BAKING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Only pizza and breads can be placed directly on the pizza deck. All other food items must be put onto a tray or into a container rated for high- temperature use.
NOTE: The pizza oven can be used to cook fresh products. Always ensure that the food products or pizza crust is fully defrosted before baking. Cooking time will vary depending on the consistency and weight of the product.

THIS OVEN IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THAWING OR COOKING FROZEN FOOD.

1. Set the Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature to preheat oven. Watch the Temperature Gauge; when it reaches the temperature selected (red heating indicator light goes out), the oven is ready to use.
   • The temperature range for baking fresh pizza is usually between 500˚F (260˚C) and 575˚F (300˚C), depending on the individual product. We recommend to cook pizzas at 525°F for 4-6 minutes each for proper leopard on the crusts, but individual results may vary depending on a variety of factors including, but not limited to: pizza diameter, thickness, environment, etc.
   • If you choose to cook frozen foods in this oven, do not place frozen foods directly on the stone. Always place on a pizza pan or sheet pan to avoid damage to the ceramic stone. Cracking or damage to the pizza stone caused by use of frozen product is not covered under warranty.
2. Bake pizza until the cheese bubbles and the bottom is evenly browned, rotating of pizza during the cooking cycle is highly recommended.
3. Open and close door quickly when putting pizza in oven to prevent heat from escaping, which can slow down cooking time.
4. A light bulb is equipped for better vision of cooking status(turn on only when necessary).

TIPS AND HINTS

• Make sure the ceramic deck is dry. Wet spots or spills can cause food to stick.
• Never season the ceramic deck with any kind of oil.
• Scrape off the burnt residue from ceramic deck daily. Buildup can cause an “off” flavor and increase bake time.
• This appliance is equipped with upper and lower temperature control which allows the users to cook variety toppings with different temperature without affecting the crisp or burning the crust (with suitable temperature setting and baking time).
• Frozen items cannot be placed directly on hot deck to thaw. Place food onto a screen or into a pan.
• Increase temperature during heavy production times to maintain ideal baking temperature. Be sure to decrease it when rush slows to prevent burning.
• Pizza with heavy toppings requires a lower temperature and longer baking time.
• If toppings need more time to cook, a piece of screen placed under pizza can prevent bottom from overcooking.
• To extend the life of the pizza oven, please turn on light to check the food cooking status only occasionally and turn light switch to “OFF” position after that. High temperature inside the chamber is not friendly to the light bulb working all the time.
• Timer is not connected to the circuit, Timer will not shut down the unit which provide a steady temperature environment for perfect baking.

CARE AND CLEANING

NOTE: Daily cleaning is suggested to keep oven performing its best.
CAUTION: ALLOW OVEN TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING.
CAUTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE OVEN FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY SHARP OR HARD KITCHEN UTENSILS AS
THIS COULD DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF THE OVEN.

1. When opening oven door, be sure to guide the door while lowering it. Doing so will prevent possible damage to the door jamb after an extended period.

2. Remove ceramic deck from cool oven.

3. With a deck brush, scrape off hardened spillage.

   • To clean heavily soiled decks, return deck to oven and run at highest temperature in a well-ventilated area for 30 minutes. Allow the oven to cool down completely, remove deck and brush off residue.
     NOTE: Never use high-abrasion brushing or water to clean deck, or immerse or let any water or any other liquids come into contact with the ceramic deck. Any of these can cause deck to crack.
