USE & CARE GUIDELINES This use & care manual covers the Lynx Napoli Pizza Oven models listed below. Some features and options will vary based upon the model that you purchased. LYNX OVEN MODELS BUILT-IN FREESTANDING LPZA LPZAF COUNTER TOP MODELS LPZA The Napoli Pizza Oven comes equipped with legs ready for counter top installation. For built-in applications remove the legs and follow the cut out dimensions found in this manual.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE REVIEW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE YOU USE YOUR OVEN. 1. NEVER LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING. 12. Do not lean on side shelves and never place a load weighing more than 25 pounds on a side shelf. 2. Always use caution when operating the oven in a windy area. (See INDEX: “Baking in Windy Conditions” for further details.) 13.
BAKING IN WINDY CONDITIONS Outdoor cooking can create more heat than interior kitchen ranges. But there are a few things you can do to further prevent the possibility of improper heat buildup: These high-performance burners require a constant, steady supply of fresh air to mix with the fuel. Your Lynx oven pulls air in through the front and vents hot gases out through the vent stack. • If you suspect the oven is overheating, using an oven mitt, open the front door.
USING YOUR LYNX PIZZA OVEN Best results are achieved when the pizza oven is allowed to preheat a minimum of 35 minutes with the door closed for best performance. Allow a little more time for colder ambient temperatures. With the burners on high the pizza oven internal temperature can reach 700 °F to 800 ° F. After preheating, a medium high setting is an ideal temperature for preparing thin and medium crust pizza.
COOKING SUGGESTIONS NO-COOK PIZZA SAUCE 1 28 oz. Can of San Marzano Tomatoes. Do not drain, use tomatoes and liquid. 1 Tsp Salt 1/2 Tsp Sugar 1 Tsp Minced Garlic 1 Tsp Oregano, dry 1 Tbsp Basil, fresh, finely chopped Directions for Pizza Sauce: 1. Blend all ingredients in a blender, except for basil. 2. Mix in freshly chopped basil and store in an air tight container in the fridge until needed. PIZZA DOUGH Makes 1 large pizza.
COOKING SUGGESTIONS ...continued Make sure the oven is properly preheated before cooking your pizza to prevent sticking to the pizza deck. Similarly, do not use frozen pizza in the oven to prevent sticking and overcooking. Pizzas should not be prepared until ready to go into the oven. Pizzas allowed to sit will tend to stick to the pizza peel or counter top. Cook most medium and smaller pizzas directly on the oven deck at higher temperature for 4 to 8 minutes.
LIGHTING YOUR OVEN WARNING 1. Never attempt to light a burner if you smell gas. 2. Remove the oven door, or pull out the baking tray when lighting your pizza oven. 3. Releasing fuel into a closed oven before lighting will increase the risk of explosion, property damage , personal injury or death. 4. Keep your face and body as far from the oven as possible when lighting.
CLEANING YOUR LYNX OVEN STAINLESS STEEL Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship. In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life of the oven it is important to take the following steps: • After each use wipe down the exterior of the oven to remove grease and splatters.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR LYNX OVEN BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE • Is there fuel supplied to the oven? • Is your propane cylinder empty? Have you recently refilled the propane cylinder? If so, is the connection tight? • Is the main shut-off valve open? • Have you opened the valve on the propane cylinder? • Are you using the correct type of fuel? (LP or Natural Gas) (See INDEX: “Gas Requirements” for further details.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued LOW OR INSUFFICIENT HEAT Ensure that you’ve preheated the burner(s) for at least 20 to 35 minutes with the door closed. Proper leveling during installation is critical. An oven that is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level should be used to level the oven both front-to-back and side-toside. If the low heat problem persists: • Shut off all burner controls and close the LP cylinder valve.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS ...continued in place by two spring tension tabs. The bulbs are easily removable without the use of tools. Simply grasp the glass lens at the outer corners, near the front tension clips and push the lens back. Then, swing the lens down and pull it loose. You may have to loosen the screw to remove the lens. Pull on spring tabs to release light cover Avoid touching the glass of a new bulb.
