Quick Start Guide
Using a Hybrid / Dual Fuel Kit with your Fontana Oven
Switching from Gas to Wood:
1. Place Burner Cover: Take the stainless steel rectangular plate with a laser-etched 'F.' Place it
over the burner between the two brackets to shield it.
2. Cover Burner: This blocks any ashes from falling onto the burner.
3. Use Wood Holder: Positioned on the right-hand side of the cooking chamber. Follow regular
woodfired oven steps.
Switching Back to Gas:
1. Remove Wood Holder & Ashes: Clean the wood holder and ashes.
2. Remove Burner Cover: Ready to cook with gas again.
Starting Your Fontana Oven for the First Time:
For Napoli Ovens:
1. Connect Propane: Hook up the propane, hose, and regulator assembly to a 20-pound tank.
2. Check for Gas Escape: Listen for any gas escaping when you turn the valve on.
3. Ignite Oven: For Napoli - turn the gas knob to the lightning bolt. Press the gas knob in while
simultaneously pressing the igniter button. You should hear gas flow and see a spark which
will ignite the flame on the burner.
4. After ignition, you must continue to hold the gas knob in for a minimum of 30 seconds. This
ensures the thermocouple has been heated properly.
For Firenze or Roma Ovens:
1. Connect Propane: Hook up the propane, hose, and regulator assembly to a 20-pound tank.
2. Light Pilot Light:
a. Turn the gas knob to the lightning bolt.
b. Press and hold the knob for 1.5 to 2 minutes to flood the system with propane. (You
should feel it pressing closer to the oven)
c. Press the igniter button to light the pilot light. You will hear it click and can press it
any time after 60 seconds to see if it is good to go.
d. Continue holding the gas knob for 15 seconds so the thermocouple heats up.
e. Release the knob, then turn it to the flame setting to light the burner.
f. Repeat this process if the oven has been sitting for more than 24 hours.
