Operating Your Oven Safely
Congratulations on your purchase of a Tuscan Chef Outdoor Wood Burning Oven
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY,
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR TUSCAN CHEF OVEN
*Curing/seasoning the oven
It is very important that your new TUSCAN CHEF OVEN be seasoned before use, to ensure compliance with all warranties.
Start a fire in the firebox and bring oven up to an operating temperature of 450 – 500 F, leave both the firebox and oven
doors open and let the oven run for a minimum of one (1) hour. This will allow the temperature resistant paint to fully cure
and to disperse and any associated fumes, prior to cooking on your oven.
*Safety Warnings and Clearances
Your Tuscan Chef Oven can reach very high temperatures. Do not touch and at all times, keep children and pets at a safe
distance while operating your oven.
Tuscan Chef Ovens are designed for outdoor use only.
The oven and firebox doors hinge system require a slight lift up of the doors to facilitate opening and closing. The spiral
handles will be hot and we recommend that heat protective gloves or mitts be used at all times when opening and closing
the doors. Both doors have steel stoppers to support them in a horizontal position but care must be taken when lowering
the doors, support the door until it rests on the supports. They are not designed to support excess weight.
Heat protective gloves or mitts should be used when opening oven and firebox doors.
Oven should be set up on level surface that has the capacity to support the full weight of the product.
Do not light with fuel accelerants - The firebox is designed for easy ignition using only seasoned hardwood.
*Do not add gas, lighter fluid or other non-approved fire starting products.*
*Do not store gasoline, propane cylinders or any other flammable materials in the vicinity of the oven*
As a wood burning appliance it is recommended that the following clearances from combustible materials – front, back and
sides, be followed.

*Portable Cart Models
Care must be taken when installing or moving your Tuscan Chef Oven when mounted on a cart with casters.
The oven bottom has four (4) raised points in each corner, that are designed to fit inside the cart frame.
When placing the oven onto the cart, ensure that the raised points of the oven have seated correctly into the
cart. Stainless steel side handles are included with your oven to assist in installing and moving of your oven.
Take care when moving the oven to ensure that the casters do not encounter any ground issues that
would cause the cart to stop suddenly. The cart with casters is intended to move easily and safely on
level, smooth, unobstructed surfaces. When you have your oven situated, ensure that the caster locks have
been applied.
