CLEANING
- When the fire has gone out and the oven is not hot enough, collect the ashes left over from previous cooking
with a metallic brush and a pan.
- Clean the oven floor (when the oven is cold) with a brush and gently wipe the oven floor with a damp cloth after
each use.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the external sheet.
- Apply a light coat of vaseline to make the metal shine.
- Remove and clean the chimney flue once a year; animals may nest there and/or ash may block the passage of
smoke.
- If traces of rust begin to appear, clean with a polishing brush and apply a thin coat of vaseline.
- Do not use chemical products to clean the oven.
- Do not clean the product when it is in use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF THE OVEN PRODUCES SMOKE
- Check that the wood is not too moist and the embers are not unburned.
- Make sure that you have started a fire with vivid flames, gradual but steady, in order to avoid incomplete com-
bustion.
- If the oven is installed indoors, check the chimney flue and any air inlets in the room.
- It is recommended to close the oven door.
IF THE OVEN DOES NOT HEAT
- Check that the fire is on one side of the oven and not near the mouth.
- Fire with vivid flames for 20 minutes.
- Do not amass the wood over the embers.
- Gradually add the wood to the fire.
IF THE OVEN COOLS DOWN QUICKLY
- Check that no moisture or water has infiltrated the oven.
- It may be lit for the first time or after a long idle period.
- Avoid sudden short fires that do not warm the bottom of the oven.
IF THE FLAMES COME OUT OF THE MOUTH OR CHIMNEY CAP
- Avoid excessive fires and immediately dampen the flames that reach out of the oven by resting the door over
the mouth of the oven, leaving a gap of 2 or 3 cm.
IF THE OVEN DOESN'T COOK AS YOU WOULD LIKE
- Ensure the oven is at the right temperature.
- Ensure the oven maintains the desired temperature for the duration of the cooking time; use the counter to
adjust the heat intensity as well as the flame adjuster: open and close it to raise or lower the temperature as
necessary.
