Official communication to all customers

Hello everyone

For some time reading in various groups and posts of our customers we have noticed that substantial changes are very frequent that are recommended (not by us of course) and carried out on our original ovens to increase their operating temperatures, following a verification carried out on one of these handcrafted modified ovens , we would like to warn all our customers about the risks that these unauthorized modifications can cause, both in terms of personal safety and in terms of health.

A small preface on basic safety is required, all electric ovens, whether they are for pizza or traditional ovens, must comply with strict European regulations and must be accompanied by certifications and test reports issued by certification bodies recognized by the European Community, the safety certifications therefore CE (electrical safety test on products and contact temperatures), RHOS (list and definition of the materials used for the components and analysis of the same) and FOOD CONTACT (test report and release tests carcinogenic substances in materials in contact with food) must accompany the product and always be updated with the most recent regulations issued by the European community (which are often updated and to which the test reports must by law constantly adapt).

Having said that, we want to inform our customers about the risks that some craft modifications we have detected can hide:

1) EXCLUSION OF THE SAFETY PROBE AND SETTING OF THE THERMOSTAT

These 2 fundamental elements probe (positioned inside the hood or cooking chamber) and safety thermostat (inside the temperature adjustment knob) precisely, monitor the internal temperatures of the oven, checking that none of its components exceed the maximum operating temperature for which they have been tested safe.

RISKS

The unbalance of the thermostat and the exclusion of the detection probe changes the maximum temperature point, in which the oven intervenes by disconnecting the electric current so as not to let it go beyond the operating temperature of the materials that compose it, this could lead to fires ( in the worst case scenario), melting of the safety covers of the electrical cables that compose it (risk of electrical voltage in contact with people), and the exceeding of the temperatures for which the steels of the shell and of the resistances have been studied can cause thermal stresses such as to create ratchets (technical jargon that stands for micro fractures) that decompose the structure of the steels and which, on cooling, release ferrous dust that could end up on the food that is then ingested.

2) USE OF NON ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS

The replacement of components such as the resistances (or heating elements) with non-original components, perhaps of greater power, in fact substantially changes the balance of the oven for which the thermostat, probe and electrical components cannot be adequate and therefore not as safe as the original composition, if then combined in combination with the modifications in point 1 they are extremely dangerous.

RISKS

Non-original components may not be certified neither for food nor for electrical safety, furthermore replacing the original components independently without relying on specialized laboratories can lead to risk, for the person carrying out these modifications, of electric shocks or fire of the product due to incorrect assembly.

Changing the balances, heating elements, probes and safety thermostats, makes the product unstable and highly dangerous due to the above, we invite all our customers to refrain from making any changes to our ovens, as it not only invalidates the warranty, but they can cause serious damage to your health and that of your loved ones, and we strongly recommend those who have already made the changes indicated above (or any other modification even not indicated), not to use them absolutely for the risks indicated.
