Allow three days post-installation for drying before using the oven. Gradually increase the temperature over five days to prevent thermal shock to the refractory stone: 100°C for the first two days, 200°C on the third, 300°C on the fourth, and full operation on the fifth day.
Keep flammable materials away from the oven and avoid using flammable liquids for ignition. Maintain safe distances and use appropriate tools. Be cautious of thermal shock and moisture spillage during initial use. Follow safety protocols for both wood-fired and gas-fired ovens.
Place the oven on a stable, flat surface, away from wind and flammable materials. Ensure proper ventilation and follow specific guidelines for gas and wood burner assembly. Use qualified personnel for installation.
Maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm from walls and 50 cm for the flue. Ensure the oven is placed on a stable surface to prevent movement during operation.
Follow detailed steps for attaching the control unit and gas burner. Ensure all connections are secure and check for gas leaks before operation.
Install a dedicated flue with specific dimensions for proper smoke evacuation. Ensure thermal insulation and avoid connecting multiple ovens to the same flue.
Use dry kindling and logs for ignition. Maintain a constant temperature by adding small amounts of wood regularly. Avoid using treated or damp wood.
Follow specific instructions for igniting and adjusting the burners. Ensure all safety checks are completed before use.
Regularly check for cracks and maintain cleanliness. Follow guidelines for long periods of inactivity.
Ensure proper installation and use to maintain warranty validity. Conversion between gas types must be done by specialists using approved kits.
Ensure the flame reaches the center of the oven cupola for correct flow rate. Check flame color with airflow; it should be soft, silent, and yellow without coloring the cupola. Methane: open damper to position 3.5/4; LPG: open damper to position 5.5/6. Refit knob "A" after adjustment.
Press and rotate the selection knob anti-clockwise to "LOW FLAME". Extract knob "A" and adjust high flame height with screw "C". Ensure flame touches cupola without increasing oven temperature.
Loosen hex socket "1" on airflow adjustment bulkhead. Adjust partition "2" for desired airflow. Flame should be blue at base and yellow at tip without forming soot.
Loosen and remove screw "D" to open partition. Dismantle stud bolt "B" and replace nozzle "A" for gas type. Fasten stud bolt "B" and nozzle "A" to fitting "C".
Do not close the oven door with maximum flame. Never exceed 500°C (900°F). Do not disconnect gas pipe while using the oven.
Press "MAIN SWITCH" to ignite burner. Set temperature using up button; rarely exceed 360°C. Drago Control Plus stores set temperature.
F1 is a maintenance flame, not for heating. Flame should be soft, silent, blue at base, yellow at tip. Adjust gas flow to avoid temperature increase and soot.
Use "RESET" button if burner locks. Follow emergency procedure if temperature probe is damaged.
Activates 2nd flame F2 when oven reaches set temperature. Program duration using "+" and "-" buttons.
Use a 10 A bipolar circuit breaker with a 2 A fuse. Ensure proper earthing and avoid reversing phase and neutral wires.
Inspect and clean chimney flue annually. Remove ash and clean oven floor with a damp cloth when cold. Avoid using chemicals for cleaning.
12-month warranty against conformity defects. Report defects within 8 days of discovery. Keep purchase receipt for warranty claims.
The document outlines the warranty conditions for ALFA products, emphasizing that the warranty covers defects related to materials or manufacturing. ALFA reserves the right to repair, replace, or substitute defective parts. The warranty does not cover damages caused by improper use, installation, or maintenance, nor does it cover normal wear and tear, oxidation due to saline environments, or damages from using non-recommended fuels or parts.
Detailed instructions are provided for the initial ignition of wood-fired ovens. The process spans five days, gradually increasing the temperature to ensure the refractory material dries properly. Specific temperatures and durations are recommended for each day to prevent thermal shock and damage.
The document includes comprehensive safety warnings and installation guidelines. It stresses the importance of proper positioning, maintaining safe distances from flammable materials, and ensuring stability. For gas models, it highlights the need for proper ventilation and inspection for gas leaks.
Step-by-step instructions are provided for assembling the oven base, control unit, and gas burner. The document emphasizes the importance of using appropriate tools and following safety precautions during assembly.
The document specifies that each oven must have its own chimney to ensure proper smoke evacuation. It advises consulting local fire authorities for any installation restrictions or inspection requirements.
- Use stainless steel connectors with appropriate diameter and insulation for existing or improperly sized chimneys.
- Seal with high-temperature resistant materials (450°C).
- Avoid sharp edges, deviations, and constrictions inside the chimney to ensure smooth ascent of hot fumes.
- Chimney curves should be less than 45°.
- To prevent smoke return, extend the chimney cap above the highest roof point and in a wind-exposed position.
- Do not connect other ducts to the oven chimney.
- Ensure the chimney is well insulated to prevent heat loss.
- Installation must be performed by specialized personnel.
- Correct chimney diameter varies with height:
- H < 3 m: D 300 mm
- 3 m < H < 5 m: D 250 mm
- H > 5 m: D 200 mm
- The pyrometer measures temperature at a point in the oven, providing indicative values for cooking readiness.
- Alfa Pro offers a Laser Thermometer as an optional tool.
- Use the door to regulate flames if excessive fire exits the oven mouth.
- Keep the door open when the flame is on to reduce fire risk.
- Extinguish by closing the door and waiting for ash formation.
- Use metal tools to remove ash once the oven cools.
- For lighting, start with small, dry wood and gradually add larger logs.
- Maintain temperature by adding small amounts of wood regularly.
- Check all gas connections before use.
- Do not lean over the oven during gas ignition.
- Open the oven mouth during ignition.
- Follow specific steps for pilot flame ignition and burner operation.
- Adjust high and low flames using specific knobs and screws.
- Ensure flame color is appropriate for gas type (methane or LPG).
- Follow steps for converting between LPG and methane.
- Replace ignition batteries as needed.
- Follow procedures to reset the burner if blocked during initial ignition.
- Contact technical service if issues persist.
