Before Using Your Pizza Oven
Use & Care
1. Place oven in a well ventilated area to burn off any residual dust from manufacturing.
2.
Plug
unit in, open door and set Temperature Control to 400˚F (205˚C). After one hour,
close door and increase temperature to 500˚F (260˚C) for at least 1½ hours.
NOTE:
The oven may emit an odor during this process; this is normal and not harmful,
and should quickly dissipate.
3.
Turn
off the oven and allow it to cool completely. Remove any smoke residue from the
interior with a dry cloth.
4.
Place
clean, cool oven in the area where it will be used. Be sure there is at least 6 inches
of clearance between sides and top of oven and any wall or cabinet.
5.
Check
to ensure nothing is blocking the exhaust vent on back of unit.
1. When opening oven door, be sure to guide the door while lowering it. Doing so will prevent
possible damage to the door jamb after an extended period of time.
2.
Remove
ceramic deck from cool oven.
3. With a deck brush, scrape off hardened spillage.
• To clean heavily soiled decks, return deck to oven and run at highest temperature
in a well-ventilated area for ½ hour. When oven and deck are cool, remove deck
and brush off residue.
NOTE:
Never use high-abrasion brushing or water to clean deck, or immerse or let any water
or any other liquids come into contact with the ceramic deck. Any of these can cause deck
to crack.
4. Wipe interior of oven with damp cloth, avoiding heating elements.
5. When cleaning exterior, use stainless steel cleaner and wipe in the direction of the grain.
6.
To clean
the glass door, use a glass cleaner or damp cloth and dry with clean cloth.
NOTE:
Daily cleaning is suggested to keep oven performing its best.
CAUTION:
ALLOW OVEN TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE OVEN FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE ANY SHARP OR HARD KITCHEN UTENSILS AS THIS COULD
DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF THE OVEN.
