REGULAR MAINTENANCE
1. Clean the combustion chamber
Pyrolysis 500°C-1.000°F
The Alfa oven can be cleaned by the re itself
through a process called “pyrolysis” (pyro “re”
+ lysis “separating”). It is one of the processes
involved in charring wood and it has a function of
thermal cleaning, which removes organic substances
from products or production components. During
the thermal cleaning process, organic material is
converted by pyrolysis and oxidation into volatile
organic compounds, hydrocarbons and carbonized
gas. Inorganic elements remain. To clean the oven with pyrolysis we suggest to
keep the temperature at 500°C / 1.000°F for 2-3 minutes.
2. Clean the cooking oor
After the pyrolysis you need to wait the oven to
cool down and then take the ashes away. (ALWAYS
to use a re resistant bin to hold the used ashes).
When you are 100% certain the ashes are cold you
can empty them or you can also use the ashes as a
fertilizer for the trees. If you wish you can also draw
the ashes from the holes of the cooking oor with an
outdoor shop vac.
3. Clean the oven outside
Like all 304 stainless & powder coated products,
these are built to withstand and resists many
environments including coastal salt marine, but will
need regular care and maintenance. Wash with a
soft cloth and a solution of soap and water or use a
cleaning solution mixture of 50/50 Baking Soda and
Dish Washing liquid detergent. With scouring side
of sponge, scrub WITH THE GRAIN of the stainless
steel and rinse with clean water. We recommend
