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 5 to warm up the pizza stone to 320C. 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 stone when cooking, seasoning or cleaning. When cooking with the stone, place the uncooked foods (pizza) 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. 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 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 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. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.

COOKING ON THE STONE

1. First, ensure the control knob is set to off and have a quick check inside your Pizza Maker to see that nothing is inside your oven other than the cooking stone.
2. Plug the power cord into 220-240V plug base. To turn your Pizza Maker appliance on, simply turn the cooking temperature control knob to the max heat setting 5. You will notice the heat indicator light go on, this indicates that your Pizza Maker is pre-heating. By preheating your oven before using, you will achieve better baking results.
3. Setting the timer for 10 minutes for preheating, after that your pizza maker is ready for use.
4. Prepare your pizza and add your favorite toppings. Never overfill or mount your topping too high on your pizza. The topping should always be below the height of the top-heating coil to avoid burning.
5. Making sure your Pizza Maker is preheated, slide your pizza directly onto the heated stone. Warning, the pizza stone and the handles will be extremely hot. Do not touch it at any time until it has had a chance to cool down.
6. Close the lid of your Pizza Maker and keep the knob on setting 5 and allow your pizza to bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the desired taste. Remember, every pizza may have a different crust thickness or topping, some pizzas may cook 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.
7. 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.
8. When cooking with a frozen pizza base, allow the dough to thaw before use. Once thoroughly thawed, slide your pizza directly onto the heated stone.
9. Do not use sticky dough on the stone. If your dough is sticky, we recommend you use a pizza tray to parcook the pizza then slide directly off onto the stone, or flour the stone and place dough directly on top.
10. If you want to cook more pizza, repeat above process.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

• PROBLEM The heat indicator light goes on and off.
• CAUSE This is an automatic thermostat light.
• SOLUTION The light will stay on until the oven has reached the desired temperature setting.
• PROBLEM Top of pizza burns.
• CAUSE Temperature of oven is too high.
• SOLUTION When checking the pizza, if you think the top is cooking quicker than the bottom, turn the oven setting back to 4, leaving the pizza to continue cooking without the thermostat light on. Alternatively leave the lid open for a couple of minutes so you can watch the pizza finish cooking.
• PROBLEM Bottom of pizza burns.
• CAUSE Temperature of oven is too high.
• SOLUTION Make sure the oven has been pre-heated on setting 5. When the oven light goes out, allow a couple of minutes for the 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.
• PROBLEM Dirty Stone Base.
• CAUSE Moisture on bottom of base.
• SOLUTION 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 a metal paddle.

STYLES OF PIZZA BASES

FROZEN-TOPPED PIZZA
Its quick and easy to cook your frozen pizza straight from the freezer in the Pizza Maker. Turn your oven onto the 3 setting. Once the light has turned off place you frozen pizza directly onto the stone and close the lid. Leave the frozen pizza in the pizza oven for approximately 4 minutes to defrost. Once the base has defrosted turn the setting up to 5 and cook for approximately 5 minutes.
PIZZA MIX OR BREAD MIX
It is better if you use a quality bread mix. Most of them will have a pizza dough recipe on the pack which will say to use 10% less water.
PITA BREAD
This is a great healthy alternative. They are readily available in every supermarket and will only take 2-3mins to cook in the PIZZA MAKER.
PRE-MADE BASE (FRESH)
They normally take a few minutes longer because they tend to have a thicker base. Use less topping to ensure a quicker cooking time.
PRE-MADE BASE (FROZEN)
For best results make sure the base is defrosted. For a quick defrost method; turn oven setting to 3. Add topping to frozen base. Once the light is off, add topped frozen pizza to stone base and close the lid. After 2-3 minutes turn the setting to 5 and cook pizza.
CALZONE
A different way to eat a pizza. Make sure they are not too thick. You can cook them on the stone or in the deep dish. Ricotta cheese is a great filling as you can make dessert calzone by adding banana, stewed apples etc. and serve it with ice cream.
TOASTED SANDWICHES
These can be cooked on the stone base, simply, add you favorite fillings and place the bread on to the stone. Close the lid and turn the setting up. Check after 3-4mins. When ready, spread butter on the outside of the toasted sandwich.
