INTENDED USE:
Alfresco Chef Ovens are intended for outdoor use only.

proximity to any enclosed area.
• Position the oven on a flat, hard, stable surface. Keep it clear and free from
flammable or combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable liquids.
• Do not use flammable liquids or any fuels that have been presoaked in
flammable liquid, around the oven whilst it is lit.
• Only use kiln dried hardwood.
• Do not exceed temperate above 450°C. Exceeding this temperature could
lead to personal injury and/or damage to the oven that is not covered by
warranty.
• Do not operate in high winds.
• Always wear heat resistant protective gloves when handling the oven.
• The oven will be extremely hot during use. Use caution when adding
hardwood to the fire.

SAFETY INstRUCTIONS
8
READ ALL SAFETY NOTES ABOVE BEFORE USING THE OVEN
WOOD
Use a kiln dried hardwood with a moisture content of 10% or less.
Using softwood or hardwood with a high moisture content will limit the
performance significantly and could damage your oven.
DOOR
Use the door when heating up, baking and roasting. It can also be used
between pizzas to maintain temperature. Always take care to use an oven
mitt when holding the door handle.
FIRE BRICK TILES
Be careful of the tiles when moving the oven. Spare tiles are available from
the manufacturer at an additional cost.
DAMPER
Use the damper on the chimney to measure airflow through the oven. The
more air flowing through the oven the hotter the oven will be. To roast and
bake, close the damper when the wood has burnt to embers. Always allow
wood to burn before closing the damper, otherwise it may smoke heavily.
It is recommended that a fire extinguisher is kept nearby at all times.
INstRUCTIONS for use
9
LIGHTING THE OVEN
Place a natural fire starter inside
the centre of the oven. We
recommend using a Woodson
Firestarter.
1
Place two medium sized logs
either side of the fire starter, and
two smaller ones directly above a
natural fire starter. You may need
to use some kindling around the
base of the fire too.
2
Light the fire starter, ensuring
that the kindling and/or logs start
to burn well. The wood should
not smoulder or smoke before
catching fire. If it does, use wood
that has less moisture.
3
Once the fire is established, keep
adding small and medium pieces
of wood to ensure that the dome
and tiles heat through well. Use
the door with a sizeable gap to
retain more heat and speed up
the heating process.

10
PIZZAS
Once the oven reaches 350°C, use an ember rake to push the wood to one
side, then brush off the ash with the brass brush. Add more wood to push the
temperature to 400°C.
You can now start to place pizzas on the opposite side to your fire. Again,
use the door to maintain/recover heat to cooking temperature (370°C+) if
necessary.
To ensure an even bake, use turning peel or pizza peel to rotate pizza
throughout the cook.
BAKING & ROASTING
Follow instructions until the end of step 2. Add logs until the temperature
is above your target cooking temperature, then allow the logs to burn to
embers. Have the door slightly open to maintain the temperature inside the
oven as the wood burns down.
Once the wood has burned to embers, control the temperature of the oven by
using the damper and the door.
If the oven cools, use small pieces of wood to restore the temperature,
opening the door and damper to allow the wood to burn fully before closing
again.
It may be useful to spread the embers along the back of the oven for a more
uniform heat.
oven maintenance
STORING THE OVEN
To prevent rusting and weather damage, we recommend that your oven is
kept under a waterproof cover when not in use.
