You MUST inspect your oven and accessories order entirely for ANY order discrepancies upon accepting at delivery. Notify us immediately if any issues. We will NOT be held responsible for order discrepancies, including missing items, after the 5-day grace period.

Please click the LINKS below for IMPORTANT seasoning/curing instructions and handy hints. Please note: you will receive 4 x small metal rods with your oven (inside oven) that can be inserted into the oven base for lifting. 

Please follow the Curing and Seasoning Guide for your new wood-fired oven. It is a VERY IMPORTANT part of getting the oven ready for use and for the long life of the pizza oven. Once the curing is completed, we recommend using quality DRY hardwood as this will help with heat performance and cooking results. 

LIGHTING THE FIRE
The fire should be established in the middle/centre of the oven and then moved to the back or side.
Avoid excessively large fires and extreme temperatures. The oven should NOT be overloaded with wood causing large flames and fire to go up the flue chimney pipe or to spill out of the mouth arch entrance as this can damage the flue and front arch.

PROTECT WITH A COVER
We recommend using a protective cover for all pizza ovens installed outdoors and exposed to the elements. A cover helps protect your oven from rain and weather exposure, minimise moisture absorption and maintain its external finish.

If your Royal Pizza Oven is installed in an exposed outdoor area, we strongly recommend purchasing a protective cover to help protect your investment and maintain the condition of your oven.

The Royal Wood Fired Pizza Oven stand trolley will need additional screws fitted. Xclusive décor have instructed 2 tek screws per leg (1 at the top and 1 at the bottom) 8 total (12x20 hex tek screws). Please note the stand should be installed on a flat solid concrete base and take care when moving.   

Ready Built Ovens

We can recommend experienced installers and heavy lifting specialists that can lift and move heavy ready built ovens from your driveway into your backyard area. Including lifting and moving equipment, trollies, hoists etc.

DIY: You can hire lifting and moving equipment from Kennards Hire.

Try your local heavy lifting and moving removalists, labour hire and equipment services (eg. ute with hydraulic crane or Hi-ab crane).

There are a few things to consider when getting a pizza oven. 

Does your property have flat, wide, and easy access? 
If your property has stairs, narrow pathways, a steep driveway, or gates, be sure to check the size and weight of the oven to ensure that the oven will be appropriate for your property. 

To install your new pizza oven, we recommend using a dolly trolley to move the oven to your desired location and using an engine hoist to be able to safely lift your oven.

Outside oven dome or hood:

It will depend on the oven model. The concrete rendered heavy duty ovens are normally warm to touch on the outside dome.

Other ovens and stainless steel ovens may reach temperatures approx 50-70c on the outer sides. The base of the stainless steel ovens can reach temperatures of 80c.

Heat Transfer to bench:

The temperature under the cooking floor of the oven will vary, depending on the size of the fire and the oven however, approx. 80C degrees is common.

Our ovens has been designed for outdoor use. However ovens require “all-weather” protection from rain and the harsh elements when not in use.  We supply high quality, weatherproof, UV resistant, custom-made covers.  Please contact us if you would like to order one.

It is reccomended to be placed away from any flammable material. It is important that there are no obstructions and that there is free space around the oven of at least 20 centimetres.

You can install or build your wood fired oven outdoors or in an alfresco outdoor area under a roof.

We find that many local councils do not have an issue and generally do not have any specific rules in regards to having a pizza oven at home. However to avoid any issues, please feel free to contact local council to confirm this is the case for your area.

Install your oven on a flat, level surface. Ideally Hebel or concrete bench top is preferred on a Brick or Besser Block or a steel metal stand.

Ensure that the support base or bench structure can hold the weight of the oven and the bench dimensions suit the oven size. (please refer to product description).

For most family size pizza ovens a support base bench 1200Wx 1200D x 1000H will suit. For our XL ovens please check our product FAQs document.

Using the dimension specifications found in our product descriptions, draw a full scale outline of the particualr oven on a large piece of paper or cardboard. This way you can see if the oven will fit in the desired location.

BENCH TOP MATERIALS & OUTDOOR KITCHEN BENCHES

You may consider bench top materials that are non combustible and heat resistant
for example tiles, natural granite stone or Dekton (type of porcelain).

We recommend you speak to your benchtop installer so they are aware of your intended oven installation.

We cannot recommend mounting ovens onto engineered (man made) stone benches. However, some clients successfully mount light-weight smaller ovens (with bench mount
short legs) on to this type of engineered stone bench tops with no issues. These
ovens with bench mount short legs allow air flow and help raise the oven cooking
floor off the bench surface. You can also lay a sheet of non combustible 6mm cement
board sheeting under the oven for added insulation and protection.

Cement board sheeting: for example Villaboard James Hardie
from Bunnings.

INSTALLING THE PIZZA OVEN UNDER A ROOF:

Do I need to extend the flue through the roof?

You may not need to extend/divert the flue or install a flue roof kit If the pizza oven is located in a well ventilated outdoor area with open sides and a high roof. There may be no issues if the outdoor area under the roof is well ventilated. We suggest that you initially install the pizza oven and use the oven a couple of times to determine the smoke output. If smoke is an issue you can use 45o degree bends and extensions to divert the flue out of the area past the roof or nstall a flue system through the roof.

We recommend that you can contact your local fireplace shop or flue chimney supplier for Flues and Triple Skin Insulated Flue Roof Kits. We highly recommend that the flue is installed by an experienced, qualified flue chimney installer (licensed plumber or builder) to meet Aus. Standard AS291.

You may need a double or “Triple Skin Insulated 4 x metre Flue Kit” to meet Aus Standard AS2918 if the flue is going through an insulated roof or within 25mm of combustible materials (e.g., plaster, timber frames etc).

If your flue chimney is not going through a roof, you may only require “Single Skin” extra lengths of flue pipe (and bends) to extend or divert the flue.

STAINLESS
STEEL OR BLACK FLUES:

The stainless steel flue pipes can be spray painted black easily with Stove Bright Black Fireplace Heatproof spray paint.

Royal & Royal Max
