PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the stainless steel

Alfa ovens are made with high quality 304 stainless

steel outside and 441 inside. To clean the stainless

steel we suggest using an inox cleaner. Be sure to

read the instructions reported on the product.

2. Protect stainless steel

To better protect the stainless steel, we suggest

using Vaseline or oil (some people use olive or baby

oil)

3. Cover the oven

Don’t forget to use the Alfa covers to protect your

oven.

EVERY 2-3 YEARS

1. Clean some rust spot

Stainless steel is rust-proof but in some case

(humidity, sea salt, etc.) some rust spots may appear.

You can use a rust remover to get your stainless steel

perfect again.

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 Barry’s
