My Ooni Koda 12 has an uneven flame.

Before following the steps below, please read the following safety advice:

• Always stand clear of your oven when igniting - ensure nobody is within 1 meter (3ft) of the front of the oven.
• Always allow 5-minute intervals between lighting attempts. This is to allow time for any gas to disperse.
• Read through the safety manual for your region:
  • United States and Canada
  • UK and Europe
  • Australia and New Zealand

If the flame in your Ooni Koda 12 is slightly uneven (similar to the video below), there are a few things you can do to fix it.

1. Remove blockages from the burner surface

Ensure the oven has cooled down. Wearing protective gloves, take a can of compressed air and give the burner a good blast from inside the oven. Once you've given it a good blast, run the oven for 30 minutes.

We recommend doing this every so often as part of a normal cleaning/service.

2. Remove blockages from inside the burner

Ensure the oven has cooled down. Remove the gas hose from the oven. Push in the gas control dial and blast compressed air through the stem where the hose attaches to the oven. Reconnect the gas hose and run the oven for 30 minutes.

3. Change the gas bottle

A new gas bottle can make all the difference, especially if the one you're using is less than half full.

4. Swap out the gas regulator

If you have a spare regulator on hand, try swapping it over.
