Operating your Breville Pizza Oven
Before first use
Before using the Pizza Oven for the first time,
remove and safely discard any packaging
material and promotional labels. Ensure the
appliance is switched off at the power outlet
and the power cord is unplugged.
Remove the pizza stone from the Pizza
Oven and wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Wipe the interior surfaces of
the Pizza Oven with a soft, damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Re-insert the pizza stone and close
the lid.
The Pizza Oven is now ready to use
Insert the power plug into the power outlet
and switch on.
For best results preheat the Pizza Oven
before use. To do this, set the temperature
control to Setting 2.
When switched on for the first time, the Pizza
Oven may give of vapours for a short period
of time. This is due to the oil residue that may
have been used in the manufacturing process.
This is not detrimental to the performance of
the Pizza Oven and will dissipate with use.
The Pizza Oven has three heat settings:
Setting 1
is a low heat setting and can be used
to keep cooked pizzas warm.
Setting 2
is recommended for cooking most
pizzas.
Setting 3
is a higher heat setting giving pizzas
a crisper crust and is recommended for pizzas
with thick toppings.
The heating light will illuminate when the
Pizza Oven is preheating. When the correct
temperature is reached, the heating light will
go out and the Pizza Oven will be ready to
use.

The heating light may turn on and off during
operation. This is the automatic thermostat light
indicating that the correct temperature
is being maintained.
Carefully open the lid using oven gloves. Do
not lean or stand over the Pizza Oven when
opening the lid as steam may be released.
If cooking a pre-purchased pizza, ensure that
all packaging materials are removed before
cooking. Some pre-purchased pizzas are
packed on a sheet of paper or polystyrene
which may stick to the base of the pizza or to
the pizza stone.
Place prepared pizza onto the pizza stone.
Ensure that pizzas are less than 30cm in
diameter. Also ensure pizza toppings are well
below the inside of the lid, to avoid
over-browning or burning.
Carefully close the lid using oven gloves.
At the end of cooking, carefully open the
lid using oven gloves. Do not lean or stand
over the Pizza Oven when opening the lid as
steam may be released.
Remove the pizza using a heat-proof spatula.
Never use a knife or pizza cutter on the stone
as this could damage the fine-grain cooking
surface. Remove the pizza from the stone prior
to cutting.
Cook on one side of the pizza stone only.
Do not reverse pizza stone to the clean side
if it becomes stained or discoloured. The pizza
stone will darken in colour with use. Clean the
pizza stone after each use (refer to cleaning
instructions on page 9).
