Getting started
Finding the right place to set up
Ooni Karu 16 will perform best when
sheltered from wind. Choose a spot that
has at least 1m / 3ft around the oven,
away from buildings, structures and
plants / trees. Place Ooni Karu 16 on the
Ooni Modular Table or a similarly sturdy
outdoor table that can hold weights
upwards of 99 lbs / 45 kgs. Choose
the perfect space, snap a picture and
share it with us - we love seeing the
Community’s set ups!
For Ooni Karu 16 we recommend the
large Ooni Modular Table, especially if
you want to store a gas bottle on the
bottom shelf.
Glass and plastic tables are not
recommended.
Seasoning Ooni Karu 16
Before cooking for the first time, run
Ooni Karu 16 at top temperatures for
30 minutes before allowing the oven to
completely cool and wiping down with
dry paper towels. This will remove any
oils or coatings that are remnants from
the manufacturing process.
It’s also a good opportunity to get to
know your oven — after all, you’re going
to be spending a lot of time together!
Getting the right burn
Using the right fuel is the first step
towards delicious food. When you fire
up with high-quality fuel, you will get
high-quality food out.
See page 23 for further information.
If you want to change from using solid
fuels to using gas, allow Ooni Karu 16 to
cool first before attaching the Ooni Karu
16 Gas Burner.
