Using Pellets:
•Only wood pellets should be burnt in this pizza oven.
•Lightweight, and super efficient, cooking with pellets gives you a wood-
fired experience with minimal fuss.
•You can use either softwood or hardwood pellets; both are fine.
•Pellets have a low moisture content and the result is a small amount of
ash left over after you finish cooking.
•Always store your pellets in an airtight container. If left open, moisture
from the atmosphere can be absorbed by the pellets which will affect
their burn.
STEP 1
Remove the hopper shovel (C) from the top of the chimney pipe (B) and
make sure the chimney lid (M) is on top of the chimney pipe (B).
STEP 2
Place the oven door (K) into position and make sure to only take it off when
adding or adjusting your food.

Your Pizza Oven
STEP 3
Take out the pellet grid and fire box
assembly (E & G) with the handle (F),
and use the hopper shovel (C) to
place 100% natural wood pellets
inside, to the level shown in the
diagram below (approx. 300g).
STEP 4
Place the fire box assembly (G) onto
an even and non-flammable surface.
Ignite the hardwood pellets with an
igniter or fire starter and wait for
around 45-90 seconds to allow the
fire to spread.

ZPO1BPC 19
STEP 5
Put the pellet grid and fire box
assembly (E & G) into the back of pizza
oven using the handle (F), place the
oven door (K) in position, and close the
lid of the hopper assembly (D). Allow
this to keep burning for around 18
minutes.
STEP 6
Open the lid of the hopper assembly
(D) carefully with the handle (F), and
add more hardwood pellets (approx.
450g) using the hopper shovel (C).
STEP 7
Close lid of the hopper assembly (D)
with the handle (F), and wait for 2-3
minutes. When the flames appear at
the top of the chimney pipe (B) again,
the oven is now ready to cook your
food! Proceed to follow the
instructions featured on the ‘Cooking
with your pizza oven’ page.
STEP 8
Ensure that you top up the pellets little
and often so that they maintain the
same level in the hopper assembly (D).
Maintaining the same level throughout
your cook allows for consistently high
temperatures.

ZPO1BPC
WARNING: Pellets may still be warm and so heat resistant
gloves should be worn when disposing of ash.
WARNING: Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-
lighting. Use only fire-lighters complying to EN 1860-3.

STEP 9
After the burning time exceeds 1 hour, please use the poker (I) to remove
the ash/dust in the ash tray (H), so that the pellets can have appropriate air
venting to continue to burning well.
TO EXTINGUISH
Let the pizza oven burn through any remaining pellets and allow the flames
to come down naturally. Leave the pizza oven to cool completely. Do not
remove ashes until the pizza oven has cooled completely. Once cool, follow
the directions on the ‘Cleaning Instructions’ page.
