Preheating your Old Hickory VPO-54 54-Inch Visual Pizza Oven is straightforward. First, ensure the oven is properly connected to gas and power, according to the installation guide. Locate the front panel, noting the Emergency Stop button, Display Touch Screen, and Power Button. On the Display Touch Screen's Home screen, tap the "Pre-Heat" button. This action activates the upper burners at high intensity to begin heating. You can customize the burner intensity via the touchscreen settings. Allow the oven to reach your desired preheat temperature; the upper burners will automatically shut off once achieved. Remember to operate the ventilation system whenever lighting or preheating the oven. Always prioritize safety: avoid storing flammable materials near the oven and disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Refer to your instruction manual for complete safety guidelines.
