Do not leave your patio heater unattended whilst it is burning or
smouldering
Never move your patio heater when lit or until fully cooled
Keep children and pets away from the patio heater at all times
Beware flames can extend out of the top of the chimney and glowing
embers can be ejected from the chimney and door
Avoid contact with potentially hot surfaces such as vents, lids or charcoal
bowls. Wear oven gloves when touching handles etc
Apart from when fuel is being added, or when food is being inserted or
removed, the safety screen door should be fitted at all times whilst the
patio heater is lit.
Cook food thoroughly
Keep raw and cooked foods separate
Charcoal takes a long time to cool, leave ash until completely cold. Ash
that looks grey may still be hot.
Please retain these instructions for future reference
Please note that when moving your patio heater, allow it to cool fully,
empty all fuel then carry from the base.
Using as a Heater
Remove all cooking grills. Place your coals in the centre of the base of the oven
avoiding touching the sides of the unit and remove all other grills and grates.
Ensure that flames are kept within the body of the patio heater.
Cooking with your Oven
Place the middle grates in the unit and build the fire on them. Place the upper
grate in the oven for both oven and open barbecue cooking.
Jacket potatoes, meat and fish can be wrapped in foil and cooked in the
oven or the embers.
Meat or vegetables can be placed directly on the upper oven grate.
Oven proof dishes or fire proof casseroles can be used in the oven to cook
a variety of foods.
Remember that cooking times with vary considerably depending on the
size of the fire and the fuel used.
Protect the bottom of pizzas and breads by placing them on an oven tray
or pizza stone first.
The oven is ready to use once your coals are glowing, top up your coals as
necessary.
Maintenance
We suggest you carry out assembly on a soft surface to avoid scratching
the paint finish
Please note that because of the nature of cast metal, you may find
roughness on the surface and the design. This "one of a kind" look
enhances the beauty of the product and is not a defect.
Although the patio heater is painted with high temperature paint, it will
need repainting to maintain its original look. High temperature paint is
available form your local DIY store.
Occasionally, the seams of your pizza oven, may require re sealing, this
can be achieved by pressing into the join a small amount of fire cement.
Recommended colour, black.
Due to the nature of cast iron the patio heater surfaces will rust. To reduce
rusting, wipe the patio heater with vegetable/sunflower oil after each use.
If your patio heater becomes scratched, chipped or burnt, repaint with
high temperature paint. Slight wear and tear scratches may appear with
normal use.
