My flame is too yellow / too blue Variation in the environment, the food
you cook, ambient temperature and
condition of your Ooni oven may effect
the colour of your flame
My FSD is not functioning correctly There may be soot build up on my FSD
probe
Gas burner for Ooni will not maintain 1. Lack of oxygen
it's flame 2. Oven placed on an uneven surface
I can hear a 'roaring sound' coming Flame is burning within the ventures
from the Gas burner and my flames are
very weak
Prevention / Solution
1. Check the gas bottle is full, even a
bottle with little gas inside may affect
the gas burner performance
2. Ensure there is no cracking or leaking
on the hose
3. Ensure the regulator is properly
fixed to the gas bottle and the
hose is firmly attached to the gas
burner tightened using appropriate
sized wrenches as outlined in the
instruction manual
4 Your gas burner and oven should not
be used in extreme conditions (eg
high wind)
1. Ensure the chimney cap is removed
and the ceiling vents and chimney
vent are open. The door should be
open.
2. Check the gas bottle is full, even a
bottle with little gas inside may affect
the gas burner performance
3. Ensure there is no cracking or leaking
on the hose
4. Turning the dial too quickly may
prevent the gas burner from lighting.
5. Ensure the regulator is properly
fixed to the gas bottle and the
hose is firmly attached to the gas
burner tightened using appropriate
sized wrenches as outlined in the
instruction manual
6. Reposition the sparker tip so it is
2-3 mm away from the front of the
burner cap.
The colour of your flame will
not affect the taste or quality of
your food.
Ensure the gas burner and gas supply is
switched off, wait for the burner to cool
down, gently clean the probe and burner
holes with damp cloth, leave the burner
to fully dry before re-lighting.
1. Open the chimney vent of your Ooni
Karu 16 to encourage better airflow
through the oven
2. If your Ooni is on a slant when set up,
the oxygen will not flow as well. Try
to set up on a flat surface.
Switch off the gas supply and the gas
burner immediately, wait 5 minutes and
relight the gas burner.
