INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND HANDY TIPS

1. Please ensure you read these instructions thoroughly.
2. For ignition: take off the rear door, open the front door and check that the chimney’s valve is in the open position.
3. When the flames are lively, slide the rear door back into place, and when the flames run through the oven chamber you can close the front door as well.
4. After about a minute, condensation may form on the glass caused by the difference in temperature: wipe the glass dry and close the door. During the first few minutes, repeat this if necessary. This helps prevent soot from sticking to the glass.  If the glass of the front door fogs during cooking, you can just wipe it with a dry cloth.
5. At this stage, feed the fire through the back door.
6. Do not cook any food other than pizza or bread directly on the stone! The food releases liquids which will cause the stone to split. Because the stone absorbs the liquid which will cause a thermal shock. This includes the spilling of liquid such as tomato and/or mozzarella from the pizza if the pizza breaks/opens (hole) when placing it in the oven.
   If this occurs, use a stainless steel (or our copper) brush to wipe it away prior to putting in
   the next pizza.
7. Do not use a damp cloth or such to clean the stone when hot.
