holes are aligned, place the first RHD Bolt through the
first hole, then twist the M8 Nut onto the RHD Bolt but do not
tighten, as shown on the right.
- Repeat this process with three remaining RHD Bolts and M8 Nuts.
- Once all four RHD Bolts have been successfully positioned with
M8 Nuts loosely fixed, you are then able to tighten fully with the
Spanner and the Hex Key supplied (as shown on the right).
- Make sure you use the tools provided to tighten each bolt
adequately, failure to tighten adequately may jeopardise the
stands stability.
- Once you have completed the first “Leg” and “Corner Connector”
fastening, repeat the exact process with the remaining three
“Legs” and “Corner Connectors”.
Step 3
- Align the “Top Long” component holes with matching holes in the
“Corner Connector” that is attached to the “Leg”.
- Use the CSK Bolt through the aligned holes and apply the M8 Nut,
twist until secured but do not fully tighten.
- Repeat the process, as shown below.
- Repeat the same process with the other ”Top Long” component and the
“Corner Connectors” attached to the “Legs”

Step 4
- Connect the two “Top Short” components to the
“Corner Connecters” (as shown on the right) with the
CSK Bolt, fastening with the M8 Nut. Do not fully tighten,
just secure by hand for the moment.
- With the still unfastened ends of the “Top Short”
components, align with the “Corner Connectors” that house
the other “Top Long” component that was earlier fastened
to complete a square frame. Again do not fully tighten, just
secure by hand.
- Once you have connected all your “Top” components, you are able to
stand your Primo Stand upright to complete the remaining part of the
erection (as shown on the right).
- Take the “Bottom Long” components and attach through the aligned
holes at the bottom end of the “Leg” with the RHD Bolts and the
M8 Nuts, make sure these components correspond to the “Top Long”
Components otherwise the stand will not be square. Do not fully tighten.
- Repeat this process with the “Bottom Short” components, double checking
that the “Long” and “Short” components on the top and bottom correspond.
- Once fully erected, you are able to start to fully tighten with the
Spanner and Hex Key provided (as shown on the right).
Only place your Primo Oven within
your Primo Stand when it has been
fully erected and fully secured using
the tools provided.
The Primo Stand is fully
weatherproof, made from stainless
steel. There is no need to treat your
stand from the elements.
