handy tips Some parts have a plastic film on them that protects them during manufacture. Remove all of this protective film before any assembly or use. This will prevent it from getting trapped between parts during assembly. Failure to remove the plastic will result in it “Baking” on to the surface making it If you are having trouble removing the plastic film, warm the surface with a hair dryer. Do not use a scraper or knife as this will scratch the surface.
using the oven LOCATION: Place the oven on a flat, even, level suface away from any combustible materials. Ideally a stone or concrete surface is preferable. Consult local building and fire regulations regarding rcommended safe distancing from buildings, partitions and coverings such as pergolas and roofs. Additional parts may be required. Check for the wind direction to ensure the wind is not blowing directly into the oven. This will cause ash to blow around inside the oven and reduce temperature.
using the oven LIGHTING THE OVEN CONTINUED: After 15 minutes with the door closed, the ambient temperature in the oven should have reached approximately 600+ degrees F (320+ degrees C) as seen on the external thermometer. To prepare for cooking: Remove the door (CAUTION | Extremely Hot) and set aside safely. Using the tool provided, heavy fire tongs and/or fire resistant gloves - slide the steel wood holder (brazier) with the burning wood and coals all the way to the left hand side of the oven.

more cooking The XOPIZZA1 pizza/hearth oven was designed and built in Italy to cook the perfect, Italian wood-fired pizza in beautiful homes like yours. The ceramic refractory hearth stone floor of the oven can reach temperatures of 750 F in as little as 15 to 20 minutes, allowing you to create authentic pizza cooked to perfection.
a little tlc MAINTAINING YOUR XOPIZZA OVEN CLEANING THE EXTERIOR Clean the exterior of your oven with warm soapy water and a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Never use scrubbing pads or scrapers which can scratch and mar the finish. CLEANING THE INTERIOR Periodically check the chimney for obstructions and remove any ash or soot build up that may have accumulated in the pipe.
faqs QUESTION: Why does my oven produce a lot of smoke? Check to make certain the wood is not wet or green. If you hear a hissing noise while burning - that is an indicator that the wood is not dry. Do not burn softwood or birch with the bark on. Make certain that you have robust flames. Smoke is a product of incomplete combustion, builld up the fire with small dry wood and see if it clears. QUESTION: Why does the top of my pizza cook but not the crust? Pre-heat your oven longer.
