Key facts when using a wood-fired oven

Tips for using your Fuego Wood Fired Oven

Important – Read Instructions

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

Cure your oven

Follow the instructions for curing the oven. Failure to follow the curing instructions can cause damage to the oven, and will void the warranty.

Keeping Safe Distances

Always ensure that children and pets are kept at a safe distance from the wood-fired oven, both during and after operation. We suggest children under the age of 16 should be supervised when using the oven.

Oven Installation

ALWAYS ensure the oven is sited on a level base. The base or stand MUST NOT tilt.

 

Dos and Don’ts 

DO NOT modify the oven in any way from the manufacturer’s design and specification. This will void the warranty.

DO NOT use the oven indoors without the appropriate flue installed and commissioned by an approved installer.

DO NOT block the flue pipe.

ONLY USE untreated, well-seasoned, dry hard wood with a moisture content of less than 20%.

DO NOT attempt to burn rubbish in the wood-fired oven.

DO NOT use any type of flammable liquids or fuels (including, but not limited to: firelighter fluid, petrol, diesel, kerosene, oil or any other flammable chemical compound) at any time to start or maintain a fire.

BEWARE of very high internal temperatures. The mouth of the wood-fired oven and inside the oven will get very hot so take care when using it. We recommend a maximum air temperature of 350°C particularly for prolonged use. At this temperature, the clay in the floor and dome will most likely be in excess of 450°C.

DO NOT place unprotected hands or arms inside the wood-fired oven during and after operation. If any burns or scalds occur, immerse in cold water immediately and seek medical advice.

ENSURE you use long oven gloves and mitts to handle pots and tools, and take care while handling.

DO NOT remove burning logs or embers from the wood-fired oven during or after use.

DO NOT allow the oven to become extremely wet. If your oven becomes wet, follow the curing instructions to dry it out properly before use.

DO NOT use water to calm or extinguish a fire in the wood-fired oven, except in an emergency.

ENSURE all tools, materials, pots and pans used in the wood-fired oven are appropriate for high temperatures in excess of 450°C.

DISPOSE of ash in an appropriate bin, add it to compost or spread it on the garden as a nutrient. Take appropriate action to avoid inhaling any ash or dust.
