The Gozney Dome Stand is a purpose-built accessory designed to elevate and support the Gozney Dome oven, providing a stable and mobile platform for outdoor cooking. This technical manual outlines the assembly process, safety cautions, and installation instructions for the stand.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Gozney Dome Stand is to provide a dedicated, stable, and mobile base for the Gozney Dome oven. It elevates the oven to a comfortable working height, making it easier to operate and manage during cooking. The stand incorporates features for mobility, storage, and secure placement of the oven, enhancing the overall user experience of the Gozney Dome.

Important Technical Specifications:

The stand's dimensions are crucial for understanding its footprint and compatibility.

• Overall Height (with Dome): 5ft 4½" (1665mm)
• Overall Width (with Dome): 4ft 3¾" (1334mm)
• Stand Height (without Dome): Approximately 3ft 2¾" (997mm)
• Stand Width (without Dome): Approximately 4ft 1¼" (1227mm)
• Stand Depth: 2ft 5½" (775mm)
• Shelf Depth: 2ft 8¾" (880mm)

The stand is constructed from various metal parts, as indicated by the "What's In The Box" section, which lists numerous components with part numbers (F001-F010) and quantities. These parts include:

• F001 (Bolts): 16x (for initial assembly)
• F002 (Bolts): 12x (for shelves)
• F003 (Dome Fixing Bolt): 1x (for securing the Dome to the stand)
• F004 (Bolts): 4x (for side shelves)
• F005 (Bolts): 8x (for main shelf)
• F006 (Dome Support Plate): 1x (critical for Dome installation)
• F007 (Bolts): 4x (for side shelves)
• F008 (Washers): 28x (for various bolt connections)
• F009 (Washers): 8x (for main shelf)
• F010 (Washers): 4x (for side shelves)

The stand features four casters (wheels) for mobility, which are designed to be locked when the oven is in use or connected to a gas supply. The design includes multiple shelves, likely made of wood, for storage and workspace.

Usage Features:

The Gozney Dome Stand is designed for ease of use and safety in an outdoor cooking environment.

• Mobility: Equipped with four casters, the stand allows for easy repositioning of the Gozney Dome oven. This is particularly useful for moving the oven to different cooking locations or for storage.
• Stability: The casters are designed to be locked, ensuring the stand remains stationary and stable during operation. This is a critical safety feature, especially when the oven is hot or connected to a gas supply.
• Storage and Workspace: The stand includes multiple shelves, providing convenient storage for cooking tools, ingredients, or accessories. The top surface, where the Dome rests, also offers additional workspace around the oven.
• Gas Oven Compatibility: When used with a gas-powered Gozney Dome, the stand requires specific safety considerations. Users must ensure the oven is disconnected from the gas supply before moving. The casters must be locked when the oven is connected to gas, even if not in use. The manual emphasizes using Gozney-supplied or compliant gas connectors and quick-disconnect devices, adhering to ANSI Z21.69 / CSA 6.16 and ANSI Z21.41 / CSA 6.9 standards, respectively. The gas connector and quick-disconnect device should not be used to limit appliance movement.
• Ergonomic Height: The stand elevates the Dome to an optimal height for comfortable cooking, reducing the need to bend or strain.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual primarily focuses on assembly and initial setup, it includes important cautions that indirectly relate to maintenance and longevity of the stand and oven.

• Cleaning: Although not explicitly detailed, the design with metal and wooden shelves suggests standard outdoor furniture cleaning practices would apply. The caution against placing hot items directly on wooden shelves implies a need for protective measures, which helps in maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of the shelves.
• Protection from Damage: The manual advises against placing any parts on abrasive surfaces during assembly to prevent damage to the paintwork of metal parts. This highlights the importance of careful handling to maintain the finish and prevent corrosion.
• Structural Integrity: The instruction to fully tighten all fixings (bolts) at Step 9, after initial assembly, is crucial for maintaining the stand's structural integrity and stability over time. Regular checks of these fixings might be implied for long-term maintenance.
• Safe Movement: The caution to push/pull the stand itself, not the oven, when moving, helps prevent stress on the oven-to-stand connection and potential damage to both units. Similarly, ensuring the oven is fully cool before moving prevents heat-related damage or injury.
• Weight Distribution: The requirement for the ground to be stable and level, and capable of supporting the oven's weight, is a foundational maintenance consideration for the stand's long-term stability and safety.

The assembly process is broken down into 15 steps, starting with attaching the casters to the main frame, building the central support structure, adding the shelves, and finally installing and securing the Gozney Dome oven. The manual emphasizes not fully tightening bolts until the frame is assembled to ease alignment, a common practice in furniture assembly to ensure all components fit correctly before final securement. The installation of the Dome itself requires two people, lifting from the rounded ends of the oven, and aligning its feet with specific slots on the stand, secured by a dedicated fixing bolt (F003).
