The advantage of a stainless steel domed pizza oven is the incredibly quick heat up time.
Once the fire ignites, add larger pieces of wood until a larger roaring fire is achieved. Fully
opening the slatted door to the fire chamber will allow oxygen to feed the fire while keeping
heat inside the oven. Also, the smoke and heat escape can be adjusted via the damper (handle)
on the chimney.
***When handle is in the HORIZONTAL (pointing LEFT to RIGHT) position,
the chimney is CLOSED. When handle is in VERTICAL (pointing UP to DOWN) position, the
chimney is completely open. ***
Once the fire is roaring and temperature starts to increase,
you can partially close the slatted door to the fire chamber, as well as partially close the
chimney damper.
***WARNING CHIMNEY IS VERY HOT, DO NOT TOUCH***
***WARNING HANDLE ON DOOR CAN BE VERY HOT, USE HEAT RESISTANT
GLOVE***
Your oven should be ready to use in approximately 45 minutes.
The pizza stones are certified to come in contact with food, so food can be cooked directly on
the stones for authentic wood-fired pizza. Brush any ash residue off the cooking surface
before use.
Keep an active fire in the oven while you are cooking and add wood as necessary.
Cleaning and Care
When finished cooking, simply let your fire burn out and clean out the ash tray (located inside
fire tray) once cool. The inside of the oven can be cleaned with any approved stainless cleaner.
The igniting stage will burn out any impurities in the oven.
It is imperative to use a good stainless steel cleaner to clean your oven as well as using a
solution to protect any stainless that is exposed to the elements. Approved cleaning/protecting
solutions can be purchased via our website www.fontanaforniusa.com. One such kit is the
EMERGO cleaner and protectant solution.
