Usage Features:
- Outdoor Use Only: The appliance is strictly for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas, with a minimum of 25% of the surface area open. Use in enclosed spaces (garage, carport, tent, marquee) is prohibited due to fire risk and fume accumulation.
- Easy Assembly: The oven is designed for straightforward assembly, involving attaching the legs to the bottom plate, inserting an AA battery for ignition, and placing the pizza stones and control knob into the body.
- Ignition: To ignite, users must ensure gas connections are secure, the gas cylinder/regulator is turned on, and the control knob is pushed in and turned anti-clockwise to the HIGH position. A clicking sound indicates ignition, and the burner should light. If not, the knob should be held in, released, and tried again.
- Flame Control: The control knob offers three basic positions: OFF, HIGH, and LOW, allowing users to adjust the flame height and temperature.
- Preheating: For optimal results, the oven should be preheated on the HIGH position for up to 5 minutes to ensure residual grease from food is removed and the pizza stones are thoroughly heated.
- Safety Instructions:
- Never leave the oven unattended during operation.
- Always use on a level surface.
- Turn off the gas supply after use.
- Do not move the oven during operation as it becomes very hot.
- A suitable guard should be used for the protection of young children, the elderly, and the infirm due to the open flame.
- Do not obstruct ventilation air flow around the housing.
- Not intended for installation in recreational vehicles or boats.
- Regularly check for gas leaks, especially when connecting/reconnecting gas cylinders or fittings, and inspect the hose before each use.
- In case of gas smell, immediately shut off gas, extinguish open flames, open the lid, and if the odor persists, call the gas supplier.
- Do not store or use flammable vapors or liquids near the appliance.
- A gas cylinder not connected for use should not be stored near the appliance.
- Troubleshooting: A dedicated section helps users diagnose common issues such as failure to ignite (missing battery, gas cylinder off, control knob not in HIGH position) and low burner flame (low gas pressure, low outdoor temperature, blocked burner ports).
