Please read this entire manual before you install and use the oven.
Incorrect installation and usage may result in property damage, physical injury or even death.
Please keep this manual near the oven at all times for future reference. Do not throw it away!
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of re, the oven should always be mounted on non-combustible
material and a heat-resistant nish.
The oven should not be placed closer to a combustible object smaller than
the one described on page 8.
WARNING!
Do not store gasoline or other ammable vapors or liquids near the oven.
CAUTION!
It is of the utmost importance that the oven is installed only in accordance with these
instructions.
A major cause of re is failure to maintain the required clearances from combustible
materials.
This oven should be installed and serviced by authorized professionals only.

CHIMNEY ASSEMBLY
1. Insert the upper vent (1) into the opening on the top of the
oven, with the vent handle on your right-hand side when
facing the oven. Make sure that the upper vent slides onto
its seat in the oven.
2. Slide the rebreak (2) onto the upper vent (1) with the wider
side facing downward until it comes to a stop.
3. Put the rebreak hood (3) onto the rebreak (2) with the wider
side facing downward onto the re break so that the
wires coming out of the hood slide into the rebreak

EXTRACTION
KOPA ovens must be vented in accordance with the applicable codes concerning solid fuel
appliances.
After service, charcoal must be completely extinguished or, if this is not possible, the extraction is set
on a timer and runs at least three hours after service and comes on an hour before people enter the
kitchen.
We recommend that the charcoal is extinguished completely after service. If there are residential
properties adjoining your establishment, the extractor must be left to run over night.
We recommend a CO warning device or CO warning device coupled to an extraction switch that
automatically starts extraction as soon as CO buildup is detected.
See page 16 for minimum hood dimensions.
CAUTION!
NEVER use the oven without a re break! Using the oven without a re break can
result in sparks from the oven igniting fats in the hood or chimney and causing a major
re.
FLUE CLEANING
When wood and charcoal are burned slowly, they produce tar. Solid fuel exhaust contains creosote
and other substances that accumulate in ducting, creating a re risk. The rate of accumulation varies
with respect to ue gas temperature, wood type and moisture content. Frequent, regularly scheduled
and thorough ue cleaning is the best way to minimize the risk of ue res.
CLEARANCES
A re may result if the oven is not properly installed. Follow these instructions carefully and ensure
that the required clearances are observed.
FLOOR: the KOPA oven must be installed on a non-combustible oor that extends 1m to the front
and 75 cm to each side of the oven door.
SIDES: 45 cm to combustible material.
BACK: 20 cm to combustible material
CAUTION!
Minimal clearances from combustible materials must be ensured.
Major re, injuries, loss of property and death may occur if the required clearances are
not respected.

DANGERS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
Many dangers are associated with carbon monoxide (CO), some of which are short term, and
some of which can be permanently damaging or even fatal. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur
from a number of sources, inlcuding everyday items and appliances used in the home or at work.
Once carbon monoxide has been breathed in, it replaces oxygen in the blood, thus killing off cells
and starving vital organs of oxygen.
One of the outcomes of carbon monoxide poisoning is death. A large enough dose of this
odorless, colorless and tasteless gas can kill within minutes.In fact, people die every year from
carbon monoxide poisoning without ever knowing what is happening. They simply slip in to
unconsciousness and never come around, or they may already be asleep when they breathe in the
gas and simply never wake up again.
Smaller doses of carbon monoxide poisoning can cause a range of symptoms and problems, And,
depending on how often the gas is breathed in and at what levels, can cause both short-term and
long-term damage. One of the dangers associated with short-term symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning is the non-specic nature of the symptoms, which can often resemble u.This means that
the sufferer can often go on breathing in carbon monoxide, which can then lead to either long-term
or permanent damage, or death.
The long-term dangers associated with carbon monoxide can be devastating and can affect the rest
of your life. Carbon monoxide can result in brain damage, heart problems, major organ dysfunction,
memory or cognitive problems, behavioural and personality changes and a range of other permanent
problems.
The dangers of carbon monoxide can arise both in the home and the work environment, and many
people are affected by these dangers simply through lack of knowledge and vigilance.
There are numerous ways of decreasing the risk of carbon monoxide exposure. The consequences
of inhaling carbon monoxide mostly affect people who are not familiar with signs of poisoning, how
to help and how to treat symptoms and what causes carbon monoxide pollution.
Carbon monoxide is a silent and deadly danger, and takes thousands of lives around the world each
year. The sad thing is that many carbon monoxide related deaths could have been avoided with
some basic precautions and a little vigilance.
However, the fact that this gas is almost undetectable and the fact that the symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning are so non-specic can contribute to the danger of this gas.
It is important to remember that learning more about the dangers of carbon monoxide can go some
way towards helping you to avoid them, or take appropriate action if you are affected by the gas.
This in turn could help to prevent serious and long-term damage, and even help to save lives.

LIGHTING UP THE CAHARCOAL
1. Open the oven door.
2. Remove the grill and all food from the oven
3. Remove all ash that remains from previous use
4. Put two to three re starters (sawdust stick) to make
several lighting points.
5. Usekindlingifnecessaryandmakeasmallpileontop
of the re starters. If no kindling is used, use more
re starters
6. Put 1 kg of charcoal on top of the kindling/re starters
7. Light the re starters
8. Open bottom and top vent completely. (see pictures
on the right)
9. Close the oven door.
Oven startup
WARNING!
Flammable liquids such as alcohol, gasoline or similar must not be used to light the
charcoal.
This can be very dangerous, as fumes from the liquid can explode, sending ames out
the door onto the person starting the oven.
Serious injury or death may result in using ammable liquids as re starters.
USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
When the oven is used for the rst time, follow the above procedure to start the oven.
Load 3kg of charcoal into the oven.
Heat the oven to 350ºC, close the lower vent and leave the upper vent completely open.
Use cleaning solvent to clean grill racks and put them in the oven when you close the bottom vent.
Leave the oven to burn at 350ºC without food for at least 90 minutes.
CAUTION!
The maximum continuous working temperature of the oven is 350ºC.
Never exceed temperature is 400ºC.
Never operate the oven above these temperatures, as this may damage it and may
void the warranty.
Never leave the oven unattended with both vents open. With both vents open and
charcoal ignited in the oven, the temperature keeps rising until the bottom vent is
closed.
Pull to open.
