POSITIONING THE OVEN
THE OUTER WALLS OF OVEN MAY REACH
HIGH TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN 50°C / 120°F.
ANY FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD BE KEPT
AT LEAST 1 METRE AWAY FROM THE OVEN.
CAUTION! When being used,
place the oven at a safe distance
from ammable materials
or substances that may be
damaged by heat.
WARNING: Do not light
the oven near trees,
brushwood or dry leaves.
WARNING!
Do not recess the oven!
NO Do not built-in the oven
CAUTION! Put the oven in a
place sheltered from wind or
strong draughts.
WARNING! Place the oven on
a at, stable surface to prevent

OVEN USE
ONLY FOR WOOD VERSION
WARNING: Follow the instructions before turning on the oven.
- Do not use ammable liquids or other fuels to light the oven.
- Make sure that there are no ammable materials near the oven and that the
minimum safety distance is respected.
LIGHTING
1. Make a small pile of wood in the centre of the oven
with small pieces of dry wood.
2. When the wood is well-lit, add two larger logs and move the re to one side.
3. After a few minutes of continuous burning, never
excessive, the temperature of 250°C/482°F will be
reached, burning to a dark soot. This is the moment
the oven is ready to be used.
TURNING OFF
- To turn the oven off, close the oven door and wait for ash to form.
- When the oven has been completely turned off for 30 minutes you can
remove the ashes.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF WOOD
- Use small sized wood pieces that are very dry, above all for lighting.
- Each wood type provides a fragrance to food in a different way, for example
wood from fruit trees is used to give food a more appetising aroma similarly,
maple, walnut and chestnut go well for other foods like meat.
- Treated wood, resin or scrap wood are strictly excluded.
- Wet or damp wood can pop due to the increased volume of water. This will
produce a lot of smoke and less heat.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
-Do not exceed the temperature limit of 450°C / 840°F
-Do not leave the oven unattended when the re is going.
-To keep constant temp, throw in small quantities of rewood at regular
intervals; do not keep adding more logs to avoid a dangerous rise
in temperature or ames spilling out of the oven that might damage
people or things.
14
OVEN USE
ONLY FOR GAS VERSION
WARNING: Follow the instructions before turning on the oven.
- Check all gas connections for gas leak before starting your oven.
- Do not lean over the oven when lighting. Keep your face and body at least
50 cm / 19,6 inches far from the oven door,
- When lighting the oven, the oven door must be open.
- The burner control knob must be in the off position before turning on the
LGP cylinder valve.
- Do not move the oven while it is in use.
1. To ignite the pilot light, press and rotate the knob together
with the piezo ignition button that discharges a spark to
ignite the pilot light. To extinguish the ame on the main
burner and leave only the pilot light on, turn the knob to
the star. If the ame does not light, release the knob back
to “zero position”, wait for about 3 minutes and repeat the
lighting procedure.
2. Press and rotate the knob anti-clockwise and turn it on high ame;
3. Press and rotate the knob and position it on low ame;
4. To turn the main burner and the pilot light off completely, turn the knob to the dot.
In the rst few times it may be necessary to keep pressed
the knob to the ON position for a few minutes in order to
drain the gas inside the piping.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
- Never run at maximum for more than 40 minutes.
- Do not close the door when the oven is lit with the ame at the
maximum position.
- Do not exceed the temperature limit of 450°C / 840°F.
- Never disconnect the gas pipe or other ttings when using the oven.
15
350 °C
COOKING
- Always preheat the oven before cooking; heat for 15 minutes, or until the
thermometer reaches 350-400°C / 660-750°F; once the temperature has
been reached, wait a few minutes for it to stabilise to ensure that the oven
oor warms up properly.
- Calculate longer cooking time for cold or ventilated days or high
altitudes. Calculate a shorter cooking time if the external temperature is
particularly high.
- Cooking times vary according to weather conditions or the amount,
dimensions and shape of the food to be cooked.

ADVICE FOR COOKING PIZZA
- Wait for around 15 minutes after lighting the oven with a high quantity of wood
to reach the optimum temperature for cooking an excellent Neapolitan pizza
(with an increased level of moisture):
- Air temperature of 400°C/750°F,
- Refractory oor temperature of 350°C/660°F.
- Once the optimum temperature is reached,
- FOR THE WOOD-FIRED OVEN: just add some logs every 3-5 minutes to
maintain constant temperature and churn out pizzas back to back,
- FOR THE GAS-FIRED OVEN: adjust the ame and churn out pizzas back to
back.
- Check that there is no build-up of grease, and, if present, remove to prevent the
grease from catching re.
- During cooking do not lean over the open oven and do not place hands or ngers
on the front edge of the oven.
16
- During cooking the oven will have high temperatures, therefore, it should never
be moved or left unattended.
PYROMETER
- The pyrometer detects the temperature at a point inside the oven. The value
detected by the pyrometer is therefore indicative. With experience it will be easy
to better assess when the oven is ready for various types of cooking. You will
acquire, therefore, complete control of the oven and you will become very adept at
choosing the cooking temperature.
OVEN DOOR
- The door is very effective at adjusting heat intensity: by closing and opening it the
temperature may be better managed.
- ONLY WOOD VERSION: If the re is too high and comes out from the oven mouth,
use the door to adjust the ame.
17
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
MAINTENANCE
- For proper maintenance of the oven, make sure before you turn it on
that the chimney ue is free from any objects and that ash from previous
cooking has been removed.
- The oven can be used all year round; in the winter, heat the oven with a
smaller re to avoid thermal shock due to the humidity.
- Prevent corrosion by coating the oven metal parts with Vaseline.
- It is recommended regular maintenance by a qualied technician.
- Thermometer - clean with warm water and soap with a soft plastic
scouring pad.
- Stainless steel surfaces - wash with a soft cloth and a solution of soap and
water. Make sure to rub following the grain of the stainless steel. Never use
detergents containing acid, white spirit or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning
the oven.
CLEANING
- Clean the oven oor (when the oven is cold) with a brush and gently wipe
the oven oor with a damp cloth.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the external sheet.
- Apply a light coat of vaseline to make the metal shine.
- Remove and clean the chimney ue once a year; animals may nest there
and/or ash may block the passage of smoke.
- If traces of rust begin to appear, clean with a polishing brush and apply a
thin coat of vaseline.
- Do not use chemical products to clean the oven.
- Do not clean the product when it is in use.
- If the oven is exposed in a sea side, in order to prevent corrosion and
fouling, it is recommended to frequently clean the oven with fresh water.
STORING THE OVEN
- During periods of inactivity is advised to clean carrefully the oven, grease
the metal parts and cover it with the cover Alfa available on request.
- On the rst use, inspect for potential signs of malfunction.
18
ONLY FOR WOOD VERSION
CLEANING
- When the re has gone out and the oven is not hot enough, collect the
ashes left over from previous cooking with a metallic brush and a pan.
ONLY FOR GAS VERSION
MAINTENANCE
- The gas burner should be cleaned periodically by carefully sucking up any
cooking residues.
- When cleaning valves and burners, be careful not to damage the burner.
- Remove any residues from the burners with a brush.
- Do not enlarge burner holes (openings).
GAS KIT DISASSEMBLY
- The gas burner should be cleaned periodically by carefully sucking up any
cooking residues.
- When cleaning valves and burners, be careful not to damage the burner.
- Before cleaning is necessary to remove the burner from the oven by
following the procedure in the assembly instructions.
STORING THE OVEN
- If the gas oven is not used close the supply valve of the gas cylinder.
- If the gas oven is placed in a closed space, disconnect the gas supply. The
gas cylinder must be left outside in a well-ventilated area.
- In the event that the cylinder is not removed from gas oven, place the
entire device and the cylinder in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
- The gas cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area and
out of the reach of children. Cylinders not in use must not be stored in a
building, garage or other enclosed space.
