LPG CYLINDER
The cylinder manufacturer/distributor is responsible for the safety
and performance of the LPG cylinder. This is not included in the
Masport Pizza Oven warranty. Do not use a cylinder that is unsafe.
When disconnecting and removing the gas cylinder for the purpose
of refilling, always observe the following procedure.
• Ensure that all gas control valves on the appliance and the gas
cylinder are turned off before disconnecting the regulator from the
cylinder.
• Do not smoke or use a naked flame near the appliance or gas
cylinder while disconnecting the gas line between the appliance
and gas cylinder.
• Remove the gas cylinder from the enclosure before disconnecting
the regulator from the appliance.
• Tighten all connections before placing the gas cylinder back in its
enclosure.
• The gas leak testing procedure should be conducted every time
the gas cylinder is refilled and reconnected to the appliance
before using the appliance.
LEAK TESTING
WARNING!
Never use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.
Always use the following procedure to check for gas leaks.
1. In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent
or soap.
2. Make sure that the gas supply valve on the gas cylinder is
turned on.
3. Make sure that the gas control valves on the appliance are all
turned off.
4. Using a brush or spray bottle apply the solution to the gas line
and each join in the gas line.
5. Bubbling of the solution will indicate that there is a leak
present.
6. Re-tighten or re-seal any joints that are leaking.
7. If a leak persists then contact your distributor or the
manufacturer for assistance.
When to Test: The Pizza Oven gas bottle, regulator & hose
assembly should be checked for leaks, using the soapy water leak
test, every time you reconnect your regulator to the Pizza Oven gas
bottle. You should also test after any long period of non-use, such
as at the beginning of BBQ season.
What to use: You will need a soapy water solution to check for any
leaks. Mixing liquid hand soap with water will work fine (do not use
any other household cleaning products).
How to Test: Put some soapy water in a spray bottle or a dish.
Turn on the gas bottle but do not turn on the Pizza Oven. Next,
spray the entire valve, regulator and hose assembly with the soapy
water including where the hose connects to the Pizza Oven.
Alternatively, you can apply the soapy water with a paint brush,
basting brush.
Bubbles will form if there is a gas leak and you may also smell the
gas. If you find a leak, turn off the gas bottle immediately!
Do not turn back on or attempt to use the Pizza Oven if a gas leak
has been detected, contact your local Pizza Oven Dealer for repair.
OPERATION
WARNING!
DO NOT use the pizza stone directly exposed to the burner on
the oven floor. This pizza oven is designed for the pizza stone to
sit on the grill. This will leave a gap for air circulation in the oven.
Full coverage of the burner area will cause excessive buildup of
heat and damage the oven.
• Never leave burners on high for more than 10 minutes unless
actually cooking. If the burner makes hissing sounds when lit, it
