HOW TO USE
First Time Use
When using your Pizza Maker for the first time, please read the instructions
contained in this manual. Before cooking, let your oven run for 10 minutes
with the lid closed on setting 4 to warm up the pizza stone to 608°F (320°C).
This will burn off any lubricants from the oven’s heating elements and will
also help to pre-season your pizza stone. This will not affect the performance
of your oven, nor will it be necessary to repeat this process any time in the
future. Never use cooking oil or water directly on the cooking ceramic when
cooking, seasoning or cleaning. When cooking with the ceramic, place the
uncooked foods (pizza) directly on the ceramic surface. Do not worry about
small scratches or that your ceramic surface has turned a darker color. This
is a sign that your stone has been well seasoned. Never use a knife or pizza
cutter on the stone as this could damage the fine-grained cooking surface. The
Pizza Maker is designed to make delicious pizza from fresh dough to frozen
pizza bases. When using a frozen pizza, allow the pizza base to thaw before
placing in the oven. This will result in a crispy cooked pizza.
When cooking fresh dough, lightly flour the stone before placing the dough directly onto the stone. If you have sticky dough, add more flour to your dough as it will stick to the stone. Make any of the delicious recipes included in this booklet or you can make your own exciting new recipes. Extreme caution is needed when opening the Pizza Maker as built up steam may be quickly released. Gloves are recommended when opening the pizza oven to ensure safety. This appliance can be used by children ages from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.
HOW TO COOK ON CERAMIC STONE SURFACE
- First, ensure the control knob is set to off and have a quick check inside your Ceramic Pizza Maker to see that nothing is inside your oven other than the cooking ceramic stone.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded 230V plug base. To turn your Ceramic Pizza Maker appliance on, simply turn the cooking temperature control knob to the max heat setting 4. You will notice the heat indicator light go on, this indicates that your Ceramic Pizza Maker is pre-heating. By pre-heating your oven before using, you will achieve better baking results.
- Set the timer for 10 minutes for pre-heating, after that your pizza maker is ready for use.
- Place your cooked or un-cooked pizza dough directly onto the pizza paddles and add your favorite toppings. Never over-fill or mount your topping too highon your pizza. The topping should always be below the height of the top-heating coil to avoid burning.
- Once you have made sure your Ceramic Pizza Maker is pre-heated, slide your pizza off the pizza paddles and directly onto the heated stone. Warning, the pizza stone and the handles will be extremely hot. Do not touch it at any timeuntil it has had a chance to cool down.
- Close the lid of your Pizza Maker and keep the knob on setting 5 and allow your pizza to bake for 4-5minutes, or until the desired taste. Remember, every pizza may have a different crust thickness or topping, some pizzas maycook quicker than others. It is recommended that you open the lid of your Pizza Maker after 3 minutes to check the progress, if your pizza is not ready, simply close the lid and continue to cook until your desired taste.
- If your pizza is cooking too quickly, simply turn the cooking temperature counterclockwise 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 with a frozen pizza base, allow the dough to thaw before use. Once thoroughly thawed, slide your pizza directly onto the heated ceramic stone.
- Do not use sticky dough on the stone or pizza paddles. If your dough is sticky,we recommend you use a pizza tray to par-cook the pizza then slide directly off onto the ceramic stone, or flour the ceramic stone and place dough directly on top.
- If you want to cook more pizza, repeat above process.

stone to rest before adding the pizza. When cooking additional pizzas one after the other it
is best to leave the lid open
for a few minutes in between cooking pizzas with the setting back to 4.
Dirty Stone Base.

Moisture on bottom of base.
| Don’t worry if stone marks. The greater the marks, the better the flavor it gives the pizza. Just scrape off any excess material with the metal paddles.
