*One thermometer is supplied, which can be used in either the door (for example when bread baking) or in the stand for
reading air temperature in the oven� It is inter-changeable between both� When used in the free stand, position it in the
mouth 10-15cm from the front of the oven NOT inside the oven�
2. HOW TO SET UP YOUR WOOD-FIRED OVEN
• Follow the assembly instructions on pages 2 and 3�
• Check that everything is secure using an adjustable spanner�
• Decide where to place your stand� It needs to be on a hard and level surface, preferably in a concrete, tiled or decked
area, which can easily hold the total weight of the oven (that's a hefty 200 kilos)�
• WARNING there is a risk of toppling if not sited level or if sited on soft ground�
• RECOMMENDATION There is a slight risk of heavy force from behind knocking the oven over� We recommend sit-
ing the oven up against a wall, fence or hedge�
• DO NOT LEAN AGAINST THE OVEN
• Make sure the oven is at a safe distance from any flammable surfaces and that there is enough space around the flue
pipe for smoke to disperse�
3. HOW TO CURE YOUR WOOD-FIRED OVEN
Follow this guide when your oven is new or if it becomes very wet�
You'll need:
• Wax firelighters� Do not use standard white firelighters as they contain chemicals that may get into the oven floor and
affect the flavour of your food� Never use lighter fluid to start or refresh a fire�
• Hardwood kindling (such as oak, ash, beech, cherry, apple, pear, hawthorn or olive) or kiln-dried hardwood with a
moisture content of less than 20%� Hardwood produces the most heat and less ash� Softwood has an unpleasant smell,
and painted or treated wood can give off toxic fumes�
