OONI KODA 2 MAX UU-P2B800 (01) PDF MANUAL

Turn both control dials to the OFF position before connecting the gas cylinder.

The gas cylinder valve should be in the OFF position.

Make sure the oven control dials are also in the OFF position.

Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove any debris and inspect the hose for damage.

Connect the regulator assembly to the valve, by pushing the regulator onto the valve by rotating the hand nut counterclockwise.

Completely open the cylinder valve by turning the black switch on the regulator anti-clockwise.

For Patio gas regulator: Ensure that the black switch is in the horizontal position, then press the button located below the black switch. Push the regulator onto the gas cylinder valve until it locks into place.

For POL gas regulator: This is an anti-clockwise threaded gas fitting. Ensure the gas cylinder valve is shut completely OFF, then screw the regulator onto the gas cylinder valve fitting until tight.

Using a leak detector spray or a solution of dish soap and water, check for gas leaks every time you reconnect a fitting or replace the gas cylinder.

Use a brush or spray bottle to apply the solution to the connections and regulator. Inspect the gas hose and apply the solution to any cracks you find.

If a leak is present, the solution will bubble. If you observe a leak in the hose fitting, tighten the fitting and recheck for leaks. If the leak persists or a crack in the hose is leaking, do not operate the oven. Contact Ooni support for assistance.

If you find a leak, do not operate the oven; remove the gas cylinder. If the leak is found in the oven or hose, contact Ooni support. If the leak is found in the gas cylinder valve, contact your gas supplier.

Replacement regulators must be certified to EN16129 and hoses to EN16436, with a maximum length of 1.5m.

Turn the gas burner control dials to the OFF position.

Turn the black switch on the regulator clockwise.

Push the button on the regulator to release it from the top of the gas cylinder.

Place the dust cap on the exposed gas cylinder valve when not in use.

Stand to the side when lighting. Never look directly into the mouth of the oven or at the flame.

The left dial controls the left burner; the right dial controls the right burner.

Push and hold either control dial in while slowly rotating anti-clockwise to spark and light the gas. Once lit, continue holding for 5 seconds to maintain the flame.

Verify the gas has ignited.

If the burner does not ignite, switch to the OFF position, wait 5 minutes, then try again.

If the burner does not ignite after the second attempt, switch to the OFF position, wait 5 minutes, then follow step 4.2 (lighting with matchstick holder).

If flames are ignited correctly, they should look like the illustration.

If either or both burners are accidentally extinguished, please refer to troubleshooting.

Never look directly into the oven when lighting; always stand to the side and wear gloves throughout.

If burners will not light after several attempts using the control dials, you may light them with a match. The supplied matchstick holder is attached to the base on the opposite side of the control panel.

If you have already attempted to light the burners using the control dials, switch to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate.

Insert a match into the matchstick holder, ignite the match and touch it to one of the burners through the mouth of the oven.

Push in the control dial that corresponds to the burner and slowly turn it to maximum. The burner should ignite immediately.

Continue pushing the control dial in for 5 seconds after ignition, then release.

If the burner does not light within seconds, turn the control dial OFF, wait 5 minutes, and then try again.

Turn the control dial to adjust the corresponding flame and temperature as needed.

The gas burner is OFF.

The gas burner is set to maximum flame.

The gas burner is set to minimum flame.

Repeat the process (starting at 4.1) to light the second burner.

To turn off, push in the control dial and rotate clockwise until it stops and the corresponding flame extinguishes.

You must season your oven before cooking in it for the first time.

Always wear gloves when putting your hand inside the oven.

To do this, run the oven at top temperature for 30 minutes.

Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely, then wipe down the inside with dry paper towels.

To turn off after seasoning or cooking, push in the control dial and rotate clockwise until it stops and the corresponding flame extinguishes. Repeat for both burners.

Shut off the gas supply and disconnect the regulator.

Turn both burners on at full power to preheat the oven and pizza stones for at least 30 minutes.

Only cook pizza and other dry, bread-based dishes directly on the pizza stone. To cook meat, vegetables or other dishes, use the range of Ooni Cast Iron and Ooni Pans or other Ooni-approved cooking accessories.

The oven is equipped with two independent burners, enabling you to cook on just one side of the oven, on both sides at the same temperature, or on both sides at varying temperatures to accommodate different pizza styles.

Never reach into the oven to clear away food debris that has fallen onto the pizza stone. Leave it to burn out, then remove it once the oven has cooled. Refer to the pizza stone cleaning procedure in the maintenance section of this manual for additional tips.

We strongly recommend using an Ooni Digital Infrared Thermometer to accurately measure the pizza stone temperature. Your pizza stone will heat up slower than the air inside the oven. (To cook great pizza, you need a balance of both.) That’s why it’s important to use an Ooni Digital Infrared Thermometer as well as the Digital Temperature Hub to ensure your pizza stone and air temperatures are within a close range.

Wear protective gloves and make sure your oven is cool.

Open the hinge by using the torx key to loosen the screw counterclockwise.

Using both hands, guide the right-hand side of the visor into the U-shaped bracket at the top right of the oven mouth.

Place the left-hand side of the visor into the recess on the left hinge.

Place your left thumb under the hinge and gently push it upward until it lies flat against the oven body. Hold the hinge in this position.

Use the torx key to tighten the screw clockwise, locking the hinge.

Ensure the hinge is locked into place.

Wear protective gloves and make sure your oven is cool.

Place your left thumb above the screw to support the hinge.

Use the torx key to loosen the screw counterclockwise, unlocking the hinge.

Gently lower the hinge using your left thumb, which will allow the visor to lower.

Use both hands to carefully lift the left-hand side of the visor and pull forward to release the visor from the right bracket.

To close the hinge, place your left thumb under the hinge and gently push it upward until it lies flat against the oven body. Hold the hinge in position and rotate the screw clockwise to lock.

Ensure the hinge is locked into place.

Never attempt cleaning or maintenance while the oven is hot or in use.

Always wear gloves when cleaning the oven.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any part of the oven.

Do not use chemical cleaners on painted surfaces.

Take care when cleaning inside the oven because sharp edges may be present.

Always cover oven when storing outdoors.

After each use, switch off the oven and allow it to cool completely before wiping down the inside surfaces and along the burner tubes with dry paper towels.

If the glass visor is dirty, you can clean it carefully using a damp cloth or dry paper towel. For stubborn stains, remove the visor according to the included instructions (Step 5.1).

The outer shell of Koda 2 Max can be wiped down with warm, soapy water and dried immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaning products or those with harsh chemicals.

Dry immediately and cover with the Koda 2 Max Cover.

Never use chemical cleaners or soaps on the pizza stones. Never expose your pizza stones to water.

There is no need to wash the pizza stones; it is perfectly normal for their appearance to change over time.

Turn the oven on at full power for 45 minutes without cooking in it. The pizza stone will self-clean at high temperatures, and any food residue or debris will turn to ash.

Allow the oven to cool completely, then brush the ash away with an Ooni Pizza Oven Brush.

Note: Your oven pizza stones are symmetrical and double-sided, so you can turn them over between uses (once cool) and burn off any stubborn residue from underneath the next time you cook.

The ignition battery compartment is located inside the rear leg.

Unscrew the cap anti-clockwise to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, paying attention to the +/- directions.

Screw the cap back on clockwise.

Safely dispose of the old battery.

If you are storing the oven for more than a month, remove the battery.

Possible Cause: Improper setup.

Solution: Make sure the oven is set up according to step 1.

Possible Cause: Insufficient gas flow.

Solution: Make sure the gas cylinder contains fuel and is in an upright position; an empty or nearly empty cylinder could affect performance. Check for any kinks in the gas hose.

Possible Cause: Regulator attached incorrectly.

Solution: Make sure the regulator is properly attached to the gas cylinder.

Possible Cause: No spark from ignition.

Solution: Check that the ignition battery is present, inserted correctly and has a charge (step 1.2). Ensure that the sparker cable is inserted properly (step 1.1).

Possible Cause: There’s a spark or audible click, but the gas doesn’t ignite.

Solution: Please contact Ooni customer support. You can also light with a match and the matchstick holder (step 4.2) if necessary.

Possible Cause: The Flame Supervision Device (FSD) is not engaged.

Solution: Closely follow the lighting steps (step 4). Make sure to push and hold the control dial for at least 5 seconds after ignition in order to engage the Flame Supervision Device (FSD).

Possible Cause: The FSD thermocouple is dirty.

Solution: Turn off the gas supply, wait for the oven to cool, gently clean the FSD thermocouple with a damp cloth, and leave it to dry fully before relighting. (You may need to remove the visor for easier access.)

Possible Cause: The FSD thermocouple is faulty.

Solution: If steps 1 and 2 don’t fix the problem, contact Ooni customer support.

Possible Cause: Insufficient gas flow.

Solution: Make sure the gas cylinder contains fuel and is in an upright position; an empty or nearly empty can could affect performance. Check for any kinks in the gas hose.

Possible Cause: Gas cylinder / regulator pressure.

Solution: Select a suitable gas cylinder (step 3) and regulator pressure (as per the rating plate).

Possible Cause: Oven setup and positioning.

Solution: See setup instructions (step 1). Use the oven in an area sheltered from wind, or at least position it so the mouth faces away from any wind.

Possible Cause: Weather conditions.

Solution: Preheat time and maximum temperature can be affected by location and weather conditions. Adjust the expected preheat time to account for varying ambient conditions. If your oven has been exposed to moisture or cold, it may take longer to preheat. Store underneath a waterproof cover and bring the pizza stones indoors during extended periods of non-use.

Possible Cause: Gas burner is backlighting (typically accompanied by a roaring sound).

Solution: Follow the steps to turn off the gas burner, wait 5 minutes, then reignite the oven (step 4.1).

Possible Cause: The visor has been removed.

Solution: Preheat time and maximum temperature can be affected when cooking without the visor. Re-install to ensure temperatures can be reached.

Possible Cause: Burning food debris.

Solution: Refer to the Ooni app for cooking guidelines. Avoid using too much flour to launch your pizza, and remove any food scraps that fall onto the pizza stone. Use an Ooni Pizza Oven Brush to clean the pizza stone between cooks.

Possible Cause: Incorrect setup or incompatible gas cylinder or regulator.

Solution: Ensure your oven is assembled correctly and that you are using the correct gas cylinder (step 3) and regulator (as per the rating plate).

Possible Cause: Blocked gas venturi.

Solution: Contact Ooni customer support.
