Valoriani Baby
At the first start it takes a little longer, hold the gas for about 30-60 seconds.
The following connection is on the furnace to use a normal pressure reducer:
- ½ inch female thread x ¼ inch male thread (left).
- To connect a ½ inch male thread to a standard propane gas hose (¼ inch union nut), e.g. outdoor gas stove, camping stove, etc.
- for indoor and outdoor appliances.
- material: brass.
- with gasket.
Yes, you can paint the spots. First, please sand the place a little and then cover with heat-resistant stove paint (varnish or spray). The paint is available at the hardware store.
It can be assumed that the fireclay bricks have drawn moisture if the furnace has not been in operation for a long time and it has also rained frequently. In this case, we recommend heating the furnace at least 2 more times for at least 3 hours to achieve drying of the fireclay bricks. Then everything should work as usual.
Yes, this is quite important. We will explain how you can do it easily:
- Prepare a few small pieces of wood with a length of 20 cm and about 4cm in diameter.
- When the stove is fired for the first time, it should be around 100 degrees. For this, a small fire is enough. Let the fire burn at a moderate flame for a few hours.
- When only embers are left, close the oven door. The baby still keeps the heat until the next day.
- There will be condensation dripping from the dome. This is quite normal. On day three, four or five, it will stop dripping.
- The next day, start a small fire again and start at 150 degrees. After some time, put in a little more wood so that you reach around 200 degrees and hold for a few hours.
- Then increase another 50 degrees to 250 degrees and again hold the temperature. There will again be small drops of condensation dripping out of the dome.
- Also on the second day, after a few hours, when there are only embers in the oven, close the door. The heat dries the oven.
- On the third day, fire again to 200-250 degrees for a few hours. After some time, push in more wood again and heat up to 300 degrees.
- After the stove stops dripping it is ready for temperatures above 300 degrees. You will notice that as soon as the residual moisture has escaped, the baby's heat will increase again.
- So when water stops dripping, you're ready to go with Neapolitan Pizza.
