FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Why is my Grill Top Pizza Oven not getting hot enough? If your Grill Top Pizza Oven does not reach the proper baking temperature, your grill may utilize extra heat tents or Flavorizer® bars. These components sit between the cooking grate and the burners and deflect the heat from the burners downward. Once your grill has completely cooled, remove these pieces and try again. If you have an infrared grill, you will need to remove the heat emitters that sits between the cooking grate and burners as these will block the heat from reaching the Grill Top Pizza Oven.
- Can I close the lid of my grill while using the Grill Top Pizza Oven? We advise you to keep the lid of your grill in the fully opened position while using the Grill Top Pizza Oven in order to protect you and your grill. If you fully or partially close your grill lid while using the Grill Top Pizza Oven, it may cause components of your grill to over heat which may result in damage to your grill and/or bodily injury should you touch the overheated components.
- How do I clean the Grill Top Pizza Oven? To clean the stone, let the burners remain on high for approximately 15 minutes. There main-ing residue should burn off or can be scraped off and pushed to the back of the oven by using a long handled cleaning brush. Do not use any cleaning agents or other liquids to clean the stone. Once the oven has cooled completely, a damp cloth can be used to wipe off any char left in the oven. The stone will remain blackened and/or darkened which is natural.If this does not clean the stone to your satisfaction, you can also remove the Support Brackets and flip the Base Stone over (horizontally) and replace the Support Brackets. This will give you a clean Base Stone to use and the next time you use the Grill Top Pizza Oven,any remaining residue will burn off.
