GAS SAFETY
ONLY USE THE HOSE ASSEMBLY TYPE
27 SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER
ON THIS APPLIANCE. REPLACEMENT
HOSE ASSEMBLIES MUST BE THOSE
SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
This is a limitative configured appliance for
LPG gas. Do not attempt to use other type gas
supply unless the oven has been reconfigured
for other gas use.
The installation of this appliance must conform
to local codes.
Make sure that both gas cylinder and gas
hose do not come in contact with any high
temperature parts.
WARNING
Prior to use, check the oven and burner and
venturi for blockages (eg, food residue or insect
nests - Wasps, Bees or Ants.) If an insect nest
is found they can be dangerous and must be
cleaned out thoroughly. Please refer to the
cleaning and maintenance sections at the end
of this chapter for guidance on how to do this.
Should the appliance go out for any reason, turn
off the control knob and the cylinder gas valve.
Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the
appliance.
Some foods produce flammable fats and juices.
Attend to an operating Pizza Oven at all times-
it should never be left unattended. Damage
caused by fat and grease fires is not covered
by warranty. If a grease or fat fire should occur,
immediately turn off burner knob and the gas
cylinder valve until the fire is out. Remove all
food from the appliance.
A leak test must be carried out prior to using the
appliance for the first time and whenever the
gas cylinder is refilled or whenever the gas hose
and regulator have been disconnected from the
gas cylinder or appliance. Apply soapy water to
the entire hose assembly type 27, including the
gas bottle’s valve and regulator, using a spray
bottle or sponge. Pressurise the system without
turning on your Pizza Oven (i.e. slowly open
the gas supply on your gas bottle). If you see
bubbles or smell rotten eggs, you have a leak.
Dishwashing liquid/soap is formulated to make
lots of bubbles and ideal for mixing with water
to make your soapy liquid for this leak test.
Please take a moment to review all of the safety
requirements before operating the appliance
when using gas.
• Do not disconnect any gas fittings while the
appliance is operating
• Check all gas hose lines and connections
for cuts, cracks and other damage. Gas
cylinders must not be stored in enclosed
areas
• Keep the fuel supply hose away from heated
surfaces or direct sunlight. Do not use any
additional flammable substance whilst
operating with gas
• Do not touch! The Pizza Oven can get
extremely hot when in operation. Be sure to
wear protective gloves
• Keep the cylinder outdoors in it’s upright
position
• Do not connect multiple gas canisters to
Pizza Oven or store a spare within the same
vicinity
• Only use a regulator certified to AS 4621 and
a hose assembly type 27 certified to AS/NZS
1869, between the gas cylinder and the pizza
oven
• Do not position the gas canister under the
oven. Never use a naked flame to check
for gas leaks. Do not use natural gas! It can
damage the oven
• Maximum length of hose cannot exceed
1.5m
• National requirements state how often to
replace the hose
• Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full
• Make sure the flexible tube is not twisting
when the appliance is in operation.
CONNECTING TO GAS
Step 1: Check that the gas you have is Propane
LPG.
IMPORTANT! The gas cylinder used must have
a safety collar to protect the valve assembly.
Do no use a cylinder that is rusty, dented, has a
damaged valve or has past any expiry dates.
Note: Only certified gas regulators to AS 4621
and certified hose assemblies to AS/NZS 1869,
may be used.
Note: The length of the gas supply hose must
not exceed 1.5m.
IMPORTANT!
Keep the gas hose away from hot surfaces and
protect from dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary
twisting of hose. Visually inspect the hose prior
to each use for cracks, excessive wear or other
damage. Replace the hose if necessary. It is
recommended that you replace the hose every
5 years.
WARNING
Do not connect the regulator to the cylinder first!
WARNING
If at any point you smell gas:
• Shut off the gas at the cylinder
• Rotate the control knob on your Pizza oven
to the off position (clockwise), which should
extinguish any open flames
• If odour continues, move away from the pizza
oven and gas supply, then contact your local
fire brigade for further assistance.
Step 2: Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder,
following the instructions for your regulator
accordingly. Don’t force the regulator as this could
damage the gas cylinder or regulator fitting.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE
CYLINDER
To connect the Liquid Propane gas supply
cylinder: The cylinder valve should be in the
“OFF” position. If not, turn the valve clockwise
until it stops. Make sure the cylinder valve
has the proper connections per LCC27. Make
sure the burner valve is in the “OFF” position.
Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator
assembly to the valve, use your hand to tighten
the nut clockwise until it stops. Use of a wrench
could damage the quick coupling nut and result
in a hazardous situation, open the cylinder valve
fully by turning the valve counter-clockwise.
Before lighting the oven, use a soap and water
solution to check all the connections for leaks. If
a leak is found, turn the cylinder valve “OFF” and
do not use the oven until a local Liquid Propane
dealer can make repairs.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTOR AT THE
CYLINDER CONNECTION
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under
or near this appliance
2. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full
3. If the information in item 1&2 is not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury
may occur.
CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve
outlet whenever the 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.
