Pizza Mesh (not shown)
– When
baking fresh pizza, the pizza mesh
helps achieve a round pizza shape.
It also helps prevent the pizza from
getting soggy, producing a crisp and
tasty pizza.
9. Pizza Peel (not shown) – Can be
used to insert and remove the pizza
mesh in the oven. Can also be used
for cutting and serving pizza.
10. Pizza Stone – To achieve best
results when baking bread, pizza
and pie crusts. The stone absorbs
excess moisture and distributes heat
evenly to make the crust light and
crispy. It fits on the rack to slide in
and out of the oven easily.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packaging materials and any
promotional labels or stickers from your
new Cuisinart
™
Flatbread Oven. Be sure
all parts (listed under Parts and Features)
of your new appliance have been included
before discarding any packaging materi-
als. You may want to keep the box and
packing materials for use at a later date.
Before using your Cuisinart
™
Flatbread
Oven for the first time, remove any dust
from shipping by wiping clean with a
damp cloth. Clean the removable wire
rack, pizza peel, and pizza mesh with
warm water, a small amount of
dishwashing liquid and a nonabrasive
sponge or cleaning pad. The pizza stone
can be wiped with a damp cloth, not with
dishwashing liquid.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE BODY OF THE
UNIT IN WATER.
1. Insert the wire rack into the grooves
on both sides of the interior wall.
2. Insert the crumb tray. (Do not operate
the flatbread oven without the crumb
tray in place.)
3. Place the flatbread oven on a clean,
flat surface where you intend to cook.
4. Plug the flatbread oven into a
120 Volt 60 Hz AC electrical outlet.
5. Never thaw frozen pizza before
baking. Your flatbread oven is
designed to bake it at 450°F (230°C).
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
The oven will get very hot during use.
Use handles only and do not cover the
appliance. The top of the flatbread oven
can be used as a plate warmer.
1. Plug the power cord into the wall
outlet.
2. Lightly sprinkle the stone with
cornmeal (flour can burn) prior to
heating. Place the pizza stone in the
oven to preheat.
3. Turn oven on by rotating the timer
knob clockwise; the power indicator
will light up. Preheat pizza stone by
placing stone in oven and turning
timer to 30 minutes.
4. Place pizza on preheated pizza stone
and set timer for recommended
baking time. The baking temperature
is preset. When timer reaches the
OFF/0 position, the power light
indicator and flatbread oven will turn
off and a bell will signal pizza is
ready.
If Using Fresh Pizza Dough:
• Prepare pizza dough on the pizza
mesh by shaping and rolling the
dough, simultaneously preheating the
pizza stone, as mentioned above.
• Finish making the pizza by placing
your favourite toppings on the dough.
• Slide the pizza mesh onto the pizza
stone using the pizza peel.
• Once pizza is done, use the pizza
peel to remove the pizza (including
mesh) from the oven and place on a
cooling rack. Do not remove the pizza
stone. Separate the pizza from the
mesh and place on pizza peel to cut
it. A pizza cutter can be used directly
on the peel to slice your pizza.
If Using Frozen Pizza:
• Once the oven has been preheated,
place the frozen pizza on the pizza
stone. The pizza mesh is not needed
for frozen pizzas.
• Once pizza is done, use the pizza
peel to remove the pizza from the
oven. Do not remove pizza stone.
A pizza cutter can be used directly on the
peel to slice your pizza.
WARNING:
Cooked pizza can be very
hot. Handle with care.
CLEANING AND CARE
Caution: Before cleaning appliance,
make sure it has cooled down. Do not
immerse body or the cord in any liquid.
1. Always allow the oven to cool
completely before cleaning.
2. Make sure the oven is unplugged and
the timer is in the OFF position.
3. Do not use abrasive cleansers, as
they will damage the finish. Simply
wipe the exterior with a clean damp
cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the
cleansing agent to a cloth, not to the
flatbread oven, before cleaning.
4. To clean interior walls, use a damp
cloth and a mild liquid detergent.
Never use harsh abrasives as these
could damage the oven surface.
5. To remove crumbs, slide out the
crumb tray and discard crumbs. Wipe
clean and replace. To remove baked-
on grease, soak the tray in warm
soapy water or use nonabrasive
cleaners. Never operate the oven
without the crumb tray in place.
6. Remove the wire rack and hand wash
with warm soapy water; it can also
be washed in the dishwasher.
7. To clean the wire mesh and pizza
peel, hand wash with warm soapy
water and let dry.
8. To clean the pizza stone, allow it to
cool before cleaning. To remove
baked-on foods, scrape with a
spatula and rinse in warm water. Do
not soak or clean with detergent or
soapy water as the stone may absorb
the taste and smell of the detergent.
Let the stone air-dry completely
before your next use. The pizza stone
is NOT dishwasher-safe.
