Frequently Asked Questions - Nero Burnhard

Where can I use the Nero pizza oven?

The Nero pizza oven must be used exclusively outdoors on a flat, non-combustible surface. Never use it indoors (building, tent, caravan, etc.) due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

What fuels can I use?

You can use wood, charcoal, briquettes or pellets. The maximum capacity is 400 g. Never use alcohol or gasoline to light the fire.

How do I light the pizza oven?

Place the firelighter in the center of the fire chamber filled with fuel, cover with small pieces of wood or charcoal, then light. Push the fire chamber into the oven and wait for the fuel to burn evenly. Use a blowtorch if necessary.

How do I regulate the temperature?

The temperature is indicated by the built-in thermometer. For optimal cooking, wait until the temperature exceeds 400 °C. Add fuel through the filling hopper if the temperature drops.

How do I clean the pizza stone?

Remove the cold stone and scrape off burned residue with a scraper or knife. If you rinse it with water, do not use detergent and dry it at 80 °C in an oven for 3 hours or air dry for 24 hours.

What if the pizza burns on one side?

Turn the pizza 180° after about 45 seconds of cooking. The side near the fire chamber receives more heat.

How do I safely extinguish the oven?

Close the door and let it cool for at least 2 hours (up to 4 hours). For quick cooling, wear heat-resistant gloves, remove the fire chamber and empty the ashes into a bucket of water. Open the door and let it cool for 30 minutes.

Can I use the oven in strong wind?

No, never use the oven in very strong wind. Wind can affect performance and increase the risk of fire or injury.

What is the warranty on the oven?

The Nero pizza oven comes with a 2-year legal warranty. Beyond that, any claim requires proof of purchase. Wear parts are excluded.

How do I store the oven after use?

Let it cool completely, fold the stainless steel legs and remove the chimney for compact storage. Store in a dry place protected from weather, and cover with a resistant tarpaulin.

MEASURES TO BE TAKEN WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

WARNING: Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning! Only operate the pizza oven outdoors and not in enclosed spaces!

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, feebleness, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide impairs the blood's capacity to transfer oxygen. Low blood oxygen content might result in unconsciousness or even death.

- Immediately visit a doctor if you or another person develop symptoms of a cold or flu during operation of the pizza oven!

- Alcohol and drug consumption reinforce the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

- Carbon monoxide is particularly dangerous for: pregnant women and their unborn child, small children, the elderly, smokers, and people with cardiovascular diseases such as anaemia and heart disease.

- Bring surrounding people to safety.

- If a grease fire erupts, close the door until the fire extinguishes. NEVER leave the door open during a grease fire.

- WARNING: Never attempt to extinguish an oil or grease fire with water.

- Stay away from the source of fire and immediately inform the firefighting department.

FIRST-AID MEASURES

Measures to take after serious burns or scalding

• There is an acute risk of hypothermia and shock. Immediately call the rescue services!
• Immediately extinguish burning clothes with water or suffocate the flames with a heavy blanket.
  • In case of burns: Leave clothing on the body.
  • In case of scalding: Immediately remove clothing from the body.
• Cool the affected areas with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain subsides.
• Afterwards, cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline burn sheet. Place the side coated with Metalline onto the damaged skin and affix lightly with a gauze bandage or a triangular bandage.
• Do not use any "home remedies" such as ointments, powders, oils, disinfectants, etc.!

Measures to take after light burns or scalding

• In case of burns: Only remove clothing from the body if it doesn't stick.
• In case of scalding: Immediately remove clothing from the body.
• Cool the affected areas with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain subsides. Allow minor burns or scalding without any blister formation to heal in fresh air, do not cover with a band-aid or bandage.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Dampen a sponge with lukewarm water. Wring it out thoroughly and wipe the pizza stone clean once to remove production residues.
2. Clean the inside of the oven with water and a mild detergent to remove any production residues.
3. The oven must be burned-in before making your first pizza. Note that the fuel should be glowing for at least 30 minutes.

Always wear fireproof gloves while firing the pizza oven.

WOOD FIRING

1. Remove the firebox and fill it with fitting logs. Put a grill lighter in the middle (Warning! Don't use liquid starters like spirit or petrol), cover it with a few sticks or thin firing woods and ignite it.
2. Push the firebox into the pizza oven and wait until the wood burns evenly.
3. Place 1-2 logs over the filling shaft and wait until the wood has burnt through, and is covered with a layer of ash and no more smoke escapes from the chimney.
4. When the oven thermometer shows around 400^ C, open the door and push the pizza to the center of the stone. Close the door.
5. Rotate the pizza by 180^ once after 45 seconds.
6. You can observe the baking process of your pizza through the damper. Do not open the door during the baking process - otherwise valuable heat is lost.
7. After 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pizza dough, your pizza is ready.

FIRING WITH COAL, BRIQUETTES OR PELLETS

1. Put the coal, briquettes or pellets with the grill lighter into the firebox. As soon as it starts to burn, push the box into the pizza oven.
2. Pile up more coal, briquettes or pellets via the chute.
3. Wait until the coal or briquettes are completely burnt through, covered with a layer of ash and no more smoke escapes from the chimney.
4. When the oven thermometer shows around 400^ C, open the door and push the pizza to the center of the stone. Close the door.
5. Rotate the pizza by 180^ once after 45 seconds.
6. You can observe the baking process of your pizza through the damper.
7. After 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pizza dough, your pizza is ready.

The process will work even faster when you burn the coal or briquettes in a separate igniting place and fill the pure ember into the firebx.

TIP: You can also light your combustible with a blowpipe. In order to do that, fill your firebox with wood, coal, briquettes or pellets. Put the box into the back of the oven and hold the blowpipe from the outside in the box.

REFILLING OF COMBUSTIBLES

Always use fireproof gloves when filling and emptying the firebox.

Thanks to its double stainless steel cover with a wool filling, the inside of the pizza oven will be kept hot constantly for a very long time. If you notice the temperature is dropping, pile up a new charge of combustibles (wood, coal, briquettes or pellets) into the firebox via the filling chute. Until you start baking the next pizza, you must wait until the combustibles have burnt through or no more smoke is rising from the chimney.

1. Close the door and let the oven burn out after use. This pprocess can take up to 4 hours.
2. For quicker storing of the oven put on fireproof gloves, remove the firebox and put the contents into a bucket filled with water. Open the door of the pizza oven and allow the oven to cool completely for about 30 minutes.

CLEANING THE OVEN

1. Allow the oven to cool down completely.
2. Empty the firebox after every use and sweep out the ashes completely with a brush.
3. Both the interior and exterior can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent.
4. If the pizza oven is used regularly, the chimney should be removed and washed out every 4 weeks, to rinse off the soot layer.

CLEANING THE PIZZA STONE

1. Remove the pizza stone from the pizza oven and carefully scrape off residues from the stone with a hob scraper or a sharp knife.
2. The pizza stone is an object of utility and over the time, it will get stains from burnt-in ingredients. This is completely usual and will not interfere with the functioning of the stone.
3. If you want to wash the stone with water, do not use detergent. After washing it with water, let the stone dry in an oven for at least 3 hours at 80^ C . You can also leave it to air-dry in a warm spot for 24 hours.

STORING PIZZA OVEN NERO

1. The pizza oven comes with 4 foldable stainless steel feet. The oven can be stored and transported more easily with the feet folded in. If you don't use the oven for a longer time and if you want to save space, you can also remove the chimney.
2. To prevent rusting and weathering, the pizza oven should always be stored in a dry environment after it has completely cooled down. Cover the oven with a weather-resistant tarpaulin or store it in the cellar or garden house.

Please read the following steps if the device does not work properly:

Problem Solution
The fire blows out frequently. Make	sure that you don’t add to many combustibles at once via the shaft.This may smother the fire.
The oven won’t get hot. Strong wind	can impair the heating performance. Place the pizza oven in a wind-protected location.The fire is not burning properly.The thermometer is broken. Replace it.
The pizza turns black on one side.	Rotate your pizza by 180° after 45 seconds. The side, which is near the firebox, will receive more radiant heat than the one facing the door. To ensure evenly baking, turn the pizza.
