What Day 1 of 5 (curing screen)
actually means.

A new Marra Forni brick oven still holds moisture in its bricks and mortar, and the control has a curing program that raises the temperature on its own over five days. While it runs, the screen shows which day it is on, the temperature required and the oven temperature. The oven is working as intended even when it is not at cooking heat.

What to do when Day 1 of 5 (curing screen) shows on the pizza oven

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Marra Forni's own guidance for Day 1 of 5 (curing screen) on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Let the five days run to the end; stopping early leaves moisture in the dome and floor.

02

Expect small cracks, some water dripping from the oven and an unpleasant smell during these days, and keep the area aired and the floor wiped so nobody slips.

03

Do not oil the motor parts of a Rotator during curing; Marra Forni says they are greased automatically.

04

Book a visit if pieces come loose, cracks keep widening after the cure, or the day count stops moving.

Cleared?

The code has left the display, the decks or the tunnel come up to the set heat and hold it through a full service, the belt keeps its speed and the blowers run steady, all with no part changed. If the same code returns within a week, or on the next busy night, say so when you book.

What not to do

The Day of 5 screen is not a stuck oven or a failed burner, and the temperatures during curing are set by the program on purpose. It is also separate from the Open message, which means the thermocouple cannot be read.

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

No part of the oven has failed; the display is reporting a state someone chose or the oven entered on its own. A cool-down keeps the blowers turning after the heat is off until the cavity or the tunnel has dropped to a safe level, an energy save setting lets the decks sag between rushes, and a menu lock stops anyone on the line from changing the bake times. No part is needed: letting the cool-down run out, or the key sequence in the manual, brings the oven back.

Questions
about Day 1 of 5 (curing screen).

Can I clear Day 1 of 5 (curing screen) myself?
Let the five days run to the end; stopping early leaves moisture in the dome and floor.
Why won't my new Marra Forni oven get hot enough for pizza?
If the screen shows Day and a number out of 5, the oven is curing and the control chooses the temperature for each day itself while the moisture leaves the bricks. It will not follow a cooking set point until the cure is finished.
Is water dripping from my Marra Forni oven during curing normal?
Yes. Marra Forni says water and an unpleasant odor can appear during curing and stop when it is finished. Keep the area ventilated and the floor dry.
Should I cure my Marra Forni oven again after it sat unused?
The manual's five-day program is for the first cure of an oven that was not delivered pre-cured. If an oven has been exposed to water or left cold for a long time, ask about a slow warm-up when you book rather than going straight to full heat.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Day 1 of 5 (curing screen)?

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied as shown, the model and serial from the rating plate, and a note on whether the oven still lights, heats or moves its belt. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your oven the same day.
