How to Verify if Your Alfa Oven is Properly Installed?
Ensure your Alfa oven is properly installed by checking stability, gas connections, and ignition. Follow these key setup steps for optimal performance.
To ensure your Alfa oven is correctly installed and ready to use, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Check the Structure & Positioning
✔ Stable Base: Place the oven on a flat, stable, and fireproof surface.
✔ Properly Installed Feet: Ensure that the feet are securely attached and the oven is not wobbly.
✔ Leveling: Use a spirit level to check that the oven is perfectly horizontal, ensuring even cooking results.
🚨 Important:
Remove the protective laser film from all stainless steel parts before the first use to prevent unwanted fumes or odors.
2️⃣ Check Installed Components
✔ Chimney & Flue:
Ensure the chimney is firmly attached without gaps or obstructions.
Verify that the chimney cap is properly secured.
✔ Burner (Gas Models Only):
Check that the burner is correctly positioned and that the gas connection is secure.
3️⃣ Test the Gas Connection (For Gas Models Only) 🔥
✔ Hose Connection:
Make sure the gas hose is securely attached without bends or kinks.
✔ Check for Leaks:
✅ Apply soapy water to the gas connections and observe for bubbles while the gas is turned on.
🚫 NEVER use an open flame to check for gas leaks!
✔ If Connected to a Domestic Gas Line:
Make sure other appliances (e.g., boilers, stoves) do not affect gas flow, as insufficient gas pressure can impact oven performance.
4️⃣ Verify Insulation & Structural Integrity
✔ Ensure all components are properly fitted.
✔ Check that there are no loose parts that could affect thermal insulation.
5️⃣ Perform a Test Ignition 🔥
✔ For Wood-Fired Ovens:
✅ Light a small fire and confirm that the oven heats up evenly.
✅ Ensure smoke is properly drawn into the chimney.
✔ For Gas Ovens:
✅ Turn on the gas valve and hold the ignition knob for a few minutes to allow gas to replace any air in the system.
✅ Ignite the burner and check that the flame is stable and evenly distributed.
