Pressing Dough:
For best results, your dough should be
proofed before pressing, but it will also press
directly out of your refrigerator. Flour is not
required to press a crust and
should NOT
be
dusted on any part of the machine.
1. Check to see if you have the correct type
of electrical current or serious damage could
occur.
2. Press the power button, the green light
above will illuminate when powered on.
3. Set your desired temperature on the
control panel by using FIG. A and the
instructions above. We recommend a
temperature of 150ºF. Testing with your own
dough may desire a different setting.
Note
: Heat is provided in the upper and lower
platens enable the dough to flow more rapidly in
the pressing cycle. The heat IS NOT intended for
baking
.
4. Swing open the lower platen and apply a
quick spray of a good water based food
release on the platen.
5. Place your pre-portioned ball of dough in
the approximate center of the lower platen.
Add another spray to the top of the dough
ball.
6. Close the platen and, with both hands,
press the two green buttons on the machine
simultaneously.
7. Press the green buttons until it beeps then
release both buttons. The timer will actuate
and, when the time cycle is completed, the
platens will release automatically. (Timer is
factory preset for six (6) seconds.
Instructions to change the timer is found
above under Controller Operations.)
9. Remove the finished product by rotating
the upper platen until you have proper space
to remove your dough.
10. Remove the crust, place on a pan or peel,
add toppings and bake.
