This section details the correct operation and install of a Gozney Dome.
Cautions & Warnings
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS This appliance must be installed on a secure level base prior to use. WARNING: This appliance will become very hot, do not move it during operation. Do not spill or pour water onto the cooking floor. This is dangerous and can crack the stone. Do not wear flammable loose garments or sleeves. WARNING: Keep away from children and pets. Do not cover oven mouth when there is an active flame, this will cause damage to the oven. The Dome unit and the burner must always be well ventilated.
CARBON MONOXIDE Carbon Monoxide is a highly poisonous gas which can be produced when the device isn’t receiving enough ventilation. We therefore recommend using the wood burners in a well ventilated area away from direct wind and to never cover the oven mouth when there is an open flame present. It is difficult to know if your device is producing Carbon Monoxide as it is an odourless and colourless gas.
This section details the set up of the oven and the accessories included with your Dome.
Set Up & Accessories
Never attempt to move the oven on your own. Two people should pick up the oven lifting from under the rounded ends of the oven, do not use the mouth of the oven as a lifting point. Remove anything loose on the oven before moving. Always plan the route you are going to take, remove any obstacles on your path and ensure the oven will fit through the intended route. Ensure the area you are moving the oven to fits with the guidelines on the following page.
732mm 28.8” 630mm 24.8” OVEN PLACEMENT When deciding where to place the Dome ensure the area is large enough to accommodate the oven with 2” (50mm) around the base of the dock for air intake and at least 1ft 2” (350mm) clearance above the oven. It is important nothing is blocking the meshed panels as this will affect the performance of the Dome. 660mm 26” 488mm 19.2” 226mm 8.9” Wind should be taken into consideration when choosing a location. Ideally the wind should be coming from behind the oven.
We recommend the height of the floor to be around the level of the bottom of the users elbow (usually around 3ft 11 ” (120cm )from the ground) Ensure the surface the oven is being placed on is completely level, stable and capable of easily holding the weight of the oven - 130lb (60kg). Floor Height WARNING When placing your oven it is important to maintain proper clearances from combustible construction.
FLUE ASSEMBLY The rain cap prevents moisture from getting into the oven and should only be used when the oven is cooled and not in use.

This section details safety considerations and how to get the most from your oven when firing on wood.
Firing Up Wood
First Firing WARNING: Before lighting the oven, ensure you have adhered to the extraction specified in this manual. If you are unsure, do not use the oven. Never use flammable liquids including, but not limited to, barbecue lighting fluid, petrol or lighter fluids to start or boost a fire in this oven. Keep all such liquids well away from the oven while it is in use. Never use unapproved fuel in your oven.
Wood To Use 140mm 51 2” / 20-50mm 1-2” 20-50mm 1-2” Wood is the most important factor when firing the oven on wood. It will determine the level of performance you will get from the oven. SIZE WOODS TO USE Smaller is better, we recommend using small pieces of kindling at 51/2”(140mm) by 1-2”(20-50mm) by 1-2”(20-50mm). • • • • • • MOISTURE CONTENT 16% is the optimum moisture level for your wood, but anywhere between 10-20% is good.
Moving The Fire 30 Minutes Approx Once the fire has established itself in the centre of the oven push it over to the left and continue to feed it for approximately 30 minutes or until the oven is fully saturated. Then move the fire to the right of the oven (over the mesh puck). and continuously add wood to the fire to keep a rolling flame across the top of the oven.
FINISHED COOKING COOKING WITH WOOD TIPS Allow the fire to die down until there are no naked flames and only embers remain. The door can then be placed in the closed position to retain heat. For the best results and ease of cooking, be sure to use kiln dried wood with a moisture content of 20% or less. Standard logs (including kiln dried) should not be stored in a commercial kitchen.
FUEL OVERLOADING CLEANING THE OVEN Overloading is dangerous and can cause excess smoke and flame. There should never be flames coming out the mouth of the oven or up the flue, if this happens step away from the oven and wait for the fire to die down. The oven floor should reach temperatures of 650˚F (360˚C) to start “self-cleaning”. To do this raise the temperature of the oven to above 650˚F (360˚C) for a period of three hours.
Your guide to general maintenance.
General Maintenance
EXTERNAL For the exterior of the oven use a non caustic bleach free cleaning spray on the dirty areas. Polish the area with a non abrasive dish cloth and then wipe clean with paper towels. Avoid spraying directly onto the thermometer, control dial or meshed areas on the base of the oven. When the oven isn’t in use it should be kept under cover away from rain. If you are placing a cover directly on Dome, ensure it’s completely cooled down before covering.
