  • NOTE: Never use cooking oil or water directly on the pizza stone when cooking, seasoning or cleaning.
  • When cooking with the stone, place the uncooked food directly on the stone surface. Do not worry about small scratches or that your stone surface has turned a darker colour. This is a sign that your stone has been well seasoned.
  • After pre-heating is complete, the pizza maker is ready for use. Your pizza can now be placed carefully on the hot pizza stone. It is recommended to use spatulas to lower the pizza onto the hot stone.
  • NOTE: It is NOT recommended to use baking paper with the pizza maker, however, if baking paper is used to help puta pizza on the hot stone, do NOT expose any of the baking paper as this will cause a fire hazard.
  • The baking paper must be hidden under the pizza base.
  • Never add too much topping to your pizza. The topping should always be below the height of the heating element to avoid burning. Homemade dough that contains yeast will rise, so these types of bases should be rolled thin.

A pizza cooked on the MAX temperature setting can take 3-7 minutes to cook.
9. When the pizza is finished, use a pizza spatula or other tool to lift it out carefully.

TIPS FOR YOUR PIZZA MAKER

WARNING: When the pizza maker is pre-heating or cooking, built-up steam is released. This is completely normal and gloves are recommended when opening the pizza maker to ensure safety.
WARNING: The pizza stone will be extremely hot. Do not touch it at any time until it has had a chance to cool down.

• If your pizza is cooking too quickly, simply turn the cooking temperature anti-clockwise to a lower setting to reduce the cooking temperature. To raise the cooking temperature turn the cooking temperature clockwise to a higher setting.
• When cooking a frozen pizza base, allow the dough to thaw before use. Once thoroughly thawed, carefully put your pizza directly onto the heated stone.
• Do not use sticky dough on the stone. If your dough is sticky, it is recommended to use a pizza tray to par-cook the pizza then slide it directly onto the stone, or add cornmeal or flour to the stone and place the dough directly on top.
• If cooking multiple pizzas, make sure the unit is pre-heated as instructed on page 6 and the pizza is cooked as instructed on page 7.
• Remnants of dough left on the pizza stone is quite normal after first use and will help to season the stone.
• Abrasive materials should not be used to try to remove baked items, as it will scratch the stone. Once the stone is cooled enough to touch, gently wipe with a paper towel to remove any large items and follow up with wiping over with a damp cloth.
• It is NOT recommended to use homemade thick pizza dough, as the dough rises, both the dough and topping risk getting charred or burnt by the element.
• However, if a pre-made thick crust store-bought base is used, it should be fine, as the dough has already pre-risen.

TIPS FOR YOUR PIZZA MAKER

• To avoid food contact with the heating element and reflection plate, the thickness of the pizza should be less than 28mm and the base should not exceed 300mm.
• Never use knives or pizza cutters on the pizza stone, as this could damage the surface.
• The pizza maker can be used for a variety of pizza bases, see some examples below. It can also be used to cook or warm up calzones and toasted sandwiches.

HOMEMADE DOUGH

• Needs to be rolled quite thin but can rise about 11-12 mm once cooked.
• As the dough bubbles up in some areas it may start to char, which can make the pizza look more authentic.
• After preheating the unit, this type of dough can be cooked on the MAX temperature setting for 5 minutes. Check the results through the window after 3 minutes.

FROZEN PIZZA

• To cook a frozen pizza, pre-heat the pizza maker as described on page 6 and then reduce the cooking temperature in between MIN and MAX and cook for 12-13 minutes, checking every 5 minutes on the progress.
• For a faster option, it is recommended you allow the pizza to thaw before use. Once thoroughly thawed, carefully put your pizza directly onto the preheated stone and cook for 5-7 minutes on MAX, checking after 3 minutes.

GLUTEN FREE BASE

• This dough may not rise, so the topping can be increased a little.
• After preheating the unit, this type of dough can be cooked on the MAX temperature setting for 5-7 minutes. Check the results through the window after 3 minutes.

KETO BASE

• A homemade Keto pizza base is very thin, so should only be cooked for 2-3 minutes on MAX or longer at a lower temperature.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CARE & CLEANING

• Do not put hot pizza stones in direct contact with ice water to avoid the risk of cracking.
• Wipe the housing, reflective plate and heating element with a clean, damp cloth and dry them before the next use.
