Always keep the gas cylinder in the upright position at all times.

A leak test must be repeated each time the LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled. Perform this test outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.

STEPS FOR LEAK TEST:

1. Use a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Do not use household cleaning agents.

2. Ensure the LP tank valve and all burners are in the OFF position.

3. Connect the regulator to the pizza oven and the LP tank to the regulator. Ensure connections are secure, then open the LP tank valve. If you hear a rushing sound, disconnect the LP tank immediately as there could be a leak. Reconnect and try again.

4. Spray or brush the soap water solution covering the connections between the regulator, hose, and cylinder.

5. Bubbles that occur on any of the parts and connections indicate a gas leak. Immediately disconnect the LP tank. Re-tighten the connections or order replacement parts as needed.

6. Continue to test as necessary until no leaks are detected. If a leak cannot be rectified, consult your gas dealer.

7. Disconnect the LP tank from the oven after testing.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD THE VALVE REMAIN IN THE ON POSITION FOR MORE THAN 12 SECONDS.

1. Read the instructions before lighting.

2. If the burner does not ignite in 5 seconds, turn the regulator valve off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.

3. Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the appliance if the odor of gas is present.

DO NOT LEAVE THE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.

1. Turn the control knob to the OFF position.

2. Turn the gas supply on at the LP cylinder valve or at the regulator.

3. Push in the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the HI position. A click should be heard and the burner will light.

4. If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to the OFF position, wait for 5 minutes before attempting to relight the burner.

5. If the burner ignites, turn the control knobs to the temperature setting required for your food.

Should the burners still fail to ignite, check the gas supply.

1. If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts with the control knob, you can light it with a match.

2. After attempting to light the burner with the control knob, wait for 5 minutes to allow any gas to dissipate.

3. Place a match in the match holder, light it, and carefully insert it through the oven opening to the burner.

4. Slowly turn the control knob to the HI position, and the burner should ignite immediately.

5. If the burner does not light within a few seconds, turn off the control knob, wait 5 minutes, and try again.

1. Turn off the gas supply at the LP cylinder by turning the valve clockwise to a full stop.

2. Turn off the regulator by turning the valve counterclockwise to a full stop.

For shutdown before storage, turn the burner control knob to the OFF position, close the LP cylinder, and disconnect the hose and regulator from the LP cylinder.

Light the burner and adjust the flame with the regulator control valve until the desired flame is achieved. Always check the flame prior to each use. A blue flame with little or no yellow flame provides the best heat. A flame with more yellow indicates a “Bad” flame, while a mostly blue flame is “Good”.

Yes, please follow these warnings:

1. DO NOT place the pizza stone directly over an open flame.

2. DO NOT put frozen food onto a hot stone.

3. The stone is delicate and may crack if it is bumped or dropped.

4. The stone gets very hot during use and remains hot for an extended period after use.

5. Do not use water to cool down the stone when it’s hot.

Curing the pizza stone is a crucial step for your ROYAL GOURMET GP1301, and it only needs to be completed once. This process helps minimize the risk of the stone cracking. To cure the stone, follow these steps:

1. Preheat the oven to its maximum temperature.

2. Maintain this temperature for approximately 30 minutes.

3. Turn the oven control knob to the OFF position and let the oven cool naturally. After it has fully cooled, you are ready to reheat the oven and start cooking pizzas.

1. Preheat the oven.

2. Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, adjust the control knobs and manually rotate the pizza stone as needed during the cooking process.

3. Cooking time for pizza may vary depending on the size and thickness of the dough. please adjust the cooking time accordingly.

4. When the pizza reaches your desired level of doneness, carefully remove it from the oven.

WARNING: DO NOT move the appliance when in use. Let the appliance cool to 115°F (46°C) before moving or storing it. DO NOT touch the outer shell, pizza stone or immediate surroundings when in use.

Clean the entire appliance regularly and tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1-2 times a year or more depending on usage). Cleaning should be done using detergents that won’t harm the patio, lawn, or the environment.

CLEANING STEPS:

1. Make sure the appliance is completely disconnected from the propane cylinder prior to any cleaning. Check that there is no flame, gas smell, and the valve is in the off position.

2. Before removing the pizza stone, let it completely cool down to 115 °F (46 °C). As a precaution, use protective heat resistant gloves.

3. Use a bench scraper, spatula, dry cloth or paper towel to gently remove any leftover dough or food particles from the surface. Do not use water at this point, as the stone is porous and will absorb moisture. If there are still food residues on the pizza stone, turn the control knob to the HI position and let it run for 30 minutes. Afterward, scrape away the remaining debris.

4. If there are tough stains or grease, lightly dampen a cloth with water (ensure it’s not too wet) and gently clean the surface. Do not soak the stone, as too much water can impact its performance.

5. Confirm that all components are completely dry before using or placing in storage.

NOTE: Do not use soap or harsh cleaning products, as the stone can absorb them, potentially altering the flavor of your pizza.

CAUTION: Check the burner and manifold tube for insect nests. A clogged tube can obstruct proper gas flow and can result in fire beneath the cooking appliances. Prevent blockages by inspecting and cleaning the burner and manifold tube regularly.

1. Clean your appliance before storage. Store at a cool dry place.

2. Storage of your appliance indoors is permissible only if the LP cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.

3. A cover is highly recommended to protect your appliance.

4. Perform a Leak Test before using the appliance after it has been kept in storage for some time.

Tools needed for assembly are a Phillips screwdriver and a wrench (not included). Approximate assembly time is 5 minutes.

This is likely caused by too much grease buildup in the burner area. Turn off the LP cylinder and let the flames burn out. After the oven has cooled, remove any food particles and excess grease from the interior and other surfaces.

If the burner will not light using the ignitor, check for the following possible causes and solutions:

Gas Issues:

1. Trying to light wrong burner: See instructions on control panel.

2. Burner not engaged with control valve: Make sure valves are positioned inside the burner tubes.

3. Obstruction in burner: Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other material; see cleaning section in Cleaning and Maintenance.

4. No gas flow: Make sure LP cylinder is not empty.

5. Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP cylinder: Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder. Reconnect and retry.

6. Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully connected: Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters.

Electrical Issues:

1. Electrode cracked or broken: Replace electrode.

2. Electrode tip not in proper position: Tip of electrode should be pointing toward the port hole in the burner. The distance should be 1/8″ to 3/16″. Adjust if necessary.

3. Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking residue: Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and a clean swab.

4. Wires are loose or disconnected: Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.

5. Wires are short-circuited between ignitor and electrode: Replace ignitor wire.

6. Push button sticks at bottom: Replace ignitor.

Possible causes include grease buildup, excessive fat in meat, or excessive cooking temperature. To resolve this, clean the burner and inside of the oven, and trim fat from meat before baking.

This can be caused by high or gusting winds, low LP gas, or an excess flow valve that has tripped. Turn the front of the oven to face the wind, increase the flame height, or refill the LP cylinder.

This is caused by grease trapped by food buildup around the burner system. Turn the knob to the OFF position and turn off the gas at the LP cylinder. Allow the flames to extinguish. Once the oven has cooled, remove and clean all components.

Flashback is caused by blocked burner and burner tubes. Turn the knobs to OFF. Clean the burner and/or burner tubes as described in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.

Some dealers have older fill nozzles with worn threads. When turning worn nozzles, they don’t have enough “bite” to engage the valve. Try a different LP dealer.
