Remove and safely discard any packing materials and promotional labels before using the oven for the first time.
To avoid choking hazards for young children, remove and safely dispose of the protective cover fitted on the power plug.
Do not use the appliance near the edge of a countertop or table. Ensure the surface is stable, level, heat-resistant, and clean.
Do not use on a cloth-covered surface, near curtains, or other flammable materials.
A fire may occur if the oven is covered or touches flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
Do not use the appliance on (or close to) a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven or surface.
Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, touch hot surfaces, or become knotted.
To avoid electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or motor base in water (or other liquids).
The outer housing of the oven may be hot during and after cooking. Please do not touch hot surfaces. Always keep the power cord of this oven, and those of other appliances near the oven, clear from the oven housing.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord or use an adapter.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
The installation of a residual current device (safety switch) is recommended to provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. It is advisable that a safety switch with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA be installed in the electrical circuit supplying the appliance. See your electrician for professional advice.

WARNING
To prevent electric shock, unplug before cleaning

BEFORE FIRST USE
Functions
In order to remove any protective substances on the heating elements, it is necessary to run the oven empty for 20 minutes. Ensure the area is well ventilated as the oven may emit vapors. These vapors are safe and are not detrimental to the performance of the oven.

Remove and safely discard any packing material, promotional labels and tape from the oven.
Remove the pizza stone from its packaging and place the pizza stone in the oven cavity.
Wipe the interior of the oven with a soft, damp sponge.
Place the oven on a clean, flat, stable surface. Clear the space before moving your oven into position. Remove any flammable objects and materials, including table cloths. Think about ventilation when choosing a suitable place for your oven. Very high cooking temperatures can sometimes cause food to burn, which can produce smoke. Ensure there is a minimum distance of 4″ (10cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 6″ (15cm) above.
Unwind the power cord completely and insert the power plug into a grounded power outlet.
Turn the dial to Max to start the oven.
Let the oven run for 20 minutes.
The oven is now ready to use.

NOTE
When you intend to transport the product; remove the pizza stone from inside the oven and pack separately to avoid breakage.
NOTE
Make sure the oven is preheated before placing the pizza in the cavity.
NOTE

For high-temperature cooking functions,
we recommend you monitor and stay close to the oven as your food can quickly become overdone and eventually ignite.
See Troubleshooting for more information.
WARNING
After cooking, allow the oven to cool completely before unplugging from the wall. Fans will continue to run to cool the sensitive electronics. These fans will automatically turn off when the temperatures are at an acceptable level.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Your pizza oven requires a full 20-amp electric power outlet to operate properly.
Running it on a lower current outlet/circuit breaker may cause the grill and/or circuit
to trip. To prevent power loss:

An exterior outlet with a standard 20-amp circuit breaker is recommended.
Unplug any other electrical devices, like patio lights, powered by the exterior outlet/circuit breaker before plugging in your grill. If power is lost during use:
Identify and unplug any other electrical devices that lost power at the same time and reset the breaker.
Try using a different electrical outlet, if available. Check your owner’s manual for recommended use of extension cords. If your circuit breaker continues to trip during use, consult a qualified electrician.

CLEANING AND CARE

The appliance should not require any interior cleaning. Any food residue should burn off when in use. You can use the brush to sweep away excess debris on the stone.
Over time the interior of the device may discolor slightly. This is completely normal.
Don’t use oven cleaners or metal scourers to clean your pizza oven becausethey will damage the machine, Wipe the outer body with a soft, damp sponge. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used to avoid build-up of stains. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning.
To clean the outside of your pizza oven, wait until it’s cool, unplug it and use a lightly damp cloth to wipe the oven body. Dry with a clean towel right away.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly prior to inserting the power plug into a power outlet and turning the oven on.

Storing

You can use the pizza oven outside. Store indoors in dry conditions when not in use.
Only store the pizza stone inside the oven — don’t store food or other items in the oven cavity.
Do not lean on or put items on top of your device. Doing so could damage your oven.

Pizza Stone

DO NOT use the pizza stone over an open flame.
Avoid extreme temperature change to the stone. DO NOT place frozen foods onto the stone if using temperatures in excess of 350°F.
The stone is fragile and can break if bumped or dropped.
The stone is very hot during use and stays hot for a long time after use.
DO NOT cool the stone with water or use it when damp.
To clean off burned food marks, wait until the stone is cool, use two hands to carefully take it out of the oven, remove any loose or large debris, then flip it over and slide it gently back in. The debris on the underside of the stone will burn away the next time you use your appliance.
If your stone breaks: Turn your oven off, let it cool and unplug it before you remove the broken baking stone.
