Cooking In Your Pellet Oven
1. Ensure all Folding Legs are fully extended before use.
2. Do not use your Pizza Oven on plastic or glass tables. The oven can be
used on the following surfaces:
Stainless steel, wood, marble, concrete, or stone.
Ensure that the surface is level, stable, and at least 3 feet away from
structures.
3. Before lighting your Pellet Oven, slide the Pizza Stone into the Housing
until it stops. For Pizzas use the smooth side of the Pizza Stone facing up.
For steaks, fish, and other proteins, use the ridged side of the Pizza Stone
facing up, or a raw cast iron cooking vessel. If using raw cast iron, remove
the Pizza Stone from the oven and place the raw cast iron cooking vessel
directly inside the Housing.
4. Follow the instructions under the section "Lighting Your Pellets".
5. Once the pellets are fully ignited you will see the flames form the back
inside of the oven coming across the top inside of the oven. Preheat the
Pizza Stone for 15 minutes prior to adding food. Follow recipe instructions
regarding preheating for raw cast iron cooking vessels.
6. Reminder: Always keep the Oven Door and Pellet Chute Lid closed during
preheating and cooking.
7. Ensure that the Pellet Chute is always replenished by checking every 5
minutes during cooking.
8. The outside air temperature can affect the cooking time. Cooking times in
this manual are based on outdoor temperatures above 65°F.
9. Because your Pellet Oven operates at temperatures up to 950°F, it is
important to rotate your food for even cooking using the Pizza Peel
provided with this oven. The back of the oven has more intense heat than
the front. Fresh pizzas can cook in as fast as 90 seconds, so it is best to
rotate your pizza every 30 seconds.

Care & Cleaning
Although your Pellet Oven is designed for outdoor use it is best to protect it
from inclement weather. Once fully cooled down, store you Pellet Oven away
from the elements. If you will keep your Pellet Oven outside, we recommend
using a cover to protect it.
Cleaning the Interior of the Oven
The inside of the oven Housing can be cleaned when needed by letting
the oven run at high temperature for 20 minutes. Once cooled down use
paper towels or a cloth to wipe the inside down to remove food debris.
Cleaning the Exterior of the Oven
Wipe the exterior of the oven with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sponges.
Cleaning the Pizza Stone
After the stone has completely cooled, we recommend using a wire bristle
brush to scrape the smooth side of the Pizza Stone clean to remove
excess food debris. It is normal for the smooth side of the Pizza Stone to
become stained after repeated use. Never use water to clean the smooth
side of the Pizza Stone or place the stone in a dishwasher. The Pizza
Stone will absorb water and could crack when exposed to high heat.
The coated ridged side of the Pizza Stone can be cleaned with a damp
cloth and dried thoroughly.
Pellet Tray
Always ensure that the pellets are completely extinguished and the
ashes are cool before disposing the ashes. Any burnt-on debris can be
scraped off the Pellet Tray and Pellet Grate. Pellet Tray and Grate and not
dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the Pizza Peel
The Pizza Peel and wooden Handle can be cleaned with a damp cloth and
soapy water then dried thoroughly. Do not place the Pizza Peel or Handle
in the dishwasher. If food debris gets caught under the Handle, remove
the Handle completely by turning the Pizza Peel Nut counterclockwise
while putting pressure on the underside of the screw on the bottom
of the Pizza Peel. Remove the Pizza Peel Nut and screw then clean as
needed. To reattach, ensure that the raised side of the Pizza Peel is facing
up (see Fig 6). Slide the screw through the hole on the opposite side,
place the Pizza Peel Nut on the screw and tighten by turning clockwise
while putting pressure on the screw.
