Cooking - Alfa Pro QUATTRO PRO Manual Del Usario

COOKING

The Quattro Pro oven is distinguished by how quickly it reaches the cooking temperature, in fact, it is possible to
bake the first pizza just 40 minutes after lighting it, with an average wood consumption rate of 9 kg/h.
If you need to bake pizza and other foods in close succession, we recommend running a medium fire that can be
fed according to need. For example, 40 minutes after lighting the oven it is possible to bake the first pizza, then
spread the embers over the refractory floor to grill meat, fish or vegetables.
It is also possible to keep food warm by placing it near the opening of the oven.
MAINTENANCE
- Creosote - Formation and need for removal. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool
oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining
and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
- The oven flue should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when creosote buildup has occurred.
- When creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce risk of fire.
- For proper maintenance of the oven, make sure before you turn it on that the chimney flue is free from any ob-
jects and that ash from previous cooking has been removed.
- Remove the embers when the ash has extinguished.
- 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.
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.
