My Ooni Pro 16 Gas Burner has an uneven flame.Updated 7 months ago

**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:

**If you have an uneven flame in your ****oven, follow the steps below:**


1. **Remove blockages from the burner surface**

* Ensure the oven and gas burner have cooled down

* Remove the gas burner and take a can of compressed air and give the burner a good blast around the area the flames come out.

* Once you've given it a good blast, insert the gas burner back into the oven, and run the gas burner 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 and gas burner have cooled down

* Remove the gas hose from the burner

* Push in the gas control dial and blast compressed air through the stem where the hose attaches to the burner.

* 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
