GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, the Waring® Commercial Pizza Ovens are supplied with a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet. Use of any other voltage or altering of the plug or cord may damage the unit, will void the warranty and may cause injury.

Caution: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada and Europe.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords that are intended for indoor use. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
NOTE: This appliance is for 240 volts only and should not be used with a converter.

INTRODUCTION

The Waring® Commercial Pizza Ovens duplicate the ideal baking environment of traditional Italian brick pizza ovens. Ceramic pizza deck measures 18″ x 18″ and can accommodate large pies while maintaining consistent temperatures to ensure that pizza cooks from the bottom as well as the top. A major benefit of a pizza stone over a pizza pan is the way that the ceramic stone drives moisture away from the crust, resulting in extra crispness.
Adjustable temperature controls from 350°F to over 800°F allow you to cook a wider variety of items, and bake pizza fast whether using fresh, frozen or par-baked dough. Pizza oven controls are designed for simplicity, with quick- touch switches and indicator lights for Power, Interior Oven Light, and Top and Bottom Elements. Superior heat technology ensures quick heat-up and recovery, for consistent oven temperatures that guarantee great results.

WPO700
This unit offers independent On/Off switches for top and bottom heating elements while the center element remains constantly on. One set of controls is used for both chambers and only a single temperature setting may be used.

WPO750
This unit provides two independent chambers with their own deck controls that can operate at different temperatures simultaneously, independent On/Off controls for top and bottom elements and separate 30-minute timers.

OVEN INSTALLATION

• After removing the outer shipping carton and packaging material, place the oven on the floor or other flat surface.
• Open oven and remove any instructions or packaging material shipped in the unit.
• With sufficient help, lift up the front of the oven and attach the two front legs (packed separately in styrofoam), carefully twisting each one into a corner and hand tighten. Lift the back of the oven approximately 5 inches and block into position using a piece of wood or other solid object. Then, attach the two back legs and hand tighten.
• Move the oven to its final location. Adjust the bottom portion of the legs to level the unit. (fig. 1)

PIZZA CERAMIC DECK INSTALLATION & CONDITIONING
Read these instructions carefully before installing or conditioning the ceramic deck. New deck must be conditioned (pre-dried) prior to first use. 

• Handling the Ceramic Deck: If deck is struck against hard surface before, during or after installation, it can develop a full
  or hairline crack which may expand over time and require you to replace it.

• Installing the Deck: Open the oven door and place ceramic pizza deck into the bottom with the slots on front of deck facing front of oven. Be sure the deck is firmly set in place. Do not force or wedge it. (fig. 2)

• Conditioning the Deck: Pre-dry ceramic deck by carefully following instructions in the following section, BEFORE USING YOUR PIZZA OVEN. NOTE: Failure to follow conditioning instructions will cause deck to crack or warp and will void warranty.

BEFORE USING YOUR PIZZA OVEN

• With ceramic deck inserted, place oven in a well-ventilated area to burn off any residual dust from manufacturing.

• Plug unit in, open door and set Temperature Control to 400˚F (205˚C). After one hour, close door and increase temperature to 500˚F (260˚C) for at least 1½ hours.
  Note: The oven may emit an odor during this process; this is normal and not harmful, and should quickly dissipate.

• Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely. Remove any smoke residue from the interior with a damp cloth.

• Place clean, cool oven in the area where it will be used. Be sure there is at least 6 inches’ clearance between sides and top of oven and any wall or cabinet.

• Check to ensure nothing is blocking the exhaust vent on back of unit.

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.
Set the Temperature Control Knob to the desired temperature to preheat oven. Watch the Temperature Gauge; when it reaches the temperature selected, the oven is ready to use.
The Pizza Oven can be used to bake both fresh and frozen products. Frozen items should go right from the freezer into the pre-heated oven. Cooking time will vary depending on the consistency and weight of the product.

The temperature range for baking fresh pizza is usually between 500˚F (260˚C) and 575˚F (300˚C), depending on the individual product. Generally, frozen items are cooked at a lower temperature, but always follow recommended cooking instructions.
Bake pizza until the cheese bubbles and the bottom is evenly browned, rotating it during the baking process if necessary.
Open and close door quickly when putting pizza in oven to prevent heat from escaping, which can slow down cooking time.

TIPS AND HINTS

• Be sure ceramic pizza deck is dry. Wet spots or spills will cause food to stick.
• Never season the ceramic pizza deck with any type of cooking oil.
• Increase temperature during heavy production times to maintain ideal baking temperature. Be sure to decrease it when rush slows to prevent burning.
• If toppings need more time to cook, a piece of screen placed under pizza can prevent bottom from overcooking.
• Pizza with heavy toppings requires a lower temperature and longer baking time.
• Scrape off burnt residue from pizza deck daily with deck brush provided. Buildup can cause an “off” flavor and increase bake time.
• Frozen items cannot be placed directly on hot deck to thaw. Place food onto a screen or into a pan.
• When using two different temperature settings (available on WPO750 only) on the top and bottom chambers, set the top chamber to the higher temperature. This will ensure there is no fluctuation in temperature in the lower chamber.

USE AND CARE

Daily cleaning is suggested to keep oven performing at its best. ALLOW OVEN TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING.

1. Always unplug the oven from the power source.
2. Do not use any sharp or hard kitchen utensils on the oven as this could damage the surface of the appliance.
3. To clean ceramic pizza deck, remove deck from cool oven. With the provided 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 ½ hour. When oven and deck are cool, 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.
4. Wipe interior of oven with damp cloth, avoiding heating elements.
5. When cleaning stainless steel exterior, use stainless steel cleaner and wipe in the direction of the grain.
6. To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or damp cloth and dry with clean cloth.
7. 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 of time.
