How To Use
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Pizzazz
Plus rotating oven
(Fig. A). Wash the baking pan in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry
thoroughly.
1. Set the rotating oven on a flat, dry countertop away from coun-
tertop edge.
2. Position the pan over the lower heating element at an angle
so the back inside rim of the pan rests against the back of the
“curls” on the lower element tray
(Fig. B). Slowly lower the
pan until it is parallel to the counter.
Gently drop the pan in place – it will automatically center itself
so that the drive shaft is inserted in the pan’s hub. Usually, the
pan rotates slightly as it drops into place.
you can tell that it is properly in place by plugging the unit in. The pan will immediately begin to rotate. if it doesn’t,
reposition the pan using the above instructions.
3.
For making pizza,
remove pizza from box or wrapper and cardboard disk. Center pizza on baking pan. When bak-
ing take-out pizza or rising crust pizza, you may use the baking wheel or special baking tray if provided by the pizza
manufacturer. Refer to the chart on page 4 for times and settings.
For making other convenience foods,
remove food from package. Do not use the crisping trays or sleeves on the
rotating oven. Distribute food evenly on baking pan. Refer to the charts on pages 5 and 6 for baking instructions for
the specific convenience food being prepared.
4. Plug the unit in. The motor will turn on and the baking pan will begin to rotate. note: if the baking pan does not
rotate, the pan hub is probably not centered over the drive shaft (Fig. B). Reposition the pan following the instructions
in step 2.
5. Slide the heat element selector switch to the appropriate setting (LoWER–DUAL–UPPER).
6. Press the timer dial down and rotate it clockwise to the desired baking time. Refer to the cooking charts on pages 4, 5
and 6, rather than the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, pizzas will cook faster on the Pizzazz
Plus rotating oven
than in a conventional oven. once the timer is set, the heating elements will turn on and the food will begin to cook.
Do not preheat the rotating oven.
Be sure to always rotate the timer dial beyond the “4” minute mark then back to the desired time when selecting a set-
ting of four minutes or less.
note: When the heating elements are turned on, the metal surrounding the heating elements will expand. you may
hear a light humming or vibrating sound, or a slight pop, as the metal expands. This is normal.
7. if timer goes off and additional baking time is needed, simply reset timer to desired time. To cook 4 minutes or less,
rotate the dial beyond “4” and then back to time desired. This will activate the heating elements and timer function.
When food appears done, press down on the timer dial and turn it to “0” if it is not at “0” already. The heating ele-
ments will turn off when the timer is at the “0” position. note: you will hear a clicking sound periodically whenever
the unit is plugged in, the pan is in place, and the timer is at the “0” position. This is normal.
8. Then while the pan continues to rotate, using hot pads carefully lift the baking pan off the rotating oven, being careful
food does not touch the upper heating element. Set hot baking pan on a heat resistant surface. note: As soon as you
lift the baking pan from the rotating oven, the automatic shut-off switch will shut the rotating oven off.
9. Unplug the unit. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning or storing.
10. Carefully place food on a serving plate or slide pizza onto cardboard circle or pizza tray. Cut and serve.
Do not
cut pizza on the baking pan. For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Do not use metal
utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface.
Important Information
Never leave unit unattended.
Pizza ingredients and other foods burn and smoke when overcooked and in extreme
situations may even ignite. The amount of rising that occurs on rising crust pizzas varies from pizza to pizza. in rare
