WIND

DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE IN HIGH WINDS.

Wind directly affects the burn of the flame; this, in turn, will result in irregular air pressure and could cause the flame to blow out of the front of the appliance. Watch for the wind direction. Avoid cooking in head-on winds directed towards the front of the oven. Side or back winds shouldn’t affect the oven’s performance.

WHAT IS CLASSIFIED AS HIGH WINDS?

4 to 12mph wind is Force 2-3, and the appliance can be used safely. 13 to 18 mph wind is Force 4, and the appliance can be used with caution. 18 mph and greater is over Force 4; it is not recommended that the appliance be used in these conditions.

FLAME DISCOLOURATION WHEN USING GAS

The flame should, under normal conditions, burn yellow/orange in colour on LPG (Propane or Butane); this colour is normally on the upper part of the flames that will cook your pizza/food to a perfect standard. If the burner is exhibiting a complete blue flame, it is not burning correctly, and avoid cooking. In this situation, consult your local certified gas dealer.

By reducing the amount of air flowing into the appliance, a better flame is produced; it should lick across the roof and appear blue with yellow tips. This will heat up the appliance much more evenly, producing a better environment in which to cook your food. Due to the product being an LPG burner, make sure to regularly clean any soot build-up produced, as this can upset the balance of the cooking experience.

FIRE

Fire is generally caused by a few issues, and these causes can be easily prevented. Build-up of grease and fat, improper gas connection, and high winds are all considerations. There should be regular cleaning and maintenance of the appliance to avoid any issues with future use. If a fire does occur, turn off the gas at the bottle and/or the on/off valve as required.

Use a fire extinguisher on any flame or heat source that continues to burn; the extinguisher you select should depend on your application and situation. If the residual grease and fat deposits are alight, avoid a direct water jet to this area as it could disperse the fire to other areas; however, using a water supply to dampen down the immediate area around the fire could be a consideration.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING: Whilst every effort has been made in the manufacturing process of your pizza oven to remove any sharp edges, you should handle all components with care to avoid accidental injury.

ASSEMBLY: Please read all instructions thoroughly before proceeding. Find a large, clean area in which to assemble your gas pizza oven. Please refer to the parts list and assembly diagram as necessary.

NOTICE: Make sure all the plastic protection is removed before assembling! Before assembly, make sure all parts are present. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the appliance. Contact the DeliVita customer service team [email protected] for replacement parts.

CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER TO THE APPLIANCE

• This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane, propane gas, or LPG mixtures, fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose.
• The hose should be secured to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips (Jubilee clips). Make sure the flexible hose does not come into contact with hot surfaces and avoid twisting.
• Use a suitable regulator that is certified to BSEN 72864 or EN 76729. Make sure the regulator and flexible hose comply with local installation codes of practice for your country or municipality.
• Please consult your certified LPG dealer for information regarding a suitable regulator for the gas cylinder.

REGULATOR AND HOSE

• Only use a regulator and hose approved for LPG gas at the approved pressures. The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years if no signs of damage or wear; see the regulator manufacturer’s instructions.
• The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before operating the appliance.
• The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. Any worn or damaged hoses must be checked before using the oven and replaced as necessary. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the appliance or hot surfaces other than at its connection points.

STORAGE OF APPLIANCE

Storage of an appliance indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. When the appliance is not to be used for a period of time, it should be stored in its original packaging and stored in a dry, dust-free environment.

GAS CYLINDER

• The gas cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is not in use, the cylinder must be disconnected. Replace the protective cap on the cylinder after disconnecting the cylinder from the appliance. The gas cylinder must be sited outside, away from the appliance.
• Always connect or replace the cylinder in a well-ventilated area and away from any sources of ignition, flame, spark, or heat source. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in an upright position and out of the reach of children in a cool, dry area. The cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 50°C. Do not store the cylinder near flames, pilot lights, or any other sources of ignition. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE CYLINDER.
• This gas pizza oven is designed for use outdoors, away from any flammable materials. It is important that there are no overhead obstructions and that there is a minimum distance of 1 meter from the side or rear of the appliance. It is important that the ventilation opening at the front of the appliance is not obstructed. The appliance must be used on a level, stable surface. The appliance should be protected from direct draughts and any water penetration.
• Parts sealed by the manufacturer or their agents must not be altered by the user. No modifications should be made to any part of this pizza oven. Repairs and maintenance should only be carried out by a registered service engineer in your local area.

CONNECTION TO APPLIANCE

• Before connection, ensure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, regulator, burner, or burner parts. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the appliance. Caution should be given to this after long periods of storage.
• Fit the hose to the appliance using a spanner to tighten it onto the connection thread, or ensure it is securely locked on as per the regulator manufacturer’s instructions. If the hose is replaced, it must be secured to the appliance and regulator connections with hose clips. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder (according to the directions supplied with the regulator) when the appliance is not in use.
• The appliance must be used in a well-ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air to the burner when the appliance is in use. ONLY USE THIS GAS PIZZA OVEN OUTDOORS.

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS

• Connect your regulator to the gas bottle and turn the regulator switch to “ON”.
• Apply leak detector fluid to the hose and regulator connections. If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak. Switch the regulator “OFF”, remove the regulator from the cylinder, and examine all connections and hose clips. Tighten the clips if necessary (Do Not Overtighten) and repeat the test. The appliance can only be used when all leaks have been rectified.
• If you are not able to resolve the leak, disconnect from the gas bottle and contact your gas supplier for advice.

AFTER COOKING IS FINISHED

To turn the gas pizza oven off, it is best to turn off the cylinder first and allow all the gas remaining in the hose to burn off; this will only take a couple of seconds. Then turn off the burner. It is recommended that protective heat-proof gloves (e.g., oven gloves) be used when handling particularly hot components.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be carried out when the pizza oven is cool, with the fuel supply turned OFF at the gas cylinder and the cylinder disconnected.

Store the pizza oven out of direct sunlight and indoors, where possible, when storing for extended periods of time. The pizza oven should not be exposed to harsh weather conditions such as snow, heavy rain, and strong winds. Wait for the pizza oven to cool completely before moving or cleaning.

• Remember to check and replace your gas hose if there are any signs of wear, cracking, weathering, or damage. Gas hoses should be replaced every 5 years.
• Remember to check the condition of your gas regulator for damage and replace it if there are any concerns. Gas Regulators should be replaced every 10 years.
• Always store your gas bottle outside, upright, and away from any sources of ignition.
• A rain cover is also recommended to cover your gas pizza oven and maintain and protect it from all weather conditions, and it is advisable to store it in a bag if being used for long periods of time.

PIZZA BAKING STONE

• DO NOT use the stone over an open flame.
• Avoid extreme temperature changes to the stone. DO NOT place frozen foods on a hot stone.
• The stone is fragile and can break if bumped or dropped.
• The stone is very hot during use and stays hot for a long time after use. Extra care is needed before removal.
• DO NOT cool the stone with water when the stone is hot. Allow it to cool naturally in the oven before removal.
• DO NOT use cleaning products or chemicals to clean the baking stone; use a dry brush or a damp cloth.
• Your pizza oven will look better and last longer if you keep it clean.

HOW TO COOK A DELICIOUS PIZZA MARGHERITA IN THE DIAVOLO OVEN

INGREDIENTS:

For the dough:

• One DeliVita vegan and organic sourdough ball.
• Flour for dusting

For the toppings:

• 100 grams fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
• 50 grams of pizza tomato sauce
• 10 grams of fresh basil
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven: Before stretching and topping your dough, fire up your Diavolo oven. Aim for 400 to 450 °C (750 to 850 °F) on your pizza stone. You can check this quickly, accurately, and from a safe distance with an infrared thermometer gun.

Knead the dough: Place a dough ball on a floured surface. Working from the centre, push the dough outwards while spreading your fingers, making the disc bigger. Pick up the dough and gently pinch it around the edge, allowing gravity to pull it downwards into a circle with a 12-inch (30-centimetre) diameter.

Add the toppings: With a large spoon or ladle, spread an even layer of your pizza tomato sauce over the base. Top it with fresh basil, followed by the mozzarella and olive oil, spreading both evenly on the dough and leaving room for the cornicione, or crust (about a ½ inch or 1 centimetre). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil.

Baking time: Slide your peel under the pizza and launch it into the oven. Cook for 60 to 90 seconds, turning it every 20 seconds to ensure an even bake and the edges or cornicione are crispy. Remove from the oven, slice, serve, and ENJOY!

Useful Tips: Once you have launched your pizza into the Diavolo, turn your heat down slightly by using the dial to control the heat at the top of the oven to reduce the flame from high speed to half power – this will help you cook your pizza to perfection! Once your pizza is cooked and out of the oven, turn the dial back to high speed. Repeat.
