Step 1: Trim elements if needed with a wood rasp.
Step 2: Build a concrete slab measuring at least 90 (width) x 85 (depth) x 7 (thickness) cm and
let it dry for at least 15 days. Create a thin bed of lean mortar (2 to 3 cm thick) using standard
cement. Place the 2 base slabs moistened beforehand (labelled ① and ② on top of the mortar
bed, ensuring they are properly aligned and that the top surface is leveled. Remove any excess
mortar from around the base. Allow the floor to dry for 24 to 48 hours before proceeding.
Step 3: Position the arch elements ③ and ④ on the floor ②, starting from the rear of the floor,
without any joint.
Step 4: Position the façade ⑥ against the elements ③ and ④, ensuring that it covers the
remaining 5 cm at the front of the floor.
Step 5: Apply refractory mortar to the elements ③ and ④on the smoke drain area ⑤ and
promptly install it.
Step 6: Build the chimney:
• Using flue tiles measuring 20x20 cm (for the 3rd tile and upwards, additional support is
required)
• Alternatively, by installing a connection pipe (available as an optional accessory) and
connecting a stainless steel flue with an inside diameter of Ø200 mm.
Step 7: Build a wall surrounding the oven using 7 cm bricks or breeze blocks, ensuring a 3 cm gap
is maintained between the wall and the oven.
Step 8: Wrap the oven with flexible rolls of rock wool/ceramic wool (10 cm thickness) or opt for
Ephrem fibre insulation (available as an additional option). Afterward, cover the insulation layer
with:
• Either a generous 15 cm layer of vermiculite concrete,
• Or use 0/4 dry sand to reach a height of 15 cm above the oven arches.
Step 9: Build a protective shelter for the oven to shield it from the elements, ensuring there is
approximately a 20 cm gap between the shelter and the top of the oven insulation, creating a
decompression chamber with vents.

FOR THE PIZZAS
Preheat the oven for approximately 1 hour using 4 to 7 logs. Once the embers
have formed, distribute them in an even arch along the sides and bottom of
the oven to ensure uniform heat distribution across the hearth. It is
recommended to use dry, hard woods like oak or beech, while avoiding
softwoods that may cause clogging. Clear any debris from the surface, place
the pizza on the floor, and bake for around 2 minutes.
FOR THE BREAD
Heat the oven until the dome formed by the arches becomes white. Remove
the embers and let the temperature gradually decrease (bread typically
bakes at a range of 230 to 250°C). Once the desired temperature is reached,
carefully place the bread inside the oven and close the door.
FOR COOKINGS REQUIRING A DISH
For roasts, chickens, casseroles, and other similar dishes, preheat the oven as
you would for pizzas. Place the dish inside the oven, covering it with aluminum
foil to protect the center of the dish (for roasts, remember to turn and baste
from time to time). Towards the end of cooking, remove the aluminum foil to
allow browning.
NB: Grilled food and pizzas are cooked with an open door. On the contrary,
bread, pies and slow-cooked dishes (such as pot-au-feu, daube, etc.) are
cooked with a closed door and the embers must be removed.
INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW WHEN USING THE OVEN
• During assembly, it is recommended to have two people to carry the components, as they can
weigh up to 60 kg.
• Do not use the oven until the insulation has been installed. During the initial heating of the oven,
ensure that the flame does not reach the arches for a minimum of two days. Start the fire at the
rear of the oven, beginning with a few twigs and gradually adding more. Then, add larger logs to
allow the oven to heat up. Keep the flame from rising into the smoke drain.
• Cracks may occasionally occur, but these are part of the natural expansion process and should
not affect the proper functioning of the oven.
•Only use dry, untreated wood for your fire, avoiding any wood from demolition or industrial
sources, whether painted or unpainted. Do not use any flammable products.
•The oven is specifically designed for cooking food and is certified to standard EN1388/1.
Therefore, EPHREM FUSION cannot be held responsible and will not provide any warranty if the
oven is used for any other purpose. When cooking food in the oven, appropriate oven gloves
should be worn to avoid skin burns.
•Smoke extraction system must be in accordance with NF DTU 24-1 1 P1 (02/2006 + A1 :
12/2011) standards.
•Flammable materials and equipment should be kept at least 25 cm away from the sides of the
oven or shielded from the heat radiation emitted by the oven.
