Koda 12 is making a roaring

sound

I can smell gas

Checking for gas leaks

What to do if the ﬂames

go out when I let go of the

control dial

Carry out a gas leak test before every use. Apply a leak detector spray or soapy water to the

connections between the propane tank and Koda 12. If you see bubbles, immediately switch o

the gas supply and check the gas ﬁttings. If bubbles continue, switch o the gas and service the

regulator.

Never cook with a product that has failed a leak test. Contact support.ooni.com for further

advice.

The ﬂame is optimised when Koda 12 is running quietly. On rare occasions, you may hear a

louder-than-normal roaring sound which means that the gas burner has not ignited correctly. If

so, switch o for 5 minutes and relight. Incorrect lighting may result in overheating and damage.

Please follow the lighting instructions carefully.

• Turn o the gas supply to Koda 12 by closing the valve on the propane tank.

• Extinguish any open ﬂame.

• If the smell persists, keep a safe distance and contact your local ﬁre department.

If the ﬂame goes out, wait 5 minutes before relighting.

Push the control knob in and slowly turn counter-clockwise from 12 o’clock to 9 o’clock. This

should take at least 3 seconds as you allow gas to ﬂow into the oven. Continue to push in the

control knob for 20 seconds after ignition and then release.

If the product is being used in the wind, ensure the wind is entering the back of the oven.

There could also be an issue with the Flame Safety Device (FSD). This built-in safety feature cuts

o the gas if the thermocouple is not reading a high enough temperature. To say it another way,

the oven thinks that there is no ﬂame and so it doesn’t allow gas to ﬂow.

You can see the thermocouple in the picture on the page opposite (p.27). Give it a good wipe

down with a dry paper towel. If you can’t reach it, use some compressed air and give a good

blast to clear it.
