OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
First Time Use
- Before first use, turn the temperature dial to 400°C and let your oven run for 10 minutes with the lid closed. This will burn off any lubricants from the oven’s heating elements and will also help to pre-season the pizza stone. This will not affect the performance of your oven, nor will it be necessary to repeat this process in the future.
- Never use cooking oil or water directly on the stone when cooking, seasoning or cleaning.
- When cooking, place the uncooked pizza directly on the stone surface. Do not worry about small scratches or that the pizza stone surface has turned a darker colour. This is a sign that the stone has been well seasoned.
- Never use knives or pizza cutters on the stone as this could damage the fine-grained cooking surface. Always remove the pizza from the stone before cutting.
Cooking on the Ceramic Stone
- The pizza oven is designed to make delicious pizza from fresh dough and frozen pizza bases. When using a frozen pizza base, allow the base to thaw before placing in the oven. This will result in a crispy pizza. When cooking fresh dough, lightly flour the stone and paddles before placing the dough directly onto the stone.
- Do not use sticky dough on the stone or pizza paddles. If the dough is sticky, add more flour to the dough to prevent sticking to the stone.
- Ensure the control knob is set to 0°C and that the pizza oven is empty, aside from the ceramic stone.
- Plug the cord into a power outlet.
- Preheat the pizza oven for 10 minutes at the 400°C setting. The heat indicator light will remain on until the appliance has reached operating temperature. Preheating the oven will achieve better baking results.
- Prepare the pizza base with your favourite toppings and transfer the pizza to the ceramic stone in the preheated oven. Use the paddles, if necessary, to assist placement of the pizza. Do not overfill the pizza with toppings, and avoid contact with the top heating element to avoid burning.
- Close the lid and allow the pizza to cook for 4-5 minutes at 400°C. Some pizzas may cook quicker than others. It is recommended that you open the lid after 3 minutes to check the pizza. If the pizza is not ready, simply close the lid and continue cooking.
- If cooking multiple pizzas, leave the lid open and allow the oven to cool for a few minutes before adding the next pizza.
- If the pizza is cooking too quickly, simply turn the heat setting down.
