Installation / Assembly Installation / Assembly Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children under the age of five. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your equipment.
Installation / Assembly Gas Requirements and Connection IMPORTANT: Cal Flame™ pizza ovens are manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP) but can be converted to natural gas (NG). To verify the oven’s operating fuel, check the serial number label in the back of the chassis. Either LP or NG will be marked on the operating tab, indicating the proper operating fuel. Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the pizza oven is manufactured for.
Installation / Assembly LP Gas Hook Up Vent the enclosure for an LP gas cylindar with openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at the floor level. • Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter rod. Ensure one side of the enclosure is completely open. Transporting and Storing LP Gas For enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top and bottom: Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Installation / Assembly Installing the Pizza Oven in a Barbecue Island Your Cal Flame™ pizza oven is designed for easy installation into a non-combustible enclosure. The supporting deck or counter must be flat and level. When determining the final location of your pizza oven, adequate cross ventilation must be present to prevent gas from being trapped in the event of a leak. The drawing at right shows the cut-out dimensions for the drop-in pizza oven.
Operating Your Pizza Oven Operating Your Pizza Oven Read all instructions before use. We recommend you wash your entire pizza oven with soap and water prior to lighting it for the first time. Oils are used during the manufacturing process and some residual oil may still be on the stainless steel parts of your pizza oven. Washing will reduce the possibility of discoloration. We also recommend you keep your pizza oven covered when not in use.
Operating Your Pizza Oven Basic Operation Before lighting, make sure the burner control is off. Do not attempt to light the burner if the smell of gas is present. Check the connection with a soap and water solution after attaching the hose. For LP units, make sure there is gas in the tank and it is sitting upright. For natural gas units, make sure the shut off valve is on. 3. Turn the control knob to HIGH and preheat the oven for 15 minutes. Close the door during the preheat period. 1.
Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning and Maintenance To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully. Clean internal parts regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire pizza oven should be cleaned at least once a year. In addition, keep the area around your pizza oven clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
