Marking where the Pizza Oven will Sit

• Once you have a base to build your oven on trace out where your oven will sit on the base.
• Unfold the paper template from your kit.
• You will need to be careful to ensure your oven is properly centred and square

• The template represents the inside of your oven, i.e. the floor of your oven.
• Find the centre of your oven and align with the centre of the template.
• Ensure that you have the template facing the right way, with the door part at the front. Ensure the front is square with the base.
• Trace around the template with a pencil or permanent marker. This will guide you on where to put the bricks.
