2. ALLOWING MOISTURE INTO THE BAKING STONE

3. PLACING COOL OR COLD FOOD ONTO THE BAKING STONE

4. HANDLING THE STONE TOO MUCH

5. REMOVING THE STONE TOO SOON FROM A HOT OVEN

6. USING TOO MUCH HEAT

• Maintain your stone in your oven at all times. If you like a pretty looking rock, cover it with aluminum foil so drips from other things don’t discolor it.

• Always place a rock into a cool stove as well as do a long pre-heat.

• Decrease handling. Moving in and out of the stove can cause cracking.

• Stay clear of cleaning or oiling a stone. The moisture can create it to split.

• Wait until the rock is entirely chilly before removing it from the oven.

• Don’t place icy pizzas on your pizza stone.

• Utilize a folded up towel and also place it on the counter prior to you taking the rock out of the stove, so the counter will not send your rock right into “thermal shock”.

1. The PIZZELLO FORTE GAS is designed for outdoor use only. It must always be placed outdoors, away from structures and never inside a building or a garage or in proximity to any enclosed area. Place your oven on a sturdy, level, stable, and non-flammable surface and keep it clear and free from flammable or combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

2. Be aware of any local laws or regulations that may specify a required distance between outdoor cookers and any structures, or that may limit outdoor flame of any type during drought or hazard periods.

3. Do not install or use your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS in or on boats or recreational vehicles.

4. Do not use your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS in high winds.

5. Your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS is not intended to be, and should never be used as a heater.

6. Toxic fumes can accumulate and may cause asphyxiation.

7. Flames can blow outside of the metal enclosure at the back where the fire is, from the top of the hatch when the lid is opened, from the front of the oven when you open the door, or from the top of the chimney.

8. Please keep away from the openings of the PIZZELLO FORTE GAS and warn others around you to do so as well.

9. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance of your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS may cause injury or property damage. Therefore, do not use your pizza oven unless it is completely assembled and all parts are securely fastened and tightened.

10. Your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS should be inspected on a regular basis.

11. When using the pellet burner: The recommended pellet length should be no longer than 1.25” (3cm). Longer pellets have a slower feed rate which can cause your pizza oven to burn colder. Only use pellets intended for use in cooking.

Do not use the pizza oven in a confined and/or habitable space e.g. houses, tents, caravans, motor homes, boats. Danger of carbon monoxide poisoning fatality.

12. When using the charcoal/wood burner: Add the kindling gradually to reach an optimum temperature. Adding too much kindling will enlarge the fire, risking damage to you or your pizza oven.

13. When using the gas burner: If the flame goes out, turn off the gas supply, open the door and wait 5 minutes before relighting.

14. When using your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS, there is a risk for your hands to be burned. Protective heat-resistant gloves should be worn at all times to avoid burns and you should never set hot items on or near combustible surfaces. DO NOT touch any metal parts when your pizza oven is operating. Only touch the wooden handles to open the door and lift the fuel hatch.

15. Never leave your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS unattended. Do not leave it unattended with the lid open while lit. Be aware of hazards (dry leaves, decking and other combustible materials) that may be in proximity to the pizza oven while it is in use as they may present a fire hazard if any sparks are allowed to come into contact with it.

16. Keep all electrical cords away from your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS.

17. The PIZZELLO FORTE GAS is to be used by responsible adults only.

18. Keep children, pets, and combustible items away from your pizza oven at all times.

19. DO NOT attempt to remove any parts or move your PIZZELLO FORTE GAS when it is hot or while cooking.

20. DO NOT leave any hazardous objects such as lighters or barbecue lighting fluid next to your pizza oven. The PIZZELLO FORTE GAS radiates heat in all directions.

DO NOT attempt to use the Gas Pizza Oven if a leak is present. NEVER test for leaks with an open flame. The leak test must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free from any flames or other sources of ignition.

1. With the cylinder connected to the Gas Pizza Oven, open the cylinder valve.

2. Brush the connections (Gas Pizza Oven to cylinder) with a solution of equal parts soap and water (must be foamy).

3. A stream of bubbles forming indicates a gas leak. If bubbles appear, turn the cylinder valve OFF (clockwise) and disconnect the Gas Pizza Oven from the gas cylinder.

4. Tighten the connection and retry the leak test. If you are unsure or if you cannot tighten the connection, place the cylinder outside in a cool, well-ventilated area and contact your dealer or local gas supplier immediately.

To check the burner flame for indication of a gas leak:

Ignite the burner and rotate the knob from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW than in HIGH. Always check the flame prior to each use. A good flame should be blue with minimal yellow tipping. Some yellow tips on flames are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

• Turn off the gas supply at the bottle.

• Extinguish all naked flames.

• DO NOT operate any electrical appliances.

• Check for leaks (see LEAK TEST).

• If odour persists, contact your dealer or local gas supplier immediately.

Step 1: Attach Isolation Plate

Attach the isolation plate (J) to the body (G) with 2 M5 bolts (L). The plate must be installed in the direction shown in the manual; do not turn the direction. The nut part must be backward and close to the burner.

Step 2: Attach Door Handle

Attach the crooked handle (E) to the door (F) with 2 M5 bolts (L).

Step 3: Attach Hopper

Attach the hopper (T) to the pizza oven body (G) with 2 M5 bolts (L).

Step 4: Attach Handles to Hopper Cover and Wood Box

Attach a straight handle (B) to the hopper cover (A) with 2 M5 bolts (L). Attach the other straight handle (B) to the wood box (C) with 2 M5 bolts (L).

Step 5: Insert Hopper Cover and Wood Box

Insert the hopper cover into the hopper. Insert the wood box into the body.

Step 6: Attach Chimney

Attach the chimney (H) to the body (G). Then attach the chimney cap (I) to the chimney (H). To remove the chimney, shake it from side to side and pull it up.

Step 7: Insert Pizza Stone

Put in the pizza stone and put on the door. The oven is now ready for pellet use.

Step A: Remove Wood Box

For gas use, remove the wood box from the oven body.

Step B: Assemble and Attach Gas Burner

Assemble the gas burner’s hanging hook (R) to the gas burner body (M) with 3 M5 screws (L). Then, attach the gas mould onto the back of the oven body with 3 M5 screws (L).

Lighting requires 1 AAA battery (not included).

1. Open the battery cap and put in the battery. Screw the battery cap on clockwise.

2. Check all gas connections for gas leaks before starting your oven.

3. Do not lean over the oven when lighting. Keep your face and body at least 50 cm / 19.6 inches away from the oven door.

4. When lighting the oven, the oven door must be open.

5. The burner control knob must be in the OFF position before turning on the LPG cylinder valve.

6. To ignite, press the knob and turn to the “ON” position. Then turn the knob to low.

7. To ignite the pilot light, press and rotate the knob together with the ignition button that discharges a spark. Lighting the pilot light for the first time can be difficult as it takes time for the air in the connection tube to be expelled and gas to flow out.

This appliance is only suitable for use with LPG and is fitted with a 3.4kPa low pressure regulator. Before use, please check for leaks with a soapy water solution, never a naked flame. The hose should never be twisted or knotted and should not exceed 1.5m.

To connect:

1. Ensure the control knob is in the “OFF” position before connecting it to a gas supply.

2. Connect the oven inlet, located in the lower left quarter of the back plate, to the gas regulator outlet.

3. Ensure the hose is correctly placed and is not being stretched, tied or bent.

4. Ensure the hose is not close to any heat sources, especially that of the Gas Pizza Oven back.

5. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder and tighten by hand until gas tight. The gas regulator is a clockwise threaded gas fitting. Ensure the tank is fully turned off and screw the regulator on to the gas tank valve fitting until tight.

1. After use turn the gas cylinder valve ‘OFF’ and wait for the flame to extinguish.

2. Turn the Gas Pizza Oven off.

3. Remove the connecting regulator from the gas cylinder.

Should you need to change the gas cylinder, ensure that the cylinder valve is closed, the appliance is switched off and there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flames, sparks, etc) nearby before proceeding.

Inspect the gas hose to ensure it is free of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks that could obstruct the free flow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot Gas Pizza Oven parts. Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use. If the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with LPG and which meets the national standards for the country of use. The length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m.

1. Dampen a sponge with lukewarm water. Wring it out thoroughly and wipe the pizza stone clean once to remove production residues.

2. Clean the inside of the oven with water and a mild detergent to remove any production residues.

3. The oven must be burned-in before making your first pizza. Note that the fuel should be glowing for at least 30 minutes.

Always wear fireproof gloves while firing the pizza oven.

1. Remove the firebox and fill it with fitting logs. Put a grill lighter in the middle (Warning! Don’t use liquid starters like spirit or petrol), cover it with a few sticks or thin firing woods and ignite it.

2. Push the firebox into the pizza oven and wait until the wood burns evenly.

3. Place 1-2 logs over the filling shaft and wait until the wood has burnt through, and is covered with a layer of ash and no more smoke escapes from the chimney.

4. When the oven thermometer shows around 400 °C, open the door and push the pizza to the center of the stone. Close the door.

5. Rotate the pizza by 180° once after 45 seconds.

6. You can observe the baking process of your pizza through the damper. Do not open the door during the baking process – otherwise valuable heat is lost.

7. After 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pizza dough, your pizza is ready.

1. Put the coal, briquettes or pellets with the grill lighter into the firebox. As soon as it starts to burn, push the box into the pizza oven.

2. Pile up more coal, briquettes or pellets via the chute.

3. Wait until the coal or briquettes are completely burnt through, covered with a layer of ash and no more smoke escapes from the chimney.

4. When the oven thermometer shows around 400 °C, open the door and push the pizza to the center of the stone. Close the door.

5. Rotate the pizza by 180° once after 45 seconds.

6. You can observe the baking process of your pizza through the damper.

7. After 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pizza dough, your pizza is ready.

The process will work even faster when you burn the coal or briquettes in a separate igniting place and fill the pure ember into the firebox. You can also light your combustible with a blowpipe. In order to do that, fill your firebox with wood, coal, briquettes or pellets. Put the box into the back of the oven and hold the blowpipe from the outside in the box.

Always use fireproof gloves when filling and emptying the firebox.

Thanks to its double stainless steel cover with a wool filling, the inside of the pizza oven will be kept hot constantly for a very long time. If you notice the temperature is dropping, pile up a new charge of combustibles (wood, coal, briquettes or pellets) into the firebox via the filling chute. Until you start baking the next pizza, you must wait until the combustibles have burnt through and no more smoke is rising from the chimney.

1. Close the door and let the oven burn out after use. This process can take up to 4 hours.

2. For quicker storing of the oven put on fireproof gloves, remove the firebox and put the contents into a bucket filled with water. Open the door of the pizza oven and allow the oven to cool completely for about 30 minutes.

1. Allow the oven to cool down completely.

2. Empty the firebox after every use and sweep out the ashes completely with a brush.

3. Both the interior and exterior can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent.

4. If the pizza oven is used regularly, the chimney should be removed and washed out every 4 weeks, to rinse off the soot layer.

1. Remove the pizza stone from the pizza oven and carefully scrape off resin dues from the stone with a hob scraper or a sharp knife.

2. The pizza stone is an object of utility and over time, it will get stains from burnt-in ingredients. This is completely usual and will not interfere with the functioning of the stone. If you want to wash the stone with water, do not use detergent. After washing it with water, let the stone dry in an oven for at least 3 hours at 80°C. You can also leave it to air-dry in a warm spot for 24 hours.

1. The pizza oven comes with 4 foldable stainless steel feet. The oven can be stored and transported easily with the feet folded in. If you don’t use the oven for a long time and if you want to save space, you can also remove the chimney.

2. To prevent rusting and weathering, the pizza oven should always be stored in a dry environment after it has completely cooled down. Cover the oven with a weather-resistant tarpaulin or store it in a cellar or garden house.
