Safe Operation
WARNING: When in use, portions of your pizza oven get hot enough to cause severe
burns. Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in the area where the
pizza oven is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the pizza
oven.
IMPORTANT: Improper use or installation is dangerous. Because this pizza oven produces
intense heat, the risk of accidents or potential injuries is increased. Extreme care must be
taken. Carefully follow all instructions, including the following:
To reduce the risk of fire, burns or other injury, read this Use and Care Guide 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 this Use and Care Guide. All other service must be carried out by a qualified
gas technician.
Never allow children to operate the pizza oven. Do not store items of interest to children in or around the
pizza oven.
Do not heat unopened food containers in the pizza oven. The build up of pressure resulting from the heat
may cause the container to burst.
Never lean on any part of the pizza oven. When lighting the pizza oven, always pay close attention to what
you are doing. Make sure you are aware of which burner you are lighting and can see whether or not it is
lit. Make sure you have ready access to the ignition button and burner valves when you are lighting the
burner. Make sure you are pushing the ignition button when you attempt to light the burner.
When the burners are on or the oven is still hot, do not touch the cooking deck, any part of the oven’s
interior or any surface near the open front of the pizza oven. These areas become extremely hot and may
cause severe burns. The surfaces and trim above the oven door opening become particularly hot. Likewise,
do not touch any part of the pizza oven chimney.
Do not use any cleaner, including water, on a hot pizza oven. Never use any liquids when cleaning the
cooking deck.
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 deck.
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.
Pizza oven must be locked into position. (Figure 23)
Do not operate the pizza oven under an unprotected combustible construction. Use only in a well-
ventilated area. The oven is for outdoor use only.
KalamazooGourmet.com6
Safe Operation CONTINUED
Do not obstruct any of the openings on the pizza oven or otherwise obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. See installation clearances specifications for proper installation (Figure 10).
Keep all gas hoses away from the hot surfaces of the pizza oven, including all external surfaces of the unit.
Keep all electrical cords away from the hot surfaces of the pizza oven.
Ensure proper installation and servicing by following all instructions in this Use and Care Guide and any
other instructions or markings provided with this product. Have your pizza oven installed by a qualified
technician. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut off valve is located and instruct you in its
operation so that you can shut off the gas to the pizza oven.
If you smell gas, there is likely a problem with the installation. If the connections are not perfectly sealed,
you can have a small leak resulting in the faint smell of gas -- even if the pizza oven appears to be working
properly. Close the gas supply shut off valve and call a qualified technician to locate and resolve the leak.
California Proposition 65 Warning:
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products that are on the
list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires business’s to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate the pizza oven according to this Use and Care Guide and ensure you provide
good ventilation when cooking with gas.

Important LP Tank Safety Information
A liquid propane cylinder should never be “overfilled” beyond the cylinder filling capacity.
“Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition.
“Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. The standard safety device on tanks is the
safety relief valve. This valve vents propane gas vapors to relieve excess pressure. These
vapors are combustible and can be ignited.
To avoid risk of fire or explosion, take the following safety precautions:
Never replace the liquid propane regulator or hose with a different type than the model supplied.
Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.
Never connect the pizza oven to anything other than the fuel source indicated on the serial plate. Factory
conversion kits are available for switching fuel sources. Contact Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet or an
authorized dealer for details. Conversion kit installation must be done by a qualified technician.
The LP-gas cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve from damage.
Ensure proper ventilation of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
The LP-gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP-gas cylinders, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the standard for Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
When the pizza oven is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
The pizza oven may be stored indoors, but only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the oven.
An LP cylinder MUST NEVER BE STORED INDOORS.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the pizza oven must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be the type specified by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. For
replacement parts, contact Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet customer service at 1.800.868.1699.
DANGER:
A. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance;
B. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and
C. If instructions A and B are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.

LP Tank Safety Information CONTINUED
Required ventilation for built-in LP-gas cylinder structures:
An enclosure for an LP-gas cylinder shall be ventilated by openings at both the upper and lower levels of the
enclosure. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for purposes of ventilation shall be determined with the LP-gas
supply cylinder in place. This shall be accompanied by one of the following:
a. One side of the enclosure shall be completely open; or
b. For an enclosure having four sides, a top and a bottom (see Figure 1):
1. At least two ventilation openings shall be provided in the side walls of the enclosure, located within
5 in (217 mm) of the top of the enclosure, equally sized, spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees (1.57 rad),
and unobstructed. The opening(s) shall have a total free area of not less than 1 in2/lb (14.2 cm2/kg) of
stored fuel capacity.
2. Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor level of the enclosure and shall have a total free area
of not less than 1/2 in2/lb (7.1 cm2/kg) of stored fuel capacity. If ventilation openings at floor level are
in a side wall, there shall be at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be 1 in (25.4 mm)
or less from the floor level and the upper edge no more than 5 in (127 mm) above the floor level. The
openings shall be equally sized, spaced at a minimum of 90 degrees and unobstructed.
3. Every opening shall be a minimum of a 1/8 in (3.2 mm) diameter.
4. Ventilation openings in side walls shall not communicate directly with other enclosures of the outdoor
cooking gas appliance.
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debrs.
In a built-in construction where an LP tank is going to be used, there MUST be some type of support
(braces, cutout, etc.) to prevent tank from moving within the installation. The support must also allow LP
tank to withstand a horizontal tipping force equal to the weight of the tank without tipping over. The tank
can not tip over or deflect more than 1” when a 20 lb. force is applied at the center of the tank.

Liquid Propane Gas Requirements
(20-Pound Cylinder)
Verify the type of gas your pizza oven has been configured for by the factory by checking
the serial plate on the back of the oven. Pizza ovens configured for liquid propane (LP) gas
are orificed differently than ovens configured for natural gas (NG). Pizza ovens configured
for use with a standard 20-pound LP cylinders equipped with a Type 1, QCC-1 valve,
are shipped with an dual-stage LP regulator hose assembly. LP regulator hose assembly
(included) connects to the pizza oven via a 0.375" flare fitting.
Operating Pressure: 11.0" W.C.
To connect the LP regulator hose assembly to the LP tank, first make sure the main valve on the tank is
completely closed. Make sure also that the control valves on the front of the pizza oven are OFF.
Thread the regulator inlet over the tank valve. Use care to ensure proper alignment of the threaded coupler
and avoid cross-threading or damaging the coupler. Turn the black coupler clockwise until tightened up, but
do not over-tighten.
IMPORTANT: Always close the main valve on the
tank before disconnecting or transporting the tank.
IMPORTANT: After connecting a fresh LP tank,
you may need to purge air from the system. Before
lighting, open the main valve on the tank. Turn
the control valves on the pizza oven to the HIGH
position for about 15 seconds to purge air from the
system. Turn the control valves on the pizza oven
OFF and wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear. Finally,
continue with the normal lighting procedure.

Leak Testing
Although gas connections on the pizza oven are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment,
a complete test must be performed after installation due to possible mishandling during
shipping or installation.
Periodic checks are also recommended. Immediately check for leaks if you smell gas.
Never use an open flame to look for leaks.
Before Testing: Extinguish all open flames. Do not smoke.
You will need a spray bottle, a brush or a rag. For LP units using a 20-pound cylinder, a full cylinder should be
used.
IMPORTANT: Homeowners should only check for leaks on the gas connections that are external to the pizza
oven. If the valves or other internal connections need to be checked, please call a qualified technician or
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet customer service at 1.800.868.1699.
To Conduct the Test:
Make a soap solution of one part liquid dish soap and one part water.
Make sure both pizza oven control valves are in the OFF position. Turn the gas supply ON. Use a spray bottle,
brush or rag to apply the mild soap solution to all connections from the supply line or LP cylinder to the
connection on the back of the pizza oven. Check all connections. Soap bubbles will appear at any connections
with a leak. Turn OFF the gas supply and tighten any leaky connections. Recheck, applying more mild soap
solution.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the pizza oven until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
1.800.868.1699 13
Pizza Oven Location
The built-in version of the Artisan Fire Pizza Oven is designed for installation within a noncombustible outdoor structure.
Choosing a Location: This pizza oven is for outdoor use only.
Do not place the pizza oven in a location where the door opening is likely to be exposed to strong wind.
Do not place the pizza oven where it is likely to be bumped into or inadvertently touched by passers by. The
exterior surface of the pizza oven can become extremely hot.
Never locate the pizza oven in a building, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas.
The pizza oven is not intended to be installed in or on a boat or recreational vehicle.
For ease of use and safe operation, it is recommended the cooking deck height of the installed oven be not
less than 42 inches above the ground.
IMPORTANT: The built-in pizza oven requires clearance between the oven
and the interior of the non-combustible structure in which it is installed. 6
inches clearance is required around the sides and back. 24 inches clearance
is required above. The front face of the oven will be installed with zero
clearance to the front wall of the structure. Please note the top wall of the
front opening (the lintel) in the structure may not be more than 5 inches thick.
Access below the oven within the structure is required.
DANGER:
Do not route the gas supply hose
or locate a propane cylinder in a
way that may create a tripping
hazard. Tripping over, or getting
caught on, a gas supply hose may
cause serious risk of injury and
fire.
KalamazooGourmet.com14
Key Considerations for Installation
The non-combustible structure can be built using masonry techniques, or with steel framing
and cement board panels. Following are a few key considerations:
The oven liner is permanently installed in the structure and may be difficult, if not impossible, to
remove once the installation is complete.
The oven can be slid out of the oven liner for easy care and maintenance. No tools are required.
Access below the oven is required for connecting the gas, and for releasing the oven from the liner
to slide it out. An access door designed to match the oven is available from Kalamazoo Outdoor
Gourmet.
An installer-supplied gas shutoff valve is required for bulk gases at the connection point in the access
space below the oven.
Installer-supplied venting duct work is required. Duct attaches to the top of the oven liner. A
double-wall insulated grease duct is strongly recommended. Kalamazoo provides a mounting collar
designed for easy connection to Metal-Fab, Inc. G-Series 6-inch (inner diameter) Grease Duct system.
Connecting to other systems may require additional work by your installer. The duct should be topped
with an appropriate rain cap.
The oven liner is to sit on top of, and be screwed down into, a pair of supports that should run from
front-to-back in the non-combustible enclosure. See Figure 10 for dimensions.
The oven liner should NOT be screwed into the supports until the front fascia of the non-combustible
structure is completely finished. Once finished, slide the oven liner into position flush with the finished
face of the enclosure, then screw it securely into the supports.
The trim pieces cover the perimeter of the oven liner opening in the non-combustible structure. These
trim pieces look best when mounted over regular surfaces. Severely irregular surfaces may need
alteration for a clean appearance.
The lintel above the pizza oven opening in the non-combustible structure has a maximum depth of 5
inches from the finished face of the structure. See Figure 10.
Between the oven liner and the interior walls of the non-combustible structure, the following
clearances are required:
Front face opening is zero clearance.
Support structure below is zero clearance where the liner mounts to the supports.
Sides and back require 6 inches clearance.
Top requires 24 inches clearance.
Clearance to double-wall insulated grease duct is determined by duct manufacturer’s
specifications.
The front face of the oven, especially including the trim above the oven door opening, can
become very hot.
The finished wall of the non-combustible structure above the oven can also become hot.
Choose finish materials with this in mind. The finish, like the structure itself, must be non-
combustible.
