BEFORE USE
Before the first use, it is recommended to run the pizza oven without a
pizza at its highest temperature setting to allow any manufacturing
residue to burn off. This will also remove any traces of odor initially
present. Allow the oven to heat for approximately 10 to 15 minutes by
turning the heating element control knob to DUAL (
) and setting
the timer to 10 to 15 minutes via the timer control knob.
NOTE
: Initial operation of the pizza oven may result in minimal smell
and smoke. This is normal due to the burning of protective manufacturing
residue applied to the heating elements.
OPERATION
CAUTION
: Whenever operating the pizza oven, allow a minimum of 4 inches of open space around the exterior
of the oven for proper air circulation. NEVER operate the oven without the baking rack installed. To reduce the
risk of personal injury or burns, avoid touching the hot surfaces of the oven during operation.
1.
To turn the pizza oven ON, rotate the timer control knob clockwise to select the desired time. The knob
must past the 10 minute marker in order to activate the oven. For cooking times less than 10 minutes, simply
turn the timer knob past the 10 minute marker, and then counterclockwise to the desired time. Once the
set time has expired, the timer will ring to indicate the end of the programmed time and the unit will stop
heating. The maximum setting for the timer is 60 minutes.
2.
The power indicator light will be illuminated whenever the pizza oven is heating.
NOTE
: The exterior of the pizza oven will produce heat during use and may become hot. DO NOT touch
hot surfaces. ALWAYS use the handles or control knobs. ALWAYS wear protective, insulated oven gloves when
inserting or removing items from the hot oven.
3.
To turn the oven OFF, rotate the timer control knob counterclockwise to OFF/0.
NOTE
: ALWAYS use extreme care when removing the baking rack, crumb tray or any hot container from the
pizza oven. ALWAYS use the handle of the baking rack and an insulated oven mitt when removing hot items from
the oven.
4.
To bake a pizza, preheat the pizza oven for approximately 3 minutes by setting the heating element control
knob to DUAL (
), and then turning the timer control knob to the desired time.
NOTE
: Remember to activate the pizza oven by turning the timer control knob past the 10 minute marker.
For cooking times less than 10 minutes, first turn the timer knob past the 10 minute marker, and then
counterclockwise to the desired time.
