Unpacking

Carefully unpack the oven and inspect immediately for shipping damages. Your countertop oven was shipped in a carton designed to give maximum protection in normal handling. It was thoroughly inspected before leaving the factory and the carrier accepted and signed for it. File any claims for shipping damage or irregularities with the carrier.

Installation

WARNING: This appliance is equipped with threeprong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
WARNING: Do not store combustible materials on top or under any oven.
WARNING: Due to the heat a countertop oven may produce, it must be placed on a non-combustible surface.
Minimum clearance from combustible construction: 3” from rear wall
3” from sides

Legs

4” legs are provided.

To install legs follow these steps:

Place the unit on a counter or a flat surface.
Tilt unit carefully onto its back.
Screw legs into the bottom of the unit in holes provided.
Carefully tilt oven up onto the legs and adjust the bottom of the legs to level the unit.

Initial start up

CAUTION: Overexposure to smoke or fumes may cause nausea and dizziness.

After the electrical connections have been made, your oven will need approximately 2 to 3 hours to burn off. The following steps must be completed before your new oven is ready to use.

Place the oven in a well-ventilated area.
Open the door and remove any instructions or samples shipped with the unit.

Make sure the oven cavity is empty and the bakingdecks are properly installed.

With the oven door open, turn the temperature knob to 400°F for 1 hour.
Close the oven door. Increase the temperature to 500°F for at least 1½ hour.

This procedure will dry out the insulation and deck material and will help to ensure best baking results. PIZZA BAKING: Only pizza and bread products can be baked with direct contact with oven decks. All other products must be placed in pans. Your Cecilware countertop pizza oven has been designed to bake prebaked crusts with ease. The temperature range for pizza baking is usually higher than for general baking. Pizza should cook at approximately 500°F to 575°F depending on the individual product. Allow the pizza to bake until the cheese bubbles and bottom is brown.

Operation

Do not keep the oven door open too long when loading since heat will escape, resulting in slower baking.

When production requirements are low, keep thetemperature low to prevent the bottoms from burning. As demand increases, temperature should be raised for quicker recovery time. Fresh dough generally requires a slightly lower baking temperature and longer bake time than defrosted pre-baked crusts.

General baking tips:

Pizza crust should be fully defrosted before baking.
Wet areas on the bottom of a pizza will cause them to stick to the deck. Avoid spills.
For fresh dough pizza (220V ovens only), flour or corn meal on the peel will prevent sticking and ease placement of the pizza on the deck.
Increasing bake temperatures during heavy production helps in maintaining temperature; after the rush is over reduce temperature to prevent burning.
Heavily topped pizza requires longer bake time at lower temperature.
Rotation of the pizza during the cooking cycle is highly recommended.
Placing a screen under a pizza will allow the top to cook without overcooking the bottom.
Frequently scrape and brush off decks to remove burnt residue, which can cause an off flavor to the product.

Residue build-up can slow bake times.

Clean heavily soiled pizza decks by scraping down, brushing off, removing from oven, turning over and putting back. This procedure will burn off the decks and should be repeated every 6 months. Do not use water to clean the decks as this could cause the decks to crack.
Using shiny pans or screens will produce products with light bottom color. All pans and screens should be seasoned before use.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CLEANING

To keep your Cecilware oven in top shape, periodic cleaning is suggested. ALWAYS CLEAN THE OVEN ONLY WHEN IT IS COLD. WHEN CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL ALWAYS WIPE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN. From time to time the spillage should be scraped out. For hard to clean spillage, the following is suggested:

Turn the thermostat up to the highest setting and let the oven run for ½ hour.
Allow the oven to cool down.
Brush the residue from deck.

NOTICE: Do not use water to clean decks. Cracking may result.

Troubleshooting

Your Cecilware oven is designed to be as trouble free as possible. Keeping your oven clean is all that is normally required. However if your oven stops operating completely, check to see if power supply cord is plugged in and fuse/circuit breaker has not tripped. For all other problems call Grindmaster- Cecilware Technical Service Department, 502-425-4776 or 800-695-4500 (USA & Canada only) (Monday through Friday 8 AM – 6 PM EST). Please have the model and serial number ready so that accurate information can be given.
