For Portable Liquid Propane -Gas Connection
Gas requirements:
the oven is set and tested at the factory for use with LP gas only.
WArNING
Do not attempt to operate your oven on other gases. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a
re hazard and bodily harm. Doing so will void your warranty.
WArNING
The Type 1 connective coupling supplied with
your oven must not be replaced with a different
type of oven/tank connection system. Removal
could result in loss of warranty, gas leakage,
re, and severe bodily harm. Doing so will void
your warranty.
The propane tank valve connection supplied
with this oven incorporates four important safeguards: Hand Assembly, Hand Disassembly,
Excess Flow Control, and Temperature- Activated Shut-Off.
A. HAND ASSEMBLY
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. When connecting the regulator/burner valve as-
sembly to the tank valve, turn the large
plastic nut clockwise until it stops.
3. Gas will not ow unless the plastic nut is com-
pletely connected.
4. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
B. HAND DISASSEMBLY
C. EXCESS FLOW CONTROL
The propane regulator assembly incorporates an ex-
cess ow device designed to supply the oven with suf-
cient gas ow under normal conditions yet control
excess gas ow. Rapid changes in pressure can trigger
the excess ow device providing a low ame and low
temperature. If the tank valve is turned open to allow
gas ow while a burner valve is open, the surge of
pressure will cause the device to activate. The device
will remain closed until the pressure is equalized.
This should occur within 5 seconds. To ensure this
does not cause difculty in lighting the oven, follow
these instructions:
1. Make certain the tank valve and all the appliance
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn the large plastic nut counter-clockwise until it
is disassembled.
3. HAND LOOSEN ONLY.
1. Make sure the burner valve is “OFF”.
2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.
9
Page 10
D. TEMPERATURE-ACTIVATED SHUT-OFF
The large plastic nut on the regulator assembly is
designed in coordination with a check valve in the
tank valve to shut off the ow of gas when exposed
to temperatures between 240°-300° F (115°-148° C).
In the event of a re or hose break, one of the safe-
guards will function to control or stop the ow of gas
from the propane tank. Never attempt to use damaged
equipment.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Before operating your oven or after refueling, check
carefully to be certain that all connections are tight
and there are no gas leaks.
1. Make 3 oz. of leak solution by mixing liquid dish
washing soap with water.
2. Make certain the control knob is in the “OFF”
position on the oven.
3. Brush small amounts of the leak solution on all the
ttings and turn the gas on at the tank.
4. If bubbl es appear, there is a leak. Proceed to step 5.
Liquid Propane (LP) tank safety Information
1. Up to 20 lb. gas cylinder can be used with the
oven. The cylinder must be constructed and
marked in accordance with the Specications
for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard
of Canada, CAN/CSAB339, Cylinders, Spheres,
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods;
and Commission. Storing the appliance indoors
is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected
and removed from the appliance.
2. DO NOT obstruct the ow of combustion and
ventilation air to this appliance.
3. Never use the oven without the crumb tray in-
stalled under the burner area. Without the crumb
tray, hot debris could leak downward and produce
a re hazard.
4. Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near
this appliance.
5. Never ll the cylinder beyond 80% full.
5. T urn the gas o ff at the tank and tighte n c o nnections.
6. Go back to step 1 to retest the ttings.
7. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off at
the tank. Contact customer service.
WArNING
Make certain your LP (propane) tank is lled by
a reputable propane dealer. An incorrectly lled
or an overlled LP tank can be dangerous. The
overlled condition combined with the warning
of the LP tank (a hot summer day, tank left in
the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released
by the pressure relief valve on the tank since
the temperature increase causes the propane
to expand. LP gas released from the tank is
ammable and can be explosive.
The tank supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
Do not store the tanks (whether full or empty)
inside your home, the living area of an R.V., a
garage, basement, or in reach of children or
pets. It is unlikely that liquid propane will leak
from the tanks. If it should leak, the fuel could
be exposed to sparks from automobiles, power
tools, or other appliances. When storing or
transporting your LP tank, it must remain in an
upright position. Never lay your LP tank down
on its side whether it is full or empty. Never
store a spare tank under or near your gas
appliance.
10
The tank used must include a collar to protect
the cylinder valve.
Page 11
CAUtIoN
Never transport or move your oven or oven tank without rst closing the manual valve on your LP
(liquid propane) gas tank.
Gauging Amount of LP (liquid propane) Fuel In tank
To gauge the amount of propane fuel in your gas tank, the oven must be in operation with the tank connected.
Using caution not to get too close to the oven, place your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move down the
side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of propane gas in your
tank; if ¾ empty, rell.
WArNING
Do not use charcoal briquettes or any other ammable material with your oven. Use of such mate-
rial will void your warranty and may lead to a re, explosion, and bodily harm.
WArNING
Never use a match or open ame for leak detection. Use of an open ame could result in a re,
explosion, and bodily harm.
IMPortANt: Before using a fresh tank of gas check leakage around the connections according to
section “Checking Gas Leaks” above and make sure there is no leakage.
IMPortANt: Place dust cap on cyli nder valve outlet whenever cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of
dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.

oPerAtING INstrUCtIoNs
BREAKING IN YOUR OVEN
When ring your oven for the rst time, it is advisable to run the burner on “High” for 20 minutes and
then turn the oven off and let cool to room temperature. This tempers the oven and once cool is ready
for use. Note that each burner has been tested before it left the factory, discoloration of the metal is a
natural result of the material being heated.
OVEN LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
to Light the burner:
1. Make sure the control knob i s in t h e “OFF”
position.
2. Make sure chimney vent in the hood is unob-
structed and rain cover is removed.
3. Open the LP (liquid propane) Gas tank valve.
4. Push the control knob in and turn to the left to
“High” position.
5. If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds,
immediately turn control knob back to “OFF”
position. Wait 5 minutes and repeat step 3 two or
three times.
6. If the burner still does not ignite, TURN OFF
THE GAS. WAIT 5 MINUTES for excess gas to
dissipate.
7. If the burner still can’t be lit, refer to the Trouble-
shooting section.
8. If the burner ame is accidentally extinguished
during cooking repeat steps 1-7.

to 700°F or more for an ambient temperature that
quickly cooks the top of the pizza while the lower
stone temperature carefully crisps the crust.
This balance can be greatly effected by the type of
pizzas you are cooking (crust thickness, amount of
topping) and the weather conditions (outside temperature and wind). Don’t worry if it takes a few pizzas to
get your technique perfected. After all, Rome wasn’t
built in a day!
PREHEATING OVEN
It is extremely important that your oven reach the
ideal baking temperature before you begin using it.
After lighting, run the oven on “High” for 10 minutes,
but no more than 15 minutes. This preheating will
ensure that the internal oven and stone temperatures
are hot enough for proper baking.
9. Keep the tank valve closed when not in use.

COOKING PIZZA
Start/ Preheat Setting Fresh Pizza Setting Frozen Pizza Setting
FRESH PIZZA
If cooking a fresh pizza with raw pizza dough turn
the control knob slightly b etween “Med” and “High”
depending on the weather. Using a peel, place the
pizza in the center of the oven.
Expect the pizza to cook in 5 minutes. The pizza
should be tur ned 180 degrees halfway through for
even cooking. Once cheese is melted and the outer
crust and underside has browned your pizza is done
and the oven is ready for the next pizza.
tips
• Dust the pizza peel with plenty of our, or corn
meal to prevent sticking. Don’t let a fresh, un-
cooked pizza sit on the peel for longer than ve
minutes, as it will stick.
• An aluminum peel prevents sticking best and is
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Check the underside of the pizza 2-3 minutes after
it is in the oven to make sure the stone isn’t getting
too hot. If so, turn the temperature down slightly.
• The thicker the crust, the lower you will want to
set the oven temperature.
of the stone. It is possible to push the pizza off the
back of the stone- take care to center your pizza.
If you need to move the pizza, wait approximately
30 seconds while the dough sets, then move the
pizza to center.
• Protect the oven from wind. Strong wind can
cause the internal temperature to drop. The thermometer needs to stay about 600°F to make perfect pizzas.
• Once a pizza is nished cooking, the oven imme-
diately is ready for another one. Pizzeria Pronto
™
performs best when pizza are cooked successively.
Do not allow the oven to run empty longer than 15
minutes between pizzas as this can also allow the
stone to overheat.
• For camping and tailgating consider using a 1 lb.
disposable propane bottle that typically lasts 2
hours of use.
• Oven temperature will vary with the outside tem-
perature. The oven temperature may need to be
hotter on a cold day or cooler on a hot day, as with
any oven or grill.
• Dough will be much easier to work with if it’s at
room temperature. Leave it out covered at few
hours before cooking.
• When sliding in the raw pizza aim for the center

PIZZACRAFT® DOUGH RECIPE
Ingredients
• 3 cups pizzacraft
®
“00” pizza our
• ½ teaspoon active yeast
• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 ½ cup water
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir
to form a rough, shaggy dough. Use more water if
dough is overly dry and more our if it seems very
wet. Before kneading, allow rough dough to rest
for 10 m i nutes so that the water has time to absorb.
Knead dough in a stand mixer for 6-7 minutes or
10-12 minutes by hand until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a clean bowl and let it rise for
2 hours or until doubled in size. Punch dough to
release gas and divide into 2 or 3 pieces. Shape
dough into balls and place onto a oured mat, cover with plastic wrap and let rise again for approximately one hour. After the second rise, the dough
is ready to be shaped into a pizza and topped with
your favorite i ngredients.
Note: If time allows, let dough rise in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. A slow rise in the refriger-
ator will produce more avorful dough. When you
are ready to use, remove from the refrigerator and
shape into 2 or 3 smaller dough balls. Place onto
a oured mat, cover with plastic wrap and let rise
again for approximately two hours or until it feels
warm to the touch. Shape and top as desired.

PAR-BAKED AND FROZEN PIZZA
For frozen pizza or pizza purchased from a restaurant that was partial ly baked, set the control knob
to “Low”. Set the pizza in the center of the stone. A
much lower heat is required to nish cooking this
type of pizza. Follow the pizza manufacturing instructions.
tips
• Using a pizza screen helps keep the underside
from cooking too quickly.
• Less our or corn meal is needed as frozen pizzas
stick far less than fresh.
• You can still add your own toppings to your frozen crust to customize it.

CLEANING
Porcelain Coated steel Finish
The outside of this oven is made of high heat rated
porcelain coated steel. To clean, wipe the outside
surfaces with a cloth dampened with water and a
mild dish washing detergent; dry immediately. Do
not use abrasive scrubbers or the nish may be come
scratched or damaged. Never clean the oven when it
is hot. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the
exterior of the oven twice yearly or as needed.
Cordierite baking stone
To keep the baking stones free of charred food remains, run the oven on “High” for 10 minutes after
cooking is complete and pizza has been removed.
Most food particles that remain on the stone will burn
off due to the high heat inside the oven. If necessary,
the stone may be removed from the oven occasionally
for a more thorough cleaning. Only when the oven and
baking stone have completely cooled, remove the hood
to reveal the stone. Run it under hot water while scrubbing with a brush. Natural stiff bristled brushes are
recommended b y the m an ufacturer. Do not use soap
on the stones as it may leave a soapy aftertaste. The
natural properties of the baking stone will cause it to
darken and spot with age – do not attempt to remove
this discoloration. Air-dry the stone and store inside
the oven. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the
baking stone after each use.
burner tubes for insects and nests. A clogged tube can
lead to a re beneath the oven.
storage
Once cooled and cleaned the oven can be stored outside with the rain cover in place or with an optional
fabric cover. We recommend disconnecting the gas
tank before storing inside.
Crumb tray
Particles of food are caught in the crumb tray directly
below the oven. Only once the oven has cooled, use a
long handled brush or shop vacuum to clear out burnt
particles. The tray can also be removed with the cover
and stone in place by unscrewing the three thumb
screws and lower the tray. Clean with mild soap and
water. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the
crumb tray after each use.
burner tube
Visually check the burner ames prior to each use.
The ames should be blue. If they are not, clean
15
Page 16
WArNING
The baking stones must be completely cooled before handling. The stones can hold high temperatures long after the oven has been turned off. Please use extreme caution when handling to avoid
severe burns. Baking stones should be air dried completely before use. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the stone.
WArNING
Do not cover the oven while it is in use or still hot. Oven and all parts must be completely cooled
before covering to avoid damage to oven, or creating a re hazard which may result in property
damage or injury.
WArNING
Please remember this is an outdoor gas oven. Many areas of the oven generate extreme heat. We
have taken every precaution to protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all hig h-t e mper ature areas . The r e f o r e, use good judgment a nd a certain degre e o f ca u tion when
using this product. We suggest covered, protected hands during operation of oven. Do not move
your oven when it is in operation or hot to the touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly
