Frequently Asked Questions - 5 Minuti ALFA

How do I light the ALFA 5 Minuti pizza oven?

Ensure the gas control knob is off. Open the gas cylinder valve. Press and turn the knob to the 'Ignition' position while pressing the piezo igniter button repeatedly until the burner lights. Then adjust to desired flame.

What is the ideal temperature for baking pizza?

For a Neapolitan-style pizza, preheat the oven to 400°C (752°F) for at least 20 minutes. The stone should be very hot to ensure a crispy crust.

How long does it take to cook a pizza?

At maximum temperature, a pizza typically cooks in 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Rotate it halfway for even browning.

Can I use the oven on natural gas?

Yes, the ALFA 5 Minuti is convertible to natural gas. You need a conversion kit (sold separately) and must have it installed by a qualified technician.

How do I clean the pizza stone?

Allow the stone to cool completely. Scrape off stuck food residues with a metal spatula. Do not use soap or water, as the stone is porous. For deep cleaning, burn off residues by heating the oven for 30 minutes.

What type of gas does the oven use?

The oven comes pre-configured for LPG (propane or butane). Use a gas regulator suitable for your region.

Can I use wood instead of gas?

No, the 5 Minuti model is designed exclusively for gas operation. Wood models are available under other ALFA series.

The oven doesn't heat up evenly. What should I do?

Check that the burner ports are not blocked. Ensure the oven is on a level surface. Also, the stone must be fully preheated for at least 15 minutes after reaching temperature.

Is the oven safe for indoor use?

No, this oven is for outdoor use only. It produces carbon monoxide and must be used in a well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.

Where can I buy spare parts like the pizza stone?

Spare parts are available from your local ALFA dealer or directly from the ALFA website. The part number for the stone is typically ALF-5M-STONE.

OVEN USE

WARNING: Follow the instructions before turning on the oven.

• Do not use flammable liquids or other fuels to light the oven.
• Make sure that there are no flammable materials near the oven and that the minimum safety distance is respected.

LIGHTING

1. Make a small pile of wood in the centre of the oven with small pieces of dry wood.
2. When the wood is well-lit, add two larger logs and move the fire to one side.
3. After a few minutes of continuous burning, never excessive, the temperature of 250° C/482°F will be reached, burning to a dark soot. This is the moment the oven is ready to be used.

TURNING OFF

-To turn the oven off, close the oven door and wait for ash to form.

- When the oven has been completely turned off for 30 minutes you can remove the ashes.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF WOOD

• Use small sized wood pieces that are very dry, above all for lighting.
• Each wood type provides a fragrance to food in a different way, for example wood from fruit trees is used to give food a more appetising aroma similarly, maple, walnut and chestnut go well for other foods like meat.
  -Treated wood, resin or scrap wood are strictly excluded.
• Wet or damp wood can pop due to the increased volume of water. This will produce a lot of smoke and less heat.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

-Do not exceed the temperature limit of 450°C / 840°F
-Do not leave the oven unattended when the fire is going.

- To keep constant temp, throw in small quantities of firewood at regular intervals; do not keep adding more logs to avoid a dangerous rise in temperature or flames spilling out of the oven that might damage people or things.

OVEN USE

WARNING: Follow the instructions before turning on the oven.

• Check all gas connections for gas leak before starting your oven.
• Do not lean over the oven when lighting. Keep your face and body at least 50 cm / 19,6 inches far from the oven door,
  -When lighting the oven, the oven door must be open.

• The burner control knob must be in the off position before turning on the LGP cylinder valve.
  -Do not move the oven while it is in use.

• To ignite the pilot light, press and rotate the knob together with the piezo ignition button that discharges a spark to ignite the pilot light. To extinguish the flame on the main burner and leave only the pilot light on, turn the knob to the star. If the flame does not light, release the knob back to "zero position", wait for about 3 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.

• Press and rotate the knob anti-clockwise and turn it on high flame;
• Press and rotate the knob and position it on low flame;
• To turn the main burner and the pilot light off completely, turn the knob to the dot.

In the first few times it may be necessary to keep pressed the knob to the ON position for a few minutes in order to drain the gas inside the piping.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

• Never run at maximum for more than 40 minutes.
  -Do not close the door when the oven is lit with the flame at the maximum position.
  -Do not exceed the temperature limit of 450° C / 840° F.
• Never disconnect the gas pipe or other fittings when using the oven.

COOKING

- Always preheat the oven before cooking; heat for 15 minutes, or until the thermometer reaches 350-400°C / 660-750°F; once the temperature has been reached, wait a few minutes for it to stabilise to ensure that the oven floor warms up properly.

-Calculate longer cooking time for cold or ventilated days or high altitudes. Calculate a shorter cooking time if the external temperature is particularly high.

-Cooking times vary according to weather conditions or the amount, dimensions and shape of the food to be cooked.

ADVICE FOR COOKING PIZZA

- Wait for around 15 minutes after lighting the oven with a high quantity of wood to reach the optimum temperature for cooking an excellent Neapolitan pizza (with an increased level of moisture):

- Air temperature of 400°C/750°F,

- Refractory floor temperature of 350° C/660°F.

-Once the optimum temperature is reached,

- FOR THE WOOD-FIRED OVEN: just add some logs every 3-5 minutes to maintain constant temperature and churn out pizzas back to back,

- FOR THE GAS-FIRED OVEN: adjust the flame and churn out pizzas back to back.

- Check that there is no build-up of grease, and, if present, remove to prevent the grease from catching fire.

- During cooking do not lean over the open oven and do not place hands or fingers on the front edge of the oven.

- During cooking the oven will have high temperatures, therefore, it should never be moved or left unattended.

PYROMETER

- The pyrometer detects the temperature at a point inside the oven. The value detected by the pyrometer is therefore indicative. With experience it will be easy to better assess when the oven is ready for various types of cooking. You will acquire, therefore, complete control of the oven and you will become very adept at choosing the cooking temperature.

OVEN DOOR

- The door is very effective at adjusting heat intensity: by closing and opening it the temperature may be better managed.

- ONLY WOOD VERSION: If the fire is too high and comes out from the oven mouth, use the door to adjust the flame.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

MAINTENANCE

- For proper maintenance of the oven, make sure before you turn it on that the chimney flue is free from any objects and that ash from previous cooking has been removed.

- The oven can be used all year round; in the winter, heat the oven with a smaller fire to avoid thermal shock due to the humidity.

-Prevent corrosion by coating the oven metal parts with Vaseline.

-It is recommended regular maintenance by a qualified technician.

-Thermometer - clean with warm water and soap with a soft plastic scouring pad.

- Stainless steel surfaces - wash with a soft cloth and a solution of soap and water. Make sure to rub following the grain of the stainless steel. Never use detergents containing acid, white spirit or xylene. Rinse well after cleaning the oven.
