is increased. Carefully follow all instructions, including the following:
•
To reduce the risk of fire, burns or other injury, read this manual thoroughly.
Begin by ensuring proper installation and servicing. Do not repair or replace any
part of the pizza oven yourself unless it is specifically recommended in manual.
All other service must be carried out by a licensed gas technician.

When the burners are on the oven will become very hot quickly. Use caution
when making contact with any part of the oven. The surfaces of the oven will
become extremely hot and may cause severe burns. It is recommended that care
be taken when touching any part of the oven while operating.
•
The oven will retain heat after the burners have been turned off, especially the
cooking stones. Use caution when coming in contact with the oven immediately
after use.
•
Do not use any cleaner, including water, on a hot pizza oven. Never use any
liquids when cleaning the cooking stones.
•
Be sure all control knobs are in the OFF position and the pizza oven is cool before
using any aerosol cleaner on it or near it. The chemical used for aerosol
propellant could ignite in the presence of heat. Never use aerosol cleaner on the
cooking stones.
•
Always use dry pot holders or gloves on hot surfaces or cooking tools: moist
or damp pot holders or gloves may cause steam burns. Never use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot
portions of the pizza oven or allow them to get near the open flame.

Shut the gas supply off to the pizza oven and call a licensed gas
technician to locate and resolve the leak.
