Fig.B Foamy bubbles indicate a leak Connection in assembly Connections to be leak tested Regulator into cylinder Hose to regulator Hose to appliance http://www. youtube.com /watch?v=8L pZ1B0m23Y &feature=plcp How to do a leak test LEAK TEST The leak test must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free from any flames or other sources of ignition. • With the cylinder connected to the Gas Pizza Oven. Open the cylinder valve. • Brush the connections (Gas Pizza Oven to cylinder) with a solution of equal parts soap and water (must be foamy). • A stream of bubbles forming indicates a gas leak. (See Fig.B) • If bubbles appear, turn the cylinder valve OFF (clockwise) and disconnect the Gas Pizza Oven from the gas cylinder. • Tighten the connection and retry the leak test. • If you are unsure or if you cannot tighten the connection, place the cylinder outside in a cool, well-ventilated area and contact Alva on 086 100 ALVA (2582). • A leak between the Gas Pizza Oven and cylinder can lead to a high pressure fire, which is very dangerous and can result in extensive injury or even death. Checking the Burner flame for indication of a gas leak: Ignite the burner and rotate the knob from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW than in HIGH. Always check the flame prior to each use. A good flame should be blue with minimal yellow tipping. Some yellow tips on flames are accept- able as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.

ignite, turn the control knob off (clockwise) and also turn the cylinder valve off. Wait five�minutes�before� attempting to relight following the correct ignition sequence. If�the�burner�flame�is� accidentally extin- guished, turn the knob to OFF and wait 5 min- utes before attempting to reignite. LIGHTING YOUR GAS PIZZA OVEN Lighting Instructions: 1. Connect the gas cylinder to the Gas Pizza Oven using the LP Regulator. 2. DO NOT tilt the oven over while igniting. 3. Remove all items from the oven to create a free flow of air. 4. Keep the oven door cover open. DO NOT attempt to light the oven with the cover closed. 5. Depress the knob and turn it anti-clockwise, keep it depressed for 5 seconds, this will create a spark which will ignite the burner directly. NOTE: Try the above process several times until you light the burner. A failure to ignite the first time might be as a result of air in the burner and gas tube. 6. You can view the flame to ensure the burner has ignited. 7. Adjust the knob to the desired heat setting. 8. To turn ‘OFF’ the Gas Pizza Oven, close the cylinder valve and turn the control knob on the appliance clockwise to the “OFF” position once the flames have extinguished. FLASHBACK (FLAME IN BURNER TUBE) In the event of flash back whilst the oven is in use, turn all the controls and the cylinder valve to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the oven. If the problem per- sists, check for blocked venturi ports by removing the burner and cleaning with compressed air or with a pipe cleaner. Replace burner correctly. If problem persists do not try to rectify the problem yourself as this could result in serious injury and/or property damage. Do not store your gas cylinder in doors. Store in a well ventilated area away from direct sunlight or an electrical source.

REGULATOR AND HOSE Use only regulators and hose approved for LPG in accordance to the South African National Standards. STORAGE FIXINGS Annual checking and tightening of metal fixings is recommended. STORING YOUR GAS PIZZA OVEN THE GAS CYLINDER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED AND STORED OUTDOORS OR IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. When using the Gas Pizza Oven after extended periods of storage, please take note once again of the care, maintenance and safety instructions. The appliance can be stored indoors if not connected to the cylinder. Store the appliance on a stable, level surface out of reach of children. Store the appliance in a clean dry environment. GAS CYLINDER A 9kg ALVA gas cylinder with a 5/8 inch BSP left hand thread is recommended. Cylinders must be stored in an upright position, in a well ventilated and damp free area and out of reach of children. CLEANING AND CARE CARE Regular care of your Gas Pizza Oven will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only when the Gas Pizza Oven is cool and with the gas supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware that may become loose. Clean when warm. While wearing gloves wipe the Gas Pizza Oven clean.

The burner tube is fitted with mesh covers to assist in preventing insects and debris entering the tube. Insects and debris can still cause a blockage in the burner tube. This can be a serious problem potentially preventing gas flow and can even cause a fire at the gas control valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to your Gas Pizza Oven. To prevent insect or debris related problems, inspect the burner tube regularly and clean out any dirt. Insure that the burner tube is relocated correctly, following any disassembly. ANNUAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Once a year is a good practice to clean the whole Gas Pizza Oven. As always, be certain the Gas Pizza Oven is cool enough to touch and gas supply is turned off. Wear gloves. Cleaning should be done where detergent won’t harm the work surface or lawn. Disconnect the gas supply and remove the gas supply cylinder. Tighten any loose hardware. STAINLESS STEEL CARE In order to preserve the stainless steel on your oven, we suggest applying a thin film of baby oil to the stainless steel body components of your oven on a regular basis. This is especially important at the coast. Once applied, you can wipe all excess baby oil residue off with a clean cloth. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER Failure to follow these instructions may cause the oven to rust OUTSIDE SURFACE Use a mild detergent or a baking soda and hot water solution. Non-abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn stains, then rinsed with water. Clean thoroughly with a strong hot soapy water solution. Rinse with water and allow to dry completely. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER. INTERIOR OF GAS PIZZA OVEN BOTTOM Remove residue using a brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad then wash with a soapy water solution. Rinse with water and allow it to dry. PIZZA STONE Wait for 15 minutes after turning off the oven for the pizza stone to cool. Clean the pizza stone surface using a dry metal brush, no water or wet cloth required. NOTE: Do not use any soapy solutions, this will penetrate into porous pizza stone and cause a permanent soapy after taste to your cooked pizza.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: How long will the gas in my cylinder last? A: This depends on how you use your Gas Pizza Oven. It is easy to calculate your gas consumption. Take the capacity of the gas cylinder in grams (i.e. 9000g for a 9kg cylinder) and divide it by the gas consumption of the appliances. The answer to the calculation is the approximate number of hours that your gas will last for.

A: The best method to determine if your cylinder is over- filled is to weigh it. Subtract the ‘tare’ mass from the cylinder weight – this gives you the weight of your gas. If this gas weight exceeds your cylinder design weight (9 kg) then return the cylinder to your gas supplier.
